• Bug#267016: kopete: cannot change to another IRC-network in existing ac

    Package: kopete
    Version: 4:3.3.0-1
    Severity: normal

    After renaming my standard network i added to kopete because it wasn't by default available, kopete wasn't able to access the network. Even by
    explicitly selecting it in the IRC account options didn't change anything (maybe because the old network name isn't available anymore?).

    So I had to edit kopeterc manually and change the network name there by myself but don't have any problems now.

    hi Michael,

    After renaming my standard network i added to kopete because it wasn't by default available, kopete wasn't able to access the network. Even by explicitly selecting it in the IRC account options didn't change anything (maybe because the old network name isn't available anymore?).

    So I had to edit kopeterc manually and change the network name there by myself
    but don't have any problems now.

    for any chance of getting this fixed, please provide the detailed
    steps to reproduce:

    - which network did you create (name and settings)
    - if it worked fine just after creating, and if you restarted kopete
    before changing the name
    - steps you followed to change the name and which new name you gave
    to it

    otherwise, we lack the time to do all that investigation by ourselves.

    thanks,

    Hello,

    I tried again and that's what I did:

    I created a new network without any name given including one server (irc.quakenet.org:6667), the network was named "New Network" (standard).

    Login proceeds without problems but now I see that I want to rename the
    network name to QuakeNet (I tried some other names -> exchangeable). Rename
    the network, change your IRC account settings to use the new network name
    (made automatically actually).

    Problem in two different versions:

    1. Re-login directly after changing name and logout from IRC network does absolutely nothing. The IRC icon blinks but stops after a few seconds without any error notice.

    2. After restarting kopete, error message pops up:

    "The network associated with this account, New Network, no longer exists. Please ensure that the account has a valid network. The account will not be enabled until you do so."

    You can check the preferences again to change the network name but it doesn't help. Manually editing kopeterc or just creating a new IRC account solves the problem which is IMHO no clean solution.

    I have reproduced the bug three times now, one time restarting kopete beforce changing the network name and the other time without restarting. Both lead to the same result.
