Gajim - 2024-09-13

Excuse me, how to delete the historical chat records of the client and the network side?

ccgoodshop: For removing chat history from gajim, in recent versions of gajim you go to Group Chat Details from a button at the top right, then Settings > Remove History

I Gajim deleted the history, but there is still history in the web client?

For removing chat history from the server, I'm not sure if you can. I'd _guess_ that deleting a muc will delete the history, but I'm not sure. The best you can probably do is ask the server admin if it's possible.

if someone else knows better, fill me in

> I Gajim deleted the history, but there is still history in the web client? You might need to contact the server admin ↺

anyway depending on the server, chat history retention can be up to several weeks

I have mine set to 1 week

Yeah most have a week or two. But best to see on the server website what it does, or contact the admin if it's not enough to just wait.

if one changes their archiving preferences to "never", will this erase the chat history on the server (it would apply to all contacts, i guess), or will it just prevent new messages to be added to the archive?

I guess it will only affect future messages. But it may be dependend on the server implementation

The data should be stored in a simple database somewhere, depending on which server software is being used

should be able to be manually deleted

but that depends on how much the server admin cares ✏

What does the “contact information” switch actually mean in the v-card privacy settings?

Does it mean the other part of my v-card except avatar and nickname?

yes

In English, is it also called a “contact” when he is not in one's roster but a 1:1 chat with him is opened?

this is not dependent on language i would say

in general i would not make a distinction between roster contact, and not roster contact

that there even is a roster, is something a user would not even need to know to use xmpp

agree ^ and it's a bit of an awkward UX even in simpler clients

so i would say, everybody you talk to is a "contact"

For me, the “contact information” in the settings is easily to be misunderstood, I would like to change it to “user information” or “other information” instead.

i agree it can be misunderstood

Thanks, that is all.

Hi, Gajim seems to have problems when running in an IPv6 only environment. It tries to download/resolve things over IPv4 which fails due to me not hav https://conference.gajim.org:5281/pastebin/11f9927a-aaa5-4f69-8f97-8cf7dfbcae78

we use a http lib, libsoup

i doubt they have a problem with ipv6

are you using a proxy maybe?

Nope, the only funny thing going on is NAT64

We can get more debug logs I look up the commands later

famfo, try running Gajim from console with ✏

G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

https://paste.ccc.ac/?6693a65376b51010#jIf9VKT8UpPT4nVrmPaX7yVFbdlE/xklnbDxOj3ZjGc=

what is of note too: sometimes it works, mostly immediately after restarting the client

normally resolving works in requesting ipv6 and ip4 parallel

the faster one wins

seems glib / libsoup aborts the ipv6 query once the ipv4 runs into an error

in my opinion this looks like a bug to me ✏

check the Gajim about window to find the GLib and libsoup version

`libsoup Version: 3.6.0`

hm im trying to reproduce this, but seems to work for me every time with that link

but i dont see if it uses ipv4

but some proxy stuff is ongoing

at least i yields results in your logfiles and prints some kind of proxy resolution

when i try the same on my machine i dont have that

further i have the error: GSocketClient: Connection attempt failed: Network is unreachable

which seems to be the ipv4 try

but then it just tries the next and succeeds

It seems to work when I open a chat, close it and open it again

seems to be just luck that the ipv6 dns entry returns faster than the error of the ipv4

no idea, anyway seems not like an Gajim issue, you can open a issue on the libsoup tracker

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsoup

attach your debug output

okay, will do, thanks

Undecided fingerprints??? What is this?

igx423: you have not told gajim yet if you trust those fingerprints or not

Please update the gajim-git pkg build file

you need to run ./build.py before installing gajim

This commit is important for all package maintainers, right?

yes, but im not aware of other packages pulling daily git

hannibal, there is a icon org.gajim.Gajim.Source.svg in our repo

do you know for what that was? Did some flatpak build tool need this for something, to generate icons or something
