connection seems to fail, despite what the client thinks #1951

ShroomiePerson commented 8 months ago

Expected Behavior

when i type in connect and insert my password, i want it to connect. profanity thinks it's connected, but i can't message anyone and the client says connection lost anyways after some waiting and imputing anything, be it message or command. sometimes profanity does connect, but this is in the minority of connection attempts. also notably, i think this is partially a server-side issue, as i recently moved servers and only started experiencing this issue when i did that.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. open profanity
  2. type /connect
  3. input your password
  4. have profanity hallucinate your connection if you're unlucky (and you're very likely to be unlucky.)

Context

i think it's pretty obvious why i would want to be able to use my preferred client, so i'll tell a different but still important piece of context: this is an issue that only i seem to be experiencing, so instead of asking somebody to fix a bug for me, i'm hoping that someone can help me find more symptoms and diagnose the issue.

Environment

`profanity -v

i use a 2019 intel iMac running Mac OSX 14.2.1 and use the terminal emulator WezTerm. i don't know what glib is.

Well... profanity connects for everyone else. Does any other client connect with your new account/server?

ShroomiePerson commented 8 months ago

yep! though, they have issues loading OMEMO encrypted messages sent to and from me while using profanity.

ShroomiePerson commented 8 months ago

oh, i recently changed operating systems (i'm still running off of an imac though), and transferred some of my config files, and the problem still persists

Similar for me, profanity as of some recent version no long logs into my xmpp server, while basically every other client does.

It fails to properly use ssl stuff: SCRAM-SHA-1 and SCRAM-SHA-1 Plus both fail to authenticate properly, ending in a SASL failure and disconnect from the server.

Server reports malformed request when the client responds to the challenge request

jubalh commented 7 months ago

And which libstrophe version are you running?

sjaeckel commented 7 months ago

Must be 0.13.0 since there was no SCRAM PLUS before.

I will create a patch release later today.

allora commented 7 months ago

latest on arch, which is 0.13.0-2

sjaeckel commented 7 months ago

BTW I'm not sure whether what @allora sees has something to do with the initial issue reported.

@allora your issue should be fixed with libstrophe 0.13.1

@ShroomiePerson can you provide logs please?

To do so start profanity via profanity -l DEBUG. The location of the logfile is printed to the console window when profanity started up.

You can also join the profanity MUC if you have any questions.

@sjaeckel just to follow up, building profanity against this version of libstrophe went fine. This isnt yet updated in the arch repos though, so it'll probably be broken there till the packages in the extras repo get updated.

jubalh commented 7 months ago

Alpine, Gentoo, openSUSE, Termux, Ravenports have it updated (or update pending) already. Arch..slow as usual ;)

ShroomiePerson commented 7 months ago

@sjaeckel like, the logs after i connect?

ShroomiePerson commented 7 months ago

@sjaeckel like, the logs after i connect?

well i mean, are the logs something that are made and completed when i open profanity, or are they something that update as i use profanity, and if it's the latter, what should i do before i quit profanity and upload the files?

jubalh commented 7 months ago

Just run the command as described and provide the log files.

sjaeckel commented 7 months ago

If you have questions feel free to join the profanity MUC!

ShroomiePerson commented 7 months ago

profanity.log here's your thing

Gustry commented 2 weeks ago

I think I have the same issue.

On Ubuntu 24.04, it's still libstrophe 0.13.0 today.

I'm going to try to install manually.
