nikrudmy stats were too high, needed to start over05:49
naliothHobbsee: you're quite spamalicious  :)05:53
Hobbseenalioth: heh05:54
Hobbseeso, any objections from unbanning emma?  hopefully she's more rational today06:20
Hobbseeafter all, this is the appeals ground, and she may have a decent appeal06:20
tonyyarussofair point06:22
stdinshe's in #kubuntu-offtopic, so far not said anything about -uncensored, but teetering on it06:23
* Hobbsee pokes the irc council and such06:54
Hobbsee[17:41] <emma> An acceptable result..06:54
Hobbsee[17:43] <Hobbsee> you haven't answered the quesiton yet06:54
Hobbsee[17:46] <emma> an acceptable result for me would be if i could have the ban lifted from me in -offtopic and -ops, and i would make an apology, and comply with the rules, and that hopefully if I did that then i wouldn't see comments that made me feel challenged, but if I did then I would try very hard to swallow my pride and handle it gracefully06:54
Hobbsee[17:51] <Hobbsee> including not mentioning about the irseek, or anything about logging, or advertise the existance of ##ubuntu-uncensored in any #*ubuntu* channels?06:55
Hobbsee[17:51] <Hobbsee> or payint out the ops?06:55
Hobbsee[17:51] <Hobbsee> er, paying06:55
Hobbsee[17:52] <emma> just to clarify i have never ever ever said anything about paying out the ops06:55
Hobbsee[17:52] <emma> that's new to me.06:55
Hobbsee[17:52] <Hobbsee> please don't make me go around and pull all of the stuff out of -uncensored about it.06:55
Hobbsee[17:52] <Hobbsee> or any of our queries06:55
Hobbsee[17:53] <emma> Okay but i really don't think that any ops are getting payed off?06:55
Hobbsee[17:53] <emma> but yes to answer your question06:55
Hobbsee[17:54] <Hobbsee> yes, i do.06:55
Hobbsee[17:54] <Hobbsee> OK, then i'll take that to the ops, and see what they say.06:55
Hobbsee<apologies for paste>06:55
tonyyarussoHobbsee: See if you can add a condition of renaming that channel.06:56
* Hobbsee pokes her into here06:56
tonyyarussoIt's hard to swallow the hit on the Ubuntu image from the pseudo-namespace.06:57
tonyyarussoHey emma 06:57
emmahello06:57
Hobbsee[17:56] <tonyyarusso> Hobbsee: See if you can add a condition of renaming that channel.06:58
Hobbseehi emma 06:58
* Hobbsee just pasted the last of our query in here, for people to read over, and make a decision on06:59
emmavery embarassing06:59
Hobbseeit was only from [17:54] <Hobbsee> [17:41] <emma> An acceptable result..06:59
tonyyarussoemma: just the relevant stuff to fill us in on where you guys had gotten to06:59
emma*nods* 07:02
tonyyarussoemma: basically what I was saying there is that we'd all very much like to see your channel renamed to not include "ubuntu" in the title.  The channel has a perfect right to exist, and we support that, but as the ones responsible for Ubuntu's IRC presence the current status makes us uncomfortable.07:02
emmabut it isn't just the ops who can read it, it's everyone in the world. Which feels embarrassing. 07:03
tonyyarussoSomeone suggested "##emmas-space", or anything like that.  You can be creative too.07:03
Hobbseeoh wow!07:05
Hobbseethis page actually works under linux now.  woot!07:05
emmaWell done Hobbsee :)07:05
tonyyarussowhich one is that Hobbsee ?07:05
Hobbseeemma: i know SportChick uses ##essy for the same sort of thing.  ##emmas-space is probably quite reasonable07:05
Hobbseetonyyarusso: submit system for uni.  blackboard.  it really sucks.07:05
tonyyarussoah07:06
emmaI don't know SportChick07:06
* tonyyarusso uses ##tonyyarusso - is not very creative07:06
Hobbseeemma: she's a nice staffer.  you should meet her one day.  or turn up at ##essy07:07
emmaOkay 07:07
tonyyarussoCareful - watch out for the mass-huggings.07:07
emmaI hope neither of you will take this the wrong way, I will have to accept your decision if not, but would you mind if we went to ##moderation or any other channel that is not put on the internet for everyone to read latter?07:07
Hobbseeemma: based on how a lot of people are not there, and have will have missed a lot of context, i'm not sure how that's fiar to them07:09
Hobbsee(and i suspect it's too late nwo)07:09
tonyyarussoemma: bother.  I'm trying to ponder up a way that we can satisfy that request and still keep the other people involved if they happen to show up, but unfortunately I'm drawing a blank, so I think we'll likely have to work with what we have here.07:12
emmaalright07:13
tonyyarussoSorry 'bout that - I know it's not ideal for you.07:13
Hobbseepity ubuntulog can't be on a public machine or something.07:14
tonyyarussoYeah really...  /me REALLY doesn't want to touch anything RT-related these days07:15
Hobbseefriends in high places help.07:15
Hobbseeespecially if they want stuff from you, too07:15
emmaOkay so to everyone who may be reading this in the future, I want to ask that you not judge me harshly. It is 3:13 am for me right now and I am tired and sad. I am trying to work with people and I will do my best.07:18
Hobbseebut not really worth the risk for anything time-critical07:18
emmaBased on what Hobbsee posted before I entered the channel could I please be given my voice back in -offtopic?07:18
* Hobbsee wants to wait for others ( elkbuntu, LjL, Seveas ) to have a say07:19
tonyyarussoWe should have something like /stats p that tracks who's up07:19
Hobbseeseeing as they've all been invoved too07:19
tonyyarussoyeah07:19
Hobbseeeclipse has a mass memory leak, too :(07:19
* tonyyarusso twiddles thumbs while we wait - might be a good time to get a snack07:20
* Hobbsee heads out for a bit07:20
emmaI am only one person. How many ops are needed to deal with me?07:26
tonyyarussoemma: well, we'd like to get the input of the various ones who already have, is all07:27
tonyyarussoNot so much "needed" as being polite to them as well.07:27
emmaI have nothing against LjL so don't misunderstand this but I haven't really had any interaction with him for a very long time, except for this afternoon when I came in here. Said another way, he has not been an op involved directly with any disagreement that I'm aware of.07:28
tonyyarussoemma: We might get lucky, but given the time of day it may be necessary to idle here for a few hours.  (Note to everyone else, we're letting her idle here to wait for that feedback.)07:29
* Myrtti reads the backlog07:32
tonyyarussoemma: Any offers you can make on the channel name while people are considering?07:34
emma(Note to people reading this in the future:  If we wait a few hours it will be 6:30 am for me, and I will not have slept all night. Also, I let tonyyarusso and other Ubuntu ops idle in my channel. It is nice of them to let me idle in his.)07:34
tonyyarussoemma: I hope you have a client that logs hilights when /away :)07:34
* tonyyarusso should go to sleep soon too - is one hour behind emma07:34
emmaI use xchat.07:34
ompaulMyrtti, pm07:35
emmaNot really tonyyarusso  that looked like something that was thrown in after I was asked to come in here, and after my private message to Hobbsee was made public for all of my friends to see. So I would like to ask the ops for their consideration given what was already posted there.07:37
elkbuntuemma, i have no problem with you having voice back in -offtopic *only* on the proviso that you agree to play by our rules in our playground08:22
emma*nods*08:23
emmaty elkbuntu they were waiting for you. I hope they are still here now.08:25
elkbuntuand that includes not challenging or trying to exploit loopholes08:25
emmaYes.08:27
elkbuntuwell it seems hobbsee has gone to dinner right now, so it's probably best you head to bed, and let us work this out when she returns, ok?08:28
emmayes ty. goodnight.08:28
ompaulsleep well08:28
* jpatrick blinks08:45
elkbuntujpatrick, if you value your sanity... wipe the past 12hrs from your irc08:45
elkbuntulife will be alot simpler08:46
jpatrickelkbuntu: impossible, it seems they beat themselves all up last night in #kubuntu-es08:47
elkbuntujpatrick, oh dear08:47
jpatrickHobbsee: Canonical will probably never put the bots on a public machine as they're a "security risk"09:04
tonyyarussoApparently fixing the broken links on LoCo sites is a "security risk" too, so I'd second that.09:05
jpatrickHobbsee: but you could try poking them in #canonical-sysadmin09:06
tonyyarussoI don't think that channel even exists anymore jpatrick, from what I've heard.  It wasn't all that helpful anyway.09:07
* tonyyarusso is now 14 months and counting on trying to get LoCo hosting up and running properly with Canonical after team approval09:07
ompaultonyyarusso, have you sent a mail to "sysadmins"  not sure of the actual address09:27

LjL!no recover is <reply> Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Remember that it's tricky to recover deleted files from your journalled !filesystem, and you should keep !backups of important data.18:28
ubotuI'll remember that LjL18:28
jpatrickI thought you were doing !recover18:28
LjLjpatrick: yeah i typoed18:28
LjLstill they're a bit similar in name18:28
LjLagain?18:28
ompaul!backups18:28
ubotuThere are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning18:28
ompaulhmm18:28
ompaul what about /msg ubotu in place of !18:28
LjLdoesn't flow, makes the factoid twice as long in the first place :P18:29
LjLSeveas: (see what i mean about double-factoids)18:29
ompauland then the channel four times as busy18:29
ompaulput is all in a lead to one backup page18:29
ompauland have one url18:30
ompaulbackups and recovery 18:30
ompaulwhamo win 18:30
LjLno they're two entirely different things18:30
LjLthe wiki people wouldn't like that at all18:30
ompaulwell then 18:30
ompaulone wiki page on backup s18:30
ompauland a reference to recovery 18:30
LjLyeah that should be the way18:31
ompaulafter all if I store something I want it again (in theory at least)18:31
LjLbut honestly i'm not currently the one who's going to try to plug all those backup pages together :)18:31
LjLmerging schizophrenic wikis can be wearing18:31
ompaulwhat really gets to me is that there are four URLS and two more !s18:32
LjLi'll dedicate to making the recovery page a bit more complete right now (since it doesn't mention half the tools i had in the factoid)18:32
ompauljust nuts18:32
Seveaspeanuts or macadamia?18:32
LjLyeah i know that's bad, there should be one well organized backup page (not recovery, though) in the first place18:32
ompaulSeveas, the mad type18:32
nikrudLjL: you might want to alias undelete to recover18:44
LjLyeah18:44
LjLediting the wiki right now18:44
kavikhello?19:03
Seveashello kavik 19:03
Seveashow can we hlp you?19:03
LjLif you want to check my changes to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery and/or add something about the coroner's toolkit (bit to complicated for me to investigate right now)19:03
kaviksevas will you be on in 8 hours?19:03
Seveaskavik, why do you want to know?19:03
kaviki need to talk to you about something but i forgot i have to work and i'm late19:04

SeveasI'll definitely *not* be here in 8 hours, that's 4am for me and I'm not LjL :)19:05
JonathanDSeveas: based on his story and what I just tested, I would avoid leafchat at all costs :)19:05
LjLSeveas: you lazy timezone respecter19:05
SeveasLjL, more like work starts at 09:00 tomorrow morning and people frown if I'm not in before 10:3019:05
ompaulSeveas, heh my work starts at 9:30 and people raise eyebrows if I do not show up before 9:15 am19:07
ompaulthen again that is a public transport thing19:07
Seveasompaul, you have the wrong job :)19:07
ompaulSeveas, na I never work late in the office without it being my choice19:08
LjLSeveas: they frown because they have high voltage put through them?19:08
SeveasLjL, that too19:08
ompaulLjL, they worry they have to implement their DR plan19:08
ompaulSeveas, and they would be mighty perturbed if I was there late it would be an indication that something was not right19:10
ompauland they don't like that19:10
ompaulLjL, I altered the intro a bit and it seems those tools are tct but more user friendly which you need if you are in that particular house of pain19:18

jpatrickhi, thesurvivorman, how may we help you "today"?20:10
thesurvivormanI was wondering if someone could help me. I can't connect to #ubuntu. I can connect to other rooms.20:11
Seveasthesurvivorman, did you follow the instructions in #ubuntu-read-topic where you were sent?20:11
thesurvivormanYes I did. 20:11
Seveasthesurvivorman, did you request a selftest?20:12
thesurvivormanThe "test me"?20:12
Seveasyes20:12
thesurvivormanI did that.20:12
ompaulthesurvivorman, and you typed the words "test me"20:12
thesurvivormanYes I did.20:12
Seveasdid that disconnect you?20:12
Seveasyes it did20:12
ompauldont things so20:12
Seveashe just did the 'test me' again ;)20:12
thesurvivormanit did disconnect me20:13
Seveasthesurvivorman, you did not follow the instructions properly, else it would not have disconnected you20:13
thesurvivormanit said to add the /8001 I believe?20:13
thesurvivormanI did that. And I'm able to connect to other freenode rooms. 20:14
Seveasthesurvivorman, but you're still vulnerable for that exploit, please follow the instructions carefully20:14
thesurvivormanok guys. I'll try again. Is this specific to the room?20:15
thesurvivormanI can join ubuntu+1 and others.20:15
thesurvivormanJust curious.20:15
Seveasthesurvivorman, it is specific to #ubuntu and a few other channels20:16
thesurvivormanthanks. I'll try again. I appreciate your help :)20:16
Seveashttp://media.kaarsemaker.net/reset_passwords20:16
SeveasI need opinions on that thing20:16
ompaulSeveas, looking20:16
Seveasa few minutes ago it saved a horrible noob a lot of time. Forgot his password, this thing makes it dead-easy to reset20:17
Seveaswhilst still being safe20:17
Seveas(for values of safe)20:17
ompaulSeveas, scares me to hell 20:18
ompaulI can see why it exists20:18
Seveasompaul, which bit?20:18
ompaula live CD killing off installed systems ;-)20:19
Seveasit's not killing off, look at the checks it does :)20:19
ompaulI am 20:19
ompaultell you what echo -e "\033[4;30mFound the following distribution on $part\033[0m:"20:19
Seveasignore the \033[....m bits 20:20
Seveasthose change color20:20

Seveasit's safe to run on installed systems as well, try it20:20
ompaulthe lsb_release20:20
Seveasjust answer no to the 'should I change this pass' question20:20
ompaulI would like it to tell the user I see this version -- are you sure you want to reset the password please type this sentence20:21
ompaulI do not mind if I trash access to this system.20:21
Seveas'y' is a short sentence :) 20:21

Seveashi artenius 20:22
Seveaswhat can we do for you?20:22
arteniushi Seveas 20:22
arteniusI'm wondering if it's possible that I tripped some trigger by mistake.  I'm hoping my system isn't really exploited20:22
ompaulartenius, the bug is in the router20:22
ompaulit is "exploitable"20:22
Seveasartenius, for most safety, upgrade your routers firmware20:23
arteniusyeah I'm checking to see if there is a firmware update now20:23
ompaulon this network you can connect to port 8001 and avoid that condition20:23
ompaulartenius, just connect to 8001 some firmware updates don't hack it20:23
arteniusI don't want to be vulnerable on other networks though20:23
ompaulfine20:23
ompaulSeveas, did you ever hear the band "aslan" ?20:24
arteniusis there info on what exactly the exploit does or allows?20:24
Seveasompaul, no20:24
Seveasartenius, the router will crap itself (drop connections) when it sees a malformed DCC request 20:24
arteniusahh, I guess using a bounce would prevent it then anyway20:25
Seveasartenius, no20:25
Seveasthe malformed DCC requests don't always look like DCC request but like normal messages, which the bouncer will send you20:25
arteniusahh20:26
ompaulartenius, it ends up on your router and you fall over20:26
arteniusok, atleast it just drops you though and doesn't actually effect my computer systems.20:26
arteniushad me worried when I woke up and saw all these messages20:26
ompaulyou need to disconnect from IRC and rejoin to get the client to work20:28
Seveasompaul, he's already done that20:28
ompaulahh20:28
ompaulso then 20:28
Seveasartenius, 'worry' is exactly the feeling we want to get across with the forwarding -- it's not good to have an exploitable router20:29
Seveasgood to see that works :)20:29
arteniuswell thanks guys., I'm gonna disconnect and update my firmware,  hopefully that solves it.20:29
LjLSeveas: i thought we mostly didn't want to see people bouncing in and out of the channel every fives minutes :P20:37

jpatricksomeone was just spamming21:57
LjLYour router is buggy. Type « test me » in this channel, but AFTER following these instructions to FIX the problem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit - But if the automatic test FAILS, then type « /join #ubuntu-ops » and ask to be tested there by the operators21:58
jpatrickah, that21:58
LjLyeah, that. there must be a way to make them understand english21:58
jpatrickteaching them what to do? :)21:59
LjLwe do?21:59
jpatrickI just did21:59
LjLjpatrick, come on, the topic is as clear as a crystal21:59
LjLif they only read half of it it's because they22:00
LjLwell it's because.22:00
jpatrickLjL: well it's the "how many actually read the /topic question" there22:00
LjLso i guess have the "test me" in the first half and let them type it (without having followed any instructions) until the routers blow up22:00
LjLjpatrick: eeeeeh? no22:00
LjLjpatrick: when you join that channel, the bot TELLS you to type « /topic » and read it22:01
LjLand if he knew he had to follow the wiki, then it means he had [partially] read the topic22:01
jpatrickah, did not know that22:01
LjLjpatrick, join -read-topic and tell me how you think it can be made clearer. i'm out of ideas and getting annoyed22:02

nikrudmneptok: for when you next pass through here: do you have any further info on why apt-get is 'strongly recommended' over aptitude these days23:02
Seeker`I thought that aptitude has better dependancy resolution or something23:04
PiciI though that particular fact wasn't true in more recent version of apt-get.23:05
nikrudautoremove pretty much handles that now23:05
SeveasSeeker`, it has different dependency resolution23:05
Seveassometimes it works out better, but most of the times, it doesn't matter a pair of dingos kidneys23:05
ompaulnikrud, it does not incorporate as much "potential cruft" it takes less23:05
