Package: frozen-bubble Version: 2.1.0-2 Severity: normal User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: origin-ubuntu hardy ubuntu-patch patch
By default the nickname (if none given) is truncated to 10 characters (see sanitize_nick function). However, when creating a LAN server, the prefix "lan-" is added. Thus if the username is longer than 10 (mine is 15) it gets truncated to 10 characters plus the 4 of the server prefix. However, when creating a LAN server, you get an error because the server name is longer than 12 characters.
The attached patch fixes this issue. This bug has been originally reported on Launchpad: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/frozen-bubble/+bug/96460
