When setting dcc_download_path to a location that resides on a mounted cifs or smbfs partition, irssi will not download to the location.

The returned errors message in my case is: DCC can't create file /media/cifs/path/to/file: Permission denied

Please see other documented cases at: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/28173/trouble-with-irssi-and-cifs

Hi,

I've been googl'ing around the last day(s) for this issue but it doesn't seem to affect much people or they diagnose it wrong.

I have irssi running inside GNU Screen (4.00.03jw4 (FAU) 2-May-06), as most of you I guess...

First it started some time ago with temporary freezes, the UI just hanged itself for a couple of minutes and then displays all keystrokes again (lovely escape chars all over the terminal...) now since 2-3 days it completely hangs upon every connect to an IRC.

These hangs take so long, that by the time the UI resumes, I've been PingTimeout' off the server already.

I started to keep track at what points it hangs, and it seems to always be different ones. Some time it hung up, it was about 1 line before the end of MOTD then the next time, it was already past MOTD but hung before a ServerNotice.

It's really annoying and more over I cant seem to find the issue.

The resources on this machine are limited but still free enough. CPU is mostly idle (Load average: 0.00 0.09 0.11) and theres 100MB-1GB's left in Memory too. The network I'm trying to connect to is on localhost to remove the fault of pkg-loss. I've checked the server with ncat, I can definitively say it's not the network connection...

Any ideas?



Thanks,

cordially requesting that irssi rejoin channels post-netslit at the same channel # while conserving any scrollback lines, without recreating the window. setting windows to immortal will preserve the scrollback but will result in the rejoin behaviour creating new windows. workaround is to use the the /join -window operator in the older window but will result in losing any scrollback generated post-netsplit.

Chatlogging used to work fine until 18th February.
Since then only one channel is logged anymore and it just writes to file "~/irclogs/.log".
Editing "config" file or via command "/SET autolog_path ~/irclogs/$tag/$0.log" has no effect.

QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it may exhibit random runtime failures.

Printout of Portage following the command: emerge irssi
It does installs and seems to work properly.

The currently active theme file is not saved to the same location as it's opened from. This makes configuration management slightly messier than it needs to be albeit is just a minor nuisance.

I have a directory called themes in ~/.irssi/themes that contains all my themes. I can easily load a theme from there:
/set theme themes/solarized-orig-universal

But if I /save:
-!- Irssi: Theme saved to /home/artanicus/.irssi/solarized-orig-universal.theme

If loading themes from arbitrary locations is supported it would be nice if they were saved back to those locations as well instead of fragmenting them to two separate locations.

After CTRL-Z the screen is empty and the title contains "cygterm -PuTTY". There is no shortcut to resume and everything I type in, does no action. Read about commands like fg etc. but there is no job control.

Hello all,

The segfault corresponding to the attached backtrace happens when I type /part in a channel. I also, sometimes, get a segfault when the connection to a server times out. I couldn't get a backtrace of such a timeout yet, so I can't tell whether they are related.

Operating System: Slackware 13.1 64-bit
Irssi version: 0.8.15

The build scripts that are used by Slackware can be found here: http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-13.1/source/n/irssi/

Be aware that this applies two patches, although I think it's unlikely that they cause the segfault... especially the man page patch :-)

bitlbee_rename.pl (with a small modification)
bitlbee_typing_notice.pl
booleansoup.pl (custom)
dinnertime.pl (custom)
heart.pl (custom)
hilightwin.pl
lastfm.pl
nickcolor.pl
screen_away.pl
trackbar.pl
zosma.pl (see https://github.com/DeltaLeonis/botsma/blob/master/zosma.pl)

I'm hesitant to add the contants of the custom scripts and the irssi config file, as they might contain sensitive data. Providing the full backtrace is already a little revealing.

Implement a new option "/script load -auto scriptName" similar to...
1) "/server add -auto"
2) "/channel add -auto"

Adding this method "/script load -auto scriptName" allows the users to manage their scripts more efficiently for automation and to get rid of overall unnecessary burden of depending on symbolic links in different places such as...

1) Scripts located in "/usr/share/irssi/scripts/" "~/.irssi/scripts/"
2) Scripts located in "~/.irssi/scripts/" to "~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/"

This mean the "~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/" directory will be no longer needed and can be eliminated. The "~/.irssi/" directory will appear to be more organized and the users will continue to keep their scripts in "~/.irssi/scripts/" and use "/script load -auto scriptName" instead.

"/script load -auto scriptName" is expected to check for scripts located in /usr/share/irssi/scripts/ and $HOME/.irssi/scripts before reporting if it is either loaded or not found.

Here is an example;


# su irc
# irssi
