Gajim - 2025-07-14

> normally i use note to self to transfer info from my desktop to my phone or the other way around, but if you dont have a smartphone or any device where you transfer these data to, why use Gajim as a note taking app? Cloud storage ↺

chud: but it is not. Messages encrypted with omemo can not be decrypted later again. So it's undecryptable garbage on the server from the second you press send

Oh, I thought you were talking about unencrypted or pgp encrypted.

Although even then, in case with my server at least, my messages to myself are not synchronized for whatever mysterious reason...

FYI: https://dev.gajim.org gives error 500

Just here to say congrats for the 2.3 series! Using it on Windows and it fixes dead keys issue that was preventing me to use my layout of choice (ergol.org for the curious). Two things that are bothering me though: - the render quality when I change screen, the font is a bit blurry on my other screen (fine on the main) - all the windows are created on the main screen, even when the main window is on the other screen ✏

Geobomatic: hi, for 2. we have a issue Tracking it. For 1. Please open one when our gitlab is up again

Hi, just updated to 2.3.2 on Manjaro, and the tray icon is missing. I'm getting : > 2025-07-14 13:47:40 (E) gajim.c.tray.linux | g-dbus-error-quark: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name is not activatable (2) DE is openbox. Is this a known issue ?

hi, Theres 2.3.3 already?

Are there any Gajim support channels?

@stefan: Yes, but it's in testing on arch/manjaro. Giving a test to the flatpak version right now.

> Are there any Gajim support channels? Anyways, I am unable to figure out how to use Gajim's implementation of XEP-0373 (New implementation of OpenPGP), I cannot find any way to manage keys, unlike when using XEP-0027 (Older implementation of PGP). Version of Gajim: 2.3.2 (Unix/Linux) ↺

What do you want to manage?

> What do you want to manage? I want to manage PGP keys for encryption in the Gajim client according to the XEP-0373 implementation, I want to use the "OpenPGP" plugin that allows usage of "OpenPGP" encryption in the Gajim client. ↺

Ok I'm guessing you want to use an existing key of your own?

> Ok I'm guessing you want to use an existing key of your own? Yes, as a test in my "Note for myself" channel. ✏ ↺

We don't support that, gajim creates its own key

what

Why was it made that way? It just does not make sense to me.

It does to people not interested in creating PGP keys

Also from a application point of view I don't want to ask the user for their PGP password

Alright, makes complete sense now, I forgot that I am the weird one.

I do not see where I can manage OpenPGP keys though, only OMEMO.

You open a chat select openpgp then click the shield icon

But depending on how you installed the plugin the dialog might be broken

> You open a chat select openpgp then click the shield icon There have to be other participants in the room, right? ↺

You will only see keys published from other people

It works exactly like omemo

> But depending on how you installed the plugin the dialog might be broken I originally installed it when I first installed Gajim via the plugin manager, then I installed it from the github mirror of gajim-plugins, both have displayed nothing other than the window and some minor details. ↺

Not sure what you expect it is the same key dialog as with omemo

There is nothing to configure except trusting another device

> Not sure what you expect it is the same key dialog as with omemo Alright, the plugin is broken for me, I will try cloning it from the Gitlab repo once it is available. It just shows the dialogue window of PGP (XEP-0027), but without any managing elements. ↺

I can take a look later

hello

the gajim logo/icon doesn't show when minimised to the panel/launcher on rpi os

this is v1.7.3

1.7.3 is more than 2 years old, update it to see if it solve the issue

Kinda based

> 1.7.3 is more than 2 years old, update it to see if it solve the issue it's the latest version in my package repos

i guess i'll get the flatpak

Gitlab down?

yes

Polarity, did you try sending a message? This generates the key and then you maybe see the options you want

> Polarity, did you try sending a message? This generates the key and then you maybe see the options you want Sending an unencrypted message or trying sending an OpenPGP message? I have tried both, attempting to send an OpenPGP message resulted in a "No trusted keys found" popup. ↺

What again was the way to complete a user name in a group chat now? It used to be TAB, but now it is ...?

> What again was the way to complete a user name in a group chat now? It used to be TAB, but now it is ...? I just tried using TAB, it works for me on Gajim. ✏ ↺

typing @ debacle

> What again was the way to complete a user name in a group chat now? It used to be TAB, but now it is ...? I just tried using TAB after writing "@", it works for me on Gajim. ✏ ↺

Polarity, yeah and if you click the shield icon it opens a small dialog which says "Public Keys for JID"

Thanks lovetox! I already knew this but forgot :-( In fact `@` is a very good choice, IMHO!

> Polarity, yeah and if you click the shield icon it opens a small dialog which says "Public Keys for JID" But it does not show any keys. Perhaps it will work if I actually message someone. ↺

yes you need to do that with a contact who has keys published

as you would with omemo

here you can add my test acc if you want
