thanks

I can't reproduce this bug at all with current unstable.
I've tried the irc servers listed in the bug report as well as my usual set
and have had no connection problems at all.
Are you using ssl encrypted connections (guess not from the ports used) or
any other non-standard features?
Cheers,

Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #249789

Hi,

I experience the same bug:

(process:4248): GLib-CRITICAL **: file giochannel.c: line 142
(g_io_error_get_from_g_error): assertion `err != NULL' failed
(process:4248): GLib-CRITICAL **: file giochannel.c: line 142
(g_io_error_get_from_g_error): assertion `err != NULL' fail

The normal console output is:
21:13:11 -!- Irssi: Looking up avalon.hoffentlich.net
21:13:11 -!- Irssi: Connecting to avalon.hoffentlich.net [217.160.165.165] port 3001
21:13:11 -!- Irssi: Connection to avalon.hoffentlich.net established
21:13:11 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to avalon.hoffentlich.net

I'm using an irc proxy with ssl support. This has worked before...

This appears to be only triggered by SSL encrypted IRC sessions, so NOTWARTY.

[David Pashley (david-davidpashley)]

I am going through the bugs on irssi-text and came across a similar
problem where you would get glib errors when connecting to an irc server
using ssl when the server didn't support it. Can you test to see if this
is indeed the case. Can you also try using the latest version of the
package available at:

http://www.davidpashley.com/debian/irssi-text/irssi-text_0.8.9-5_i386.deb

It is because that server doesn't support SSL on port 6667.

The server uses the 9999 port...with the same configuration, on a

Circumstances of the disconnect:

The connection is over ssl. It had been up and error free for several days. I was doing
nothing in particular at the time, just idling. The reconnect was successful, as you can
see.

Glib's error isn't particularly helpful because we don't know what the value of err is,
nor do we have a traceback. Is there any way the error could be modified to provide
more information?
