Gajim - 2024-04-21

Hello, I'm having a little trouble removing an account. I tried adding it, but for some reason it never loads (other clients only sometimes can connect, so it is the host). How might I remove it manually in files after I make backups of everything? ✏

https://share.chat.lazytapir.com/upload/EPZpg4dHucpcDTSTU5emRCD4/beac91ff-1067-46e5-a3cf-06544952fb5b.png

Is it possible to bypass this warning with http upload? I am trynig to test locally and it'd be mildly inconvienent to get a cert and setup /etc/hosts

I guess I could add my own CA

That's odd; I was just having that issue too

paculino, what version of Gajim are you using

And why do you need backups, if the account never worked?

backup of what exactly?

1.7.3 on devuan-stable. It is unchanged from debian. I have a working account added on a friend's server, which was originally on gajim. That server is being shut down, so I tried to add my very old account, but it is forever pending on gajim and only sometimes loads on other clients. I want to manually remove it in the files, but, out of fear of accidentally messing something else up, intend to backup all files involved first.

there is only 2 relevant databases

~/.local/share/gajim/omemo_*.db

the wildcard is the jid of your old account

sqlite3 databases?

you can simply remove that database, no need for backup if the account is really shutdown

and then ~/.local/share/gajim/logs.db

Do I delete the entirething? I thought it would be references elsewhere

logs.db is a bit trickier and you probably can use a GUI like SQLitebrowser

then you would need to find the jid in your "jids" table, and see the where that primary key is linked in the "logs" table in the field "account_id"

then you could issue a DELETE statement where everything is deleted from that account_id

the omemo db you can delete simply

its bound to your account

or you wait until Gajim 1.9 then we delete all related stuff in the database if you remove the account

but yeah we currently have no way to add a account where the server is not reachable ..

So if I wait until 1.9, deleting the omemo file removes the useless account on the side, but if I do it now, it doesn't?

the omemo db are encryption keys, if you never will use the account anymore they are useless

not sure what you mean by "on the side"

The left side of the window has three accounts I can select. Two have been used, and one has not been used and cannot be used on gajim

Hello, my Gajim app on Windows is not getting connected to internet. I restarted the app and system, but no change. I want to reinstall the software, however I don't remember the password of my xmpp account. And I don't have the option to use forget password at movim.eu. So, is it possible to retrieve password from Gajim app on Windows? ✏

tomchaplin, from inside Gajim, no, but Gajim stores the password in the "Windows Vault"

and there might be software that can read the whats in the "Windows Vault"

paculino, so i understand you right, if you look under Accounts -> Modify Accounts, you see the not working account there?

Yes. I see connecting.

Right lovetox, it is stuck as "Connecting.... desynced" and I can hit remove in that menu and wait hours and nothing happens

in the account remove screen

there is a checkbox "unregister from service"

i guess its not checked?

It has said "Trying to remove account..." for some hours in the popup. I cannot check it

yeah ok this seems like a older bug, account removal should not have anything to do with if the server is reachable

im pretty sure we fixed that

so either upgrade to 1.8.4 in debian backports

or simply wait until you upgrade your debian

it should work with again with a newer version

Does the backport need any libraries from backports too?

yes, but i guess debian package manager handles that for you

i guess you are on bookworm?

> im pretty sure we fixed that Not sure, I think I experienced that on the latest version as well ↺

I am on Devuan, a fork of debian. Gajim is an unchanged package between the two, so my gajim is equivalent to bookworm

ah .. ok then i have no idea if you can upgrade

paculino, the account in the Accounts Dialog is "Disabled" ?

But the database thing should work, right?

with the little swtich

It is now

I will try again

https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/11704

yeah but that is workedaround with simply disabling the account before trying

but yeah we need to fix that too :)

How long should it take typically? As long as signing in?

> yeah ok this seems like a older bug, account removal should not have anything to do with if the server is reachable https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/11704 still open :)

oh, he beat me to it

paculino, a second

go to accounts, disable the account, does this work?

Christoph:

When writing spellchecking seems to work always in English. Neither does Gajim seem to use MUC's language information for selecting the correct dictionary. Nor have I found a config option for setting language for personal contacts. Can Gajim do spellchecking based on language information?

me3 If you right-click the input field, you can select the dictionary language

It's saved for that chat

I've added my language `.aff` and `.dic` to `Gajim\share\hunspell`

Anon Ymous, right-click works. TNX > I've added my language `.aff` and `.dic` to `Gajim\share\hunspell` I don't have a dir 'Gajim/share'. Where is it?

Hi

> Anon Ymous, right-click works. TNX > > I've added my language `.aff` and `.dic` to `Gajim\share\hunspell` > I don't have a dir 'Gajim/share'. Where is it? You're on Linux? I guess the `share` folder could be specific to Windows and the hunspell dictionaries used by Gajim are those already on your system. ✏ ↺

Anon Ymous, can you please share the timezone which is set on your computer?

or at least is it a behind UTC or in front?

Рад сообщить, you could also give us this information

> Рад сообщить, you could also give us this information UTC +03:00

Thanks

i try to fix this today, so tomorrows nightly works as expected

> i try to fix this today, so tomorrows nightly works as expected Thanks

on what Windows version are you?

Windows 10, or 11?

Win10

Thx in advance!

Hi! I'm using Gajim on Arch Linux. When I try to call phones (via the Cheogram gateway), I get call failures with an error from gstreamer that says `gst-library-error-quark: Could not initialize SRTP encoder (3)`, followed by `gst-stream-error-quark: Internal data stream error. (1)`. I've tried Googling these errors, as well as related keywords, but I haven't had any luck. If anyone has experienced and fixed this before, I'd love to know how. Alternatively, I'd appreciate troubleshooting tips.

ThatOneMike, calls are not maintained at the moment. they do not work

Ah. Thank you. :)

> go to accounts, disable the account, does this work? No, it did not.

you should see an avatar in the left bottom for every account

set the status for the one that is not connecting to offline

or go to the account options and disable the "connect on startup" option

Thank you, that made it crash and be removed

then try to disable the account

Hey, is there no ability for Gajim to connect without any SSL/TLS? Like for over an .onion server?

you can try Accounts -> Connection

you have a option there to connect unencrypted

Oh I see, but the problem is, using the "Add account" utility, it has to first connect before adding the account to the list and being able to modify it furtherless :/

that is indeed true, so yeah no possibility at the moment

Ok, I'll try messing up with the database from an existing account and I'll see, thanks for the answer :)

...except i don't get where it's stored

~/.config/gajim

It's installed via flatpak, so I've looked into .var/apps/org.gajim.Gajim/, but the only db I see are omemo.db and logs.db :/

ah!

I was searching in data/gajim/ and went too quickly over config/ :)

Hi. I can't change Gajim's avatar. Is this a bug or what?

pedro.ataide: That's nor normal. What happens when you try?

fjklp: Nothing happens.

so you select a new avatar but it doesn't update the display of it anywhere?

fjklp: When I select an avatar, Gajim just sits there doing nothing, with the window open, as if it were trying to upload the avatar.
