Description bayo.fr 2010-07-25 12:37:43 UTC

Hi, i come from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623535
Sure i dont know this software architecture, then sorry if i am at the wrong place.

Empathy use IRC authentication feature (with NickServ?). Sometime somebody
already use our nickname, or a ghost of ourself is online (waiting for
timeout).

NickServ allow to kick ghost/user, then empathy should:

*join IRC with a random available nickname
*use NickServ to kick the ghost with our user/password
*move to the final nickname
*and use NickServ authication

ATM Empathy only return an error message like "nickname already used". And we
must wait the ghost timeout. It is a big problem especially when we are using
bad connexion like wifi...

Thanks.
