xchat-gnome doesn't autojoin channels

[Jeff Bailey]

When I connect to an IRC server, xchat-gnome doesn't connect to the channels in that server's list automatically. This appears to be new behaviour as on 0.9-0ubuntu1.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

That works fine for me. What is the value of J= for that server to ~/.xchat2/servlist_.conf?

[Jeff Bailey (jbailey)]

J=#chug,#uu,#sysutils,#grub,#debian-boot,#classpath,#bzr,#ubuntu-ports,#mlug

And with cat -A to make sure there's no specials in there:

N=00Home Servers$
I=jb-home$
U=jbailey$
R=Jeff Bailey$
P=$
J=#chug,#uu,#sysutils,#grub,#debian-boot,#classpath,#bzr,#ubuntu-ports,#mlug$
E=UTF-8 (Unicode)$
F=1$
D=0$
S=chat.freenode.net$

(I removed the B= line, it appears to be my nickserv password)

Is is working with xchat-gtk ?

[Jeff Bailey (jbailey)]

I don't see a package in Ubuntu called `xchat-gtk'. However, if I install xchat 2.6.1-0ubuntu1, it works correctly in that package.

Tks,
Jeff Bailey

[Guillaume Desmottes (cassidy)]

Yes it's that package.

Very strange this bug. Could you send us your ~/.xchat2/servlist_.conf please ?
(change your confidential infos of course)

[Jeff Bailey (jbailey)]

My servlist_.conf contains a large amount of information that I consider confidential right now. I will try to create a minimal one that causes the failure and get back to you.

(The confidential information includes hidden IRC servers, channels, channel passwords, and nickserv passwords)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Jeff, don't bother, it's easy to reproduce ... it happens when you don't autoconnect a server on startup but connect to it with the menu item after startup

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I've forwarded that upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328145

[Guillaume Desmottes (cassidy)]

Should be fixed in upstream now.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Fixed with that upload:

 xchat-gnome (0.9-0ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/01_chans_autoconnect.patch:
     - patch from the CVS, fix the chans autoconnection (Ubuntu: #29288)
   * debian/patches/02_lpi.patch,
     debian/patches/03_autoconf.patch:
     - changes for launchpad integration

[Jane Silber (silbs)]

I still see this behaviour (i.e., auto-join not working) in Dapper as of 7 March 2006.

[Jeff Bailey (jbailey)]

Jane, I think you're seeing Bug #29856 rather than this one.
