What Jabber client do you all use with Trisquel and Trisquel mini?
I want to use Jabber from my X60 with Trisquel Mini and since I am unable to install Gajim or Dino or Psi, I am wondering what you are all using.
With Gajim the package in the repos is way way too old, but installing the current version via their website here
https://gajim.org/downloads.php?lang=en#ubuntu
Tells me to do this
sudo wget -q https://gajim.org/gajim.key -O - | apt-key add -
which results in it saying only root can do that, so I type su and it asks for a password but I only know my own password and not roots password. Typing my own password does not work.
Trying to install Dino leads me to this page https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=network:messaging:xmpp:dino&package=dino
But trying to install from a .DEB file results in an error saying libgcrypt20 is an unsatisfiable dependency.
Next I tried to install Psi. The build of Psi on the repos is so out of date. Even though the current version of Psi is from 2017. I tried to get that from their website, but they only offer raw source code, or a windows installer. I'm not going to pretend I'm smart enough to make a working .DEB package out of source code.
So what do you all use?
Fix place for "sudo":
wget -q https://gajim.org/gajim.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Either Psi(Plus) or Pidgin is good.
Gajim is not recommended, because it doesn't support OTR encryption any more (new version). And likewise, Conversations on Android (F-Droid).
I'ts important to have OMEMO as a security feature, mainly for group
conversations.

We would like to appreciate the OMEMO feature, but we are definitely against Gajim's (and Conversations') malicious removal of OTR feature in their new versions. Promoting OMEMO doesn't necessarily require demoting OTR.
There isn't something that does both? A client that tries OMEMO first and falls back to OTR would be idea.
Pidgin on x86 PC and Pix-Art on F-Droid support both OMEMO and OTR, either natively (Pix-Art) or via free/libre plugins (Pidgin).
If you do not want to prefix every command requiring administrative privileges with "sudo ", you can get a root terminal with:
$ sudo -i
