Cannot connect: Login error: ERROR_QUEUE_OVERFLOW

Closed this issue 6 years ago · 13 comments

Today, I started getting this error:

14:53:37 <@root> facebook - Logging in: Authenticating

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.1 and the plugin is installed from its universe repo:

aptitude show bitlbee-plugin-facebook
Package: bitlbee-plugin-facebook
Version: 1.1.2-1
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Priority: optional
Section: universe/net
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>
Architecture: amd64
Uncompressed Size: 154 k
Depends: bitlbee (>= 3.4) | bitlbee-libpurple (>= 3.4), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.37.3), libjson-glib-1.0-0 (>= 0.14), libc6 (>= 2.14)
Provides: bitlbee-facebook

Is this a known problem that can be solved by compiling latest version from source, or something new?
Thanks you.

Seems related to #129 (comment)

Answer 2 · 2019-01-04T14:44:48.000Z

For the record, I've tried the code from development branch, but the problem is the same.

Answer 3 · 2019-01-05T01:34:15.000Z

I've been getting the same since ~9:30am Thursday (2 days & 3hrs ago) I'm running on a Debian Jessie system, I was running from the old jgeboski apt repo, but to try and fix this problem I compiled directly from the source code here and the symptoms didn't change at all.

Answer 4 · 2019-01-05T07:45:56.000Z

Same here, for the last few days in a row now. Also tried re-compiling everything from master as well as purging any caches to no avail.

I did a debug-log and found several messages about upgrading to a new version of messenger:

Thank you for using Messenger. We regret to inform you that starting today, March 29, the version of the app you're using will no longer be supported and will no longer allow you to send and receive messages. To continue using Messenger, please update your Messenger app to the latest version: https:\/\
/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.facebook.orca If your phone does not support the newest versions of Messenger, you have two options: 1) You can install Facebook Lite to access your messages. Facebook Lite is the lightweight version of Facebook includes messaging, is fast, uses less data and works in slower network conditions. You can install it
 from here: https:\/\/fb.me\/bTOyGFpIKf3j7N 2) We recommend going to https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/messages on your mobile browser. Thanks, The Messenger Team

This was part of a JSON response, and looked like it was part of a chat

I'm not sure what's sensitive information so I've left the rest of the log off.

FWIW, since I'm running with libpurple, I tried installing purple-facebook and ran into this issue: dequis/purple-facebook#449
purple-facebook doesn't seem to get as far into the login process before stopping (I get login notification emails from using bitlbee-facebook but I don't get them from purple-facebook)

Answer 6 · 2019-01-07T09:15:19.000Z

I've update user agent in facebook-api.h to

#define FB_ORCA_AGENT "[FBAN/Orca-Android;FBAV/192.0.0.31.101;FBBV/14477681]"

And it connects, sends and receives messages. Maybe something else, like groupchats, is broken, but I can live with it as a workaround.

Answer 7 · 2019-01-07T09:29:30.000Z

Oh. Neat. Thanks. I applied that in 7682a35

It's very likely it's just that.

Answer 8 · 2019-01-07T09:49:36.000Z

Should I close the issue or wait for the packages to come out?

Answer 9 · 2019-01-07T10:04:53.000Z

I usually like to keep things open for a while for visibility. I do intend to make a new versioned release soonish.

Answer 10 · 2019-01-09T07:15:35.000Z

i am using ubuntu 18.04 and just updated to "bitlbee-facebook (20190107~~7682a35~~323)", and still receive the "Login error: ERROR_QUEUE_OVERFLOW" error, so the above fix has not resolved it.

Answer 11 · 2019-01-09T07:26:59.000Z

Just to be sure: restart bitlbee daemon, reconnect your irc client

Answer 12 · 2019-01-09T07:38:44.000Z

i restarted bitlbee, but did not reconnect, and reconnecting resolved it.

Answer 13 · 2019-01-24T12:10:42.000Z

Released v1.2.0 with the fix for this

Note that the general error ("ERROR_QUEUE_OVERFLOW") can potentially have other causes unrelated to this issue so it might still appear here in the future.

If you're using v1.2.0 or higher and this happens, please open another issue instead of adding comments here.
