LjLjdong: yeah, indeed. even without knowing anything about PAM, it's pretty clear that you're using *two* commands that do essentially the *same* thing, and that cannot be a good thing00:00
jdong:)00:01
ompaulLjL, this is not maths with two operators negating the function of each other, it might be better to consider this, command argument, pipe next command, this is usual, therefore it is just ugly ;-)00:01
mneptok"sudo su" add the "oh! i GET it!" factor for people accustomed to su.00:01
mneptokone of whom i just had the phone, and she had that exact epiphany :)00:01
mneptok+on00:01
ompaulmneptok, interestingz00:02
PriceChildLjL, I think the bots messaging users in caps saying "READ WHAT I *ahem*ing SAID ALREADY!!!" if they say anything other than "test me" would be good.00:02
LjLcat #ubuntu-ops.log | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | grep ugly | grep ugly | grep ugly | cat00:02
ompaulmneptok, but what was she using sudo su with epiphany for ;-) seems strange unless she was rooting the splinternet00:02

PriceChilddruke, go back to the channel, and read what they said.00:03
LjLdruke, it didn't fail.00:03
Picidruke: the tests take a minute.00:03
drukedruke: Sorry, you'll have to wait a little longer, we are experiencing problems00:04
ompauldruke, you are still waiting on yours00:04
LjLalthough bot2 shouldn't speak00:04
drukeah ok it was misleading00:04
LjLdruke: yeah, that just mean you have to wait a little longer.00:04
drukethanks :)00:04
PriceChilddruke, how was it misleading? All feedback is welcome.00:04
drukewell it seemed like a "try again later" msg00:04
PriceChild"seemed"?00:04
ompaulLjL, append, you are in a queue to be tested00:05
PriceChildhmm ok00:05
LjLompaul: well, actually, they've already been tested when that message shows up00:05
ompaulyou will be told this every 120 seconds until you are tested00:05
drukeit wasn't specific to what you'd have to wait longer on, the actual program, or a chance to try again00:05
ompaulLjL, so say we are awaiting results please wait00:05
drukeanyways thanks :D00:05
ompaulmneptok, so she really wanted sudo sue00:06

LjLi do wonder why on earth bot2 said that00:06
PiciFloodBot2 has become self-aware?00:07
LjLdunno mebbe00:07
naliothoh SH***!!00:07
LjLthe code does say that only bot1 should ever say that00:07

LjLi can confirm that00:13
LjLme too00:13
ompaulLjL, :)00:13
PriceChildLjL, fb2 still doesn't like giving quit messages :)00:18
LjLPriceChild it's not bot2, it can be bot1 as well... or any of my clients... it's freenode being annoying, really00:19
PriceChild:P00:19
PiciLjL: are the bots whispering the paste info to the users now? or did it just fail to do !paste in #ubuntu just now?00:21
LjLPici, they don't send any message (either public or private) during emergencies, since a little simulation showed that, in the case of an attack, the floodbot could easily be exploited to flood the channel a *lot*00:22
PiciAh.00:22
LjLand this was an emergency, since they had just joined00:22
PiciOkay00:23
PriceChildompaul, lenswipe got my msn off the forums00:24
PriceChildompaul, been constantly asking for help00:25
PriceChildi've been doing my best but eventually just pointed him to irc00:25

PriceChildI have a line in my sig saying "Don't pm mods for support"00:25
PriceChildi pointed him to it00:25
PriceChildit had no effect00:25
ompaulcos he reads like either (A) troll00:25

LjLi hoped you all would but you have no courage00:57
ompaulGary, that person said two lines, first time they were told they were offtopic, second time00:57
ompaulwell I saw the situation was useless00:57

ompaulGary, I figure they collect them01:00
ompaulbut that is just me01:00
LjLuhmmm second time (that i see) that the bots don't notice spammers01:01
ompaulLjL, read the screen there was another message in between01:03
ompaulLjL, you need to terminate the session after a number of seconds not number of lines01:04
LjLompaul, that shouldn't matter01:04
LjLi do01:04
LjLi store the last time everybody sent a message01:04
ompaulcheck the count01:04
LjLthen when they send another message, i check how long it was between one and the other01:05
LjLif less than <short amount of time> passed, i count++01:05
LjLwhen count==5, i warn, when count==6, i mute01:05
LjLthis time not only floodbot3 but the others too simply ignored the whole thing01:05
LjLalthough it was well within the time limits01:05
Jack_SparrowGary: Can you tell me how long I have had this nic registered?01:05
LjLJack_Sparrow: /ns info jack_sparrow01:06
Jack_SparrowCool almost 2 years01:06
PriceChildlooks like i stalked you onto irc01:07
Jack_SparrowI cant even remember my old nick01:08
Jack_SparrowPriceChild: I had a good chat with jrib...  That is an interesting project they have going...  Lots of potential...  I rewrote the script to append everything I was looking at into a single file and now seeing if I can rework canoe source code to see if I can get it to upload my file to a pastebin01:13
LjLJack_Sparrow: for it to be useful you need it in universe (ideally in main and installed by default, but). which would, aside from probably involving packaging it, mean it's not a hack ;P which in turn means that you probably should rework the *upstreamdev* source code, and make it work with kayak as well as canoe (and the plain console version too)01:17
=== no0tic_ is now known as no0tic
Jack_SparrowLjL: I see your point, but atm I am just playing with it to get a feel for what all can be done...  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53487/01:19
Jack_SparrowI certInly do not want to upset anyone who is or was already working on the project01:20
LjLJack_Sparrow: i'm sure they wouldn't mind an addition to their team though, especially considering the project hasn't seemed very active lately01:21
Jack_SparrowJust wanting to tread lightly...01:22
Jack_SparrowLjL: I see where they were going, I simply would have gone for something more basic and built on that.01:23
Jack_SparrowLjL: Have a great weekend, my wife will be back home from the desert soon and we have a housewarming to attend.  I will play with the code over the weekend.01:26

jussi01hey someone with editing rights, !variant should alias !derivatives09:45
daviesjussi01: no, I think LjL did that, Kubuntu is not a derivative for example :)09:45
jussi01davies: it should be that variants are mint, mce etc, and derivatives are kubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntustudio etc. If you disagree, see: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/derivatives09:48

daviesjussi01: I wrote that!09:56
jussi01davies: really? well I disagree. :)09:57
daviesjussi01: Kubuntu is not a derivative because it uses the same base as ubuntu09:57

Seveaswell, you've lost all credibility already here and you're not going to beleive that I'm reasonable17:02
Seveasso other ops are what you need17:02
Seveasnone seem to be active now though17:02
emmaI've obviously offended you and I take responsibility for that and I am sorry for  venting my frustration in an inappropriate forum. I think it's true that a support forum is not a good place for me to say I wish Ubuntu was easier to use just for my particular frustrating experience which was just in the last four hours. I acknowledge that.17:03
emmaBut since I have been using #ubuntu for many many many months and have helped people when I can, I think it is fair to say that this is a very isolated and relatively minor thing and I'm not a troll.17:04
emmaI do believe you are a reasonable person or you would not have become an op in #ubuntu. I do trust that you are and that's why I'm speaking to you here.17:05
SeveasI'm just going to repeat what I said in PM:17:05

tomawthose floodbots seem to do odd things on netsplits ...20:25
LjLtomaw: why odd?20:25
Cpudan80So I was just wondering why 3 flood bots?20:26
Cpudan80Is it just in case several die at once?20:26
LjLCpudan80: it's mostly in case of netsplits20:26
tomawLjL: they -J'd the channel (was it +J?), opped two of themselves and the deopped themselves.20:26
tomawLjL: in fact, floodbot1 -J'd twice.20:26
Cpudan80Oh20:27
LjLtomaw, Cpudan80: +J behaves badly on server deaths (and a server death is just a netsplit where you later discover that the server, well, die)20:27
Cpudan80Yeah i know that20:27
LjLso when the bots detect a netsplit, they try to obtain +o as hard as they can20:27
LjLand they -J20:27
Cpudan80##windows got into +J hell a while back when freenode was under attack20:27
tomawIt should only cause a problem if a server actually dies20:27
Cpudan80We kept having to -J the room but every time the servers came back online - they would +J it again20:27
LjL3 are not "needed", but the more we have, the higher the chances -J will be set on every server20:27
tomawSplitting from the net and coming back again should join any number of users through +J20:28
LjLtomaw: and how would i tell the difference between a server dying and a server simply splitting20:28
tomawLjL: you can't20:28
LjLexactly20:28
LjLso i -J20:28
tomawyou could detect that it's not +J though20:28
LjLtomaw: i do20:28
Cpudan80Is the normal state for #ubuntu +J ?20:28
LjLtomaw: the fact that bot1 set it twice well, that one is a bug20:28
LjLCpudan80: yes20:28
tomaw:)20:28
Cpudan80Oh ok20:29
naliothCpudan80: the 3 bots are a failover plan20:29
Cpudan80So what is running the bots?20:29
LjLsort of...20:29
Cpudan80Python, Java ?20:29
naliothCpudan80: they run on different folks' computers20:29
Cpudan80nalioth: right but I mean, what language20:29
tomawLjL: what's the theory behind reacting on a split that involves so few users?20:29
jpatrickCpudan80: PHP I think20:30
Cpudan80oh PHP - nice20:30
LjLtomaw, formerly i reacted on only big (>50 users or so) netsplits, but i changed that later... i'm not sure which way is best to be honest20:30
Cpudan80How many users were hit by that?20:31
tomawreacting on two users splitting off is quite spammy :)20:31
tomawtwo in #ubuntu20:31
Cpudan80But are you sure 2 users is a netsplit though? Maybe they just quit at the same time?20:31
LjLCpudan80: look at the quit messages20:32
PriceChildCpudan80, quit messages20:32
Cpudan80oh no the quit message20:32
Cpudan80I see20:32
tomaw:)20:32
Cpudan80And why the hell am I on brown.freenode.net20:32
Cpudan80I thought I removed that one20:32
tomawapparently not20:32
LjLCpudan80: if you connect to irc.freenode.net...20:32
Cpudan80brown is my failover server --- but I guess I could have been stuck onto it by irc. ...20:33
LjLtomaw: well, see, the problem here is: either i react when i see a netsplit quit message (so, any netsplit), or i react when the amount of users is very different from the amount of users one unit-of-time (one minute, currently) ago20:33
LjLtomaw: doing the latter thing has drawbacks, too20:33
tomawLjL: react after x netsplit quits?20:33
LjLtomaw: for instance, it results in -J being set during attacks, if the attackers can manage to make more than $threshold users quit20:33
LjLtomaw: that's one more counter to keep but i suppose it could be done20:33
LjLtomaw: anyway the bots also -J when chanserv lags. that also causes some spam20:34
LjL(yes, it lags often enough)20:34
LjL(its lag pretty often being a pre-symptom of a netsplit to come)20:34
tomawIndeed, services will lag if a channel is being flooded, mass joins etc20:34
tomawPeronsonally I would keep floodbots opped20:35
LjLtomaw: all of them? no, can't do that unless i change them completely20:35
LjLtomaw: they have no idea which one of them is opped20:35
tomawWell, anti-floodbots anyway ;)20:35
PriceChildbut then they need to communicate and decide on who does some of the other actions20:35
PriceChildi guess it could be done so that only floodbot1 does things... whichever that one is?20:35
PriceChildby "things" i mean, anything other than in attacks20:36
LjL[21:35:55] <FloodBot2> WARNING: ChanServ is not replying, removing limit20:36
LjL[21:35:57] <FloodBot3> WARNING: ChanServ is not replying, removing limit20:36
tomawthat was just now?20:36
LjLPriceChild: but that would vanify completely their ability to react on netsplits correctly20:36
LjLtomaw: yes20:36
PriceChildLjL, vanify?20:36
LjLtomaw: as you can see this time only one bot set the -J, the other managed to see that it had already being set20:37
LjLit happens a bit randomly (well, there *are* some random bits in there)20:37
tomawhow many times have you had +J cause problems on a netsplit?20:37
LjLPriceChild: if only bot1 does things, then the other two bots are effectively useless to remove +J on likely server deaths20:37
LjLtomaw: enough that keeping +J set was ruled out (and not by me)20:38
tomawit really should only cause a problem where a server loses connection for long enough for its clients to reconnect elsewhere20:38
jpatrickLjL: could the floodbot bot be put at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots ?20:38
LjLjpatrick: currently we (as in the irc council) think we'd rather not release the source... that might change20:38
PriceChildLjL, no. I mean if they are all always opped. In attacks it goes the same as it goes now. However for all other things, like floods, and unbanning, only number1 does it?20:39
PriceChilds/floods/pastes/20:39
LjLPriceChild: yeah that's what you said - but if only bot1 does things, then only bot1 sets -J on netsplit... so what are the other two bots there for? (since the primary function of having 3 bots was *redundancy on netsplits* in order to make very sure that -J would be set during a netsplit)20:39
jpatrickLjL: ok, right20:40
LjLtomaw, tbh i wouldn't have minded just keeping +J always set.20:40
naliothsince these bots are non-harmful, most users (and folks who have no need to see them) can safely /ignore20:40
tomawLjL: aye20:40
LjLtomaw: anyway it complicates things a little bit, but i can definitely react on big netsplits only20:42
LjLand i suppose i could make chanserv ping-reply timeout more relaxed as well20:43
LjL(although, it's *twenty seconds* already...)20:43
Cpudan80What is emet's problem now20:44
Cpudan80He does that BS in ##windows too20:44

Cpudan80He seems to like doing wildly off-topic things20:45
PriceChildhmmm I don't see anything for some reason20:45
PiciThats because I removed him.20:45
tomawLjL: there have been some reports over laggy services over the last couple of days.  I suspect we'll need to investigate.20:45
LjLtomaw: no but they always detected chanserv lagging >20 seconds (well, it's 18 seconds but anyway) twice a day or so at least20:49
LjLalthough yeah, in the past days it has increased somewhat20:49
