RyanPriorWhat's the deal with the 3 floodbots that flood the room with messages?01:48
RyanPriorIs it a joke?01:48
naliothRyanPrior: flood the room with messages?01:49
naliothwhat are you talking about?01:49
RyanPriornalioth: They keep changing settings and stuff, usually many times in a row, and each one will cause many IRC clients to print lines of text, pushing away the conversations.01:49
naliothRyanPrior: you can safely /ignore them all.01:50
nalioththey are there for channel protection01:50
RyanPriorI assume it's somehow necessary to have 3 of them?01:50
naliothRyanPrior: they are on a failover system.  they are located on 3 differnent boxes01:51
RyanPriorThat's a lot of protection./01:51

ikoniasuperpigs - what a great nick13:45
elkbuntuthe usuario one is a bot net iirc13:46
elkbuntupray tell, did you check any of these against the ban tracker or did you just mass select?13:47
elkbuntuhttps://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/bans.cgi?query=usuario&kicks=on&oldbans=on&bans=on&oldmutes=on&mutes=on for example13:49
elkbuntuoh, and i just notice now, you removed two forwards to -read-topic, so trolls will have fun next time they exploit while they're in the channel13:57
LjLAmaranth, the floodbot should *not* give pasters two chances. rather, it should mute and keep the mute on *until they've finished pasting*. if the mute is removed earlier, then there's either crazy lag on freenode, or a bug in the algorithm14:11
LjL... but in the case at hand, i suppose that guy actually stopped flooding on purpose, to get unmuted.14:13
elkbuntuwhoa, had more than i thought14:21
LjL!latest14:24
ubotuCommon Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.14:24
LjL!-latest14:24
ubotulatest is <alias> sense - added by Seveas on 2006-06-19 13:43:1914:24
LjL!highno14:24
ubotuA higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.14:24
LjL!no latest is <alias> highno14:25
ubotuYou are editing an alias. Please repeat the edit command within the next 10 seconds to confirm14:25
LjL!no latest is <alias> highno14:25
ubotuI'll remember that LjL14:25
LjLstdin: he's right about it, the release notes confirm14:28
stdinLjL: well if it's not even in debian unstable, there's not a lot one can do except try the .deb (can be dangerous) or compile14:30
LjLstdin: of course. but if one has a valid reason, i'm not totally against taking such risks (as long as one *understands* there are such risks, that is)14:32
stdinLjL: agreed on that point14:33
robot_jesusweird, why did kubuntu kick me to  here14:51
jpatrickrobot_jesus: one sec14:51
LjLrobot_jesus: i don't know, but let me check14:51
LjL!language | robot_jesus14:52
uboturobot_jesus: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.14:52
LjLwere you aware of that policy of ours?14:52
LjLmeh, i can't make cat read from stdin.14:54
stdincat << EOF14:54
LjLstdin: oh right, i'm such a fool.14:55
jpatrickLjL: well, he'll know best14:55
LjLindeed that was merely a covert way to highlight him...14:55
stdincat should understand "-" too, so "echo 1|cat -" will work14:56
LjLstdin, don't waste your brain and just look above :P14:56
ikoniadidn't think you could echo into cat14:56
ikoniadoes work though14:56
LjLstdin: you can just do "echo 1 | cat" for that matter, cat reads from stdin by default14:57
ikoniayes14:57
LjL"cat" with no arguments reads from stdin and writes to stdout14:57
ikoniadidn't seem obvious14:57
stdinyeah, btu you can do "echo --- | cat file1 - file2" to get a nice separator :)14:57
LjLoh sure :)14:57

Jack_SparrowNothing listed there...16:28
LjLelkbuntu: anyway *.ni shouldn't have anything to do with the "bad" prez?16:28
Jack_SparrowLjL: Odd that even after you allowed him he did not join.. (Prez)16:28
LjLJack_Sparrow: he was busy changing his nickname to something that nickserv would allow him to register16:29
LjLand after he did, the ban exemption i gave him wouldn't work anymore16:29
LjLsince it was bound to the nickname "prez"16:29

PriceChildiostat, could you change your quit message please?19:43
jpatrickwhat's the policy on banning if ban is evaded?19:51
PriceChildjpatrick, ban again19:51
PriceChildjpatrick, try and talk to them in pm19:51
PriceChildjpatrick, infact...19:52
PriceChildjpatrick, talk to them *before* banning again.19:52
PriceChildTry and sort things out first, half the time they don't realise what's happenned.19:52
jpatrickPriceChild: I think this guy's a special case (evsa)19:53
PriceChildIf its malicious ban evading then just fight it.19:53
PriceChildban again19:53
iostatI would change it if I knew how.19:54
iostatKinda new to the whole IRC thing.19:54
PriceChildiostat, obviously not.19:54
iostathow so?19:54
PriceChildiostat, No client has that quit message by default. You have changed it yourself already.19:54
iostatTHat is true, but I thought I changed it for that session only.  I issued a quit command with the text in question.19:55
iostatDidn't realize it would persist19:55
iostatI don't know how to change it without quitting.19:55
PriceChildiostat, it may not be persistant, i haven't seen another quit from you19:56
crdlbyou may have just quit with that message once, the problem is just that it showed up in #ubuntu19:56
PriceChildiostat, if you can promise it won't show up again i'll remove the ban19:56
iostatOh...19:56
iostatThat's why I can't get into the room?19:56
PriceChildYes.19:56

jpatrick+100020:39
* LjL wonders why he excess flooded20:40
jpatrickdo we have to reply to /msg's?20:43
jpatrickcos I have better things to do20:44
LjLjpatrick: are you kidding?20:45
LjLhell no.20:45
LjLtell him to come to the ops channel if he has complains20:45
LjLand that's it20:45
LjL(not *this* ops channel though please... the -es one if you have it, or -irc otherwise)20:45
LjL(i think you guys really should have an ops channel anyway)20:45
jpatrickI tried making one, it was considered unecessary due to the size of the channel20:46
LjLmaybe... but you do seem to have both disagreements among ops, and people wanting to appeal20:48
LjLso it's something to consider imho20:48
LjLmeanwhile anyway, if you don't feel like replying to PMs, just don't20:49
LjLjpatrick: remember there is a /silence command on freenode20:49
LjL(although i personally prefer soft-ignore)20:49
jpatrickLjL: yeah, I've opted for the soft-ignore20:49
naliothLjL: lots of crap clients try to /names on connect.  if the person has a lot of large channels on autojoin, this can flood them off20:51
naliothand yeah, i don't think any ops should use /silence or /ignore20:51
LjLnalioth: why would they /names? the NAMES list is given *automatically* by the server when a channel is joined20:51
LjLnalioth: uhm, i think /silence is fine... as an op, you can still see whatever's going on in the channel, but you don't have to be verbally abused in a query and put up with it20:52
naliothLjL: as i said "crap clients"20:52
LjLalthough i still prefer to exercise the force of will to just avoid replying to the insults20:52
LjLbut that's just me20:52
naliothLjL: but what if your query abuser is giving you good info?20:52
LjLnalioth: what good info would that be? "hey, my other friends is going to flood the channel in 5 minutes"?20:53
naliothLjL: what if (heaven forbid) your query abuser says 'hi [your real name], i know where you live and am gonna visit you with malfeasance in mind' ?20:53
naliothand yes, this has happened20:53
LjLnalioth: oh sure, i've been told that.20:54
naliothLjL: but your real name is listed in your info20:54
LjLnalioth: what if they said that? they're mostly in other jurisdictions and sane enough to not leave evidence of themselves saying that20:54
naliothLjL: i know people who have been so threated and the person followed through20:55
LjLi solve that by listing my real name in the real name field of my client ;)20:55
LjLusually i'm just threatened of being DoSed20:55
LjLbut once i *did* have my real name given to me, which was quite a surprise given i had it *not* publicly given back then...20:56
LjLwhich a couple of unpleasant threats20:56
LjLthey did not follow through at least :)20:56
LjLi was pretty scared about them knowing my realname though, i must admit20:56
LjLstill don't know how they managed that... perhaps they were using google and i was still using altavista ;)20:57
jpatrickLjL: Launchpad20:57
LjLjpatrick: err no, i'm talking about something waaay earlier than launchpad20:58
jpatrickaha20:58
LjL*now* my realname is listed on my /whois20:58
LjLi'm talking about another irc network, in 1999 or so20:58
LjLanyway - that's a good point, but still it's the operator's business IMHO20:59
jpatrickany reason for +o on #kubuntu? :)20:59
LjL /ignore is bad because the operator can't then see what's going on in the *channel*20:59
PriceChildI've just added Jack_Sparrow to the access list of #ubuntu. Looking forward to seeing his20:59
LjLwhether or not they want to know what goes on in their *queries* should be their choice20:59
PriceChildgah meant to press backspace there...20:59
naliothLjL: you repelling boarders?20:59
LjLjpatrick: i must have forgot that from yesterday20:59
jpatrickhehe21:00
PriceChildLooking forward to seeing him further his contributions to #ubuntu and yes, just a fyi21:00
LjLnalioth: just forgot it on for hours21:00
PriceChildHello there Crysis :)21:02
PriceChildHow can I help?21:02
Crysishello21:03
Crysiswell first21:03
Crysisdo you speak spanish21:03
Crysis??21:03
LjLjpatrick, grrrr21:04
jpatrickLjL: I didn't do anything21:04
LjLCrysis: un poquito. podemos irnos a #ubuntu-irc, onde es mas tolerado no hablar ingles?21:04
stdinLjL: heh, the last place I can see you getting +o is Jan 14 23:58:55 UTC21:04
LjLstdin: eh, can't have been that far away in the past :P let me check21:05
LjLjpatrick, i guess you and your fellow -es ops may want to join -irc...21:06
LjLstdin: [Tue Jan 15 2008] [00:58:58]21:06
LjLwow, anyway.21:06
stdinLjL: is that UTC or?21:07
LjL+121:07
LjLso yes it's yours21:07
LjLpartly my fault21:07
LjLbut partly the fault of whoever did not deop me :P21:08
stdinI can't believe I didn't notice actually21:08
stdinmeans I haven't looked at the user list in at least that long.21:08
LjLwell, if someone did *that*, then i cannot be blamed at all. :P21:09
ikoniaevening all21:10
ikoniaI'd appriciate an opinion on something thats being dicussed in #ubuntu21:14
PriceChildWhat's up?21:14
ikonianothing up21:14
ikoniaI just think I'm being dumb21:14
ikoniasomeone is arguing that there machine is at %100 cpu due to folding at home clients and their machine is "lagging" I've suggeted that %100 cpu is not good and will effect your desktops behaviour and he's stating "it's always been like that and never lagged"21:15
ikoniaI can't accept that21:15
ikoniaor am I missing something21:15
LjLerr ikonia, i think you're missing something21:15
ikoniaam I ?21:15
ikoniawhat21:15
ikoniaI do'nt understand how that can be "ok"21:15
ikoniaif his cpu is %100 it will queue for time21:15
ikoniaeg: things will respond slow21:16
LjLikonia: if there is a process being scheduled *with a low priority* (such as is often the case with SETI and the like), it shouldn't affect other processes21:16
LjLif it's got the lowest priority of all processes, it shouldn't affect the response of anything, at least in theory (then linux works slightly differently but)21:16
LjL(since nice levels are not really priorities per se)21:16
ikoniaLjL: I can accept nice levels give priority, but if something is hogging %100 the process of interupting - re-allocating cpu to $X process, then resuming is surly an over head21:17
ikoniaanything running at %100 will have an effect21:17
ikoniaagain, or am I not getting how this client works21:17
LjLikonia, yes, any effects will be purely in terms of additional context switching overhead however, not any queueing of "real" processing stuff21:18
LjLsure, context switches *will* have an impact on a real system21:18
ikoniayes, sorry, that was perhaps a bad description on my time21:18
LjLbut it wouldn't surprise me if that were pretty negligible in practice21:18
ikoniaeg: the wait time will spike21:18
ikoniaI've never run folding, so I don't know how this client uses resouces apart from the users description21:19
LjLikonia: but why? don't many systems (not sure about linux) implement idleness by having an "idle" process that just, well, does nothing all the time (aside from perhaps sending "go to sleep mode" instructions to the CPU)?21:19
LjLa busy loop that is21:19
LjLsure, such a busy loop would probably not have any memory allocated, so there's hardly any swapping going on ever, and also changing the VM tables is easier than in other cases probably, but still21:20
ikoniajust pondering what you've said.21:21
LjLikonia: this about it this way. the kernel is waken up every n seconds (well, fractions of a second) by an interrupt. n might be smaller than the maximum time quantum that a process is allowed to run for while other processes are in a ready state21:23
Seveasis there any freenode staff available for a channel request?21:23
ikoniaLjL: that bit I understand21:23
LjLhowever, if the running process is the lowest possible priority, the system will conceivable take its "running" status away from it even if its quantum has not yet expired21:23
LjLso, after n, any ready higher-priority process will be run21:24
Seveas@lart ompaul21:24
LjLwhether or not a lower priority process was previously executing21:24
Dave2Seveas, what sort?21:25
LjLikonia: mind, i'm not really talking about linux in particular here, of which i don't really know the details - just an "ideal" generic round-robin+priorities timesharing system21:25
SeveasDave2, dropping a vacant channel registered 3.75 years ago, owner last seen almost 3 years ago21:25
* ompaul lags - is that not larts enough21:25
ompaulping me21:25
ikoniaLjL: I suspose the effect on the machine will depend on how often higher processes are waking and sleeping21:25
Dave2Seveas, which?21:26
Dave2(PM if you want)21:26
Seveaswas about to ask ;)21:26
ikoniaLjL: excellent food for thought21:27
LjLikonia, but that will only affect how efficiently "SETI" (let's just call it that way - the background, CPU intensive process anyway) will be run, not how efficiently *other*, higher-pri, processes will be run.  these will have the CPU at their disposal after at most "n", regardless of whether SETI is running21:27
LjLikonia: of course, if SETI also takes an amount of memory that prevents efficient file caching (say) or that even makes the kernel swap other processes out... the whole thing changes completely21:28
ikoniaLjL: no, I'm not talking high ram usage - just pure cpu in this example21:28
LjLbut in the framework of a CPU intensive, zero I/O usage, small-memory footprint background program, it should hold21:28
LjLikonia: see it this way. why would a high-pri process suddenly need to wake up? well, ultimately because of an interrupt. because i pressed a key, for instance. when that happens, the kernel is *immediately* called, and if it's not stupid, it *immediately* handles the interrupt21:32
LjLikonia: all it has to do is to context switch to the process that needs to be awaken. which does take some time... but it would take time even if it had to switch to it from "nowhere"21:33
ikoniaLjL: nice desciption21:33
ikoniaLjL: thank you, some more research on actually how this is handled in more detail is needed21:35
LjLikonia, actually understanding how it's handled *in linux* is probably a nightmare. the linux scheduler is, for the little i know... uhm, slightly complicated.21:36
LjLi mean, it's probably interesting research to do, i personally don't feel in the mood though ;)21:36
ikoniaLjL: I've done work with the scheduler before when looking at kswapd issues a while ago, so perhaps it's now time to go deeper21:36
stdinhmm, why is yacc always in -unregged?21:37
Seveasstdin, that nickname rings a rather disturbing bell....21:38
stdinSeveas: he always seem to join there, for no good reason I can tell21:39
ikoniaLjL: +1 drink21:40
LjLstdin: a question i often asked21:40
ikoniathank you21:40
LjLikonia: discovered something interesting?21:40
LjLSeveas: can you focus which bell it is?21:41
LjLi have been disturbed by his joining -unregged for a long time now.21:41
SeveasLjL, not immediately21:41
ikoniaLjL: not yet, you've just prompted me to check a few things out21:41

nealmcbHere is a new factoid for ubotu, based on the server team meeting just now:   ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See the plans for Hardy in  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EboxSpec22:42
nealmcband the factoid for webmin can then point to !ebox22:43
ikoniaughhh another webinterface tool for running a server22:43
TheSheepthey should add autoruining functionality like fedora :)22:43
nealmcbikonia:  yeah.  but we get questions about webmin all the time, and this is the direction we've chosen.22:45
ikoniaI appriciate that22:45
ikoniaperhaps I'm a little tired of the hand holding all the distros's seem to do22:45
ikonia"I want to run a server, but I need a web interface as I don't know anyhting about it - this is for my friends business"22:46
ikoniaI sometimes wonder if we are spoonfeeding/bum wiping too far22:46
PriceChildThere's a fine line.22:46
ikoniatotally22:46
nealmcbso long as we don't bite off more than we (and they) can really chew....22:47
ikoniawasn't suggesting it was wrong, just seems to be moving more and more away from actually having to do anything22:47

Thugacationgoofs22:58
PriceChildI'm already talking to him in pm.22:58
PriceChildsuggested he come here to appeal ban etc..... ah well22:59
Thugacationhi id like to contest some b&'s22:59
SeveasThugacation, caling us goofs is not the way to do that22:59
PriceChildbans?22:59
Thugacationok well first off23:00
PriceChildThugacation, I have explained to you the reason you were banned in #ubuntu-offtopic in pm. Do you want me to explain it again in public?23:00
Thugacationwho in here can help me install linux23:00
PriceChildThugacation, this is not a support channel.23:00
Thugacationyou said you banned me for asking questions23:01
Thugacationthere i said it publicly23:01
PriceChildNo.23:01
Thugacationbig weight off my shoulder23:01
PriceChildYou were banned from #ubuntu for some reason. In my opinion that means that you do not deserve to join #ubuntu-offtopic, expect support and disrupt the channel with what I considered trolling.23:02
PriceChildI gave you multiple warnings.23:02
PriceChildInfact I also answered several of your questions, whilst warning you.23:02
Thugacationok so basically23:03
Thugacationbeing banned from one channel automatically qualifies you to be banned from other channels for no reason23:03
PriceChildThat is not what I said.23:03
Thugacationand it sways your opinion on my asking questions to be interpreted as "trolling"23:03
Thugacationwow weak system23:03
PriceChildYou were banned from our support channel. That means that you should not deserve to expect support in our offtopic channel.23:03
SeveasThugacation, if you continue with the same behaviour on other channels, I see no reason not to apply the same banning rules23:03
PriceChildI would not have acted the same way to you if you weren't already banned in #ubuntu23:04
white_eagleplease change the modes in #ubuntu-offtopic!?!23:05
PriceChildwhite_eagle, pardon?23:05
white_eaglenormal people can't talk23:06
PriceChildask Seveas politely23:06
white_eaglejust oped/voiced users23:06
white_eagleI asked him, he didn't say anything23:06
white_eaglebye23:06
Thugacationexactly my point23:07
ThugacationPriceChild>I would not have acted the same way to you if you weren't already banned in #ubuntu23:07
Thugacationso basically me being banned for a stupid reason sways your opinion of me automatically23:07
Thugacationans Seveas, i was banned in #ubuntu for asking how much they are getting paid to offer linux support to random people23:08
Thugacationdid not know that warranted a ban23:08
PriceChildThugacation, i have no idea why you were banned in #ubuntu. In my mind that is irrelevant.23:09
Thugacationno actually it's not irrelevant23:09
Thugacationbecause you just said23:09
ThugacationPriceChild>I would not have acted the same way to you if you weren't already banned in #ubuntu23:09
Thugacationintellectual checkmate23:09
PriceChildWhat mattered to me was the fact that "you were banned in #ubuntu"23:09
PriceChildNOT "you were banned in #ubuntu because..."23:09
PriceChildSo Thugacation, the ban in #ubuntu-offtopic will not be lifted at this time.23:22
Thugacationwhy not23:22
Thugacationjust do it23:22
Thugacationand then lift the one in #ubuntu-offtopic23:22
Thugacationi mean the one in #ubuntu23:22
Thugacationhow can i appeal a ban to the person who banned me anyway23:22
Thugacationhe's obviously not going to do it23:22
Thugacationthis is corrupt23:23
naliothThugacation: is there something else we can help you with?  you've just been appealing the ban23:23
* PriceChild looks up the #ubuntu ban.23:23
Thugacationyeah i need help installing linux23:25
naliothThugacation: try ##linux23:25
Thugacationbut specifically ubuntu23:27
CrysisI can help you Thugacation23:28
naliothCrysis: this is not a support channel.23:28
naliothCrysis: if you have no business here, you shouldn't idle  ;)23:28
SeveasThugacation, well you've ruined your chances at #ubuntu support yourself, that's not our responsibility23:28
Crysisok23:28
SeveasCrysis, that was a polite way of saying: please leave. No idlers in this channel23:29
Crysisbut23:29
naliothpressenter: is there something we can help you with?23:30
CrysisI only try to help23:30
naliothariel_: is there something we can help you with?23:30
naliothJ-_: is there something we can help you with?23:30
Thugacationyou guys never understand23:30
naliothThugacation: if there is nothing else, please respect our 'no idling' policy.  the ban will expire soon enough23:31
J-_Well, I was submitting factoids a couple days ago, and it seems they're not added. Otherwise, that's it.23:31
J-_Have a good one23:31
PriceChildJ-_, submit them agian, maybe we missed them23:31
PriceChild./msg J-_ submit them agian, maybe we missed them23:32
Thugacationi know the ban will expire23:32
Thugacationpricechild tried to tell me they didnt23:32
Thugacationbut i know what im talking about23:32
pressenternalioth: No, not really, i'm an op from #ubuntu-pl, came here to discuss one matter and stayed here ever since. ;)23:32
PriceChildI said they aren't lifted automatically after 24 hours.23:32
LjLThugacation: want to bet money that your ban won't expire in the next year?23:32
Thugacationit wont expire if you physically keep renewing it or something23:33
LjLThugacation: "or something", yes, you have no clue at all.23:33
LjLlook23:33
* no0tic bets too23:33
LjLcome back in a week or so23:33
LjLdiscuss the matter civilly23:33
LjLand your ban will conceivably be lifted23:34
LjLyou have shown way too much of a troll attitude for me to consider the matter right now23:34
LjLcome back when you're calmer23:34
LjLand more rational23:34
