To further muddy the waters, a large number of server variants actually do support listing with wildcards. Thankfully, there is a recognised detection mechanism to find out *if* it is supported: RPL_ISUPPORT (005)'s ELIST token. (I'm not certain *everything* uses this, but if it doesn't, well... bad luck for them?) See: http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/005.html Basically, you want to look for 'M' in ELIST's value if I remember rightly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to telepathy-idle in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426795 Title: empathy can't get roomlist (from irc.freenode.net) Status in A full-featured IRC connection manager for telepathy.: Confirmed Status in “telepathy-idle” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy empathy (2.27.91.1-2ubuntu5) steps to reproduce: - add a (freenode) IRC Account - click Room > [Join Room] Room List - nothing happens Debug Information [Help>Debug]: empathy/Other-DEBUG: 1,252499e+09: builder_get_file_valist: Loading file /usr/share/empathy/empathy-new-chatroom-dialog.ui empathy/Tp-DEBUG: 1,252499e+09: tp_roomlist_finalize: Closing channel... empathy/Tp-DEBUG: 1,252499e+09: tp_roomlist_request_channel_cb: Error requesting channel: unsupported channel type org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.RoomList ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Sep 9 14:26:29 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: empathy 2.27.91.1-2ubuntu5 ProcEnviron: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-10.30-generic SourcePackage: empathy Uname: Linux 2.6.31-10-generic x86_64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/telepathy-idle/+bug/426795/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
