Gajim - 2024-07-20

who is the admin of the gajim.org xmpp server?

it says administrators and owners on the right.

I mean log access so I can debug something but I'm guessing that no one wants to mess with that ✏

> I mean log access so I can debug something but I'm guessing that no one wants to mess with that lovetox I guess is the one who can answer that.

fjklp-temp: it's asterix

That's what I thought. I haven't seen him around lately.

lovetox: There is a new libproxy version 0.5.8 with the included fix 😀️ https://github.com/libproxy/libproxy/releases Is that sufficient for you to build this for the next Gajim release?

Oh! There already is 1.9.2! 🤪️

zak if you update this package, it will be automatically in gajim nightly https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libproxy

lovetox, what do you mean "update this package"?

mr against the repo

https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-libproxy

Ah, you mean it must be updated there on this website...

pkgbuild needs to be updated

Sorry, I don't understand. Where?

the file PKGBUILD in the repository i just linked

at leave it, i will do it quickly

Ah, you mean this here: https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-libproxy/PKGBUILD ✏

Too bad Gajim 1.9.2 was a few hours too soon.

why?

you can use nightly or not

https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/21453

Yes, but it's not perfect to communicate to the colleagues to use a nightly build.

But nevermind, at least the proxy can be disabled now, and there will probably be a Gajim 1.9.3 at some point.

Thank you very much for your constant support, lovetox.

np, you did a lot of debuging yourself on this one !

Anytime! It is our users that suffer from this 😀️

also we should not be happy too soon, we never tested this change :D

I will do that as soon as I can and provide feedback to the issue.

Gajim 1.9.2 has been released 🚀 https://gajim.org/post/2024-07-19-gajim-1.9.2-released/ This release brings an important OMEMO encryption fix, native notifications on Windows, usability improvements, and many bugfixes. Thank you for all your contributions!

🎉

hi! how can i create a private chatroom in gajim?

dunno if my server allow me create chatrooms

most do

you create it like any other channel and then change the settings to invite only

i never used xmpp before

dunno how create a chan

usrib: Gajim > Create Group Chat

it does nothing, maybe is returning an error but idk

"remote server not found"

oh it says that my server is not a "conversation group server"

hmm, maybe that is really not supported by your server. which one is it?

but that is really uncommon

my server is jabber.member.fsf.org

hmm, yeah it is possible that they disabled it. It's not a well maintained server

(sadly)

:(

just switch to another server, no big deal

ok thanks

Hi everyone! How can I see the status of what I'm playing on the system? I'd like to try that feature. It reminds me of the old MSN. Does it work only with local media or also with the Spotify app on Linux?

that feature was removed I think

cri: process logger = malware

well, I think it would be nice to have back.

💀

literal glowy feature

> that feature was removed I think it was there last I checked ↺

ah, sorry for the mis-info then

> Hi everyone! How can I see the status of what I'm playing on the system? I'd like to try that feature. It reminds me of the old MSN. Does it work only with local media or also with the Spotify app on Linux? cri: Account > Manage Accounts > account > Privacy > Media Playback ↺

it would be nice if we had a means to search settings

I'm tempted to make some interim means to do it

Note: Some package related to mpris is required to make this work. As far as I remember, it only gets shared with contacts with whom you have status sharing enabled. In gajim, you would see this status by viewing the contact in the contact list and hovering your pointer over the contact. I'm not aware of the messages showing anywhere else. I've not tested it with flatpak so I'm not sure if or how it's done there. Only some media players or other applications will make these statuses available. I think VLC does. ✏

good point about flatpak

I don't see a package mentioned in the dependencies for sharing media player status and can't remember the package name

Does anyone know what it is and if flatpak has it?

mpris shouldn't be a problem with flatpak https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/blob/master/flatpak/org.gajim.Gajim.yaml?ref_type=heads#L13

heh, I just found that too, thanks

does that mean that gajim will automatically have the privileges to do that without manual changes?

yes

hmm, not working for me at the moment

I have media playback enabled, I see vlc publishing the mpris stuff on dbus, I have status sharing enabled, don't see the status, using flatpak. I also see org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.* in flatseal.

works for me with flatpak and gnome-music. But the tooltip is only updated when switching chats

tested in 1:1 chat

> cri: Account > Manage Accounts > account > Privacy > Media Playback Thanks! but it don't see the status :c ↺

> Thanks! but it don't see the status :c I have the option with 1.9.2 installed with pip in a python3 venv environment. ↺

but I have not tested it
