Gajim - 2025-04-01

anyone else saying the latest gajim is running slow?

2.0.4

I think I started noticing it on a previous version.

using flatpak

whats the status of openpgp plugin in gajim ?

> anyone else saying the latest gajim is running slow? yes my flatpak version is running slow.. it cant cope up with my typing speed.. ↺

> yes my flatpak version is running slow.. it cant cope up with my typing speed.. did you find an issue created for it? I did not see one. ↺

nope.. it thought I am the only one facing it lol

it started with 2.0.1 i guess..

other apps on my pc including other flatpaks are working good.

what distro you using?

i am using it in whonix workstation

oh i c

gajim suppossed to use over half GB of memory?

cpu almost 20%?

I dont know but I am using with 6GB+ memory.. previous version didnt have this type of issue..

cpu is 20%

I think we found the issue lol

this was from windows.https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/11735

cpu skyrockets when typing

and other operations it seems

switching channels etc.

hmm.. then I will allocate more cpu for workstation lets see what happens..

seems to slow down over time the longer it is open.

after closing and coming back it is not as bad right now.

To find the underlying issue, you would need to supply logs (and probably a performance profile)

It's not common to have these performance issues

Is there a way to get Gajim to retry joining MUCs if they fail to connect right away or my machine comes back from standby?

No. They should not fail.

There is no reason to believe that retrying fixes the error

If you see this error consistently we should investigate them

Restarting gajim is maybe faster depending on how many chats failed to join

Sorry for the delayed reply.

The error I am experiencing is the orange thunderbolt icon with MUCs + Biboumi-bridge rooms.

Every time I move my laptop or resume state, everything is disconnected & I have to manually rejoin everything.

I could restart Gajim, but something about that UX seems amiss

Bridges are tricky and especially IRC, but I can try to reproduce it

And you are saying it's on all resumes ? Or only sometime

I don’t want to say 100% of the time, but I can’t recall a time in recent memory where switching networks worked.

I had to write a `systemd` unit to restart Biboumi on IP change (ddns), & that part works.

Reconnecting, so long as not being banned by DroneBL (*grumble*), always pops up write away & my messages get synced since Biboumi gets reconnected fine.

Gajim gracefully handles this reconnect too… but when my own device switches IPs or suspends, then on reconnect Gajim doesn’t automatically rejoin these rooms.

please enable debug logging, and send me a log when this happens, the log should start when connected, and should end when it fails to reconnect

> There is no reason to believe that retrying fixes the error Isn't it more often the case that a retry *will* help? Like muc server rebooting, network hiccup or whatever is common an exponential back off for rejoining MUCs is probably the right thing to do? ↺

depends on the error, i dont know the error, so i cannot say if this would be a good thing or not

thats the problem in a federated space, all kind of problems can happen, i rather have users report a problem, then to mask it with retrys ✏

but its the same discussion we often run into

e.g. retrying on connection errors

but yeah there are definitly errors on which we could retry, like remote host not available or something like that

others like "you are not allowed to connect to this remote" not so much
