bitlbee-facebook's Introduction

BitlBee

An IRC to other chat networks gateway

Main website: https://www.bitlbee.org/

Bug tracker: https://bugs.bitlbee.org/

Wiki: https://wiki.bitlbee.org/

License: GPLv2

Installation

BitlBee is available in the package managers of most distros.

For debian/ubuntu/etc you may use the nightly APT repository: https://code.bitlbee.org/debian/

You can also use a public server (such as im.bitlbee.org) instead of installing it: https://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/servers.html

Compiling

If you wish to compile it yourself, ensure you have the following packages and their headers:

glib 2.32 or newer (not to be confused with glibc)
gnutls
python 2 or 3 (for the user guide)

Some optional features have additional dependencies, such as libpurple, libotr, libevent, etc. NSS and OpenSSL are also available but not as well supported as GnuTLS.

Once you have the dependencies, building should be a matter of:

./configure
make
sudo make install

Development tips

To enable debug symbols: ./configure --debug=1
To get some additional debug output for some protocols: BITLBEE_DEBUG=1 ./bitlbee -Dnv
Use github pull requests against the 'develop' branch to submit patches.
The coding style based on K&R with tabs and 120 columns. See ./doc/uncrustify.cfg for the parameters used to reformat the code.
Mappings of bzr revisions to git commits (for historical purposes) are available in ./doc/git-bzr-rev-map
See also ./doc/README and ./doc/HACKING

bitlbee-facebook's Issues

fedora package

On the odd chance that it might be useful to someone, I've put together a package for CentOS (7) and Fedora (22, 23, rawhide) of this available via COPR at https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/larsks/bitlbee-facebook/.

To use it:

dnf -y install 'dnf-command(copr)'
dnf -y copr enable larsks/bitlbee-facebook
dnf -y install bitlbee-facebook

"imcb_buddy_status() for unknown handle" when receiving messages from new friends

I accepted a friend request on Facebook's website while connected via Bitlbee. That person then tried to send me a message. I did not receive the message in my IRC client, but I did see several instances of this in the control channel at that time:

13:51 <@root> facebook - imcb_buddy_status() for unknown handle [redacted]:
13:51 <@root> flags = 1, state = NULL, message = NULL

Having Bitlbee disconnect and reconnect to Facebook seems to have caused it to notice that person, fixing the issue.

Error: Failed to read fixed header

I'm getting "kicked" from a group chat all the time and have to rejoin
Could this be related to #28 ?
The errors I see in &bitlbee:

21:20 @root facebook - Error: Failed to read fixed header
21:20 @root facebook - Signing off..
21:20 -!- Netsplit bitlbee.localhost <-> redacted quits: redacted names (+25 more, use /NETSPLIT to show all of them)
21:20 @root facebook - Error: Failed to write data
21:20 @root facebook - Reconnecting in 5 seconds..
21:20 @root facebook - Logging in: Fetching contacts
21:20 @root facebook - Logging in: Connecting

List dependencies

I tried to build it and had to install following packages on debian stretch/sid:

autoconf
libtool
libglib2.0-dev

A bit more advice for clueless

When I try to connect using login and password I use for logging-in via the browser, e.g. something like

account add facebook mcepl somethingverysecret
account facebook on

I get incorrect login or password error (password is copied from the browser via clipboard, so it should be OK). What's wrong?

OS X, json-glib's json_node_free() calling bitlbee's json_value_free()

System: OS X 10.11.2, Apple LLVM v7.0.2 compiler

I was able to compile bitlbee 3.4.1 and bitlbee-facebook, but when I try to log into my account I get as far as "Parsing JSON:" before I see this:

bitlbee(45248,0x7fff7b553000) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fef33800c60: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap: 6

Here is the lldb output:

* thread #1: tid = 0x933ee5, 0x00007fff98d0c002 libsystem_kernel.dylib`__pthread_kill + 10, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = signal SIGABRT

Frequent Reconnects w/ "Error: Short read"

About every three hours, I end up with "Error: Short read" errors that cause a disconnect. This causes any open chats I have open to be closed and then after reconnecting the chat is closed so any messages received during that time are lost without logging into the web interface.

Because of the frequency of disconnects and the issues that come with them, this amazing feature becomes pretty much unusable. :(

This /might/ be related to #2 but I'm not sure.

Autojoin after fbjoin command

IRC protocol lets the server force a user to join a channel. bitlbee-facebook could use this feature to auto-join the channel created with the fbjoin command.

I guess this should be optional and an autojoin boolean setting could be added.

Disconnecting with an error: Error: ERROR_QUEUE_NOT_FOUND

Didn't know which issue this would be related to, so created a new one. Close this issue if needed.

I updated to "development" branch, since I noticed there were some fixes for #9, and now my bitlbee-facebook is pretty much as unstable as it can be. Some debug:

Numbered release

Having a numbered release could help packaging this one for many distros. What's needed to complete this step?

Shorten fb* commands with a single account

It is quite cumbersome being forced to type facebook (or whatever the tag is) on fbchats/fbcreate/fbjoin commands because when there is a single facebook account, it is not ambiguous.

I don't know if bitlbee API makes this possible, but if it is, that would be great!

Bitlbee not found

My os: Freebsd
Installing from ports: /usr/ports/irc/bitlbee
Downloaded with git and running ./autogen.sh

i get this at the end

checking for BITLBEE... no
configure: error: Package requirements (bitlbee >= 3.4) were not met:

Package bitlbee was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `bitlbee.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'bitlbee', required by 'world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BITLBEE_CFLAGS
and BITLBEE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

But im sure my package is 3.4.1 running, installed and working
The same with bitlbee-steam

Add a way to remove someone from a chat

I know this might be a problem since bitlbee can't handle the KICK command... Is there a workaround for that?

Query to one self

When I have a query/chat opened with a friend and I write in the mobile app (not tested the web-chat) all my messages show up as a query with myself in bitlbee.

Connected with irssi and using the deb package from your repo: 20151113~~f2ca48a~~16

Hope you understand what I mean :)

(Thanks for this excellent piece of software, so nice not to be able to use a proper client)

What's the problem/what am I doing wrong? What needs to be done?

Implementation TODO

Pretty much everything has been implemented as of 53cedfa. Please open new issues.

no urls in received messages

I don't receive messages which include plain urls.

Topic change event

While /topic works to change the topic from bitlbee, it would be nice to be notified in bitlbee when the topic is changed by a different client. If we don't change the topic ourselves, it stays the same whatever happens to it in the server.

Release-handling?

I prefer not to compile my own software. Do you have any plan of contributing this back to the bitlbee project or do distro packaging?

Cryptic core dump

I am using bitlbee + bitlbee-facebook-git on Arch Linux, and I am having this cryptic "core dump" errors. I believe it is being caused by the facebook plugin, because it works nice if I don't use it. Any hints how I could try to debug this?... Here is my log showing the dump messages and pretty much nothing else.

It seems as though bitlbee can't be found...even though I have it installed and use it on a daily basis.
Bitlbee is installed from the ubuntu repositories. bitlbee -V outputs as follows:

Can't build on Cygwin

Can't seem to be able to build it on cygwin:

I tried feeding -no-undefined to libtool but it fails when linking.

New friends not recognised

When a new friend is added via another interface (e.g the Facebook website), Bitlbee doesn't recognise them and marks their online/offline status changes with messages from root instead of adding them to the buddy list. Disabling and re-enabling the account fixes this.

Example:

2015-10-30 00:00:22 @root facebook - imcb_buddy_status() for unknown handle [facebook user id redacted]:

First message sent in a while must be sent twice

I recently upgraded to Debian package version 20151113~f2ca48a~16 from Arch package version r54.094a11b-1, so I think this means an upgrade from the git master branch of 2015-08-28 to the git master branch of 2015-11-13. I'm running the new version on Debian Jessie 32-bit.

Sometimes when I haven't sent a message to someone in a while, I have to send the message twice in my IRC client or it won't reach them. Then for a few minutes I can send messages once. There's no disconnections given in the status window during this period. How can I help you debug this?

Thanks, jgeboski, for a great Bitlbee plugin.

Allow # as the first character of fbjoin channel name

I thought there as a bug until I realized I was writing the full channel name (#foobar) instead of foobar. This is quite misleading as IRC channels are always sharp prefixed.

The debug log suggests that it's fetched my contacts list etc., but then hangs indefinitely before completing the connection.

Any clues?

Autojoin chats already fbjoined when receiving a message

01:58 <seirl> do you autojoin a group when receiving a message yet?
01:58 <jgeboski> no
01:58 <jgeboski> I don't know how I want to do the naming for that
01:58 <jgeboski> like wtf to you name the channel?
[...]
01:59 <seirl> what you could do is do that only for the channels you already explicitely joined then leaved
02:00 <jgeboski> so, if there is already a bitlbee channel, and the user is not in it via their client, open it?
02:00 <jgeboski> assuming there is an incoming message?
02:00 <seirl> yes     
02:00 <jgeboski> yeah, I could do that
02:00 <jgeboski> seems fairly sane

How to use with libpurple

I am having a great deal of trouble getting this to make on archlinux (armv7h) with bitlbee 3.4.1 compiled with libpurple.

Have you tried connecting the plugin after compilation to use libpurple?

Not getting sound notifications on mobile anymore

I didn't notice there was any issue created for this "bug" and I don't know does it even have anything to do with this module, or is there some sort of new feature in Facebook API or something, but here goes:

A while ago my iPhone stopped giving me a sound/vibration notifications for new facebook messages. I've tried every possible setting in my iPhone and reinstalled Messenger, with no luck.

I've noticed that when I turn off my bitlbee-facebook account facebook off I do get notifications on my phone as usual and when my bitlbee-facebook is online, I only get onscreen banner notifications, without any sound or vibrate. Even away messages make no difference.

Any idea what should be done to get the notifications work as they should?

I have Messenger version 26.0 and iOS 8.4 (12H4086d) and bitlbee Version: 3.2.2-2+b1, bitlbee-common Version: 3.2.2-2, bitlbee-facebook commit: ea5d6af.

Unexpected when seeking value

This happens all the time.

fbjoin should check if you've already joined a given group chat

I hadn't used bitlbee's groupchat feature and wasn't sure how to get back into a groupchat after leaving it; just rerunning the fbjoin command works, but has the downside that it generates a fresh group channel in bitlbee every single time. The correct solution is to run /join #channelname to rejoin.

To avoid confusion of this sort, I suggest that on attempting to fbjoin a chat, bitlbee-facebook should first check whether that chat's already been joined, and if so, it should either

implicitly /join the existing channel, as though the user had entered the correct command in the first place, or
abort the fbjoin operation and produce an error message like "You're already in that groupchat - try /join #nameofchannel".

Protocol not found

I have installed the nightly repo for Debian Wheezy and updated bitlbee to 3.4.1 and then installed the bitlbee-facebook repo and installed bitlbee-facebook. I have also restarted weechat in which I run bitlbee. On reconnecting to bitlbee and trying to add a facebook account with

acc add facebook [email protected] password

I receive the response from bitlbee of "Unknown Protocol".

I've checked everything is installed and running the correct version etc. Any thoughts as to why this isn't working. Facebook.so is in /usr/lib/bitlbee.

Any hints gratefully received.

Bitlbee disconnects on "acc facebook on"

Hello,

I'm using bitlbee 3.2.2-2+b1 with bitlbee-facebook 0.1+20150528+master+d43bd0a+jessie on Debian Jessie.

I can connect to bitlbee just fine using "/connect localhost" in irssi. Then, I add a facebook account using "acc add facebook [email protected] myappspecificpassword", and when I use "acc facebook on", bitlbee just disconnects. When doing this while running bitlbee manually with "BITLBEE_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/bitlbee -nD", I'm getting the following message:
Error: Fatal signal received: 11. That's probably a bug.
Segmentation fault

I guess the problem comes from this plugin, since I've never had this problem before, but if I need to post something in bitlbee's bug tracker, let me know.

Lower glib2 requirement to 2.28.8

Is it possible to lower the glib2 requirement from 2.32.0 to 2.28.8, please? This would allow to build bitlbee-facebook for RHEL/CentOS 6.

Connection to Facebook suddenly broke

I've been seeing a whole lot of:

It starts around noon PST today, and hasn't worked since.

I just reinstalled the plugin today because the jabber seems down for me. It was working about one month ago. I made a fresh install, add my account, and I cannot go further that:

If I talk to someone using the mobile app anything I say is whispered to myself in Bitlbee, as myself. The message does not show in the chat with the person I am actually talking to, but their messages are. Is there a way to work around this issue?

Image support

I received a pair of images that were rendered like this in irssi:

<[fb]kosti> <img id="1">
<[fb]kosti> <img id="2">

When I logged to the website, it was rendered correctly.

I'd expect bitlbee-facebook to convert it to a copyable/clickable URL, or at least not to cut off the rest of the HTML.

The API seems to "consume" messages before they reach other devices

Every time I receive a message and bitlbee-facebook is on, a message-read notification is sent to the Facebook server and therefore:

It looks like the message was read, even if we just left an SSH session with irssi open on some remote server;
The message doesn't reach any other devices connected to the account. I experienced it today: while bitlbee-facebook was on, I wasn't able to get the message notifications either on my tablet or smartphone, although I hadn't read the message yet.

I don't know if it's a common issue, a design flaw in the API, or if it's some misconfiguration on my side.

Some messages received twice

Sometimes a message is displayed twice. Looks like it is like if it was received twice (don't know what's happening behind).

It happens rarely enough for it not to be too constraining but I just wanted to report it. ^.^

Message from strangers printed out in main &bitlbee channel

I'm using weechat for IRC, bitlbee for jabber and facebook conversations. I've grouped my jabber and facebook contacts following this guide https://wiki.bitlbee.org/ManagingContactList
Everything is ok, I have my facebook contacts in &facebook. When someone is writing to me, the new private channel appears with his ID.
The problem is when sender is a stranger (not my friend on facebook) the message goes to &bitlbee main channel, instead of new private channel. It'd be great to see this conversation in the same place as the others and to be able to answer.
The sender is actually an administrator of some "fan page". Message was in my "Inbox", not in "Other".

In &bitlbee:

acc list
0 (facebook): facebook, ... 
1 (jabber): jabber, ...

Constant Connection Timeouts

The MQTT connection randomly drops out, and the account is forced to log back in. This leads to messages becoming lost in transit to the client.

To resolve this issue, the plugin should attempt to silently reconnect with the last sequence identifier. Using the last sequence identifier will enable the plugin to retrieving missed messages.
