[09:04] <stdin> you know there's a user in #ubuntu called "holy_shit_a_dra1" ?
[10:54] <ubotu> In #kubuntu, Networkgamer said: !ps3cardreaders is <reply> In ubuntu,in its beta,it started with kernel 2.6.11,and whenever it accessed the media card readers it flooded the console with errors pertaining to it,preventing boot.since then,it has been patched so ubuntu can boot on the ps3,albeit you can not access the media card readers.take note that in dmesg it mentions devices sdd and sde,which are the medai card readers,yet after boot,they dont exist

[12:12] <TheSheep> seems like !rosetta points to a non-exesiting url
[12:13] <Fujitsu> !rosetta
[12:13] <ubotu> rosetta is a Web-based system for translating open source software into any language.  See https://launchpad.net/rosetta/+about
[12:13] <Fujitsu> Ah yes, that won't work.
[12:14] <Fujitsu> s/rosetta/translations/ will work.
[12:15] <TheSheep> Sorry, I don't know anything about translations
[12:16] <Fujitsu> I mean change the rosetta in the URL to translations.

[04:40] <ubotu> channel pingers on the loose in #ubuntu: Hey nalioth, jenda, rob, SportChick, seanw, BearPerson or ompaul! I could use a bit of your time :)
[05:28] <elkbuntu> heh, informative troll
[05:30] <Gary> elkbuntu, lol
[05:30] <Gary> nice an polite too
[06:36] <ompaul> taffy.dreamhost.com blocked 
[06:38] <elkbuntu> ompaul, was it being used by naughty people?
[06:39] <ompaul> elkbuntu, at least one of them
[06:40] <ompaul> elkbuntu, sorry in a language sense if you get my drift 
[06:40] <ompaul> uncalled for abuse
[06:40] <elkbuntu> ompaul, note the cloak, it will have the account name as the username, and email dreamhost to get them larted
[06:41] <ompaul> no interest unless the do it again
[06:41] <elkbuntu> if they're using the default ircII it will have the account name as username anyway
[06:41] <bbrazil> easy to joe-job though

[08:25] <ubotu> r0bby called the ops in #ubuntu
[08:33] <monsoco> so what's the deal getting kicked from #ubuntu
[08:33] <monsoco> ?
[08:35] <nalioth> monsoco: depends on where you ended up
[08:36] <monsoco> #ubuntu-read-topic
[08:36] <mneptok> monsoco: you are susceptible to a known bug in router firmware
[08:36] <nalioth> monsoco: have you followed the instructions in that channels topic?
[08:36] <mneptok> please reconnect to Freenode on port 8001
[08:36] <monsoco> i did
[08:37] <nalioth> monsoco: ok, we'll test
[08:37] <monsoco> what's the deal with this router bug?  what router? 
[08:37] <Pici> !dcc
[08:37] <nalioth> ok, monsoco you can join #ubuntu now and thanks for your patience
[08:37] <nalioth> monsoco: /msg ubotu exploit
[08:38] <ubotu> There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[08:38] <monsoco> yeah i looked at that
[08:38] <monsoco> what routers though? mine? my campus?
[08:38] <nalioth> monsoco: any that use that crapppy firmware
[08:39] <monsoco> is there any way i can figure out which is?
[08:40] <mneptok> monsoco: remove your router from the mix. connect directly mith your machine, /join a client here on 6667 and ask to be tested. if you pass, your router has the crap firmware. if you fail, your router might be fine.
[08:41] <mneptok> s/mith/with/
[08:42] <monsoco> if my router is behind a firewall could it still be my router? ... i have an xubuntu box in between my internet and my router
[08:42] <monsoco> im running firestarter on xubuntu
[08:43] <poningru> yes it could still be your router
[08:44] <monsoco> how?
[08:45] <nalioth> monsoco: what screws people up, is that sometimes the firmware update doesn't fix a thing
[08:49] <monsoco> hmm i still don't really understand what the problem is, even though connecting to 8001 fixes it...what is it about 8001 that fixes this issue?
[08:57] <nalioth> 8001 is not an industry standard irc port
[09:04] <ompaul> monsoco, the router does not expect that protocol to travel over that port so the stupid broken firmware makes it die
[09:04] <ompaul> monsoco, sorry I should restate that
[09:05] <ompaul> monsoco, the router does not expect that protocol to travel over that port so the stupid broken firmware that makes it die on the 6667+-10 does not see the packet and dies
[09:05] <ompaul> monsoco, and does not die (exclude last word last line)
[09:06] <monsoco> im confused 
[09:06] <ompaul> monsoco, there is a broken firewall thing in the router- when you don't go over the port it expects then it works
[09:07] <ompaul> monsoco, so it sits there thinking I must do X when it sees the dcc and is it broken, so it actually kills the connection, when you are on 8001 it knows nothing of the packets
[09:07] <ompaul> monsoco, so it does not disconnect
[09:08] <monsoco> i see
[09:08] <ompaul> monsoco, that is it in a nutshell
[09:09] <ompaul> monsoco, this is where free software wins, we could code the problem out of existence ourselves .. stupid people think that the firmware is a "trade secret" 
[09:09] <ompaul> it is in its eyeballs
[09:09] <monsoco> so you can't replicate the issue on 8001 since my router doesn't think anything of that port, but it has programmed info about 6667 that causes it to behave in certain ways which allows the disconnect issue
[09:09] <ompaul> yes
[09:09] <monsoco> ah
[09:10] <ompaul> monsoco, if I am not very clear is it because I am exhausted I have had a long day most of it fruitless
[09:10] <ompaul> monsoco, cracked a problem in 10 hours that should have taken 5 minutes if I had been thinking straight to start with
[09:11] <ompaul> nalioth, thanks but the glue will make the fruit sticky :)
[09:11] <monsoco> no that's ok, i don't understand a lot of the background with this stuff so that makes it hard to explain to me
[09:11] <ompaul> dew even
[09:12] <monsoco> thanks for the explanation, even if it took a few tries, i appreciate the follow-through ;)
[09:12] <ompaul> monsoco, when brain is sharper then you can get it one :-) 
[09:30] <mneptok> router pixies broke my web
[09:36] <ompaul> mneptok, there are only router gremlins no pixies :)
[09:43] <mneptok> it depends on the brand. the Emerald City Routasaurus WR42 has pixies. and a midsummer night sparks, packets, and elf chunks shower.
[09:44] <mneptok> very erotic.
[09:44] <nalioth> the open-wrt guys have all the pixies
[09:48] <ompaul> or was that marvels
[10:33] <Superkuh_> Can you test the DCC exploit going around? I am having wierd issues, despite changing to port 80001? xchat 2.6.8.
[10:34] <PriceChild> hey Superkuh_ 
[10:35] <PriceChild> 8001, not 80001 ;)
[10:35] <PriceChild> Superkuh_, you're fine :)
[10:35] <Superkuh_> Yes. That was a typo.
[10:35] <PriceChild> You may now rejoin #ubuntu
[10:35] <Superkuh_> Okay. I guess the problems are on my end then.
[10:36] <Superkuh_> Thanks by the way.
[10:46] <shadhoe> I got forwarded to another channel when trying to join ubuntu
[10:46] <PriceChild> shadhoe, what channel?
[10:46] <PriceChild> ahh -read-topic
[10:46] <shadhoe> #ubuntu
[10:46] <shadhoe> yeah
[10:46] <PriceChild> Did you read the topic?
[10:46] <shadhoe> yeah, I dont have a free node server in the ubuntu servers network
[10:46] <ompaul> you do 
[10:47] <ompaul>  yhou are on freenode right now
[10:47] <ompaul> ubuntu network points to a single other network this is it
[10:47] <shadhoe> ah
[10:47] <shadhoe> so should I just change irc.ubuntu.com to chat.freenode.net/8001?
[10:47] <ompaul> no
[10:48] <ompaul> irc.ubuntu.com/8001
[10:48] <shadhoe> ok
[10:48] <ompaul> if it breaks 
[10:48] <ompaul> then they have moved and remove the 8001
[10:49] <shadhoe> oh - btw Im using gnome x-chat
[10:49] <ompaul> not an issue
[10:49] <shadhoe> so I goto edit|preferences, then networks, then to ubuntu servers
[10:49] <shadhoe> goto the servers tab
[10:50] <shadhoe> and I change irc.ubuntu.com to irc.ubuntu.com/8001
[10:50] <PriceChild> yes
[10:50] <shadhoe> but it always trims off the /8001
[10:50] <PriceChild> and then disconnect/reconnect
[10:50] <shadhoe> is that ok?
[10:50] <PriceChild> no...
[10:50] <ompaul> do :8001
[10:50] <PriceChild> shadhoe, use a space instead of the / perhaps?
[10:50] <ompaul> ahh thats the one
[10:50] <shadhoe> colon worked
[10:51] <shadhoe> i thought using / was odd ;)
[10:51] <shadhoe> thanks!
[10:51] <shadhoe> ok
[10:51] <shadhoe> all better?
[10:52] <PriceChild> Looks good :)
[10:52] <shadhoe> cool
[10:53] <shadhoe> thanks :)
