XMPP resourceparts (names of resources - the "resource" parameter in Telepathy) are not normally meant to start with "/". If you can only connect with resource omitted or set to start with "/", then something is wrong. Have you tried setting it to a string not starting with "/" but not equal to "laptop"? If you set the resourcepart to "laptop", your full JID would be something like "[email protected]/laptop" - the / delimiter is part of the syntax, not part of the resourcepart. Similarly, if you set the resource to "/laptop", you would end up with the unconventional full JID "[email protected]//laptop" (I think - the second / might get escaped somehow, I can't remember what the syntactic restrictions are). Do you have other XMPP clients connected to the same account? Might one of them have its resourcepart set to "laptop" too? If you're able to create and delete disposable accounts on a jabberd2 server, it might be interesting to see the uncensored SASL handshake for an account with a known username, password and resourcepart, to be able to verify that the handshake is done correctly according to RFC6120 and RFC2831. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to telepathy-gabble in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1223436 Title: telepathy-gabble 0.18 does not work with jabberd2 Status in Jabber/XMPP connection manager: Confirmed Status in “telepathy-gabble” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “telepathy-gabble” source package in Saucy: Triaged Bug description: If I upgrade to telepathy-gabble 0.18.0-1 or 0.18.1-1, I can no longer connect to a jabberd2 server.
