Gajim - 2025-09-22

gajim freezes opening any sub window now, start a chat, chat details, settings etc

flatpak 2.3.5

(froze opening the about window too lol) ✏

downgrading nvidia fixed it

classic

> Yes Gajim does not support channel binding Do you plan to add channel binding support ? ↺

> downgrading nvidia fixed it Latest nvidia is working perfectly here (and previuous versions as well) ↺

Sounds like a packaging issue on your system. Also, note that on each nvidia update you have to run `flatpak update` so that the flatpak nvidia libraries match the system ones

Otherwise you are going to have trouble on many apps

> Sounds like a packaging issue on your system. Also, note that on each nvidia update you have to run `flatpak update` so that the flatpak nvidia libraries match the system ones flatpak was updated we checked tht first ↺

idk ab the rest cc gyatt

yeah downgrading to nvidia 570 open fixed it

is their a way to remove this blue box everytime i log in i see it and its annoying ?

Omni rizzler: blue box?

Marc: there is a bug in pygobject that prevents us from using it

> Omni rizzler: blue box? this ↺

That's the groupchat subject

Check prefernces I think you can disable it

lovetox: There is a ticket about pygobject bug?

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobject/-/issues/603

lovetox: Thanks, I had forgotten this one!

Why can't I change the window background via a theme file, e.g. ``` :root { --view-bg-color: rgb(240, 240, 220) !important; } ``` or alternatively ``` .mainwindow-grid { background: rgb(240, 240, 220) !important; } .chatlist-row, .search-view, .file-transfer, .preview-stack > box { background-color: rgb(240, 240, 220) !important; } ```

Because `libadwaita` apps are specifically made to be unthemeable

alexkurisu: Gajim uses plenty of CSS to style its UI. If you write your own CSS, you can do many things

Internally, yes, but external themes purposefully broken

> Because `libadwaita` apps are specifically made to be unthemeable That's not an answer to why these CSS rules don't work though. Did you try them using GTK inspector, Anon Ymous ? I think `important` flags don't work in GTK's CSS

> downgrading nvidia fixed it this was one of the rare cases with nvidia involved, where i actually thought for a moment that it isn't nvidia's fault ↺

> it is a bit weird to define dev dependencies as an "extra" I think, but gajim is not published to PyPI and there is no standard way of defining "dev dependencies" anyway, so this works I guess i wold stay very far away from pypi, half of the things there are malware, the other half is broken, its very messy, and pip can't even search packages ↺

""searching for packages is deprecated, go blindly install things or open a web browser"" ✏

who could be this deranged?

also some people like putting the entire text of a license into the license identifier for some reason

I use a tiling window manager so resizing is inherent. This was never a problem with gtk2 or qt.

I'll probably get banned for saying that as soon as a admin sees it, but it's truly terrifying the active and willful destruction of the linux desktop over the last 15 years. Along with the hubris to call anyone who thinks differently from the nu gnome way of thinking is just dumb gnome knows what's best.

My computer is less functional that it was in 2004.
