xchat-gnome auto-joins channels before identifying with nickserv

[Greg Bair]

Binary package hint: xchat-gnome

When starting xchat-gnome, if the user has a nickserv password saved, the program autojoins channels before identifying the username.

Example:

-NickServ- This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.
 Found your IP: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
 Unknown MODE flag
 #python :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
-NickServ- You are now identified for pionar.

It should message nickserv before trying to join channels.

We dont install xchat-gnome by default nor do I see it listed in the Software Center "Featured Apps"..
Am I missing something here, any reason this was included as a papercut?

[Chris Wilson (notgary-deactivatedaccount)]

It might be that I've marked the wrong application here, but whatever it is that signs the user into IRC in Empathy is where the problem lies.

[Vish (vish)]

Nah, Greg Bair has filed this bug for xchat-gnome, the papercuts task has been later recently. Closing task

If the same is also noticeable with empathy, we need to file a separate bug in telepathy-idle.

Thanks for finding the upstream bug.
