Description Milan Bouchet-Valat 2010-12-06 02:47:44 UTC
Every time I start Empathy and it connects to irc.ubuntu.com, I get a chat
window from NickServ telling me:
> NickServ: This nickname is registered. Please choose a different
> nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.
> NickServ: You are now identified for milanbv.

It seems Telepathy is not authenticating fast enough for the server. I don't know how this works, but maybe there's a way to send the password at the same time as you ask for a nickname, so that we don't get this useless and annoying dialog. (Empathy devs told me this is a problem with Telepathy rather than their client.)

Or it that a bug in the server?


I'm using telepathy-idle 0.1.6-1 on Ubuntu 10.10.

Servers that implement nickserv allow you to authenticate directly with your nickserver passwrod, in empathy simply put your nickserv password in the password field and this problem goes away

That's what I'm doing. I'm not entering my password manually at all. The problem is that it triggers these "error" messages from the server, when it should be silent.
