Is it possible to send geolocations using Gajim?

Using geo: URIs, yes

geo:52.000,7.400

cal0pteryx: This means, I need to type the location in the correct manner. It means: It is possible without UI-support, right?

It is, yes

Copy location from google maps or any other service, prepend "geo:", done

why is my gajim constantly disconnecting me from like every channel

same with me

every channel would probably mean you lose the connection to your server

if that happens you can check View -> Debug Console -> Log if it shows somekind of error

> why is my gajim constantly disconnecting me from like every channel My wife has this issue on her Windows machine. Just gave up using Gajim. Connected/Disconnected/Connected/Disconnected .. for days. Even after reboot. On my Windows machine, there's no problem. Haven't had time to dig into it. In the Linux version it used to work great. Then one day it say it couldn't connect. I didn't want to spend time figuring out the issue so I moved to Dino which isn't having a problem. ↺

that sounds like two clients attempting to log in with the same resource

so was Gajim on Windows and Linux connected at once?

> that sounds like two clients attempting to log in with the same resource She has Conversations on Android too, which stays connected. But, I have Gajim working on Windows, and Conversations on Android, and Dino, and Conversejs (I'm testing clients) and they are all simultaneously connected without issue. ✏ ↺

Jerry: check of gajim runs twice on that machine

Yes, at one point, until one day they didn't

I.e. task manager > gajim.exe

its hard to diagnose something like that just from the fact that Gajim disconnected

> its hard to diagnose something like that just from the fact that Gajim disconnected I did. Just one running ↺

But I've seen this as well once.

next time gather a debug log, its easy, simply enabling debug logging and send the log file to us, then we can help

Is there a specific reason Gajim doesn't have encryption on by default when possible?

Probably to avoid confusion or compatibility issues. You can go into the Privacy section of your Account settings to set it to OMEMO by default, or PGP/OpenPGP if you have those plugins installed

waffles: https://openports.pl/path/net/gajim the openbsd port has a readme that explains a fix for the disconnect issue that worked for me. give it a shot on your system. ✏

oh dang nvm. it must have changed. it was to enable "keep alive" if disabled in your account settings though.

I am using the latest release of the app under windows os. But l am not able to make audio call

rheman: that's the way it is.
