No new query is opened, when using /msg $NAME

[avatar@…]

Hi,

I'm using bitlee inside screen, and irssi on a gentoo-PC (amd64). And there is no new query opened for a new chat, if I'm using /msg or /query.

It is compiled with USE="ipv6 jabber oscar ssl yahoo -debug -gnutls -msn -nss -test -xinetd"

On a Ubuntu-PC (32bit) it wokrs fine.

Hrmm, amd64-i386 shouldn't matter here. What's happening exactly, can you show it in a raw IRC log?

If I receive a message it looks like this:

01:01 <-abc[~abc@...] ok, werde sie dir noch zukommen lassen!

And when I send a message with /msg abc it looks like

19:55 ->[abc] msg nein, leider nicht, es öffnet sich hier immer noch kein neues query :(

Do you need something more?

[wilmer]

Which IM protocol is this? Or do you have this with *all* contacts?

Also, this is not an IRC rawlog. With irssi you can generate those using /rawlog.

I've attached the log-file.

I have the problems with all contacts (jabber, icq)

This all looks normal (assuming your nickname is indeed german_). Somehow your IRC client is adding a space at the beginning of every message, don't know why it'd do that, but maybe you have some irssi (or different IRC client?) script loaded that causes this behaviour.

To BitlBee, query windows don't exist. Those are just a thing represented to you by the IRC client. For BitlBee, /query and /msg are 100% the same thing.

Thank you. So, if I understand this correctly, something is wrong with my irssi. I'll check that.

That's definitely more likely. Could be some script, some setting, I don't know. Good luck!

I've found the solution.

In my irssi-config, there was the setting autocreate_query_level = 'none'. I've changed this to 'yes' and now it works fine.

Thanks again for your help!
