Something doesn't have enough permission Give write permission to /.telegram-cli folder and see if it fixes If not, try starting telegram-cli with -u root argument

[nurbekauez]

With permission everthing's OK, i noticed that:

1. telegram-cli user have several Supergroups
2. On the other Windows machine installed telegram dekstop with same account
3. If in Windows telegram client i clear history on supergroups. i see errors above. #1467

Can someone repeat this action with telegram cli and telegram desktop. action must be complete on supergroups

[nurbekauez]

by the way: this account owner by that supergroups.

[BMRG14]

Take a look at this: #937

[nurbekauez]

i checked issue #937. it is not my reason. because i have: (type messages.Dialogs) (query type get dialogs) telegram-cli: tgl/queries.c:470: tglq_query_result: Assertion `0' failed....

after deleting/clearing history on supergroups from windows client

[BMRG14]

I'm out of ideas then :grin:

After several months of successful usage, last week I started getting the same error:

Other commands - such as get_self, msg, and resolve_username - still work correctly

I finally got a working build again, by installing linuxbrew and following the instructions for homebrew on OS X.

[stefanchudy]

How to solve this?

[nurbekauez]

I solved it for 3 steps:

1. Delete account files on /home/user or /home/xxx if you sing in on root user dir: /root/
2. Login Again with mobile number.
3. Never delete chat history on Users Groups on mobile phone, with using telegram mobile client.

[stefanchudy]

on /home/user, there're many directories and I am not sure what should I delete?

[nurbekauez]

I mean about your linux user account. 1 home/your_user_account/.telegram-cli 2 home/telegramd 3 root/.telegram-cli

[stefanchudy]

I've just deleted .telegram-cli directory and logged in again. But I have same issue when I typed channel_list.

[nurbekauez]

where are you delete it?

[stefanchudy]

home/my_user_account/.telegram-cli

[nurbekauez]

can you delete this folder on root also?!

[stefanchudy]

I don't have root user.

[nurbekauez]

and you have telegramd on /home/ directory?

[stefanchudy]

there's no telegramd on /home/my_user_account directory.

[nurbekauez]

in this folder you have file "auth". this file save about account information. if you find and delete it, telegram-cli must request phone number (like after first client install)

[stefanchudy]

Yes, I did. and it's not working now.

[andrew-phi]

Seems like tg-cli cannot handle EMPTY chats. If you CLEAR HISTORY in any client, connecting immediately with CLI will fail with this crash.

• Temporary solution: write something into empty chat
• Long-term fix: don't know, code is not straight-forward without knowing the protocol 8(

[Paulchen232]

Then do try the line comment out. Also in the file tgl/queries.c the line 470.

[Paulchen232]

Of course, then do make in the folder below.

[arshbot]

This worked for me

[vitalysennikov]

Remove file: rm -f ~/.telegram-cli/state

[himselfv]

I think this happened to me when I exceeded the disk quota and some write probably failed. It seems that you can get into this state in a number of ways, but once you're in it you have to delete /state to fix it.

[masoudkazemi]

I just encountered this issue two times and both were due to some pinned message in two different groups. In one the account was the owner and in the other just a member. In both times it got fixed when I get rid of the pinned message. So I concluded the pinned message was the problem, in my cases.

[0xfk0]

Looks like this (https://github.com/vysheng/tg/issues/1467) patch solves the issue. telegram-cli crashes every time when receiving "pinned message".

[synchro--]

Same here with a Snap install on Ubuntu16.04. Solved by removing: ~/snap/telegram-cli/25/.telegram-cli/state as suggested by @vitalysennikov

No patch yet?
