Gajim - 2023-09-18

Hello

Gajim crashes when trying to send many images over HTTP upload

21 images, 442MB total size

Crashes with segfault

I have backtrace from gdb if you need it

> fjklp, this is not overlooked that was my assumption sorry, i missed "direct messages via muc" specifically

mrdoctorwho, im curious about the backtrace if python software is segfaulting again lol

opal, https://pastebin.com/Da4v42La

oh it's a glib segfault ouch

I think it's traced down to the horrible beautifulsoup

>_PyRun_AnyFileObject this doesnt look like a codepath for xml

so idk how beautifulsoup would pertain

this one is probably due to running from python console (so that I could use gdb), not sure though

I think I saw something bs4 related, but I can't find it anymore

maybe it was another crash (I had several attempts)

wait, it's here 4 #2 0x00007fffe8200bfe in on_data_read (source=<optimized out>, res=<optimized out>, user_data=0x5555599f5250) at ../libsoup/http2/soup-client-message-io-http2.c:1100 #3 0x00007fffe9483ab7 in async_ready_callback_wrapper (source_object=0x555559717b30, res=0x5555594643e0, user_data=0x5555599f5250) at ../gio/ginputstream.c:565

what was the reason to bring this absolutely horrible library to gajim?

oh libsoup

i ctrl+f beautiful no wonder

anyway my guess as far as code itself goes is that array=0xffffffff looks suspect and i'd want to see frame 2 of that but idk which version of bs4 youre using and i dont even have the source handy myself

I think I'm using the latest one that is required by gajim or provided in pypi

I run the msot recent gajim in virtualenv ✏

that tells me nothing since we're most likely on different distros

I run the most recent gajim in virtualenv ✏

yeah, likely. I'm on Fedora 38

if you use gdb's tui mode you probably get "source file unavailable" so yeah i guess you can poke through the code for the version of the library you have

libsoup has nothing to do with beautifulsoup

Description: HTTP client/server library for GNOME oh libsoup looks great yeah

>synchronous

so is this an upstream problem

im gonna assume yes because passing an invalid pointer around is surely not good api design

also, when pasting images from clipboard to gajim's window, it takes a good few seconds for it to process them

on a decent hardware

I just sent 34 images to the chat, they began uploading and and then they disappeared from the chat like I didn't send anything

mrdoctorwho: that's all well-known and documented in our issue tracker.

https://pastebin.com/pTXyFSUa is this verbose enough?

I installed glib and libsoup debugging symbols

probably copied twice though

What nbxmpp version do you have installed

python-nbxmpp Version: 4.3.1

opal: so true

go away

Hi, on https://gajim.org/download/ I suggest to change "sudo emerge gajim" to "sudo emerge -av net-im/gajim" On Gentoo you should always use the full cat/pkg name scheme, because pkg names alone may occur in several categories.

wymmmm

then you'd have to do the same for all the distros as well

Anyone here have a good recommendation for an android client with similar capabilities?

VA1DER, what capabilities? Have a look at cheogram

lissine, Similar to Gajim. I had been using Conversations/Blabber.im/Monocles, but all the conversations-based ones seem to interact badly and I get multiple message copies from some places when I use them.

I'll take a look at cheogram, thanks.

cheogram is also a Conversations fork

What I meant in my question was what features are you looking for? cheogram is similar to Gajim because it has more advanced features such as adhoc commands, message moderation etc.

> all the conversations-based ones seem to interact badly and I get multiple message copies from some places when I use them. I never encountered this, why don't you open an issue on https://codeberg.org/iNPUTmice/Conversations/issues/ after checking that a similar one doesn't already exist there and in https://github.com/iNPUTmice/Conversations/issues/

Hi guys. All very well? I wanted to suggest something to Gajim. I'm a user of this client on another PC and if there was another encryption option, like OTR, it would be great. I have several friends who use Pidgin and if there was at least encryption by default between both clients it would be helpful. I hope I didn't bother. Hugs!

please try to get them to switch to Gajim. Pidgin hasn't been updated for XMPP in almost 10 years

wym

i'd argue that pidgin is more robust tbh

but gajim is more feature rich

Salvor_Hardin, otr used to exist in gajim, it was removed for extremely good reason

you can use lurch on pidgin

also see https://github.com/gkdr/lurch#additional-plugins

afaik lurch will not work in group chats

you can use pgp though as long as you're not a pedophile

imo i think pgp is probably the best
