Description Dainius Masiliūnas 2015-08-09 19:37:40 UTC
When Konversation is started during boot (using standard KDE session restore capability), it fails to connect to any servers giving an "unknown error", even after endlessly retrying.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Konversation
2. Configure servers
3. Reboot

Actual Results:  
Konversation reports loops such as this:
[Info] Looking for server sendak.freenode.net (port 6697)...
[Info] Server found, connecting...
[Error] Connection to server sendak.freenode.net (port 6697) lost: Unknown error.
[Info] Trying to reconnect to sendak.freenode.net (port 6697) in 10 seconds.

Or this:
[Info] Trying to reconnect to eu.globalgamers.net (port 6660) in 10 seconds.
[Info] Looking for server eu.globalgamers.net (port 6660)...
[Error] Connection to server eu.globalgamers.net (port 6660) lost: Unknown error.

Expected Results:  
Connecting should work.

If Konversation is manually turned off and then started again, it works fine every time until the next reboot.

This happens almost every boot, on both openSUSE 13.2 and openSUSE Tumbleweed, using Plasma 5.

Since it feels like a race condition, it might be relevant that my PC uses an SSD for /. Perhaps Konversation gets started before NetworkManager, or such?

Hi, I have the exact same problem, using opensuse 13.2 and kde4. I also have an SSD but I wait until network connectivity is up before I log in (otherwise systemd troubles). Then again wireless network only becomes user accessible after I put in my kwallet password, so it might be related after all.
Comment 2 Dainius Masiliūnas 2015-12-13 17:16:47 UTC
Hm, I use KWallet as well, but not for networking (in my case it's wired).

Also relevant to the bug is that sometimes only the first IRC server fails to connect, whereas the second one works fine almost all the time. It might be that the second server connection process starts just late enough for the network to be up at the time.
Comment 3 matthias sweertvaegher 2015-12-16 18:24:43 UTC
I forgot to mention this systemd delay is caused somehow when using autofs, see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=905639 for more info (should be fixed in patch of 4th dec). You may have a similar issue
Comment 4 Dainius Masiliūnas 2015-12-16 18:28:25 UTC
No, I don't use autofs. And my system has no freezes or delays during boot, it's quite speedy.
Comment 5 Fabian Vogt 2016-03-06 11:25:22 UTC
I can reproduce this bug here 100% of the time.
I'm using networkmanager and it takes a few seconds after login to get a connection,
but even after the connection is established, konversation failes to connect to the servers with an "Unknown error". The ownCloud sync client seems to have the same bug somehow.
