Gajim - 2025-07-22

Hi, I’d like to contribute a patch to guard against None in generate_avatar_letter. Please grant me fork/branch rights. This causes an error which crashes gajim. My github is -> https://github.com/saksham-personal

Yes but also there it needs to be granted

I check later

f(x)u: done

https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/merge_requests/1159 lovetox pls review

f(x)u: is there a more complete traceback? Everytime I saw this traceback, there were other issues happening before (e.g. a group chat added to the roster, rendering Gajim broken)

Hey, I used gajim on NixOS natively with v2.2.0. I saw that 2.3.3 came with a ui overhaul and wanted to try that through Flatpak. Im getting an issue that some icons are missing, does anyne know why that is? A friend of mine also reported having this issue on MacOS. Thanks :)

Really you get this on flatpak install?

Yep ^^" Im not very familiar with flatpaks but It seems it can access the usual icons: ``` λ flatpak run --command=sh org.gajim.Gajim [📦 org.gajim.Gajim ~]$ ls /usr/share/icons/ Adwaita hicolor ``` ✏

huuuh interesting, So once I change my gtk theme to Adwaita this works, but then my entire desktop is Adwaita... So im guessing this means Gajim uses some Icon types that Papirus-Dark doesnt include? ``` iconTheme = { - name = "Papirus-Dark"; - package = pkgs.papirus-icon-theme; + name = "Adwaita"; + package = pkgs.adwaita-icon-theme; }; ``` ✏

thing is, LibAdwaita shouldn't use the system icon theme by default and yes, Adwaita uses a nonstandard set of icons because again, it is intended that it ships it's own icons

It is indeed interesting, because I also thought that was the intent of shipping everything in a flatpak. But anyways after some trying out I can keep my papirus theme and add the Adwaita theme globally: ```diff + environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ + adwaita-icon-theme # extra fallback theme + ]; ``` No idea why it seems to use my Host icon packs but everything works well now so thanks for guiding me in the right direction :)

This happened whenever an user has no Name (idk how thats possible), but this caused a popup error again and again. Ideally, no existing user should have the attribute 'name' to be None.

f(x)u: if you can reproduce it there should be a longer traceback or?

Ah you posted it already

Hi, actually the pipeline failed due to some static checkers on my earlier merge request, I have made a new merge request at https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/merge_requests/1160 Please verify and decline the earlier merge request which resulted in pipeline fail probably due to static checks.

f(x)u, from where did you install this Gajim version?

the code in your traceback does not match with the Gajim Version

get_muc_surface() does not exist in Gajims codebase since a year

huh

> f(x)u, from where did you install this Gajim version? flatpak

further the Gajim version 2.3.2 it prints, and nbxmpp 4.5.4 cannot be correct, as Gajim 2.3 needs nbxmpp > 6.2

i highly doubt thats flatpak ..

looks like a Gajim Gtk3 version, it even says in the version Gtk 3

either way, all the code in the traceback is now different, i checked all calls to generate_avatar_letter() and i dont see how None can be ever passed to this method

btw, you dont need to create a new MR everytime you change something on your branch

a MR is the difference between the original repo and yours

you can just push changes to your fork, and they will automatically show up in the MR

(you can use git commit --amend and git push --force)

Thank you, it is my first time contributing to the project.

yeah so, first find out why your installation runs 2024 code, maybe check if its really a flatpak install and if try to reinstall

if you can produce the error on the newest Gajim version, reopen the merge requests

okayy : )

fix emoji

send help

> fix emoji can you be any more specific as to what your issue is? ↺

The icon in the systray no longer flashes for personal messages. Is this a bug? I am using the Windows 2.3.3 version.

What does it mean if i have a yellow warning sign next to my message saying "service-unavailable"?
