[02:49] then someone told him just to ask his question [02:49] now he's asking the ether whether or not us mods can hear him [02:50] *sigh* I should be nice and talk, but class is in 10m [02:50] too bad [02:50] some people have a fetish for joining channels and looking for "moderators" just for the sake of doing it [02:51] jdong: just as a warning he's an arse [02:51] ikonia_: oh lovely. [02:51] jdong: he's been banned from #ubuntu about 10,0000 times [02:51] who's that [02:51] kenthomson [02:51] aaah. [02:52] yeah i even have him on highlight, but still missed him in the /who [02:52] ahhh he's complaining that he's banned from the forums now [02:52] LjL: eep [02:52] *shrug* [02:52] he remembers i banned him [02:53] yeah [02:53] shock horror [02:53] some people have a fetish for joining channels and looking for "moderators" just for the sake of doing it. -- Yeah, but they usually ask right afterwords how they can become a moderator/op [02:54] I don't think you're getting that from ken [02:54] sometimes, yes [02:54] no, i don't think either :) [02:54] ikonia_: I know, just giving an example ;) [02:54] [14:54:06] --> tmccrary has joined this channel (n=tmccrary@68.78.185.227). yay! [02:54] I need to put my tags on [02:54] which channel === Pici doesnt know who that is [02:54] a "friend" of mine [02:55] he's actually helping me this time though [02:55] wow you guys are loud [02:55] seveas is funy [02:55] genunily makes me laugh [02:57] LjL: I think there mucst be something in the water, your all on good humour form [02:58] i know, they keep insisting the tap water is fine and better than mineral, but it still tastes weird, i'm sure it's a conspiracy [02:58] I'm laughing in the office, people are wondering what I'm laughing at [03:00] that's a typical side effect of IRC [03:01] yes, but its pleasent [03:03] oh no, not kenthompson [03:03] ha ha ha ha ha [03:03] oh yes [03:04] he been banned from the forums now [03:04] excellent [03:04] ha ha ha [03:05] he's showing maturity by not registering another account [03:05] apparantly [03:05] he thinks he does [03:05] [03:05] I'll be good, put your trust in me, etc etc [03:05] he used to get banned once a week [03:05] and tmccrary too is the usual tmccrary... my reply to him wasn't satisfying, so he suddenly left rather irritated *sigh* [03:06] jdong: get in #ubuntoforums, I want to read more pleas === Pici is *still* reading through kenthompson's bantracker === Hobbsee didnt bother [03:06] oh, this is the one who was arguing with me about common sense, wasnt it? [03:07] He was arguing with you a lot it seems. [03:07] Hobbsee: think of any situation you can of why someone will be banned and ken will have done it so "yes" [03:07] Pici: try without a "p" in the name :P [03:07] LjL: yeah yeah ;) [03:07] ikonia_: heh [03:07] LjL: is he still banned in #ubuntu without the p in his name ? [03:07] Pici: likely [03:07] ikonia_: It was a typo, I was searching in the bantracker w/o the p [03:08] ikonia_, no, he was in there a couple of minute ago [03:08] ahh [03:08] LjL: yeah, I wondered if he'd subtle changed his nick to get in there [03:08] he's always been kenthomson with*out* the P as far as i'm aware [03:08] that's what i have as a highlight and what is in the tracker [03:09] jdong: you fool [03:09] lol was I supposed to pretend I got hit by a bus? :D [03:10] yes jdong is back ! === ikonia_ gets a drink and popcorn === Pici waits patiently [03:10] I wonder when "I've found jesus and will behave" line will be used [03:10] I predict 5 minutes, any takes $$$ [03:10] jdong: you were merely supposed to not be that masochistic :) [03:12] ikonia_: ROFL you're not joking, right? [03:12] thats the only line I've not seen him use, so yeah, I'll take that bet [03:12] its all he has left to plead with [03:12] oh damn, it hasnt been logging [03:13] can someone pastebin me the backscroll, from when he entered? [03:13] Hobbsee: that wave was menecing [03:13] menacing [03:14] [15:11:58] [Whois] freeAgent is n=spamhote@c-71-57-71-252.hsd1.il.comcast.net (David) there's this guy, he had joined before with a 'GotAMD' nickname... he's registered but the ident is kind of weird, i've never seen him say anything [03:14] the Pointy Wave of Doom?

[03:35] jdong how lukcy are you [03:35] lucky [03:36] wow, i'm consistently downloading from the ubuntu servers at a speed in excess of 1mb per second... never happened [03:36] good connection === jdong hugs himself [03:36] yeah but i usually cannot download that fast from my ISP's own servers... and i'm on fiber optics, it shouldn't that much depend on the time of the day! [03:37] besides, shouldn't the ubuntu servers be loaded :o) [03:37] LjL: I've noticed that recently [03:37] LjL: the main ubuntu servers all sped up the past month or so [03:37] not many updates going on though to e honest [03:37] look at the latest, few hearders [03:37] very small [03:38] beta's always like that... [03:38] not many people doing clean installs possibly down to gusty [03:38] headers that should read [03:38] jdong: well i *am* downloading from 4 servers at a time just to make it a faster -- i mean, to spread the load among the servers :) [03:38] LjL: ROFL the last time I said that elmo strangled me :D [03:39] jdong, i'm not afraid of people 20000km away from me strangling me... :P besides, it makes no sense, because one thing is setting up multiple connections to the *same* server, which is a bad thing to do -- another is to concurrently download from *multiple* servers, which really *does* spread the load and actually does them a favor [03:40] LjL: I know your rational and I believe in that too, but the flipside is that it reduces the total number of download slots across all mirrors... and that does not do Ubuntu a favor as a whole [03:40] LjL: unless it's release day, it's a nonissue [03:41] well the number of download slots should depend on the bandwidth taken by each, not be independent of that [03:41] their issue if it is :) [03:42] lol, it's slightly dependent on maximum allowed number of clients though [03:42] also, i *do* it on release day, but merely to seed the torrents fast [03:46] yeah, I do similar too [03:46] and jump on and uncap my upload on 2 or 3 machines === LjL [n=none@81-208-36-87.ip.fastwebnet.it] has joined #ubuntu-ops === LjL-Temp [n=ljl@ubuntu/member/ljl] has joined #ubuntu-ops === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v LjL-Temp] by ChanServ === cdaelior [n=cdaelior@83.230.234.114] has joined #ubuntu-ops [04:25] !ping [04:25] pong === neyvaroal [n=neyvaroa@83.230.233.13] has joined #ubuntu-ops [04:38] ola [04:39] ola [04:39] cual es tu msn [04:39] non.

[05:41] ah gd gd then :) [05:41] ya, but can you come up with something more unique? god, I am starting to hate kids :p [05:41] It already kind of works. [05:41] Thanks a lot :) [05:41] thank you [05:43] PriceChild: I was told irssi was good and better than pidgin, and i tried it, but i like the "everything is allready set up and it just works" thing i get with pidgin, whereas in irssi i had to do lots of configuration to set up highlighting messages with my nick in them etc... [05:43] If you used the clients from ubuntu, i'm pretty sure 8001 is the default port in gaim and you wouldn't have had this problem :P [05:43] Esteth, I'm an xchat man.

[06:00] and, does someone have a pointer to a an exact description of this exploit? [06:00] please. i changed my connect port to 8001. [06:00] !exploit [06:00] 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 [06:00] that web page says -zero- about what the xploit is, and how it works, and what to do about it, thanks, i looked there already. [06:00] "Fix your router" is insufficient information. [06:01] eidolon: the exploit simply involves fooling your router into believing that some strings are DCC commands. since some routers think they're so smart that they can parse IRC commands correctly, but aren't, they crash. [06:01] eidolon, you're unbanned in #ubuntu. [06:01] PriceChild: i got the DCC, nothing happened. [06:01] thankyou. [06:01] LjL, lets try another -r? [06:01] that's interesting. i don't think my router has been crashing. [06:01] though i suppose it's possible. [06:01] eidolon, you _were_ affected earlier. [06:02] thats why you ended up here :) [06:02] noted. was that my router resetting? or something in xchat? [06:02] *nod* [06:03] if this is my router whacking out, i'd like to know it :) i've had problems with my router stopping handing out DHCP leases and if this is the root cause, that'd be nice. === clara [n=usuario@83.230.235.53] has joined #ubuntu-ops [06:03] !ola [06:03] "Hola" tiene una H inicial.

[06:03] eidolon, router reset, although you might not even notice that outside of the IRC connection [06:03] :( [06:03] well i have a ton of stateful connections (VPN on other machines, plus a bunch of ssh connections) [06:04] eidolon, well, maybe on your router only the IRC connection is lost - several different makes are affected, as far as i know [06:04] (sorry if i'm taking up time here, but this is sort of important). how long has this sploit been running? [06:04] i'm running a linksys wrt54g. [06:04] Over a year. [06:04] wow. i've been poking my client because my VPN keeps dropping with them. i wonder if this has been it. [06:05] what is the test? i'm on another irc network, folks are asking how to test for a vulnerability (I run my own IRC network - 4-5 servers) [06:06] i see PriceChild's dcc at me, but i don't know if that had special chars. === morenita [n=aroa@83.230.234.59] has joined #ubuntu-ops [06:06] eidolon, we simply replicate the exploit [06:06] !ola [06:06] "Hola" tiene una H inicial.

I didn't do anything. let me back in please. [08:24] Javid, calm down man, nobody said you did anything [08:24] however, your router is affected by a problem [08:24] I understand that, but it isn't my fault, I don't admin the thing [08:24] and that problem is exploited by malicious people to 1) disconnect your IRC connection and 2) annoy the entire channel [08:24] of course, but you can change the port you connect to IRC from [08:24] And I did that [08:24] then i can test you if you don't mind, and let you back [08:25] ok [08:25] Javid: you seem fine, just hang on a second [08:25] My router has been fine for the last several months, it didn't just spontaneously start sucking [08:26] Javid, it doesn't until people do something special to make it disconnect [08:26] !exploit [08:26] 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 [08:26] Javid: Its an exploit that someone er, exploited in #ubuntu, we noticed and banned the people who were effected. [08:26] LjL, oh yeah another reason we had a while ago for using ips not usernames, is because people sometimes use the same nicks at work and at home [08:26] Javid: if you wish, reconnect to port 6667, and i'll show you without doubt that your router is affected by the problem... but then again [08:26] Well, banning people while they're asleep for something that isn't their fault is really frigging dumb. [08:26] they'd be affected at work, go home, get tested, go to work and get affected the next day [08:27] !exploit | Javid, read it again [08:27] Javid, read it again: 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 [08:27] and please, when you're in your job, or in your house, you can decide what is dumb and what is not [08:27] here, it's up to us to use our best judgement [08:27] Javid, Its not a real "ban", its a way to help you fix a vulnerability in your system so that y ou don't experience this problem again, and so that users of #ubuntu aren't anoyed [08:27] and the only way to make people fix their routers appears to be to confine them to a special channel [08:28] where they can read instructions with calm, while not being bitten by the problem, and fix it [08:28] Javid, we let you back in as soon as we're sure you won't be affected next time.

[10:01] LjL: I would say just edit /var/lib/dpkg/status, but the last time I said that cjwatson killed me [10:01] also this is interesting: it's the output of his "apt-cache show xwinwrap" http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38840/ [10:01] sounds like he screwed up the status file [10:01] it's it quite remarkable [10:01] LjL: yeah, that's DEFINITELY screwed up status file [10:01] er: Ubuntu Core Developers [10:01] ^^ truncation [10:01] jdong, i don't know cjwatson and i never edited a status file... if you could put him in contact, or have a hint [10:02] i can understand "edit the status file", but i'd have no idea what to put in it :) [10:02] LjL: I'm not sure if Colin would appreciate being the status-file-fixing drone particularly during the release cycle... [10:03] and editing the file manually is also beyond my area of expertise [10:03] indeed, i don't even ping people i know about that sort of things, much less so people i don't know [10:03] LjL: there should be a /var/lib/dpkg/status.old file [10:03] wouldn't there be a "regenerate status file" command? [10:03] LjL: have him first back up his current status, then copy status.old onto status [10:03] and see if that solves it [10:04] I had someone with a missing new line in the status file that totally messed up apt as well [10:04] status-old rather [10:04] jdong: uhm i'll try. but i see that, on my box, the *only* difference between status and statu-old is the *one* last package that i installed [10:04] since he already messed up with a couple of apt-get commands, i'm afraid even his status-old is borked now [10:04] LjL: that's my worry too [10:04] Package: readlinE: Handler silently failed [10:05] ^^ looks like multiple problems [10:05] worth a shot though [10:07] do you think there is a difference between the 'status' file and the concatenation of all 'Packages' files from the repositories? [10:07] it looks very much like those to me [10:07] ah well right, it has the... status too [10:07] duh [10:08] LjL: lol if you've installed every package ;-) [10:08] LjL: keescook IIRC posted something on planet recently for reconstructing apt commands from dpkg.log [10:09] jdong: random launchpad googling also gives a "dpkg --clear-avail" suggestion [10:10] http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2007/09/26/stupid-dpkg-tricks-when-fighting-xfs-bugs/ [10:10] that can be used if the status file is too old [10:10] I'm disappointed Debian doesn't rotate and back up a few more status/available files [10:10] that's the achilles heel of APT [10:11] he'd want just install instead of --reinstall [10:11] well, the achilles heel of APT in general is that it doesn't have "memory protection" [10:11] i don't really mean it, but i mean, like a kernel that has memory protection can't be taken down by its processes, APT shouldn't be able to be taken down by its packages [10:12] LjL: APT is indeed weak against badly made packages, along with other mishaps [10:12] that requires dpkg --get-selections to work jdong, and i've just asked him if it does [10:13] LjL: nah, that's just a few of the comments' versions; using a variant of Kees's original method and dpkg.log.*, one can theoretically regenerate all the APT commands ever issued from day zero [10:13] after all... [10:13] effectively regenerating a brand new status file [10:13] perhaps the best bet would be just to have the status file in front of me, and fix it by hand [10:13] and "by ear" [10:13] yeah, perhaps have him e-mail it to you then you can poke at it in an editor [10:13] hm well yes, i see what you mean there [10:14] but i also think it's beyond my greppesed sk1llz [10:14] :P [10:14] mine too :) [10:15] asked him to send status via mail [10:17] excellent [10:18] he's complaining it's too big though, let's see after he gzips... [10:18] (and honestly i have no idea what's the limit on my mailbox either =) [10:18] typically corrupted dpkg status files should NEVER happen unless he has either (a) SIGKILL'ed dpkg/apt (b) done a hard reset while dpkg was running [10:18] and many versions of automatix2 did (a) so..... [10:18] which is my favorite hobby [10:19] i mean, both a and b, depending on my mood [10:19] lol :) [10:19] try to do both at the same itme! [10:19] nah [10:19] i was thinking about disconnecting the IDE cable to the HD while dpkg was running [10:19] lol [10:20] he said he's fixed it [10:20] by manually removing the xwinwarp entry from status [10:21] i'm not entirely sure it was the only thing that had to be fixed, but... he says it works now [10:21] LjL: well that's good I guess, though tell him to erase his memory and never ever mention editing the status file ever again :) [10:21] haha [10:21] apparently it's one of the big deadly Debian sins [10:22] you know it's bad when you get an all-caps message from a TB member! [10:22] haha [10:22] i should perhaps mention to him that he probably has files from that package hanging around [10:22] that will be forgotten for all eternity [10:22] but perhaps he doesn't need to know [10:22] =) [10:22] jdong: what's their stance on adding "exit 0" at the beginning of postinst/postrm scripts? :P [10:23] preferred to editing the status file to deal with dpkg breakage loops [10:23] but of course done with a brain (i.e. manually perform the IMPORTANT actions of the scripts) [10:24] ah good, 'cause i have no idea what else to do with some broken packages from *universe* sometimes. and i'm saying universe, not automatixlolandia or godknowswhat :P [10:24] yeah, Universe sometimes has packages like that, because the less-cared-about packages tend to just be blindly-synced from an arbitrary sid date. [10:26] I remember from some anti-Ubuntu information in Warty days someone did an install/remove test across universe, and on the order of 600 packages failed a simple install/uninstall cycle test. [10:26] jdong: i understand that but i always wondered whether they couldn't do a basic sanity check by performing installation and removal of each package [10:26] i mean, automatically of course, on a dedicated machine [10:26] i'd assume canonical would have one =) [10:26] right; I believe that should be a standard test by the build daemons [10:26] at least try a noninteractive-frontend installtest before calling the build success [10:26] [22:25:52] LjL, moved the deb file when it was installinh? [10:26] ehm [10:27] could this be a valid reason why the status file could break? [10:27] I don't find it terribly plausible [10:27] dpkg should keep an open handle to the file throughout the procedure [10:27] claims he's the only "fishy" thing he did [10:27] it's, even [10:27] though I am not a dpkg expert [10:28] nonetheless, that still sounds like a bad idea :) [10:30] yeah i did tell him that ;) [10:34] this shouldn't be the channel for these things though... === maxamillion [n=adam@ss-5-55.shsu.edu] has joined #ubuntu-ops === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v maxamillion] by ChanServ === winbond [n=winbond@c-76-99-13-234.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-ops [11:03] LjL, so are u going to unban me ?

[11:16] LjL, i have manners but not when an asshole bans me for something thats not even my fault [11:16] you seem to do it with great gusto [11:17] winbond: 1) how could he know it wasn't your fault? people repeat-spamming stuff happens everyday [11:18] winbond: 2) since you still didn't get the point about manners (see "asshole", classified as vulgar and insulting by my dictionary), i'm forced to make you wait until you're calmer === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+o LjL] by ChanServ === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+b %winbond!*@*] by LjL [11:18] winbond: how about not using that language in here please noon is using it to you no need to use it to others === mode/#ubuntu-ops [-o LjL] by LjL [11:18] winbond, you really did miss how to win friends and influence people [11:18] s/noon/noone [11:26] winbond, i *really* must remind you that swearing and personal attacks cannot be tolerated. no matter how upset you may be, if you want a discussion, it has to be a civil one. i suggest you read the links i am about to give you before deciding what to do. === winbond [n=winbond@c-76-99-13-234.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu-ops [] [11:26] bleah [11:26] not worth the trouble [11:26] well you can unmute it === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+o LjL] by ChanServ === mode/#ubuntu-ops [-b %winbond!*@*] by LjL === mode/#ubuntu-ops [-o LjL] by LjL [11:28] aaaah he's also got a "jo momma" real name.

[11:41] Instabin: you seem fine, i'll let you join in a second [11:41] I was fine for ever [11:41] then all of a sudden it changed [11:41] new hardware? [11:41] new location? [11:41] nope [11:41] nope [11:41] Instabin, it seemed like you were affected by the exploit. you quit at the very second with the standard 104 connection reset by peer [11:42] oh [11:42] I had it once before [11:42] Just a crappy dsl connection... [11:43] It was a couple of months ago [11:43] well if you quit at the same time as that d-c-c action you will be removed [11:43] well Instabin, in any case make sure you always connect to port 8001, just in case [11:43] Why does it only effect 6667 [11:43] it certainly can't hurt [11:44] because 6667 is the standard IRC port, and routers look at that one [11:44] and it's a sexier number [11:44] that angular 7, dangling off the end, tempting me .... [11:45] Instabin, bad "closed source" code in the router [11:45] you can't fix it [11:47] Instabin, you could be lucky and the maker fixes it or not [11:47] Instabin, yiou have been asked to fix it in april - august and now [11:48] maybe he is not happy cos he can't get in [11:51] Not unhappy just wounder why it was doing it [11:52] Linksys router [11:52] ompaul^ [11:53] wrt54gs... My old one with dd-wrt died [11:53] there ya go [11:53] Shouldnt the port be change in xchat for gutsy [11:53] i think so [11:53] yes [11:53] Im running gutsy [11:53] it is a router bug [11:53] not xchat [11:54] Instabin, but if you upgraded from feisty, i guess the port wasn't changed [11:54] I didnt upgrade [11:54] hmm well i dunno [11:54] d-cc tries to talk to 6667 and the router has a hissy fit [11:54] Iv been running gutsy... maybe they changed it after i installed [11:54] notpe [11:54] default IRC is 6667 [11:55] how come ubuntu+1 wasnt effected.... [11:55] my WRT54GC never had a problem, I still connect to 8001 and set +C [11:55] what is +C [11:56] stdin ^ [11:56] blocks CTCP [11:56] stops the server from sending to your client (afaik) [11:56] how do i set that [11:57] indeed you don't repy to CTCP [11:57] I think it still lets you receive ctcp to channels tho [11:57] oh [11:58] "You'll still receive CTCP messages sent to a channel you are on, although the network will block your response to them" [11:58] stops hax0rz from ctcp'ing me anyway :p [11:59] lol [11:59] not that they would gain very much knowledge by ctcping you === LjL [n=ljl@ubuntu/member/ljl] has left #ubuntu-ops ["restarting] === LjL [n=ljl@ubuntu/member/ljl] has joined #ubuntu-ops === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v LjL] by ChanServ [11:59] stops bot attacks from flooding you out === LjL [n=ljl@ubuntu/member/ljl] has joined #ubuntu-ops === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v LjL] by ChanServ === coreymon77 [n=coreymon@ubuntu/member/coreymon77] has joined #ubuntu-ops === PriceChild [n=pricechi@149.254.200.226] has joined #ubuntu-ops [12:02] *wonders where his broadband has gone* [12:03] for that matter, where's your cloak [12:03] PriceChild: the Spice Girls, or a different broad band?

[12:26] someone also suggested having a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=251944 oriez, for what it's worth. [12:27] and i *would* try noapic, see the link from ubotu for how. [12:28] i looked at the forums and its look like many people have the same problem but no solution [12:30] oriez, also https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/64125 was suggested [12:30] Launchpad bug 64125 in linux-source-2.6.17 "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!

[12:31] they are not showing a solution [12:31] sometimes one has to do his own research, as not all problems have a ready-made solution.

[12:33] i might even find a answer [12:33] oriez: i can. one solution that's proposed there is disabling the ipw3945 module. i'll tell Ubotu to give you a link on how to "blacklist" modules.

[12:34] oriez, it merely happens after CUPS starts, but i'm not sure it has something to *do* with it [12:34] I would imagine that meant I failed [12:34] NickPresta: correct conclusion [12:35] LjL: I don't see why disabling ipw3945 should be a deciding factor... I have two laptops here that use ipw3945 on dual-core setups without issue [12:35] LjL, give me a moment to check my network list. I thought I changed my port to 8001. Simply setting the server to irc.freenode.net/8001 should do it, correct?

[12:36] oriez, we have that link. [12:36] LjL, okay. Allow me to reconnect again.. [12:36] oriez, two possible fixes for you: [12:37] 1) try adding the "noapic" kernel option to your kernel, it's done like this [12:37] !boot [12:37] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [12:37] 2) if that fails, try blacklisting the ipw3945 module, which is done like this [12:37] !blacklist [12:37] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add blacklist to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type sudo update-initramfs -u [12:37] now oriez, i've gone way too far already. this isn't a support channel [12:37] so try the above, and i'll be glad to hear from you whether it succeeds or fails.
