Gajim - 2025-01-17

CuriousPanda84, It's possible that the old avatar is cached by your contact's client

Tell them to log out and log in again

would restarting the client not trigger that same flow?

It depends on which client they use Are they using Gajim?

Yes. We are both using Gajim.

Yes, it should be.

You can also try doing the same

Well yes, we have both tried restarting with no luck.

can you see the avatar from a third account?

I was just going to try that to troubleshoot. I can check

Yes, after I exchanged contact requests from a secondary account the pfp showed up

And like I mentioned before, my Gajim client doesn't let me toggle on the "Share my online status" toggle with the contact I am having issues with. It simply resets back to off everytime

Yes that's the problem

If you don't share status it does not share the avstar

On what Gajim version are you?

> When I "note to myself" at work (Gajim 1.8.4), I don't get the messages at home (Gajim master of last week) and vice versa. That should work, right? I also encounter this behavior, across clients, I'm in draugr.de. I may randomly see or not see the messages on the other client if it's offline when the message is sent. I'm guessing the server may be imposing some crazy limit on mam size for myself-to-myself message store?.. Anyway, it doesn't seem to be the client's fault, because I get this across gajim, dino and cheogram. ↺

chud: did you check if mam was disabled for specific contacts in your account?

How?

cal0pteryx: I bet its all ejabberd servers

Ask in the support chat what the rules are for putting messages to self into MAM

This is terrible UX when you don't know if these messages will be lost, to the point where it should be considered a bug.

It's probably more of a server config bug

But hard to say if we don't know the exact reason

I just know I don't have this problem with any ejabberd or prosody instance I used

I think it is almost definitely a server issue, but I'm just saying clients should at least be able to indicate to the user somehow that hey, this server is f***d up.

Would be nice, I actually want that for some server stuff that we can discover

But I doubt this is one of them

Good day!

> 🔈 Follow Gajim: https://fosstodon.org/@gajim I think, that it would be productive to have a Libervia or Movim account, because Gajim is of XMPP.

Why not both?

why not bridge?

> cal0pteryx: I bet its all ejabberd servers I experienced the problem on debian.org, which is prosody 0.12.3. ↺

debacle, ^

here you can find the resource priority

> here you can find the resource priority Funny: I have four accounts online right now and can see this field only on one of them! That's why I didn't find it first. On that account, it is `0`. ↺

debacle, sounds weird, there is no code that hides this setting

What version of Gajim are you using?

debacle if you want to debug this it seems there is no way around getting server debug logs

that you dont see the priority setting i can not really explain, there is no code that hides that setting

maybe you run some modified Gajim version?

> maybe you run some modified Gajim version? It's the one I created for Debian experimental: `1.9.5+git20250111.b3e738d2-1` It is not heavily patched: https://salsa.debian.org/xmpp-team/gajim/-/tree/debian/experimental/debian/patches?ref_type=heads ↺

Oh, forget it! My fault!

I was confused by "Adjust to status".

I just can't switch it off.

No, it works, it just takes some time.

set it to 0

All good, all perfect, it's probably just my aging eyes.

and tell me if the problem occurs again

we definitly should remove this stuff

nobody needs this

Yes, done. Can't see before Monday, though ;-)

yeah np
