Gnus is asking for a username

Gnus is asking for a username

Hi.

This has been going on for a while now, but now the limit has reached :)
I am subscribed to several newsgroups via gmane.org and whenever I hit c
(mark all articles read) in Group Topic buffer Gnus asks me a
username. I usually hit C-g to avoid providing one. All articles are
marked as read then.

I can read messages in gmane newsgroup without providing a
username.

What is going on?

Regards,
mihkel

I have no idea, sorry.  I've never seen this happen.

Thanks for the reply. Just writing to say that the problem is still
present. Now I use Ma Gnus v0.8, but the gnus init file related to
news.gmane.org has remained same:

(nntp "news.gmane.org"
        (nntp-address "news.gmane.org")
        (nntp-server-port 563)
        (nntp-stream ssl)

I'd sugget M-x toggle-debug-on-quit, so you'll get a backtrace when
hitting C-g that could help guessing where the problem comes from.

Hi.

After M-x toggle-debug-on-quit I get:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit) signal(quit nil)
  byte-code("^H\204^G^@\301 \210\302\303\304\"\207" [debug-on-quit
  nntp-close-server signal quit nil] 3) byte-code("\306^H
  \n#\210^K\205^O^@\307^K\310\311#^\\312\216\310\313\314\217^U*\310\207"
  [-group -server -connectionless nntp-connection-timeout -timer
  nntp-with-open-group$ nntp-with-open-group-function(nil

  nntp-request-group("gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.announce"
  "news.gmane.org" nil
  ("nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.announce" 6 ((1
  . 426)) ((seen (1 . 426))) "nntp:ne$
  gnus-activate-group("nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.announce")
  gnus-sequence-of-unread-articles("nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.announce")
  gnus-group-catchup("nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.announce"
  nil) gnus-group-catchup-current() gnus-topic-catchup-articles("Gnus")
  call-interactively(gnus-topic-catchup-articles nil nil)


So it complains about news.gmane.org:gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.announce
- a newsgroup I'm subscribed to. In Browse Server buffer I don't see
that group anymore. Could this be the case? How I unsubscibe from
linux.redhat.fedora.announce, when I can't see it in Browse Server
buffer.

Are you using the `c' command on this group, and that leads Gnus to
query you for a password?

Just `j'ump to the group and kill it.
