Gajim - 2024-10-21

Hi everyone, I noticed that some friends who use Gajim on Windows do not see when they are added to private groups. Did any of you happen?

Does "not see" mean your are not joined ? Or what do you expect to see exactly?

Does Gajim support Dynamic Forms? Do you know of working examples? https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0336.html XEP-0336: Data Forms - Dynamic Forms

why does Gajim not accept self signed certificate? I cannot preview images sent to my server, on Conversations images are visible

(E) nbxmpp.http Request(xxxx): g-tls-error-quark: Unacceptable TLS certificate (2)

Because it's not implemented

lovetox, are you planning to implement this?

Me personally? No it's not on my list of things I want to work on

Contributions are welcome though

> Does "not see" mean your are not joined ? Or what do you expect to see exactly? Hmm yes.. they do not receive the request of joining in. Next days I will go to watch and I will have more details

cal0pteryx, why have you changed it to Gtk.GestureClick? Anyway, I've noticed that the released event is never emitted during a play-back for yet-to-be-find-out reasons: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/blob/gtk4/gajim/gtk/preview_audio.py?ref_type=heads#L141 ✏

never emitted actually*

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72303475/gtk4-gestureclick-no-released-signal-emitted this is from 2022: > The GTK scale widget appears to have some issue with not emitting the released signal.

Nice bug.

12 hours ago someone wrote in this thread: > I found an easier way... put the GtkScale widget in a GtkBox (or other container), attach the GtkGestureClick to the parent and set its propagation phase to GTK_PHASE_CAPTURE. You'll get Pressed and Released that way. I will try that out. ✏

Works \o/, so the preview audio is almost fixed I hope, unless there more bugs I haven't encountered yet.

cal0pteryx, you have added the comment > # TODO GTK4: release eventcontrollers in do_unroot, though the docs say: > Widgets will remove all event controllers automatically when they are destroyed, there is normally no need to call this function.

Another topic, I get a huge cursor currently on Plasma 6.2.1.1 Wayland with the Gtk4 build and the warning > ../gdk/wayland/gdkcursor-wayland.c:210 cursor image size (64) not an integer multiple of theme size (24) but it looks like it's going to be fixed in Gtk soon-ish https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/7760 :)

and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/7722

meson: but that a widget gets destroyed all references to it must be released

Depends where the callback for your event points to

If it points to a method on the widget itself it's a cycle

Hence release it in unroot

lovetox, makes sense.

About setting colors in DrawingArea: before I had used style_context, state flags and render_background, but the latter is now deprecated. How else could I access colors defined in gajim.css to use them for cairo fill() and stroke() ?

meson: currently we're using SignalManager to connect signals. This class keeps track of handler ids and lets us disconnect all handlers using _disconnect_all() in do_unroot. That's what the comment was about

I think in gajim's theme window there should be examples of color conversion between gajim.css and rgba values

css_config should include the logic I think

cal0pteryx: css_config was either None or app.css.config_get_value was None weirdly ✏

cal0pteryx lovetox Is the gtk4 branch db-compatible with the latest release? I.e. can I go forward and backward without shooting my own foot?

cal0pteryx: css_config was either None or app.css_config.get_value was None weirdly ✏

debacle: I hope so :) as I just do so

debacle: there shouldn't be any changes to the db code.

cal0pteryx: does `app.css_config.get_value(selector, attr)` only access selectors defined in theme.py? And where are the defaults for those in theme.py, I couldn't find any for eg `.gajim-group-row` in any *.css file.

could be a old one

we allowed to theme the group row in the roster

but i dont think we do anymore

I am bit puzzled, I've added `.audiovisualizer { background: #0a66c2: }` to gajim.css and tried to get the value by `app.css_config.get_value('.audiovisualizer', StyleAttr.BACKGROUND)`. `app.css_config` is not None, but `get_value` always None. > CSSConfig handles loading and storing of all relevant Gajim style files > The order in which CSSConfig loads the styles > 1. gajim.css

Link Mauve, I fixed the AUR package, fyi

meson, you cannot get values from gajim.css

this is for values in default.css

but what are you trying to solve here, this whole thing is for gajims theme option, i dont want to extend this really, and certainly not to single widgets backgrounds

lovetox: I want to have the theme accent colors for the visualizer for the three states: default not-yet-played, played and seek

maybe try that

Thanks, will check it out tomorrow.

Hi, I’ve checked the Tor proxy in an account’s proxy preferences, and now it’s stuck in Connecting state; how can I debug that?

I do have the tor daemon running.

it takes a while, be patient. if its not connected within 5 minutes, somethings wrong

It says 2024-10-21T21:45:41 (I) nbxmpp.connection (linkmauve.fr) Connect Error: g-io-error-quark: HTTP proxy connection failed: 501 (40)

But there should be no HTTP proxy involved, tor exposes a SOCKS5 proxy instead.

meson, GTK 4 highly encourages you to create widgets, instead of using a GtkDrawingArea.

That way you can benefit from all of the CSS machinery.

Eduard T, thanks, I’ve been unavailable this week and unlikely to have time for it now either.

> meson, GTK 4 highly encourages you to create widgets, instead of using a GtkDrawingArea. I will check out what's the difference to what I've done. Thanks ↺

Link Mauve, the links are the same

meson, https://blog.gtk.org/2020/04/23/custom-widgets-in-gtk-4-introduction/ and https://blog.gtk.org/2020/04/24/custom-widgets-in-gtk-4-drawing/ might help you with that. ✏

Oops, thanks fixed!

Link Mauve: ah yes, that introduces Gsk and snapshots, but the plan was first to stick with render_func and DrawingArea in order to not make too many big changes.

meson, maybe ignore the wrong theme for now then?

I think I found a workaround, which I will try out tomorrow.

Later we can move everything, where it makes sense, to snapshop rendering

Link Mauve, are you sure your server offers connection on the 5222 port and you A record points at the right ip?

there is no srv record resolution over TOR

seems more like you maybe configured websocket connection maybe in your account settings

but i would need to see more from that log

lovetox, I’ve overridden the connection settings to the .onion address, port 5222, and PLAIN connection, and now I’m trying to make Prosody to accept that.

The connection should be secure despite PLAIN, because it’s going over tor to the .onion domain.

Even though I use my @linkmauve.fr JID.

But when I check the Tor proxy in Gajim, with no other configuration, it picks HTTP instead of SOCKS5 which is Tor’s default.

you would need to share more of the log

we make many http queries, these need to go over a http proxy

Not a SOCKS5 proxy?

no idea

you showed one single line

it maybe related or not

Should I try with a new profile to get back to the default values?

you should share the log

and not try and error

My current log doesn’t use HTTP since I configured it to use SOCKS5 instead.

I’m talking about the default Gajim configuration.

the log show detailed informations, when it connects to what ip

Hi, I just registered on the gitlab, I'm willing send a MR, but it seems I can't fork the repo for now. Should I ask that here? :)

Username is the same as here, cve-1312

FYI: Just uploaded a Gajim git snapshot of the GTK4 branch to Debian experimental. ✏
