Mm|Spunkyhaha ok00:00
Seveasmeh00:08
Seveasare there no good irc bouncers?00:08
Seveasbip sucks00:09
Seveasdircproxy sucks00:09
LjLSeveas: i share your pain00:09
LjLi'm on muh00:10
LjLwhich sucks00:10
LjLSeveas: all these irssi fanatics say they use irssi-proxy00:10
Seveasirssi sucks00:10
LjLi might give up and try it, unless i get around to writing my own00:10
LjLSeveas: irssi may suck, but used as a proxy it certainly has some interesting features00:11
PriceChildi thought irssi-proxy was great00:11
PriceChildit also gives the advantage of being a client at the same time00:11
LjLPriceChild: well, i call that unneeded bloat, unless you actually like using it as a client00:11
LjLwhich i don't00:11
PriceChildhehe00:11
LjLbut anyway, if its proxy is the best around...00:11
LjLSeveas: there is a derivative of muh that someone recommended to me, as well... it fixes most of muh's horrible shortcomings, although one i find pretty serious still remains: QUIT and NICK are logged for *all* channels regardless of whether the person was in such channels or not00:13
LjLthat makes logs... *slightly*... cluttered and big00:13
PriceChildI would rather that....00:14
PriceChildreading one log would be confusing if someone changes00:14
LjLPriceChild, but there is no problem if the nick change is only shown in the logs for the *channels they're in*00:15
Seveasctrlproxy looks promising00:15
PriceChildohhhh00:15
PriceChildLjL, that's wierd00:15
LjLPriceChild: basically, when i look at the logs of -ops, i see quit/nick commands for #ubuntu too00:15
PriceChildwho thought that'd be a good idea?!00:15
LjLPriceChild: it's not weird really, as QUIT and NICK are the only "global" commands00:15
PriceChildah ok00:15
LjLPriceChild, the original muh developer probably just wanted something easy. the derivative's developers call it a "feature not a bug". it's still a bug.00:16
LjLPriceChild: fixing it involves keeping a nicklist for every channel you're in00:16
PriceChildyup00:16
LjLwhich *clients* already do, of course, so it's no issue for them00:16
PriceChildLjL, fork it00:16
* PriceChild grins00:16
PriceChildLjL, how about attach an irssi to it for logging?00:16
* PriceChild runs off00:16
LjLeasier to write my own than to understand someone else's code... it's not an incredibly complicated thing00:16
LjLPriceChild: it allows only one client connected at a time ;)00:17
PriceChildbug!!00:17
PriceChildok00:17
LjLhow come ctrlproxy is the only one i *don't* have installed00:17
PriceChildrun irssi proxy00:17
PriceChildthen attach muh to irssi00:17
PriceChildthen your client to muh00:17
PriceChildand make irssi log00:17
LjLerg00:17
PriceChild:D00:17
LjLPriceChild: anyway jokes aside, there is a pretty interesting Qt client in the works, howsitcalled00:18
LjLPriceChild: which does something i've often though about, i.e. being divided in a daemon and a frontend - but not the way proxies do it, actually keeping all stateful information in the backend00:18
LjLquassel-irc.org00:19
PriceChildinteresting00:21
SeveasLjL, that's exactly what I'm looking for as well00:21
LjLSeveas: well i think you'll have to wait a while still for that one to be released... ctrlproxy dunno, it doesn't seem to have even basic stuff such as giving a server password00:23
LjLi'd live a compressing irc proxy as well, i'd need that for the cell phone's pretty expensive data connection00:24
LjLs/live/love/00:24
LjLbut of course that requires a proxy on the phone too so no chances unless i write it00:24
PriceChildSomeone give me money for a machine I can use to run a proxy so I can worry and spend time on problems like this..00:25
LjLPriceChild: nice try00:25
PriceChild:P00:25
LjLuh, concerning logs, let's see how long yesterday's idiot has kept CTCPing me tonight, for kicks00:29
LjLand bans00:29
LjLwow, he went on until 5:30am with privmsgs, possibly longer with ctcps (which my very smart proxy doesn't seem to log at all)00:30

Picii=grids, I saw.03:31
nalioththanks, Pici03:32
LjLpici, that i= doesn't mean they're identified though03:32
jribJack_Sparrow: can you email it to me, I don't think I'll look at it today?  I sent you an email to your gmail.03:32
Jay-Oh-Enjrib, it works now03:32
Jack_Sparrowjrib: Sure I can send it over03:32
PiciLjL: I thought i= was identified and n= not id'd.03:32
PiciAlthough that would make just enough sense for it to be illogically wrong.03:32
LjLPici: "identified" in the sense that an identd server on the user's machine replied to the ident request from the server03:32
LjLthat's an entirely different thing from being identified to *services*03:33
PiciWell thats silly.03:33
LjLit's always been that way03:33
LjLonly way to know if someone is identified to *services* is /whois or /capab identify-msg03:33
naliothPici: you really need to set this up:03:33
naliothWant to see if someone is identified to services at a glance?  http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#spoofing Pici03:33

ikoniayour message made up for it14:10
ikonia;)14:10
LjLthen /whois nunzioTAB, thinking it would give me nunzio_, who however had been kicked14:10
LjLthe rest you can guess :)14:10
ikoniaI see where that went14:11
LjLgood thing when people have autojoin on invite though14:11
LjLwell - bad thing, actually, but sometimes it helps14:11
ikoniasaves blushes14:11
PiciNeat, new bantracker seems to be working: 2008-01-29T09:07:56 Registering Kick Event: nunzio kicked by jri.b14:12
ikoniaPici: so that picks up a feed from ubotu ?14:13
Piciikonia: No, my own bot.14:13
LjLah Pici, i meant to ask you something... you said that each record is kept separately, does that mean that each message in the logs is stored in a separate db row?14:13
ikoniaahhh14:13
PiciLjL: In my tracker, yes.14:13
LjLoh jesus my gay fan club is back14:13
ikoniall ?14:14
LjLPici: hmm that's not a very good thing in that it won't allow to store logs compressed...14:14
ikoniaLjL: LL is a mega odd one14:14
LjLikonia: yeah, although the nick was different the last time14:14
ikoniaI've seen him as [LL] before14:14
PiciLjL: I'll have to play with it.14:14
ikoniaPici: that looks very interesting so is it key word triggered ?14:15
LjLPici: you see, you can still compress each message separately, but that wouldn't give you very good compression - and a lot of overhead14:15
LjLgah i didn't whois in time, was ll registered?14:15
Piciikonia: Right now it only triggers on removes.14:15
PiciLjL: yes14:15
ikoniaPici: but is it the "word" that removes it or an event14:16
ikoniaPici: I'm wording that badly, sorry14:16
LjLPici: you've got your identify-msg huh? :)14:16
LjLlast time the nick was N1c14:16
LjLsame host14:16
LjLi was about to kick him but for some reason i gave him to price's PM torture instead14:17
LjLikonia: yeah you make no sense tbh :)14:18
Piciikonia: Its based on whether the part message begins with 'requested by' (note that normal part messages begin with double quotes).14:18
Piciif(msg.args[1][:12] == 'requested by')14:19
ikoniaPici: ok - so it's keyword on the part message14:19
PiciYes.14:20
LjLikonia: it's the only way to do it14:21
LjLotherwise, a "remove" message is perfectly indistinguishable from a PART14:21
PiciNo, remove messages don't have double quotes around them like PART messages do.14:22
LjLPici: yep sure, it's still a matter of matching a regex against the command body though14:22
LjL("command body" i mean the stuff after the ":")14:22
PiciLjL: Right, they are still of type PART.14:22
PiciArthurArchnix: How can we help you today?14:22
LjLPici: yes, which theoretically means that it could even trigger bugs in clients :)14:23
LjLwhich usually don't quit expect to see themselves parted from channels when they didn't ask for it14:23
LjLPici, ArthurArchnix wants to comment on a bot factoid and submit a new one, i directed him here14:23
PiciLjL: Ah, okay.14:24
ArthurArchnixHi guys, sorry to bother, but with respect to "!flash" the two messages that ubotu spits out are confusing. After reading the first one I think that flash is fixed, after all, there's a message saying that it's now available in backports. Then another message pops up saying it broken. I was just wondering if there might be a better way to say that it's broken for Gutsy (still) and it's fixed (or not) in backports. I notic14:24
ArthurArchnixThanks for considering it.14:24
LjLArthurArchnix, well, the part in backports is about the fact that it's available in *older* releases, i think14:25
LjL!flash14:25
ubotuTo install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash14:25
ubotuThe Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.14:25
LjLArthurArchnix: yes, see, it says it's available in backports for dapper and edgy14:25
stdinI think the "backports" part can be removed, that was from when flash 9 was put into backports14:25
LjLstdin: well it's still in backports only for dapper (who cares about edgy :)14:25
ArthurArchnixYeah... I just wanted to say that I was confused, and see if anyone else is... sometimes I get confused all alone. :)14:26

* Pici thinks of a bug to log for ubotu14:28
Pici-also factoids should prefix themselves with whatever the first message is prefixed with.14:28
ArthurArchnixYes, no. I dunno. Like I said... I was confused when I first came across it. Then I ran into someone in the channels also confused and I thought I'd mention it. I'm probably overthinking it, and you probably have better things to handle. Thanks again. Night.14:29
ikoniaPici: you may want to speak to Sevas as I've made a request about the flash plugin factoid which I think sevas was looking at14:29
LjLPici: they should14:31

LjLPici: however, "double" factoids (i.e. also) should really never be used in the channel ideally... they're intended for PM to begin with14:32

ikoniaI tried to give them away when mine got upgrded, no-one wanted them14:58

LjLikonia: i can't really use such PDAs very much though. no keyboard... what do i do with them except navigation, and Windows CE well you know. the Psion is actually something i use - i've probably typed more stuff on the psion than on my computer (excluding stuff typed on IRC)14:59
ikoniaLjL: thats understandable, I just use mine for GPS, mail/calander sync basic stuff to not have to boot the laptop while around15:00
LjLyou could say they're versatile... well they are, mp3 player, metronome, ham radio modem, guitar tuner is some of the things i used it for. but the battery lasts 2 hours... whenever i'd need it, it's usually flat15:00
LjLikonia: yep for GPS they're ok but even for mail and calendar, you just should try a psion. having a keyboard to type on, and batteries which last 10 hours, is well another thing15:01
ikoniaLjL I used to have a pison, but for who my main client is at the moment, I /have/ to use an ipaq15:02
ikoniaalthough i don't write much, really just read15:02
ikoniagot my web urls bookmarked so not much typing to do15:02
ikoniahttp://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus-tactus/15:02
ikoniathis is starting to get silly ;)15:02
LjLikonia: well different people different needs, but admit the software at least is miles above windows ce... (now they've ruined it with recent symbian version, but anyway)15:03
ikoniaLjL ooh totally windows CE suckor15:03
LjLbut silly, yes :)15:03
ikoniaLjL: one of the things I'm trying witht he HX4700 is to get linux on it and thunderbird and a few things like that15:03
ikoniatrying to make it an open ipaq15:03
ikoniawith rather limited sucssed at the moment15:04
LjLikonia: eh... there is such thing as an open ipaq already... although i'm afraid it's a bit of a mess now, with the handhelds.org quarrel15:04
ikoniaLjL: exactly15:05
LjLon my older ipaq, i had Familiar for most of the time15:05
ikoniahence why I'm doing my own thing ;)15:05
ikoniaI used it on the old compaq ipaws15:05
ikoniaipaqs15:05
LjLikonia: well the stuff *is* there and open source though15:05
LjLjust a bit confusing reading about right now15:05
ikoniait's all scrappy15:05
ikoniajust doing my own thing and building on people's stuff to make my own solution15:05
LjLikonia: it was in pretty good shape when i used it on the other ipaq :|15:06
LjLeven though i used 0.6.0 or something i think, never anything newer15:06
LjLOpie, mind, X sucked ;)15:06
LjLikonia: actually i mostly used it over SSH to compile stuff on... since it had a faster processor than my computer :D15:07

jussi01LjL: ok. thanks15:11
ikoniaLjL: thats a cool use15:14
LjLikonia: well, it can be if you still have a pentium 166 in >200015:15
ikoniaLjL: wasn't the arch "arm" though ?15:15
LjLikonia: yes, i'm saying, it's a cool use if the ARM 200MHz that's in your PDA is faster than the Pentium 166 that's in your desktop computer15:16
LjLARM 233Mhz actually15:16
ikoniaahhh15:16
LjLmind, i don't have a Pentium 166 anymore *now* :)15:16
ikoniabig upgrade ?15:17
LjLikonia: uhm sort of... i bought the cheapest Sempron i could find a couple of years ago, but the PSU exploded and so did the motherboard. so now i'm using a Celeron 1700 that a friend of mine found next to his house's trash bin15:17
ikoniayour on borrowed kit15:18
LjLcould put it that way15:18

Jack_SparrowLjL: I am in need of a little assistance.  WHat I am looking for is your list of cli commands that you would use to troubleshoot a video problem, or sound, or networking.  I would like to try and write them into a module for upstream16:31

PriceChildhttp://pastebin.ca/879249 lol (completely offtopic)16:36
LjLJack_Sparrow, usually i dodge video/sound problems... :) but, "amixer" shows all mixer settings, and that's definitely useful for when people are lost in a mixer with too many controls. "lsmod" is certainly handy in general, i suppose they have it already... (and "lshw" but i *know* they have that already). perhaps "aptitude search '~Pxserver-xorg-video" can also help (shows which [proprietary] video drivers you have installed, although one would need the16:36
LjLversion numbers too, there's probably a way to show them as well).16:36
LjLJack_Sparrow: for sound, you may give crimsun a ping16:38
Jack_SparrowLjL: I already have upstream modules for xorg, fstab, mount, grub/menu.lst, lspci, lsb_release etc....   Looking to add anything else useful16:38
LjLJack_Sparrow: well, for sound amixer is16:39
jussi01PriceChild: cool!16:39
LjLbut crimsun should know better16:39
Jack_SparrowLjL: Thanks.. will check into that now..  I have tons of stuff on video that I am working on now.16:39

PriceChilddo you mean #ubuntu-offtopic ?17:00
emmajaneyeah,17:00
emmajanesorry. :)17:00
PriceChildah, that makes more sense17:00
PriceChildemmajane, I assume from a quick scan he's referring to religion being a controversial topic.17:00
emmajanewhich is fair...17:00
emmajanebut I'm not sure how "religion in schools" is not...17:01
PriceChildI'm afraid I have to run off but will be back in an hour and a half if you want to discuss it further and Jack_Sparrow can't help. *cough cough*17:01

emmajaneJack_Sparrow: nope. :)17:02
Jack_Sparrowemmajane: You are looking for the boundaries of offtopic?17:03
emmajaneJack_Sparrow: I'm trying to understand why religion in schools was not offtopic...17:03
Jack_SparrowUsually, religion and politics are something to avoid17:03
Jack_SparrowLet me join and take a listen..17:04
emmajaneJack_Sparrow: too late.17:04
jpatrick!o4o | basically17:04
ubotubasically: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu-ops. Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space or time travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) - Thanks.17:04
emmajaneI know to respect someone's request to drop a topic.17:04
emmajaneI just don't understand how it was what I said that suddenly made it inappropriate.17:04
Jack_Sparrowjpatrick: thanks...17:04
jpatrickJack_Sparrow: no problem, ate17:05
jpatrickmate*17:05
emmajaneyes, yes, I read all of that...17:05
emmajanePici pointed two of us at it.17:05
Jack_Sparrowjpatrick: Since I have your attention.. do you have any favorite cli commands you use to troubleshoot a system17:05
jpatrickJack_Sparrow: hmm, no but if I'mm debugging I use "gdb" or dmesg if I think it's kernel related17:07
Jack_SparrowOk, I am just trolling for good greps of the logs and other ways of pulling out useful info when troubleshooting issues17:08
jpatrickI rarely have to troubleshoot...17:09
ejerquick question, I want to correct some ubotu factoids, should I just do it with !-no command, or should I seek permission first17:40
jpatrickejer: just do them and they'll be reviewed here later17:41

Jack_SparrowPriceChild: after o4o  she didnt seem to have any more questions18:56
PiciI think the confusion was that at some point there was a conversation on religion in schools, and no one o4o'd over that.  Then I happened to look at the channel when they were comparing distros to religions or something, and o4o'd them.18:57

ompaulSeveas: you about?19:18
PriceChildLjL, how come the floodbot decided to tell not to flood before it muted?20:27
=== davies is now known as jpatrick
LjLPriceChild: it always does that actually - it gives the "don't flood" message after 5 lines, it mutes after six21:03
LjLmost of the times however, if people are actually flooding [fast enough], the mute will come before the message, because the message is sent in the slow queue21:03
PriceChildah right thanks21:04
jpatrickwhat's the root support fact?21:27
nalioth!root21:28
ubotuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo21:28

ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about rootsupport - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi21:28
