freenode: set enforce + telepathy-idle/empathy can lead to auth failure
Submitted by jerico
Assigned to Telepathy bugs list
Description
telepathy-idle: 0.1.10
Steps to reproduce:
/msg nickserv set enforce on set a false password in your account try to reconnect set the correct password in your account try to reconnect
This produces an "authentication failure" error.
The debug log says: ** (telepathy-idle:18465): DEBUG: _parse_and_forward_one: failed to parse ":anthony.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** No Ident response" ** (telepathy-idle:18465): DEBUG: _parse_message: parsing ":anthony.freenode.net 437 * jerico :Nick/channel is temporarily unavailable" ** (telepathy-idle:18465): DEBUG: _parse_message: parsing ":anthony.freenode.net 451 * :You have not registered"
Workaround:
- connect with a different unregistered nick
- /msg nickserv identify
<nick><correct-password> - /msg nickserv set enforce off
- log in through empathy/telepathy-idle with the correct password
- /msg nickserv set enforce on
- trying to re-connect through empathy/telepathy works now
