Problem with Rizon BNC server on Ubuntu Lucid

[DarthGandalf]

Reported by rip on 19 Oct 2010 22:28:13 UTC I have BNC on Rizon server rizonbnc.us.rizon.net and I connect using SSL. I had no problem in kvIRC 4.0.0 RC2 on Ubuntu Lucid. Recently I've upgraded to 4.0.2 and connection suddenly stops.

I mean SSL handshake appears to be ok but then nothing happens. After a while there is an error mesage "Remote end has closed the connection".

I reverted to kvIRC 4.0.0 RC2 and no problem again so this is problem with kvIRC 4.0.2

Note that I tried normal connection (not SSL) and worked OK so it seems like a problem with SSL connections in kvIRC 4.0.2 on Lucid. Don't know if other systems are affected.

Comment by ambossarm on 19 Oct 2010 22:44:03 I just tested it and had no problem. but from 4.0.2 to 4.0.0 RC2 is a huge jump and are you sure you are on lucid and that the RC2 package is for lucid and not karmic, because I found no snapshot for lucid with RC2, only some RC3 snapshots?

you may test the latest build from http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~xt1/ubuntu/ did you install the debug package? If yes, does gdb say something about ssl?

Comment by rip on 25 Oct 2010 15:51:48 It's me again. Sorry for the delay but I had some problems with Net connection. But it's okay now.

@hellvis I got the package from kvirc.net website.

@ambossarm My kvIRC says he's Insomnia 4.0.0 Release Candidate II. I've upgraded from Jaunty to Lucid, maybe that's why. Then again kvIRC should upgade too, right?

I never used Karmic. Skipped it, 'cause I didn't like it. I've upgraded directly to Lucid instead (using Lucid DVD and repo changed to lucid). Ubuntu says to be "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx" (info from Menu=>System=>About Ubuntu) and my GNOME version is 2.30.2 (that's not version from Karmic for sure).

Tried the latest biuld (Equilibrium 4.1.1 - BTW THX ambossarm) but still no luck. Installed kvirc-dbg too, but no complains from gdb. Again SSL handshake seems to be OK, but then nothing happens. And update - I can't connect to BNC without SSL too. But I can connect to normal Rizon IRC server (not BNC). So it's some issue with this particular server.

But still Insomnia 4.0.0 RC2 can connect to Rizon BNC no problem with or without SSL so from my point of view it's still a bug. Though it seems I was wrong, SSL is not an issue here, so I'm changing the name of the topic.

And one more thing, since I have BNC account on Rizon, I cannot use my main nickname on Rizon and cannot identify for it unless I connect using BNC server. So the problem is kinda serious for me...

Comment by rip on 25 Oct 2010 16:14:23 Just so you know how it looks like, that's kvirc 4.1.1

Same settings, kvirc 4.0.0 RC2

What's the problem? It's not normal that 4.0.0 RC2 version can do something 4.1.1 cannot, right?

Comment by rip on 25 Oct 2010 17:41:10 The oldest "bug" known - not reading FAQ by the user, lol. Guess I've made a fool of myself. Then again it wouldn't hurt if kvirc could autodetect the problem and displayed a message: "If it's a bouncer you're trying to connect, then turn off CAP protocol in server settings, you dolt!" or STH like that ;)

Comment by rip on 25 Oct 2010 17:52:48 BTW - There's an error in your FAQ. The FAQ says to disable an option "Use CAP protocol" on second tab "Connection". That's wrong, there's no such option. It's on the last tab "Advanced" and the name of the option is "Query advanced capabilities on connect".
