lolhdhxhchc: please stop that

Hello there and thank you for your development of Gajim, the chat messenger. I have upgraded Debian to new version and now I can't see my icons on the right side. For example, I don't see clearly the icons, they are kind of missing.

https://files.xmpp.club:5281/file_share/068add75-7131-7410-9204-ef784814b86b/2025-08-26_18-48.png

and pasting doesn't work anymore. I wonder why. Is there anybody who can help me with icons and pasting the file?

Louis2, you mean drag and drop a file?

icons will be fixed with the next release

> Louis2, you mean drag and drop a file? No, I mean when I copy the picture, let's say in another program by using copy and then pasting it. ↺

> icons will be fixed with the next release Okay, but is there anything like I can do myself? I am not using a Gajim from the repository. I am using it from the Debian distribution. ↺

what version of Gajim are you using?

> what version of Gajim are you using? 2.1.1 (Unix/Linux) ↺

I'm just using official version from Debian 13, I don't know how can I install any other version, I would install if I know how.

you can install Gajim from flathub

https://flathub.org/apps/org.gajim.Gajim

then the drag&drop should be fixed, and probably also the icon problems

`flatpak install flathub org.gajim.Gajim` ✏

in ur terminal after u complete the setup process in ur terminal

with the command line

(if you just want to install it for you and not system wide, add `--user` to the command)

> are you using gajim to manage your gold mine? Yes ↺

> in ur terminal after u complete the setup process in ur terminal Thank you, it takes a long time. I would be rather happy if I can install it from source myself and run it from the source directory. ↺

no, dont do that, this will lead to dependency problems

flatpak is the way to go

> flatpak is the way to go will follow this advice, I will try. ↺

> `flatpak install flathub org.gajim.Gajim` Still downloading on 50 mbit/s, it is 41% -- that is really slow ↺

Flatpak is slow for me too, on any connection

And it's always been like that. They don't care.

chud, so step up and sponsor them some bandwidth

I think red hat has more resources than me

Flatpak version did not recognize my old accounts, just one, others are forgotten or disappeared, and my spaces... lost

Louis2 Don't know, if that fits your needs and use cases: I run Debian testing on my private computer with the latest Gajim from Debian experimental (2.3.4-1), and Debian stable on my work computer with the Gajim version that comes with stable (2.1.1-2). Works well for me. Flatpak is not my cup of tea. ✏

Louis2: you've migrated your old repo Gajim config?

> Louis2: you've migrated your old repo Gajim config? That wasn't given to me to do. ↺

and history lost

disaster to me

> I am just following advice. Now, because database was upgraded, I can't go back. But also cannot use plugins. No backup? Maybe somewhere? At least an older one? ↺

Louis2: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/blob/master/flatpak/README.md#migrate-your-data

I think this should go to the FAQ :)

mesonium I.e. the data of Louis2 is not lost, but only not copied to the new place? Good for them!

> Now, because database was upgraded, I can't go back. Louis2: no worries, Gajim always makes a backup before upgrading the database.

Maybe the Flatpak should offer a Welcome Screen with explanations how to migrate old data?

> mesonium I.e. the data of Louis2 is not lost, but only not copied to the new place? Good for them! Thanks, I got it ↺

The chat line (entry box) is now just one line, and i needed it larger, not narrower, is there any way to enlarge it?

hitting the ENTER key doesnt work for you?

or rather SHIFT+ENTER

Good to know, thanks lovetox

Shift + Enter is pretty common among all apps
