Gajim - 2025-08-04

I installed Gajim 2.3.3 on Kubuntu using Flatpak/Flathub. The main window does not display icons for formatting, sending files and encryption, but only a grey icon with an 'A'.

lovetox, FTR, it's also mandatory to do on SCRAM, and there you have no choice but to do it on the client side. I wonder which SASL mechanism does *not* use it.

Hello world

I have been toying with a bot that transcribes audio and uses whisper for that. It is working surprisingly well. To increase the user experience a bit, I would like to notify the user when the bot is actively transcribing by utilizing chatstates. The bot sends the chat states alright and gajim properly displays when the bot is composing - but the status seems to be reset after 10s or so.

I have not found that the chatstate ever expires and the xml log in gajim does not show the delivery of a new chat states. Is gajim somehow expiring the composing-state after a few seconds (it seems reasonable, I would just like to confirm that this is the case, potentially re-sending a composing chatstate until the message is fully assembled even on slow hardware)

Yes i think we have a expiry, but 10 seconds feels bit low, I have to check in the evening

Alternatively to a bot, there's still the unfinished plugin I had started ages ago, which runs locally :)

i think i might've misconfigured my server, but why does accounts -> vlad -> advanced -> synchronize history not work?

and which extension do i need to make messages deliver to all clients (including offline ones) in groups and 1:1 chats?

oh wait actually, yes, im pretty sure its either misconfigured or complains that i don't have any multi user chats

for xmpp.earth it works fine

This would be a question for a server support chat

vlad: if you run your own, check the project's website. Otherwise check your provider

> vlad: if you run your own, check the project's website. Otherwise check your provider ejabberd has practically non-existent docs, or at least none that actually helped me, if i knew what module/XEP the 'synchronize messages' in gajim depends on that'd help ↺

Message archive managment

https://docs.ejabberd.im/

I wouldn't call that non existing

Further they have a support chat

> Message archive managment but thats already configured, thats why im confused ↺

O, getting a 500 on gitlab

same

Already reported :)

What is the usual issue for 500s? Failed unattended updates?

No idea, I think no storage or something similar

But our admin is currently on holiday :/

How many weeks?

my sql was broken, now archiving settings work.

i go into accounts -> ... -> advanced -> archiving preferences, i add myself and have always selected, i hit save, it saves... i reopen it and my jid is gone, this works for other people's JIDs what am i supposed to throw in there? how exactly does it work?

This muc isn't down is it?

i don't know if this is a me-problem, but reacting to a message that was already reacted to by someone else in a PM doesn't do anything, after clicking on it for a few times it just deletes the other person's reactions and overwrites that with my own

this seems to happen in 2.2.0 and 2.3.2

yes vlad i can reproduce this, a bug when you react to your own messages

> yes vlad i can reproduce this, a bug when you react to your own messages i dont think it has anything to do with my own messages ↺

> i dont think it has anything to do with my own messages try reacting to this ↺

it just happens in 1:1 PMs

on other peoples messages too

it correctly counts it here

> i dont think it has anything to do with my own messages see, this works ↺

only PMs are affected, it doesn't matter whose message it is

i just tested with 1:1

also

ah

its when someone reacts to your message, and you then react to your own message also

then yours overwrite theirs, and then if you click again you delete yours

anyway i will look into it

thanks for the report

>> yes vlad i can reproduce this, a bug when you react to your own messages > i dont think it has anything to do with my own messages 🫡 ↺

> then yours overwrite theirs, and then if you click again you delete yours *you sometimes have to click multiple times to make it overwrite other peoples' reactions, then it's your reaction and you can delete that by clicking on it another time also this happens not only to my messages, go try to react to someone elses messages after it has been reacted to by whoever sent it (or send one and react yourself first, let someone else react afterwards) ↺

Hello, I used service discovery to register a nickename on ejabberd muc service

https://share.conversations.im/resoli/message/w8uexDxHFntlwjHO/Schermata_del_2025-08-04_22-04-46.png

But it seems there is no unregister function ✏

I am talking about this:

https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/configuration/modules/#mod_muc

> The MUC service allows any Jabber ID to register a nickname, so nobody else can use that nickname in any room in the MUC service. To register a nickname, open the Service Discovery in your XMPP client and register in the MUC service. > > It is also possible to register a nickname in a room, so nobody else can use that nickname in that room. If a nick is registered in the MUC service, that nick cannot be registered in any room, and vice versa: a nick that is registered in a room cannot be registered at the MUC service.

No mention about unregistration!

try asking in the ejabberd muc

> Alternatively to a bot, there's still the unfinished plugin I had started ages ago, which runs locally :) well, I am fine with having a bot. It runs locally as well.... in my basement ;)

> Yes i think we have a expiry, but 10 seconds feels bit low, I have to check in the evening I wonder, whether I should be resending the composing chatstate, if it takes longer.

I am not finding it in the xep, so I am hesitant
