| [00:01] <Mamarok> evanrmurphy: can we help you? | |
| [00:06] <defn> Hey I'm having some trouble joining #ubuntu | |
| [00:06] <defn> It tried to test me but the tests failed | |
| [00:06] <defn> Erm, I think it's fixed now | |
| [00:06] <defn> Sorry | |
| [00:13] <elky> evanrmurphy, our /topic mentions that this is a no-idling zone. | |
| [00:16] <Mamarok> elky: third time... | |
| [00:16] <elky> okies | |
| [02:21] <genii> For some reason the term "duel boot" being used over and over today is bugging the hell outta me. | |
| [02:21] <genii> (as opposed to "dual boot" ) | |
| [02:22] <Flannel> genii: You mean we don't have special shoes to wear while fighting? | |
| [02:23] <genii> Flannel: Maybe you do, I don't :) | |
| [02:23] <genii> I guess I'm just irritable today about it. | |
| [02:27] <nalioth> genii: it's 'duel boot' when you install windows _after_ linux | |
| [02:28] <genii> nalioth: Yes, sometimes it does seem an apt description | |
| [02:30] <genii> Bleh. Time to head to bed before I chew some new user's head off tonight. Laters | |
| [02:37] <Flannel> Bye genii! | |
| [02:51] * aubade puts a penny on the track and runs out | |
| [03:23] <Flannel> Shadowwolf, ilovellama, lordofflames <-- All same person? (-ot) | |
| [03:47] <ubottu> FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) | |
| [03:47] <ubottu> FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) | |
| [03:47] <ubottu> FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) | |
| [03:48] <Flannel> Hmmm, no kline for him? | |
| [03:49] <vorian> he is no longer with us | |
| [03:49] <vorian> (or she) | |
| [03:51] <Flannel> thanks vorian | |
| [03:52] <vorian> anytime | |
| [04:30] <Flannel> Good grief. People today. | |
| [04:39] <Seeker`> when I was younger... | |
| [04:39] <Flannel> and we liked it! | |
| [04:40] <Seeker`> ...uphill BOTH WAYS | |
| [04:42] <Seeker`> why am I not asleep | |
| [04:42] <Seeker`> its 0442 | |
| [04:42] <Flannel> because your eyes are still open! | |
| [04:42] <Seeker`> managed to sleep from 0000 to 0145, then 0200 to 0400 | |
| [04:42] <Seeker`> rest of the time has been just dozing | |
| [04:43] <Flannel> Can't sleep while the evil yellow daystar is down, eh? | |
| [04:45] <Seeker`> pretty much | |
| [04:45] <Seeker`> was in bed at 2330, which is a really early night for me | |
| [04:46] <Seeker`> if i'm up this early, I may as well go an queue outside a store to get an iPhone at some silly time before the stores open | |
| [05:31] <evanrmurphy> sorry about before, didn't mean to idle | |
| [05:32] <evanrmurphy> I signed off for the day and tend to just stay in IRC as /away | |
| [05:32] <evanrmurphy> yes, I was being helped in #ubuntu-irc, and I may be an op soon | |
| [05:32] <evanrmurphy> later! | |
| [05:57] <elky> there's got to be a full moon somewhere... | |
| [05:57] <Flannel> Theyre all on the same IP | |
| [05:57] <Flannel> And most of the commotion is just them feeding off of each other | |
| [06:36] <ikonia> I see panarchy has a new ISP transonictravel.com.au | |
| [06:36] <ikonia> well, he's now ircing from his work | |
| [06:41] <elky> ikonia, should i call them, d'ya think? | |
| [06:42] <ikonia> he's been doing it for a while, and I've pondered pointing out their security whole (IRC/mibbit) to them | |
| [06:43] <ikonia> first time his host as had an rdns entry though | |
| [06:43] <elky> have we ever seen a name for him? | |
| [06:44] <ikonia> only ever his fake "Chip D Panarchy" | |
| [06:44] <ikonia> or "Chris Panarchy" | |
| [06:44] <elky> does he have a domain? | |
| [06:45] <ikonia> not that I'm aware of he seems to use free services like panarchy.blog.wordpress.org | |
| [06:45] <ikonia> panarchy.wordpress.org sorry | |
| [06:45] <ikonia> that sort of thing | |
| [08:01] <bazhang> panarchy is simtoon | |
| [08:03] <bazhang> hmm close, but perhaps not | |
| [08:05] <elky> simtoon is the moron who was floating around with the unicode swastica ascii art the other day | |
| [08:05] <bazhang> aha | |
| [08:05] <elky> (iirc) | |
| [08:05] <bazhang> similar IP but not quite the same | |
| [08:05] <bazhang> apologies for jumping the gun | |
| [08:06] <elky> tpgi is one of the largest in australia. they offer close to the cheapest quota | |
| [08:07] <elky> i can also be at their corporate headquarters in 20 mins if I need to :P | |
| [08:08] <bazhang> haha | |
| [08:08] <elky> maybe not quite 20 mins this time of day, but certainly within the hour. | |
| [09:07] <elky> ikonia, sleuth sources say that his name is not chip, and it's unlikely he works there. | |
| [09:59] <dragon> !splash | |
| [09:59] <ubottu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | |
| [09:59] <dragon> !gnome-splashscreen-manager | |
| [09:59] <ubottu> Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | |
| [09:59] <dragon> these factoids need a fix | |
| [09:59] <dragon> por favor | |
| [10:03] <Myrtti> the problem with those factoids are known, we've been discussing them before. | |
| [10:03] <Myrtti> do you have suggestions? | |
| [10:04] <dragon> Myrtti: i'd suggest changing !gnome-splashscreen-manager to "gnome-splashscreen-manager" in the first one | |
| [10:04] <dragon> and getting rid of the second one | |
| [10:05] <dragon> !gconf-editor | |
| [10:05] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gconf-editor | |
| [10:05] <dragon> this one could be assigned a definition | |
| [10:05] <Myrtti> !splash ~= /!gnome-splashscreen/gnome-splashscreen/ | |
| [10:05] <ubottu> I'll remember that Myrtti | |
| [10:06] <Myrtti> so that's the first | |
| [10:07] <Myrtti> "getting rid of the second one" explain | |
| [10:08] <dragon> gconf-editor is a graphical tool used to maintain the GNOME desktop environment registry. For more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GConfEditor | |
| [10:09] <Myrtti> !gconf-editor is <reply> gconf-editor is a graphical tool used to maintain the GNOME desktop environment registry. For more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GConfEditor | |
| [10:09] <ubottu> I'll remember that, Myrtti | |
| [10:09] <Myrtti> !gconf-editor | |
| [10:09] <ubottu> gconf-editor is a graphical tool used to maintain the GNOME desktop environment registry. For more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GConfEditor | |
| [10:10] <Myrtti> dragon: anything else? | |
| [10:11] <dragon> i guess that's it for now | |
| [10:11] <dragon> this is aaditya btw | |
| [10:11] <dragon> see ya around | |
| [10:11] <dragon> and, thanks | |
| [10:16] <Myrtti> oh jesus, people in #ubuntu are doing my head in | |
| [10:16] <Myrtti> TAKE IT AWAY | |
| [10:18] * elky kicks Myrtti from #ubuntu :P | |
| [10:19] <Myrtti> "su root is exactly same thing as sudo so it's ok½½½½§§§§§11111!!!!!!1" | |
| [10:20] * Myrtti goes to smell satsuma potpourri oil | |
| [10:21] <ubottu> FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) | |
| [10:21] <ubottu> FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) | |
| [10:21] <ubottu> FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) | |
| [10:23] <Myrtti> ubottu: tell dragon_ about exploit | |
| [12:50] <bazhang> @mark #ubuntu abdullah ban-evading again | |
| [12:50] <ubottu> The operation succeeded. | |
| [12:50] <Myrtti> http://paste.ubuntu.com/199176/ | |
| [12:50] * Pici was trying to open his browser to check if it was the same person | |
| [12:59] <ikonia> must be his sisterm again | |
| [13:00] <Pici> er.. did ActionParsnip just tell cowgarden to remove the only kernel package he had installed? | |
| [13:01] <Pici> I admit I haven't had all my caffeine yet... | |
| [13:02] <ikonia> ha ha | |
| [13:21] <tsimpson> no more mibbit... | |
| [13:21] <Myrtti> wohoo! | |
| [13:23] <tsimpson> I feel cheated, just when #k gets floodbots mibbit access is removed :p | |
| [13:23] <Pici> Well, theres still the freenode web gateway | |
| [13:29] <tsimpson> shouldn't be difficult to get the bots to work with freenode webchat | |
| [13:30] <Pici> Removed all the stale mibbit exceptions from #ubuntu | |
| [13:33] <Pici> and #kubuntu | |
| [13:34] <ikonia> so it's officially gone | |
| [13:35] <Myrtti_> :-þ | |
| [13:36] <bazhang> no more mibbit? yahoo! | |
| [13:37] <Pici> google! | |
| [13:37] <bazhang> hehe | |
| [13:37] <Pici> Why do people think that do-release-upgrade -d is the proper way to upgrade, I don't get it. | |
| [13:39] <tsimpson> hey, it worked | |
| [13:41] <Pici> it did? | |
| [13:41] <Pici> oh, only for #kubuntu | |
| [13:41] <tsimpson> look in #k | |
| [13:42] <tsimpson> I tested in #k, I should be able to do the floodbots in #u too | |
| [13:42] <tsimpson> unless anyone has any objections? | |
| [13:49] <ikonia> Pici: because people tell them blindly to do it | |
| [13:50] <ikonia> Pici: and -d is needed to get to the development versions so people think it's "the" way to upgrade, not the way to upgade to development versions | |
| [13:50] <Pici> tsimpson: works :) | |
| [13:50] <tsimpson> :) | |
| [13:55] <tsimpson> btw, the bots still work with mibbit (in case it ever comes back) | |
| [14:33] <Pici> !mibbit | fyi | |
| [14:33] <ubottu> fyi: freenode no longer supports connections from mibbit. See http://blog.freenode.net/?p=254 for more details. freenode help in #freenode | |
| [14:34] <genii> Now they need to do something about cgi::irc | |
| [14:58] <Mamarok> !botsnack | |
| [14:58] <ubottu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | |
| [14:58] * Pici sighs | |
| [14:58] <Mamarok> looks a bit silly to me | |
| [14:58] <Pici> It is. | |
| [14:59] <Mamarok> would be ok in -ot, but in a support channel it generates noise IMHO | |
| [15:00] <Pici> !forget botsnack | |
| [15:00] <ubottu> I'll forget that, Pici | |
| [15:00] <Pici> !botsnack-#ubuntu-offtopic is <reply> Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | |
| [15:00] <ubottu> I'll remember that, Pici | |
| [15:01] <bazhang> !helpersnack | |
| [15:01] <ubottu> Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | |
| [15:01] <Pici> Nothing wrong with that. | |
| [15:01] <genii> Hehe | |
| [15:01] <Mamarok> that's ok :) | |
| [15:01] <bazhang> or !opsnack :) | |
| [15:02] <Mamarok> !opsnack | |
| [15:02] <ubottu> Chocolate! And Raisins! And ICE CREAM! ooo! and 60 minutes +m! | |
| [15:02] <bazhang> hehe | |
| [15:02] <Mamarok> wow :) | |
| [15:02] <genii> !prayer | |
| [15:02] <ubottu> Dear $DEITY, Give me strength to understand and work with users who question my logic, the rules, netiquette, and common sense. Give me resilience to teach them the basics of Linux, Ubuntu, Community Guidelines and IRC. Allow me not to stray to nitpicking, argument, foul language, or leisurely op abuse. Deliver me my daily xkcd, User Friendly, LWN, /. and Planet Ubuntu, and guard over my encrypted drives. Let it be so. | |
| [15:03] <Pici> I personally like having some of these funny factoids. | |
| [15:03] <genii> Pici: Me too. It's good to break the tension sometimes | |
| [15:03] <ikonia> some of them are quiet ammusing, I think we went a bit ocerboard sith some of them | |
| [15:08] <Pici> oddness in -offtopic | |
| [15:10] <genii> Pici: Yes, that same hostmask | |
| [15:11] <Pici> genii: different idents, but still odd. | |
| [15:12] <genii> And the lag between their individual chat entries seems suspicious | |
| [15:15] <Pici> Its fine if they're both at the library chatting, but the fact that they won't admit that is problematic. | |
| [15:16] <genii> Their grammar/style is also very suspiciously the same | |
| [15:16] <bazhang> yep | |
| [15:19] <topyli> i wonder what we should do | |
| [15:19] <Mamarok> if their talk is not offensive or such... | |
| [15:19] * Mamarok has a look | |
| [15:21] <genii> In telnet chatsite times I used to do similar messing around. I'd login as genii genii-number-2 genii-number-3 etc etc and have fistfights with myself for fun. | |
| [15:25] <genii> I'm pretty sure thats what they're up to, actually. | |
| [15:25] <genii> Whether it's one or two ppl | |
| [16:28] <Pici> hah: "11:28:44 <?zer0o> the secondo message was "mount: no medium found" is kubuntu trying to talk with his dead granny? | |
| [17:11] <ubottu> ctmjr called the ops in #ubuntu (joejc) | |
| [17:29] <genii> They should probably change that error msg from medium to media | |
| [17:58] <ubottu> Titan8990 called the ops in #ubuntu (CoreyTaylor) | |
| [20:43] <Flannel> Hi McBrain, how can we help you today? | |
| [20:43] <McBrain> hello there | |
| [20:44] <McBrain> in fact I'm not here for help, I just experience something which, I think, could be a security problem. I'd like to talk about that, to be sure, but I don't know the procedure | |
| [20:45] <Flannel> Security problem in Ubuntu? | |
| [20:45] <McBrain> yes | |
| [20:45] <Flannel> Alright, you'll file that just like any other bug, except there's a checkbox to keep it private (since its a security issue) | |
| [20:46] <Flannel> !launchpad | |
| [20:46] <ubottu> Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ | |
| [20:46] <Flannel> hmm | |
| [20:46] <Flannel> !bugs | |
| [20:46] <ubottu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | |
| [20:46] <Flannel> That's a much more helpful factoid | |
| [20:47] <McBrain> ok thank you, I'll do that then | |
| [20:47] <McBrain> I thought that maybe there was some kind of a security channel or something. Even for linux in general | |
| [20:49] <Flannel> There likely is | |
| [20:49] <Mamarok> security bug can and are communicated upstream of course | |
| [20:50] <Flannel> McBrain: The security team is #ubuntu-security, you might try poking around there | |
| [20:52] <McBrain> right, ubuntu-hardened. I didn't thought about that name | |
| [20:53] <McBrain> thank you very much for you time | |
| [22:16] <Flannel> No more mibbit | |
| [22:17] <ubottu> In #ubuntu-mozillateam, fta said: !who is your master? | |
| [22:18] <Flannel> Howdy fta | |
| [22:18] <ubottu> BUGabundo called the ops in #ubuntu-mozillateam () | |
| [22:20] <fta> where should i request support for a new bug tracker? i mean, when i paste an url or foo bug xx, i want ubottu to expand it | |
| [22:21] <fta> (hi) | |
| [22:28] <Flannel> You might try #ubuntu-irc | |
| [22:29] <Flannel> just because no one here who handles that stuff seems active | |
| [22:32] <fta> Flannel, ok, thanks | |
