Gajim FAQ

General

  • Can Gajim print the Jabber XML it sends and receives?

    Yes, it can. In the Main Window do Actions → Advanced → XML Console. Check, Enable and enjoy!

  • Which XEPs does Gajim support?

    Please read XEP Support.

  • When will Gajim support Jingle/Audio/Video?

    It is available since 0.14 version.

    On GNU/Linux you need the packages python-farstream and gstreamer-plugins-bad.

    You can always check if your setup should work, if you go to Help → Features.

  • When will off the record encryption (OTR) be included in Gajim

    As of Gajim 0.15, there is a OTR-plugin, which is based on the Pure Python OTR

Configuration

  • How can I use advanced configuration editor?

    Please read Advanced Configuration Editor.

  • How do I setup an MSN/ICQ/AIM/Y!M/etc. transport in Gajim?

    Please see Transport Setup.

  • How do I use Gajim with my Google Talk Account?

    Please see Gajim Google Talk.

  • I want to be able to choose the language of Gajim

    For GNU/Linux systems prefix your Gajim invocation with 'LC_MESSAGES=YOUR_LOCALE' to something like 'LC_MESSAGES=de_DE gajim'. To find a suitable locale, issue 'locale -a'.

    For Windows you have to set an environmental variable called LANG to a value such as de_DE:

    • From the desktop, right click My Computer and click properties. In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.
    • In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button.
    • Finally, in the Environment Variables window, Click to add a local variable called LANG and set it to de_DE or the language of your choice.

    For more values see http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-7171/6md6poht0?a=view, on how to set (advanced stuff) see http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/W-P/win32/tutorials/article.php/c10849/

  • I want to use a spell-checker in one or more language.

    Please read SpellerHelp.

  • I want to know if SSL or TLS is activated

In your account line (in the roster), you can see a key : that means you use SSL or TLS. Gajim never connect without SSL/TLS without asking you.

Unintended behavior and errors

  • Ctrl-Tab acts in a unique way

    Ctrl-Tab is a shortcut key to go to next unread tab or next composing tab if none unread. You can disable "going to next composing" in the Advanced Configuration Editor.

  • I have a problem...

    Feel free to ask your question in gajim@conference.gajim.org!
