Gajim - 2024-08-14

hello, I'm not sure why but I cannot get themes to work. I downloaded and moved dracula.css to .config/gajim/theme, and after restarting the app multiple times, it still doesnt show up in the theme drop down menu. If it's to any help, I'm on EndeavourOS with XFCE as my DE.

wisteria: are you using flatpak?

> wisteria: are you using flatpak? Yes, I couldnt get gajim to even start while using either the pacman or the aur package ↺

I don't think I've ever set themes in gajim the way you describe so I can't help there. You can set themes for flatpak like this https://itsfoss.com/flatpak-app-apply-theme/

Seems to work now after the first set of commands, thank you very much!

you're welcome

I'm trying to use the Gajim flatpak version. I have previously used the debian repo version and my password was saved in KWallet. When I try to use the Flatpak version it doesn't seem able to save my password into Kwallet with an error that starts with "(E) gajim.c.passwords Save password failed" and ends with a full stack trace.

I'm not a flatpak expert, but is there something easy I can check?

justin: feel free to post the error here

024-08-13T21:32:43 (E) gajim.c.passwords Save password failed https://conference.gajim.org:5281/pastebin/d14d4c84-135e-43aa-a70f-37f87f9b03f2

I don't use kwallet for credential storage, so I don't exactly know. I'm on ubuntu. The stack trace says "maybe libqca-ossl is missing". Does that package exist in your repos? My system has already installed libqca-qt5-2-plugins and libqca-qt5-2. Could be one of those?

Does that need to be a flatpak package or a base system package?

I'm assuming base system

I don't actually know

I don't know flatpak well

libqca-qt5-2 is installed. The credential saving worked on Gajim when installed from deb.

Environments in flatpak are isolated from system. You may need to check where the flatpak sandbox locates

is there anyone here running gajim flatpak in kde?

there is a hole in the sandbox to store the password https://github.com/flathub/org.gajim.Gajim/blob/92896f9c6be3f9a60ecf9ed44091b4d2352a9181/org.gajim.Gajim.yaml#L17

For some of my contacts, I have no line break in the chat window, for most others I do. Is there an option to enforce the line break?

its a bug, if you have a long link in the chat view

either delete that message or wait until its not loaded anymore because you have more recent messages

> its a bug, if you have a long link in the chat view Thanks. Will this bug be fixed in a future release? I've read the linked page "fix: Fix wrapping lines for long words", but I don't know what to do with it. ↺

Sevenupman@404.city, yes it willbe

justin, you need to install libqca-qt5-2-plugins

then restart your system

issues with gajim

1. gets in a connection loop with expired certs

2. anonymous sasl mechanism missing for connect

3. missing a do-not-download-avatars feature

2. nvm, https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/python-nbxmpp/-/commit/86d8fff177036f82ebf57cc4fdc331a8a2fa7017

Why do you not want to download avatars ✏

because it's less bloat

use IRC

epic: there is always an avatar. The question was, why not download the one the user publishes

epic: you may like TUI xmpp clients like profanity or poezio

well personally I usually prefer avatars
