Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6) OS: Linux I am using dialup I use pppd, so whenever the connect drops it dials right back. Was in konversation all was normal. I have my nicks setup as jorgp,jorgp2,jorgp3,jorgp4 logged in as jorgp when connection dropped and it dialed back, I got 2+ pages of [08:39 pm] *** You are now known as jorgp. [08:39 pm] *** You are now known as jorgp. [08:39 pm] *** You are now known as jorgp. [08:39 pm] *** You are now known as jorgp. [08:39 pm] *** You are now known as jorgp.

[08:39 pm] *** You are now known as jorgp. and the loop continued until I clicked on the nick box to change nick to jorgp2, then all was fine again. on the irc.kde.org channel I got this: [08:39 pm] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying jorgp. [08:39 pm] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying jorgp. [08:39 pm] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying jorgp. [08:39 pm] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying jorgp.

[08:39 pm] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying jorgp. [08:39 pm] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying jorgp. which it clearly is not trying my alt nicks.
I've been unable to reproduce this...
Thank you for your bug report. You have not provided enough information for us to be able to reproduce the bug. Please provide a detailed account of the steps required to trigger and reproduce the bug. Without this information, we will not be able to reproduce, identify and fix the bug. Cvs has changed quite a lot in the last few weeks - chances are this has been fixed. Please reopen if needed.
Reopened to draw attention, but go ahead and re-close if desired. Exactly the same happens here (Konversation 0.15.1 from Debian testing). When a ping timeout to a server occurs (sometimes flaky DSL connection) and Konversation returns too quickly, the nick remains in use and it does not try to change the nick: [20:21:14] [error] Closing Link: fia220-25.dsl.hccnet.nl (Connection timed out) [20:21:14] [Error] Connection to Server irc.oftc.net lost.

This weird bug happened once here too
I tried to connect to IRCNet with the nickname 'alex'. Needless to say the nickname was used so i got this: [23:09] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying _alex. [23:09] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying alex_. [23:09] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying _alex_. [23:10] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying _alex__. [23:10] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying _alex__. [23:10] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying _alex__. [23:10] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying _alex__. [23:10] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying _alex__. [23:10] [Nick] Nickname already in use. Trying _alex__. and so on.
Just tried now with the nick alex on irc.dal.net and it works fine. Are you sure you are using the latest stable konversation which is 0.18? Else send me your konversationrc after you remove your passwords from it.
