Gajim not working on Whonix-Workstation-17

Hello,

I followed the instruction to install Gajim on a cloned template Whonix-Workstation-17-Gajim. Then I created an AppVM anon-whonix-gajim based on that template.

Reference: Instant Messenger Chat

When trying to start Gajim I receive an error on GUI and through CLI. The Gajim icon is shown but the chat window does not appear. It does also not load when clicking on Start Chat...

Versions:

  • GTK Version: 3.24.38
  • PyGObject Version: 3.42.2
  • GLib Version : 2.74.4
  • python-nbxmpp Version: 4.2.2
  • Gajim Version: 1.7.3

On the GUI:

Does anyone also face the issue and can support to resolve it?

Easy to figure out using search engines as per…?

Please excuse me and I am sorry for the inconvenience. I skipped the search as I wrongly assumed that this issue is to specific. I will consider this for my next requests. Thank you for your support. The issue is fixed with the following installation in the Whonix-Workstation-17 template.

sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme
