Freenode (IRC?) channels don't show up in room directory

[BloodyIron]

Just updated to Riot desktop 1.0 on Linux.

Try to join room, search freenode for "librenms" or "#librenms" or "freenas", no search results come up.

[turt2live]

Is this in the room directory or room list?

[BloodyIron]

Its when I hit the "+" beside Rooms, so, Room Directory I think?

[turt2live]

yup, that'll be the room directory. Fun.

[Half-Shot]

This is a bit worse than that. The listings to remote homeservers have vanished, as well as custom protocols. I only have the option for half-shot.uk and [M] Matrix now.

This is a rather serious regression.

[jryans]

Does anyone have a screenshot or description of the previous behavior? This sounds bad, but I also haven't used the room directory enough to be sure that I understand how it used to work.

[lampholder]

@Half-Shot do you not see this when you open the room directory?

[lampholder]

And I do get search results, at least when I search for rooms which turned up when I clicked '#freenode':

[lampholder]

And I get no search results when I search for librenms, either on riot 1.0.1 or riot 0.17.something:

old:

1.0.1

So if this is a regression, right now it's not looking like a riot web one to me.

[Half-Shot]

I'll have to dig out a old copy of Riot to prove it, but I don't see my Discord guilds which should be listed in the dropdown. It could also be a regression in the bridge, but I don't think it is.

[lampholder]

@Half-Shot are you able to dig out an old riot to test? I've got an arbitrarily old one running at https://lant.uk/riot/colour/#/login if you want to try that. At the moment I can't give this any priority to investigate 'cause as far as I can tell nothing has changed :\

[Half-Shot]

You can close this, it's a bug with the discord bridge: https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-discord/issues/415

EDIT: I can close this.

[BloodyIron]

Uhhh this issue still happens for me, why are we closing this?!?!?

[turt2live]

Easy to reproduce. @Half-Shot's issue is unrelated.

[Half-Shot]

Right sorry, not sure how I got my issue caught up in this one.

[BloodyIron]

@Half-Shot lool accidents happen XD

But yeah, I'd love to have Riot be my exclusive IRC tool, without this working, that's not possible.

[turt2live]

So if this is a regression, right now it's not looking like a riot web one to me.

@lampholder this definitely used to work, and having looked at the response bodies it is some synapse issue I think.

[lampholder]

@turt2live do synapse have a corresponding issue for this do you know?

[turt2live]

@lampholder I don't believe we have a synapse issue yet.

[devinplatt]

I think you have to type the "#" before the room name for it to work. Even if nothing shows on the list there may still be a join button.

Edit: oh lol @tgr who helped me with this on Wednesday created issue vector-im/element-web#9621

[BloodyIron]

Issue persists, still can't see "#librenms" or "librenms" for "Freenode".

[BloodyIron]

Still can't find "librenms" or "freenas" through the Freenode room finder. I can find "theforeman-random" though.

So this looks to be inconsistent behaviour and still mad broken :(

[t3chguy]

@BloodyIron does the channel have chanmode +s?

[t3chguy]

#librenms is +i so invite-only and thus won't be in the room directory

[BloodyIron]

and FreeNAS? I know that's not invite only for sure

[grahamperrin]

Can't find either of these:

• #firefox on Freenode
• #firefox on Moznet

No rooms to show

If there are likely explanations for not showing rooms that do exist:

• the explanation(s) should be shown.

[BloodyIron]

I'd really like this to get resolved as Riot is an incredibly awesome tool for the public communication networks. I was going to set up my own IRC web client, but Riot blows it out of the water by bridging other communication networks too (naturally I mean Riot and Matrix when I say that).

[geekscrapy]

I think this is part of this issue, but I click join room and the join button isn't available, and I can't find the channel using search either (with and without #) Update, just seen its mode is +ns. Does this mean I can't join it using riot?

[geekscrapy]

#librenms is +i so invite-only and thus won't be in the room directory

Does this mean you can't join these networks using riot?

[t3chguy]

You can, you just have to be invited, as you would in irc.
