Connection loss without notice

See original GitHub issue

I run lounge-irc as a systemd service on a Raspberry Pi 3 (Ethernet connection, stable internet). Until a week ago, I had v2.1.0 (installed last year, never updated) and everything worked fine. Then I reinstalled Raspbian and lounge-irc, presumably the same way I did before but v2.2.2 this time. Maybe something else changed that I can’t think of now.

My v2.2.2 on Raspbian shows symptoms where it just does not send and receive anymore. 10 minutes after reconnecting (or even rebooting the Pi), I try some command like /whois test and sometimes I receive a response, sometimes the response takes over a minute to arrive and sometimes nothing happens forever. When I wait longer, all commands do not work anymore, though sometimes it detects that it must have disconnected and automatically reconnects. In particular, it doesn’t receive any messages after a couple minutes of inactivity. The web client is always perfectly responsive.

There are several possibly related issues. https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/issues/648 https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/issues/917 https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/issues/915

I tried to activate the debug logging, but can’t find any debug log file anywhere.

This should be improved or fixed entirely on master.

I have the exact same issues. Tried with dev and 2.2.2. Tried different virtual machines as well, both Hyper-V and VirtualBox and the problem persists. When the issue happens, no messages are recieved and the clients time out from the connected server, but TheLounge still seems like it is online. when looking from a connected clients perspective. The user can type messages within channels and direct PMs without getting any errors, but it does not reply to whois however.

All my installations had Nodejs7 and https enabled. Don’t know if that helps. Also, Ubuntu server.
