Description Sean McNamara 2006-12-16 03:02:44 UTC
Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30) 
OS:                Linux

I receive the above dialog repeatedly in Konversation 1.0.1 (KDE 3.5.5-0.2-fc6) when I connect to an SSL irc server (example: ircs.oftc.net:9999) and click the "Details" button on the SSL Warning dialog. In fact, I can't show you a screenshot of the SSL Warning dialog; I got it exactly once. When I restart Konvi I get the same infinite loop of dialogs (they pop up over and over again no matter how they're closed.) Ending the Konvi process is the only way out.

I edited konversationrc to remove the SSL server and Konversation works normally.

I talked to Sho_ and psn on IRC and they said this is most likely a kssl bug but they'd look at whether it is or not after the holidays. This may also be an issue with the kssl packaged by my distro, Fedora Core 6 w/ all in-version updates (x86_64).

Attaching the reporter's shot so we don't lose it.

having the same problem.

Comment 3 Sean McNamara 2006-12-23 14:50:52 UTC
I know I'm the poster, but I was unable to reproduce this issue on my desktop system. I get different warnings from kssl when I change the port from 6697 to 9999 (the alternate port advertised by OFTC on their main website), but I can't get it to loop forever like it did before.

vk4rms:~ $ konversation -v

I am using OpenSUSE 10.2 i686 without any custom compiles of KDE components or X.

I can reproduce this here, on any port.

Using the latest svn konversation

Comment 6 Eike Hein 2008-01-28 14:55:17 UTC
Unfortunately I still can't reproduce this - opening the SSL details dialog works as expected (along with the "Certificate signing authority is unknown or invalid." as certificate state warning on ircs.oftc.net:9999), and after closing it it it stays closed as it should.
Comment 7 3Yi-ZI_S+ 2008-01-28 15:12:59 UTC
A Note for reproducing this bug:
Here it happens when it popped up while I am away
from the computer and stays open for quite a while
before I am back and try to close it.
Comment 8 Eike Hein 2008-01-28 15:23:12 UTC
Fixed.

SVN commit 767672 by hein:

Argh - stupid, stupid, stupid. Don't endlessly show the SSL connection
info dialog by allowing the user to pick "Show Details" as his future
permanent dialog choice. While we're at it, set the KMessageBox:Dange-
rous flag so KMessageBox would auto-focus "Cancel" if kdelibs weren't
broken (fixed in KDE 4). cartman, what were you smoking? :-P
Comment 9 Eike Hein 2008-01-28 15:25:10 UTC
Note for 1.0.1 users affected by this: Open your config file (~/.kde/share/config/konversationrc) and remove the "SslInvalidHost=yes" and/or "SslCertificateNotAuthentic=yes" line(s). This will make the multiple choice dialog appear again the next time around, and this time do not check "Do not ask again" before clicking "Details". The SVN code now no longer allows creating that situation and also fixes the problem for existing installs.
