Gajim - 2024-09-26

hello, I just started using Gajim, and am finding my way. I'm tech-phobic

gajim goes to the latest message, different to TG which goes to where I read up to last time. Is there a setting somewhere to change it?

There is no setting for that, presently. I think it is planned to implement that at some point.

ok, thank-you

jane: here is the merge request for that feature. In other words, the code is already written, so it will likely end up in gajim. https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/merge_requests/960

that's wonderful

I have another question

I am not seeing pictures. Is there some way to?

This is is unfortunately a bit tricky. Gajim seems to have a persistent problem with avatars, but it's hard to know if this is gajim's fault because it could be problems with servers. Gajim might be very slow to download all the avatars, but sometimes it just plain doesn't show them.

are you not seeing any avatars, or just some?

jane: or did you mean pictures that someone has uploaded to the chat?

I'm not sure what you mean by avatars. I am looking at a channel that bridges to TG. In TG I see pictures that people post but the same post in Gagim shows onlt the text underneath it. Is that an avatar?

An avatar is the picture next to a participant's name, or it is the picture next to the name of the chat room. You are talking about regular pictures as file uploads.

yes that s right

do you see that image? does it appear the same as the ones you are having a problem with?

no, I see a rectangle that says gajim with numbers underenath

heh, I think that is a description of the image. Does it say "Gajim - A fully-featured XMPP client"?

Yes

ok, that is an image that I sent. I guess I picked a confusing one.

oh, sorry. I didn't understand

yeah, I understand :)

I think maybe it is fixed for new messages from now on then, but not old ones

so, is that image that I sent appearing differently from the chat that is bridged to telegram?

Thank-you very much for helping me. i feel silly

meaning, do uploaded images in the telegram bridged channel have the surrounding box like the image I uploaded? ✏

I couldn't see images at all, just nothing. But then I switched a setting, and now I can see the image you put, but the old one is still missing

does the upload have a box around it?

yes a box, with a folder button under it

what happens if you click the icon on the left side of that box?

there should be a placeholder icon at the left, not the folder icon or the download icon at bottom-right ✏

no there is only folder or download

is there a URL (web address) contained in the box?

i copied to clipboard, will try to show you

That is my image. I was asking about the chat that is bridged to telegram

I copy that one too, one sec

I don't know what I'm looking at here. I thought you said that images were not showing?

sorry

the black part is an image in TG

In Gajim its mssing, shall I copy it?

I can only help with gajim stuff

go ahead

that's what should be the same, bridged ✏

it looks like the bridge is either incapable or not configured to send images

really, ok, that makes sense. thank-you once gain for your wonderful help. i appreciate it a lot

no problem

jane: you are always welcome to ask questions about gajim in here but I wanted to mention that general questions about xmpp-related stuff can be asked in xmpp:support@joinjabber.org?join

not that you need to worry too much about where your question belongs. I just wanted to mention it since I guess you are new :)

i'm having an issue with fetching adhoc commands on my server, it seems only server admins are able to fetch the command list from the muc component. server is prosody. any suggestions?

(muc is loaded into disco_items btw)

> i'm having an issue with fetching adhoc commands on my server, it seems only server admins are able to fetch the command list from the muc component. server is prosody. any suggestions? Probably best to ask in the prosody room: xmpp:prosody@conference.prosody.im?join ↺

thanks, i'm in there as well i thought i'd try here first :)

When is this flatpak issue going to be fixed? I'm going through withdrawals here, man. I need to update!

fjklp: install arch Linux

I mean the nightly. Arch ended up how far behind on the gajim package?

Install Arch Linux and compile your own Gajim on every commit then

fjklp: building Gajim nightly as flatpak is only like 3 commands there is a readme

Gajim on Arch is on 1.9.4, so only about 5 commits behind master

> Gajim on Arch is on 1.9.4, so only about 5 commits behind master Yes, but they were recently very late to update the package to the latest release. ↺

xmpp

Fuwupe: ?

oh sorry
