Gajim - 2024-03-01

I left my gajim client open since the 18th of feb and i just discovered from my system monitor that it is using 7.1 GB of ram, I had to stop it and start it again it is now setting at 180-190 mb but keeps increasing in ram usage

Mine does gradually use more but I don't think I've seen it hit 2 GB.

and that is letting it run probably 10 days or more

how many mucs are you in ? I am in like 36-39 mucs lol

I assume activity level in each chat matters

looks like I'm in about 50 right now

do you have spell checker on ? i read in the gitlab it was causing some excessive ram use but apparently it was fixed

yes

it is now at 217-218 and no increase after that

gradually increasing but at reasonable pace

r00tobo: any indicator about which action makes it increase?

ah i just did a scroll down and up in the participants list

and it is now 223 mb or something

223.4

but there is som activity in other mucs so

i am assuming if i did any search in the database it will load everything to ram correct ?

i just did another scroll up and down in another muc and i dont see it increasing

its at 223.5

now that i remember i have uploaded dozen of images using http upload to a few contacts in my roster

since the 18th to today

before the restart

That's the point, Gajim has to unload things it doesn't use anymore. Sometimes it fails in doing so ("leaking") memory. But one needs to see where that happens.

it is 229.7 now but i have switched between different mucs and loaded the chat there from unread to read now and sent few messages in those mucs

You'd have to keep tracking, until something sticks out as a possible leak. No need to share all details :D

yeah sorry :P

please remind me how do you turn off the gui exception wrapper while debugging

chud: by starting from a terminal

I am doing ./launch.py and it still pops up the "sorry, that shouldn't have happened" window

Maybe this helps https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/wikis/development/Debugging

i just uploaded few images to a private contact about 4-5 and the mem usage jumped from 233 to 259 ✏

the images are small in size like kilobytes in size avg. 70-95k

Hi, I have a problem with URL color in Gajim. In my Gajim client, the URL font color is blue and the "line hover highlight" color is also blue. This makes the URL hard to read when hovering over the message. I have changed the Gajim theme through Preferences -> Style -> Theme to a custom theme I made with the name "red_urls" but the blue-on-blue coloring still persists.

Here's two screenshots for detail:

My system is running on Arch Linux with KDE Plasma desktop environment. (So this is a Linux build of Gajim)

Hello, I have just seen some strange behavior. In a certain muc that also has a message archive, I was able to retrieve older messages when joining with conversations, it seems without restriction. But with Gajim it did not work. (only the messages from the time of joining were displayed). Is there any way to influence this in gajim so that it also loads the older messages?

not on first join

for subsequent joins you can check the sync threshold in the chat settings

I assume there is no hotkey to add a ZWSP

might be a useful PR 🤔

that setting seems to be broken

the URL color changes for eg group chat info, but for the chat `make_href_markup` won't be called

in this example i would not change the url color, rather the selection color

could be done via adding custom css

not sure we have a wiki for that

cal0pteryx, >Maybe this helps https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/wikis/development/Debugging I did the pycharm instruction and I'm still getting that window... Just getting an option across to a program is sometimes absurdly tricky for some reason. Is there a place in code somwhere I could just comment out to get rid of the "sorry, that shouldn'tve happened" window?

what does the error message say?

I am modifying gajim so I do expect expections to pop up, that's not the point. I just want them printed to stdout like they normally are

then you simply need to start gajim from console

or check the bottom of gtk/exception.py
