Gajim - 2023-12-31

For some reason on gajim I get `Request Entity Too Large` for a ~8MB video, but when I upload a 15MB video from my phone (Monocles.chat) it works just fine without any errors. Log: https://bpa.st/BBSQ

oh and the server is advertising the correct 1GiB upload limit.

lets see if this is a regression or server side issue

Yup appears to be a regression between 1.8.3 and 1.8.4

oh its already fixed in the latest version?!?!?

nevermind, latest commit works just fine... gotta wait for 1.8.5, apologies for the false report

wait no it doesn't... its an Arch Linux packaging issue liekly

when installed into the system it breaks, when running `launch.py` manually after checking out `1.8.4` it works fine. ✏

Did the build process change between 1.8.3 and 1.8.4 which could potentially mean the package is missing content?

because it currently seems like a downstream bug, seen as running upstream code works fine

What's the exact error

If Gajim would think you try to upload a file over the limit it would not send a server request

Spam

polarian, also be aware that there are multiple limits, the one Gajim shows is the max file size limit, which is advertised

there can be many limits on a server

max file count, accumulated file size of all files on the server

transfer per day, transfer by week ...

Oh

Already banned.

if it's behind a reverse proxy using an external component can also give that kind of error you need to rise the client max size polarian

> seems there runs no deamon that offers this dbus interface That's weird, I was just running a fresh KDE Arch Linux install, and now the issue is gone without a trace. Anyway, if I stumbled upon it, I'll implement a proper error message.

Also, looks like there's some regression regarding encryption-by-default, which only works for 1:1 chats now. I'll try to debug it when I have a while.

> there can be many limits on a server I am aware, but considering other clients can upload just fine... ↺

> transfer per day, transfer by week ... not the issue. Otherwise I wouldnt be able to upload on other devices/clients ↺

> if it's behind a reverse proxy using an external component can also give that kind of error you need to rise the client max size polarian My reverse proxy has already been bumped for max body size ↺

polarian, thats not a gajim error though

how big is the file you are trying to upload?

if you dont see the error in the xml console, its a error from your http server

you will find it in your http server logs

and if you run gajim with -v it certainly will show that error with more details

but check your nbxmpp version

we fixed a few http related bugs there

> how big is the file you are trying to upload? 8MB ↺

> if you dont see the error in the xml console, its a error from your http server I will check, but I dont see why other clients work but not gajim. ↺

I can upload large files through monocles.chat without issue but not gajim

guessing will not help us

as said, please look at a debug log

further please check your nbxmpp version

willdo when my laptop is charged :)
