Gajim - 2023-10-10

I can join support@conference.monocles.de with Psi＋ and my account, but I can not get the room information with Gajim and my account. I can get the room information with Gajim and another account of server lightwitch.org. Weird. Ideas? ✏

I can join it with Conversations and my account too.

Oh... It looks like time out and Gajim gives up, I guess. Because when I try to join it with Conversations, the Gajim side succeed (with a little long time to connect the room).

Psi＋ also needs a little long time to connect it.

There is some weirdness with ejabberd servers and gajim right now.

I think it is the result of a known ejabberd bug and gajim being more sensitive about it

Should be fixed with the next ejabberd release if my guess is correct.

Kris: what was the issue?

Something with s2s certificate checks failing of first try

Some timing issue

Hi, just joined to report a crash issue. I went to gitlab but it thinks I'm a spammer.

I installed latest gajim from archlinux repo

added an account and it freezes

logs: https://pastebin.com/raw/CfG2hJwq

anyone seen this issue ?

> anyone seen this issue ? Nope. Is your account name longer than 1023 characters?

Not at all

It was very short

its the same nick here, at 404.city

Removing the account make Gajim freeze as well

> gtk_widget_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed This might be the real problem. just tried adding a another account. This time I didnt get the calltrace about the longer characters, but gajim still froze

aura, looks like you are not the first to encounter this assertion error: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=286513

thanks meson. Looks like the issue is still at large in that thread. Though nobody is talking about a freeze there.

They just see the error

no other side effects I suppose

aura, do you see anything else in the log, when you enable the debug output? https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/wikis/development/Debugging

Other than the call trace in https://pastebin.com/raw/CfG2hJwq, I see this as the last entry when I try to remove the account. Gajim freezes after that, and gnome asks me to kill it: nbxmpp.protocol.LocalpartByteLimit: Localpart must be between 1 and 1023 bytes 2023-10-10 11:22:42 (D) gajim.c.storage.cache Execution time for _commit: 1 ms 2023-10-10 11:22:42 (D) gajim.c.storage.cache Execution time for remove_roster: 1 ms 2023-10-10 11:22:42 (I) gajim.c.passwords Remove password from keyring

sounds like gajim is freezing because its waiting on some external component maybe?

can you remove the account from gajim and re add it

seems somehow this account ended up in an invalid state

aura ^

lovetox: will try that in a few hours and report back, thanks

it should be impossible what the traceback says, i dont know how you got into this situation, maybe a big upgrade? like from a very old gajim version

I'm curious about this one. Hopefully he tries that before something else.

I just went to add an account that already exists but gajim checks and blocks it :)

lovetox: it was a fresh installation, on Reborn OS (arch based)

very weird, then you should be able to reproduce it

did you register an account via gajim, or did you already have a existing one?

can you check the jid (or the localpart) in the db? lovetox Do you think there could be an error?

I tried adding a second account, and had the same freezing issue. Both accounts were already existing

meson: how do I check that in the db?

no you dont need to check it

but delete .config/gajim/settings.db

this will start fresh

and then try to add it again and see if the same thing happends

Okay, I will try that once I get home later today

Thanks for the suggestions :)

aura also about which gajim version are we talking?

i checked the codepaths in current master, and i consider it looks impossible to come into the situation that the localpart is not stored in the database

i did not look in earlier versions

> aura also about which gajim version are we talking? It's the latest one in arch repo, 1.8.1 ↺

I find that gajim does not automatically reconnect when a biboumi shuts down/server restarts. Seems like a bug to me. ✏

I find that gajim does not automatically reconnect when a biboumi server shuts down/restarts. Seems like a bug to me. ✏

biboumi server?

biboumi is a gateway, gajim does not need to connect to it

or do you mean join a irc channel after restart?

I don't know the specifics. I get "You have been removed from the group chat: System shutdown". Then I never join again.

I have to manually press the join button and it joins ✏

hm .. we start a rejoin timer

on shutdown, so this should work, but hard to test as you need a server for it

i would be interested in logs if you can reproduce it

note: I have not tested with another client

nicoco: thanks a lot for your contributions to gajim! They are very much appreciated :)

How do I import my data from Conversations? I want to be able to decrypt my past messages

not possible

lovetox, I just tried removing settings.db, still no luck. Tried removing the whole gajim folder, yet my issue is consistently repro'ing

the last thing gajim did before it froze was: 2023-10-10 17:28:30 (I) gajim.c.passwords Save password to keyring

please supply a log where you add the account ✏

lovetox i managed to add the public key to my account, all sorted.

Linuxhelptipsxmpp: you can decrypt old messages?

Only just started using gajim sorry, but from the sounds of it if you add the publc key to the account when you import it that might work.

popping in to ask, what stops jingle from working on windows?

er, rather I guess audio/video in general

> popping in to ask, what stops jingle from working on windows? At least libnice, but I'm working on getting rid of that ↺

I wouldn't expect gstreamer itself to behave flawlessly on Windows either tbh ✏

yeah, i cloned to poke around just now and realized that gtkglsink just doesn't exist i guess
