Created attachment 21553 [details] gabble-log.txt mcepl_: why cannot empathy connect to IRC channel through jabber2irc gateway? When I try to enter telepathy%irc.freenode.net MUC on ǐrc.ceplovi.cz, nickserv asks me for identify password, but then no new tab opens. mcepl_: (I know, that empathy is multi-protocol, but I want to use the gateway because of server-side logging etc.) mcepl_: strange thing is that with another ejabberd server and another IRC server it works correctly (identical ejabberd) and it does work without a glitch when using gajim instead of empathy. Robot101: mcepl_: that's pretty weird... can you get a log? [ ... couple of minutes later ...] mcepl_> Robot101: gabble-log.txt -- look for kvm string [ ... the log is attached ...] Robot101: mcepl: oh! Robot101: mcepl: oh dear its this :) Robot101: mcepl: yeah, MUCs can change your name when you join the room Robot101: that's what's happening here Robot101: it confuses us :( mcepl: should I file a bug? Robot101: yeah I might take a look at it later :) mcepl: component telepathy-gabble? Robot101: yeah
This is hopefully fixed by Will's changes in telepathy-gabble 0.7.20.
Matěj, could you see if this is fixed with telepathy-gabble >=0.7.20? I'm pretty sure it should be.
Unfortunately, none of my Jabber accounts get authorized in Empathy (although they work perfectly well with other clients and same passwords), so I cannot test it for you. Anyway, I rather use gajim anyway, because it is real XMPP client. Will try sometime later with empathy when I am actually able to login to my accounts.
Ouch. And thanks to our great¹ error reporting, you can't tell why they can't connect. As and when you get a chance, a bug with the debug output of Gabble failing to connect would be really helpful. Sorry you've had such a bad experience of Gabble... ¹ n.b. may not be great :(
filed a bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20982
Matej, There is a patch available for the bug that was preventing you from connecting. Perhaps you could try to reproduce this bug now?
Yes, it has been fixed, and Empathy as whole seems much better ... I would almost be willing to say (with a little bribery) that it is usable :).
