Description Manuel López-Ibáñez 2006-01-13 15:11:36 UTC 
Version:           0.10.3 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

Mandriva 2006 kopete-3.4.2-16mdk
bug 199139: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19939
Qt: 3.3.4
KDE: 3.4.2
Kopete: 0.10.3

I tried to configure kopete to connect to Freenode IRC network. The response
from the server is:

(01:52:17) #  Connecting to irc.debian.org...
(01:52:17) #  NOTICE from AUTH: *** Looking up your hostname...
(01:52:17) #  NOTICE from AUTH: *** Found your hostname, welcome back
(01:52:17) #  NOTICE from AUTH: *** Checking ident
(01:52:17) #  NOTICE from AUTH: *** No identd (auth) response
(01:52:38) #  You are now marked as Online.
(01:52:38) #  You are now marked as Offline.
(01:52:38) #  You are now marked as Offline.
(01:52:38) #  You are now marked as Offline.
(01:52:38) #  You are now marked as Offline.

If I try for a second time, the error is:

(01:54:56) #  Connecting to irc.debian.org...
(01:54:56) #  NOTICE from AUTH: *** Looking up your hostname...
(01:54:56) #  NOTICE from AUTH: *** Found your hostname, welcome back

Works fine here, but I have an identd server running. Identd is not something Kopete can or will ever do.

Can you try upgrading to Kopete 0.11?
Comment 2 Manuel López-Ibáñez 2006-01-14 15:45:15 UTC 
Unfortunately, that is not an option for me. Excuse me for that but I have only one computer available and that is the highest version of Kopete available on the stable repositories of Mandriva. Installing an unstable Kopete package would require to install the whole unstable KDE environment. I hope you can undestand my situation and sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for your interest on the problem.
Comment 3 Chi-Thanh Christopher Nguyen 2006-01-14 16:44:11 UTC 
Mandriva ships with pidentd, why don't you install that?
Comment 4 Jan Ritzerfeld 2006-01-14 22:25:58 UTC 
See Bug 102458 for the 461 error: set a real name.
Comment 5 Manuel López-Ibáñez 2006-01-15 00:18:49 UTC 
Yeah, that allows me to connect but it is kind of a workaround, isn't it?
Comment 6 Michel Hermier 2006-01-15 00:25:14 UTC 
No it's the server fault not allowing to have empty real name, while the RFC
say it can be any string.

I cannot reproduce and this is so old...
