Gajim - 2025-03-25

> 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 I have deleted that channel from all of the accounts, on all of the clients, and I'm still getting the same error. Is there a config file or some such on my desktop client that I could edit to remove it from gajim? ↺

Yes remove the cache folder in appdata/gajim

Does that apply to the portable version too? ✏

Does that apply to the portable version too? That's what I used and I can't find a cache folder. ✏

Hi. I recently upated Gajim to 2.0.3, and I have 2 questions. 1. Why did you change X class? it was "Gajim" and now "gajim" it broke my class rules on i3. No big deal, but a bit annoying. And 2. Is it your end or GTK update that broke my system gtk theme? Now I have to use either light or dark mode that comes with gajim, "system" does not respect my global theme.

Actually a 3rd question. It looks like the spell-checking is absent now too.

Nvm the 3rd, I see there's a new dep. for it. I'll install it

dwlr, make sure you have xdg-desktop-portal running and configured by your DE, that’s where GTK is getting the info on whether the system is light or dark.

You can use door-knocker to check which portals are exposed by your DE.

I don't mean if it's light or dark, I had a custom color scheme. I know GTK is hostile to that, but it used to work on gajim, and now it does not. Since other programs still use my custom theme I assume this is not my system GTK updating that caused this but gajim update.

How did you configure your color scheme? As a GTK3 theme or also as a GTK4 theme?

Portals now allow you to define your “accent color”, it’s respected by Gajim here.

I am not sure how to check if my theme is compatible with GTK4. `gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme` returns the name of my theme. I guess I'll look into it

I'm also noticing some UI bugs now. Like bad text wrapping and sometimes the input bar grows 3x the size after I send the message

dwlr, you might be interested in the CSS documentation if you want to write a theme: https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/css-overview.html

Does gajim uses libadwaita? I don't see it in rundeps on the gitlab, but want to be sure. ✏

No it doesn’t.

Thanks

I'm trying out 2.x on my phone and it is usable (I'm not expecting it to start supporting mobile, I just thought it was neat)

huhu very cool

dwlr, we did not change any x class intentionally, not sure where it would previously take this value, but it probably changed in Gtk4

makes sense

is there a way to export and import workspace organizations across gajim installations?

izder456: nope

i'm wondering if a simple scp of whatever gajim stores in ~/.config and/or ~/.local/share would do, or is that dumb?

i just want to sync my workspace layout as i recently joined a bunch of groups. perhaps i should roll up my sleeves and re-do it myself and stop being a lazy sysadmin

You can't do that as soon as omemo is involved

right, that makes sense.

i'll just re-do it all. thanks cal0pteryx

Other than that, it might be possible

i'd rather not break omemo iwl

I'm curious if that could be a feature in the future. like a json export of the layout of your workspaces for easy import when you change machines or whatever.

its a niche, but probably useful thing to have

i'm still on 1.8.4 atm as i run 7.6-stable openbsd, (though 7.7 should have whatever the latest in the 2.0 branch has out by the time that ports tree gets frozen)

i love gajim. its such a nice client

> You can't do that as soon as omemo is involved cal0pteryx, I've done that before, though I make sure to delete the omemo databases and change the resource ID. Is that not enough? ↺

Masked Witch: might be, if you don't experience issues, then it should be fine

izder456, the workspace layout is stored in the settings.sql db, in a row thats called workspaces

its json, you can simply query the json string, and insert it into another db

lovetox: thanks! i'll give that a go!

Hey, really basic question maybe but I can't find anymore where to make Gajim just close when I want to close it, even if I have "unread messages", I don't want this popup message, did someone know?

I'm under gajim 2.0.4, Arch Linux, Sway When right clicking on the Gajim icon tray, a small menu appears, but nothing in it, like so :

Codimp, please open an issue, there once was a setting for this but it got lost

or maybe we remove this question altogether

yeah, moaaaar issues \o/

thanks lovetox,
