Re: [SOLVED] gajim wont launch

Any single testing repositories enabled instead of all testing repositories? Testing's python is at 3.8 gajim did receive a rebuild but that would mandate community-testing as well. I suggest you disable all of them and downgrade to a stable set with

sudo pacman -Syyuu

or enabling all of them.

Re: [SOLVED] gajim wont launch

thanks V1del !
i disabled community-testing in /etc/pacman.conf and ran

sudo pacman -Syyuu

then rebooted, it works now
