This worked several months ago; unfortunately I'm not sure exactly when. == Test case == {{{ account jabber set away ""Message"" }}} Verify via another Jabber account that it is set away '''and''' has the status message {{{Message}}}. Currently, Bitlbee incorrectly only sets away state, not the actual message, as verified by {{{_xmlconsole}}}. {{{ account jabber set -del away }}} Verify via another Jabber account that it is no longer away. == Conversation from {{{#bitlbee}}} == {{{ dx: What XEP does Bitlbee use to set /away Some message here? It's not working on my Prosody setup and I'm trying to find what module to enable. pretty sure that's core stuff https://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3921.html#rfc.section.2.2.2.2 Any idea what might break it? It sets Away, but the message doesn't show up. dunno, have you verified that they are sent with xmlconsole? https://github.com/bitlbee/bitlbee/blob/7801298f6a855cda0c62433d45ec717d2773ef73/doc/user-guide/commands.xml#L1816 doesn't align with https://wiki.bitlbee.org/Debugging , might want to update the former to mention ""_xmlconsole"" instead of ""xmlconsole""... <_xmlconsole> TX: 25away Nope, no mention of the message. Huh, it's broken with DukGo, too, and I -know- it worked there before. dx: Last known working was.. a few months ago? hmmmmm Does it work on your machine? nope }}} ''Some messages trimmed'' " defect closed normal Jabber devel fixed away presence status message broke Client-independent Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
