Looking for Gajim support for Win client just started getting program startup error. No longer see accounts and history. Is this the right place to ask?

It's 1.8.2. I downloaded latest but unclear if installing it will overwrite existing files (acct info and messages)

afterlif0189: your settings will be migrated when updating Gajim

Update successful and it imported the messages but still gave the error with traceback. ☹️

can you post the errro?

Image isn't ideal but using mobile and win separate

afterlif0189: looks like you added the group chat mentioned in that log to your contact list. Remove that contact using the client you added it with, then it should be fine

going from gajim 1.9.5 to 2.0.3 (debian), I notice that gajim is now very sluggish and uses 20% CPU while idle, going up to 100% once I start to interact with the window.

this might also have been 2.0.2 to 2.0.3, there were two days between the upgrades and I'm not absolutely sure whether 2.0.2 exhibited this already or not

is there any kind of diagnostics I can provide?

oh I see gajim 2.0.4 available in debian, so I'll try that now first.

jonas’: If you still have it with 2.0.4 ping me the we can think about how to diagnose this

will keep an eye on it.

mesonium: did you read the gtk4 issue about events? Don't trust any motion events with critical things, seems to be a mess

lovetox, so *far* it seems better, but I also think it wasn't gajim at all. I also saw ibus-daemon (which seems related to keyboard input) going haywire, and restarting that one seems to have had a positive effect on gajim, too.

I'll let you know if the situation changes back for worse and restarting ibus-daemon does not help.

lovetox: hu, what have we discovered, seems like no one has given it a deeper thought yet.

if you do anything on motion events, its usually a source of bugs

you basically have to handle every case, multiple leave, multiple enter, no enter, no leave, etc...

True, that can quickly become quiet complex

So gajim already supports gpg decryption via plugin, so I was wondering if there is any guides on making a plugin. My idea is to integrate pass into gajim via an additional configuration option to specify the pass path and potentially a password-store path if its not ~/.password-store, then use the GPG key which is configured for the account already and attempt to decrypt the pass (as simple as `gpg --decrypt $path | head -n1` replacing $path with the password store path + pass path) and then use this for auth

I am going to say the forbidden and say "this should be easy to implement"

no we will not support password plugins

but you can write a backend for https://github.com/jaraco/keyring

then it will just work with Gajim

There is already one for pass https://github.com/nazarewk/keyring_pass

oh wow

oki cool

brief search didnt show anything thanks hannibal
