Gajim - 2024-03-18

I guess it's normal but gajim gets pretty bogged down when downloading chat from MAM

Is it possible to make gajim multi-threaded? Just out of curiosity. ✏

I also wonder about the possibility of rate limiting the mam sync to reduce cpu load.

Or maybe something else altogether would make it more efficient. I'm not sure what the actual source of the cpu load is. Maybe it's the fact that it's rendering the newly downloaded messages as they are downloaded. Maybe instead we could show a static message like "Syncing messages..." and not render until sync is complete. ✏

Python threads are useless because of the GIL.

First we would need to find out what's causing the CPU load

maybe I'll try to figure that out another time

fjklp: here are the instructions on how to profile cpu usage https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/wikis/development/Debugging#performance-profile

thanks

I'm not sure how I'll go about getting gajim to download a bunch of messages

maybe running a local server and somehow generating a bunch of messages on it ✏

Just join some random group chat

as far as I know, chat only gets downloaded for previously joined chats, not newly joined

I might have an opportunity to do this, but it would be nice to have a way to produce this activity on demand

Also new joined but only one day

But you can simply create a new chat Spam it with 200 messages

Delete your database

And rejoin

You can also simply change the date we request on first join inside the code

Change it to one month and join gajim

yeah

Should yield many messages

I was thinking it would be nice if there's a way to insert a bunch of fake chat directly in the prosody mam

might be easiest to do it your way

If I remember well, Conversations group has enabled history since it's very existence. I joined the MUC and it ate my roaming data like crazy 🤣

Reading the gajim changelog I stumbled over: > Hint that a contact is a bot in the chat banner How does this work?

Also why does fedora ship gajim 1.7.*?

Ask fedora :)

You could create an issue an ask fedora people to update

hannibal: ic. I thought there might be a CI pipeline maintained by the project which is connected via their fedpkg tool

> You could create an issue an ask fedora people to update Or first figure out if I could upgrading the rpm build instructions myself and if it works do a pr to fedora ✏

Will have a look at it in the next days.

kalkin: devices have a identity which we can read

Disco Info is the keyword xep0030

lovetox: thanks

👋 howdy. have gajim 1.8.4 installed in arch linux, with gstreamer 1.24.0, clutter-gst 3.0.27, and gst-plugins-{good,bad,ugly} 1.24.0. when i attempt to make a voice call, i'm getting gajim.c.jingle_rtp throwing an error: "could not initialize SRTP encoder" and the call fails. am i missing something? i haven't been able to find anything related to this online anywhere, not sure what i'm doing wrong here.

with another contact, i'm getting `gst_base_auto_convert_register_filter: assertion 'g_strcmp0 (name, ((GstAutoConvertFilterInfo *) tmp->data)->name)' failed` and the call just never connects ✏

wreck, calls don't work at the moment

well that explains that, lol. thank you!

is there an open issue i can follow or anything?

somebody is working on it, you can track progress here: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/merge_requests/995

thank you!

cal0pteryx: beat me to it : )

speediercal0pteryx ;)

😅️

lovetox: can you give me a hint on what to search to change the amount of log downloaded on first join?

mam module ✏

_get_muc_query_params

thanks

I thnk I just change days in ``` # First join start_date = now - timedelta(days=1) ```

yes
