Gajim - 2024-05-16

lovetox: mention by the displayed nickname. Is this for the case where the bridge user themself has such illegal nickname so gajim notifies them? Or is it because you plan to implement a mention-related XEP?

does Gajim inhibits systemd sleep in case of new notifications? does that intended?

Hello people. Today when I booted my PC it turned out that I can't launch Gajim. Since I am basically cut off my communications via XMPP now, this MUC is my only way to solve this, because searching on the internet returned nothing. The log displays me a critical error about gst_base_auto_convert_register_filter, if you need a more detailed one - just say so, I will send it. Any help regarding this issue is very appreciated

sakuraxpride: are you on Linux and recently updated your system? Arch?

ann: no

We only hold a shutdown inhibitor

But that has nothing to do with notifications

nicoco, i mean when we click the avatar, we put a nickname into the input field

but i guess it was a stupid question, obviously we dont want there the resource

OK! I'll push the slidge update that includes the <nick> in all messages (when != resource). This is required for MAM, right, in case the participant is offline?

Anyway I also updated the MR on dev.gajim.org

yes, in the mam case, i get a message, and the usual process is to take the resource as nick, if you supply no other information i would overwrite the nickname

Yes, makes sense, same argument as for hats.

cal0pteryx, yup, it is an Arch based distro. Sorry for the late response, I am on a vacation rn

sakuraxpride: might be a regression in glib. I've seen some reports of segfaults. Could you post the full log?

more likely gstreamer if the last message ist something about registering filters

cal0pteryx, yeah, I've checked Arch's gitlab instance and it turned out that it is either glib2 package not being updated in time(?) or the appmenu-gtk-module package being installed. I removed appmenu-gtk-module and it works again, so thanks :)

did you create that issue just now on our tracker ? https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/11832

No, it wasn't me though

Hey, a friend of mine doesn't receive messages from a few contacts on their Gajim but receives them on Conversations. How to fix this?

MAM is on.

Conversations trusts gajim's fingerprint.

Not Conversations. Quicksy.

Messages aren't visible at all.

Check Accounts -> Advanced -> Archiving Preferences

Default needs to be set to "Always"

Does Gajim use a turn server if available?

what for?

lovetox: yes, it's set to Always

robertoo, then try to disable encryption and see if the same problem persists

lovetox: how could that fix it in low level terms?

it fixes nothing, it rules out encryption as the source of the problem

as in gajim doesn't show encryption errors, but rather just doesn't show the messages at all?

normaly it should not do this, but yes there are unknown problems that could cause gajim to not show it at all

I set the button icon via `set_from_icon_name('audio-input-microphone', ...)` but doing so, the icon does not adapt when changing to a dark theme. Is that likely a problem with the icon I use?

Is it worth bugging them about whether they trust gajim's fingerprint, could that cause this? (I'm quite sure they wouldn't mess with keys though)

meson, yes, the icon has to be prepared in a special way

cal0pteryx, maybe you can chime in how

robertoo, no if its just a trust issue gajim would show the message

feather-mic-symbolic works but looks to big even when setting _Button_ as the icon size.

can you show a screenshot

lovetox: OK. You mean tell someone to send an unencrypted message to that problematic gajim, right?

turn gajim off, send a few unencrypted message to someone, ask them to write a message back

turn gajim on, and see if the messages are there

so they don't have to turn OMEMO before writing back?

so they don't have to turn OMEMO off before writing back?

of course, i thought that is obvious if we are talking about writing a message "unencrypted"

to be precise, yes they need to turn omemo off

OK, will do.

> can you show a screenshot oh I thought I could reply with a picture ↺

This feat definitely needs to be added! ;)

meson: inkscape, select all, path > object to path, disable contours

https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/wikis/Icon-Resources

cal0pteryx, thanks. Would you go with the former icon (it was smaller and filled) or with the feather-mic-symbolic icon from the screenshot above?

The latter already works for dark themes.

meson: I don't have the other icon in my mind :D

here you go

I think the feather fits better to the style of the rest ✏

Ah thanks! I think you need to suffix it with -symbolic ✏

I think feather fits better to the style of the rest ✏

It should be the same color, i.e. grey

But yes, the size fits better

So we can't have both together, can we? ✏

yes, we can: -symbolic did the trick

Nice

noice

cal0pteryx, feature wise I got now everything in the MR I've planned so far, now we _just_ need to make the code pretty and merge-able :)

extra credits if someone can guess where I took the inspiration for the whole UI :D

meson: alright, I'll test it soon

thank you! good luck breaking it :P
