[00:34] LjL, umount does in a sane place but as Flannel says sysrq is not normal [00:35] We probably ought to also mention on that factoid that it is those keys for US-QWERTY only. And other keyboards will have to compensate [00:35] Flannel, i can't think of a keyboard where any of those keys is in the wrong place... [00:36] LjL: well, dvorak people would be pushing the keys themselves, not the letters. [00:36] ah well, the dvorak weirdos. [00:36] so, assuming they had a qwerty keyboard, instead of an actual dvorak keyboard [00:37] Flannel, they got dvorak keyboards they are supposed to know what they are doing [00:37] LjL: I know theres some foreign keyboards that do too. Although, hmm, maybe not those keys. [00:37] Flannel: no, not those keys [00:37] you get AZERTY [00:37] QZERTY [00:37] and i think QsomethingERTZ [00:38] but the reisub keys are firm in their place [00:43] !search reisub [00:43] Found: [00:43] !search printscreen [00:43] Found: sysrq [00:44] Lofde_ called the ops in #ubuntu+1 () [01:41] !sysrq [01:41] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B.

[11:10] Cheeky, this is not about us vs you [11:10] Cheeky, this is about a very busy room that you were disrupting. [11:10] Cheeky: We try to keep the channels open for all comers, when you dont listen to instructions or follow advice you make the room more busy and others cannot get help [11:11] jussi01: i have been a user in ubuntu and only come to ubuntu coz i like that lace its been something diffferent that i love comeing back to every day for the last 3 weeks just coz i didnt reply back to some one names ompaul he didnt have the right to kick me .. [11:11] i justy dont feel its unfair [11:12] Cheeky: thats not what happened [11:12] and this isn't the first time you've been "guided" to stay on track/topic in #ubuntu [11:12] i thought linux and some programmers that i have met there have a different vision that i respect and beleive [11:12] not this [11:12] I know I've spoke to you twice [11:12] oh yeah [11:12] ikonia: he mentioned if i dont reply back to wat he said he will kick me if i ever ask about web cam/ [11:13] Cheeky: you where not responding to his question and just kept hitting the channel with the same question over and over [11:13] he was trying to help you and you where ignoring it, and just distrupting the channel [11:13] and I know I have spoken to you before about repeating the same question over and over and over in chanel before [11:13] hmm [11:13] Cheeky: the operators are there to make sure the room runs smoothly, while I didnt see the situation, it sounds though you were disrupt ting the channel and denying others a chance to get help. [11:14] I have a problem with a user I banned harassing me about the ban in private. [11:14] and he won't stop. [11:14] Nafallo: just ignore it dude [11:14] yeah it sounds .. wat ever man [11:15] if you wish me that fine .. if you guys have the power to let me in .. iam not gonna bege to join back in [11:15] no one is asking you to beg [11:15] apparently he's harassing others as well was just reported on the channel I banned him from :-/ [11:15] Cheeky: until you agree to abide by the guidelines set up for the channel - guidelines for everyones benefit - we will not unban you. [11:16] i feel like iam punished .. when i truly .. doent feel like i deserve it .. its like the system ..

[11:21] but wat do you expect when you get banned from a place from a dude you cant ask whty [11:21] so just think about why you where removed (keep in mind I've spoke to you around 2 times also to get you to keep on track in #ubuntu) and think about how you asking the same question over and over [11:21] Cheeky, this is a community of volunteers. [11:21] Cheeky: what do I expect ? I expect you to not go bad mouthing people in other channels [11:21] even if he banned you, making comments in other channels is not going to help your situation [11:22] Cheeky, if he did not, I would have. [11:22] you should also expect you fellow mates not to ban ppl just coz they didnt reply to them [11:22] Cheeky: thats not what happened [11:22] yes it did [11:22] Cheeky: and the fact that you can't grasp that [11:22] omg [11:22] Cheeky, that is simply not the case. [11:22] Cheeky: he offered you help, I offered you help, two other people offered you help, you simpley kept asking the same question over and over again [11:22] Cheeky, you cant re-write history that has logs. [11:23] not trying [11:23] Cheeky, you were asked repeatedly to stop. [11:23] Cheeky, and many folks made suggestions which you completely ignored. [11:23] i wuld liek to see the logs and paste exactly where he said he will ban me if he didnt reply to his message [11:23] if you could please bring it up or show me [11:23] ill will show you [11:23] Cheeky, no need. [11:23] why not [11:24] Cheeky, I witnessed it all. [11:24] thats proof [11:24] on my side [11:24] isnt it [11:24] please show me so i can show [11:24] and what you are saying is simply not correct in any way shape or form. [11:24] dont you think i have the right to do so ? [11:24] then please show me howi can show the logs ? [11:24] please? [11:24] !logs [11:24] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [11:24] no. [11:24] it's fine I have no problem with you seeing the log [11:25] you need to read those links I gave you and come back at some point in the future [11:25] Cheeky, when you have understood the meaning of the ubuntu community. [11:25] i cant seem to find the logs of the chat room i was in [11:26] was there a paticular file i need to look for so i can justify my statement ? [11:26] pavlz seems to have stopped [11:26] yes [11:26] :) [11:26] I've tried to speak to him in a pm, but he does seem limited by the device he's typing on [11:26] he was running debian or using debian repos with ubuntu [11:27] I think so, but I couldn't quite get any info out of him [11:27] that cant end well :) [11:27] ultabreaksit mark 2 [11:27] he may not be, but it's hard to tell [11:28] for those times when 1 breakage is not enough [11:29] is there a file in paticular i need to find toshow my logs of that chat in that directory >? [11:29] Cheeky: this is going nowhere [11:30] Cheeky: seriously just walk away for a few hours, and have a ponder about this all came about [11:30] Cheeky, how about coming back in a few days [11:30] what? [11:30] i just want to show ... my argument doesnt matted .. if i get back in or not at least just do my part [11:30] ultabreaksit has birthed a successor? :( [11:30] elkbuntu: ? [11:31] ultabreaksit mark 2 [11:31] Cheeky: we've read the logs - hence why we are saying "thats not what happened" [11:31] Cheeky: so it maybe best if you just sit down and had a think about how this all came about, [11:31] ok fair enuff but can i see wat you saw? [11:31] Cheeky: you've just been given the link to see the logs [11:31] elkbuntu, some one using debian repos with ubuntu [11:32] ikonia: i clicked on it but it opened different logs [11:32] Cheeky: re-read it [11:32] Cheeky: as in re-read the link and the text in the link [11:32] i mean .alot of links wih in it in thr browser [11:32] Cheeky: thats right [11:32] Cheeky: so find the link for the channel you where in [11:33] all i know was i typed in #ubuntu in pidgin [11:34] how does that relate to anything ?

[11:35] thats the wrong link [11:35] lets stop this [11:35] Cheeky, it wont make things better. [11:35] Cheeky, you were in the wrong. end of story. [11:35] fine i just want to show you guys something .. coz after alli spend all this time taking to ytou guys might as well show you wat i meant right [11:36] Cheeky: just go away for a time, and think about how this situation came about, then we can progress it forward [11:36] Cheeky: we've read the logs [11:36] Cheeky, accept it and move on. [11:36] why cant you please how me the logs or give me a hard time with finding the logs i just wanna see .. and point it out [11:36] this is soo unfair [11:36] this is getting old now [11:37] Cheeky: please follow the advise and just take a break and think about how you got here [11:37] Cheeky, no its not unfair. [11:37] Cheeky, this is unfair to those who use ubuntu other than you. [11:37] Cheeky, we are taking time to spend with you and others are not being helped as a result.

[12:02] infact no-one kicked you after swearing at us, and asking us to kick you [12:02] this is going no-where [12:02] look guys [12:02] iam sorry [12:02] indeed. [12:02] as are we. [12:02] ikonia, precisely. it's been a whole hour and it's achieved nothing. [12:02] best to part now Cheeky [12:02] I see no point in further thing this in this state [12:04] Cheeky: if you've got nothing more to add, it would be appriciated if you left the channel [12:06] Cheeky: could you please respond, if there is nothing more constructive you wish to add it would be appriciated if you left the channel [12:06] he has debian unstable in his sources list [12:07] yeah sure [12:07] Cheeky: thank you [12:07] just .. umm know that wat you guys did was kinda wrong and dont think it was right [12:07] Cheeky: ok, thanks, [12:08] rememeber wat goes around comes around [12:08] ok, as you said earlier [12:10] * jussi01 takes a deep breath [12:10] * ikonia puts the oxygen mask on [12:10] Hmm he's just joined ##linux, I wonder what the odds of a bad mouthing are ;) [12:12] surprislingly not [12:12] how nice [12:19] it'll happen [12:19] all looks good [12:41] i didnt say it'll happen right away [13:03] it tends to go like this... kid enters ##linux > kid lurks a while > kid asks question about ubuntu > kid gets directed to #ubuntu > *snap* [13:06] look, can anyone lend me some web hosting for !offline, my provider just won't let me upload the stuff it needs to work. i need php and ftp access, no shell, and for that matter no ftp access if the php settings allow accessing remote sites [13:06] and has gzip [13:07] * Nafallo doesn't allow php [13:09] LjL: what do you need? I can give you an account on ubottu's server if its not too heavy [13:10] LjL: I own the whole server, so I can give you pretty much anything you need/want [13:11] jussi01: the heavy parts are the bandwidth to upload package lists (but that's only when a new ubuntu release is out), and the CPU to turn that into a database (once again, only once). then it does use some CPU on queries, i guess, since they're recursive, but i doubt it will get that many hits. but i forgot to say obviously i need a DB too (though i guess any will do) [13:12] LjL: ok. can do. :) [13:13] LjL: I got to run for a few mins, if stdin is around he can set it up too. [13:13] thanks. i've tried adding hardy and gutsy yesterday, but aside from uploading at like 15kb/s, my free provider just won't let me upload big files like that [15:16] ikonia, see the comment by bullguard4 will I bf him to here? [15:17] it is with some regret I am going to ban forward bullguard4 from #ubuntu to here [15:17] this is the basis of the ban - they have kept asking what various files do within the kernel, they should be pointed at the kernel janitors mailing list for what they are at the moment, this is the general message for them if I am not here: while it is admirable that you have gotten so interested in the inner workings of the linux kernel and such like you have been advised to not be asking the likes of that question in #ubuntu [15:17] it is a kernel dev question not a ubuntu support question [15:29] hi bullgard4 you have kept asking what various files do within the kernel, you should look at the kernel janitors mailing list for what goes where and why, it is really beyond the scope of #ubuntu [15:29] it is a kernel dev question not a ubuntu support question [15:30] bullgard4, do you understand that you have moved to a level that is no longer general support but very program specific [15:30] I take that as a no [15:30] ompaul: I have put a question in the #ubuntu channel that arose because I am using Ubuntu. [15:32] bullgard4, it is not the kind of thing that can be supported with "how do I do grub X" things it needs kernel knowledge, and in depth, it is not an area we are suited to, nor are we likely to be able to, however I do like the level you have gotten to, I would point you to the likes of the list I pointed you to earlier today [15:33] bullgard4, it would be nice to be all things to all people but that is a "how does my kernel work" question, this mornings question was about commits that IBM had made to the kernel [15:34] bullgard4, you are as far as i am concerned and ikonia is concerned way out of line with these questions, they are interesting asides, perhaps if you were to try and entertain that as a conversation piece in #ubuntu-offtopic it might get some traction [15:35] bullgard4, do you see the point? [15:38] ompaul: The point is this: If nobody knows the answer to a question which I have put, then nobody needs to answer. And that's it. A hint where to find the anwerr [15:38] ompaul: The point is this: If nobody knows the answer to a question which I have put, then nobody needs to answer. And that's it. A hint where to find the answer would be appreciated. [15:38] bullgard4, I gave you a hint this morning - linux kernel mailing list [15:39] it is the same answer again, if you want to get your hands dirty with this stuff the kernel janitors list is also useful [15:40] bullgard4, does that help? [15:41] ompaul: I remember this. I am subscribing to the LKML. This list is often unsuitable to me because the participants will only discuss questions about kernel versions which are ahead of the current Ubuntu kernel version. [15:41] bullgard4, however you are looking at console operations, the information on searching their mailing list helps you find the origins of these files [15:43] bullgard4, well you have a series of operators saying don't do it in #ubuntu will you see if anyone will entertain a conversation of such dept in #ubuntu-offtopic? [15:44] Searching in their mailing lists is often tedious as they take into account many different distributions and not the specifics of the Ubuntu distribution. [15:45] bullgard4, the basic kernel does not change substantially between the hands of kernel.org and the ubuntu devs [15:45] bullgard4, there are 9 million lines or thereabouts of code in the kernel [15:46] bullgard4, it is not an exact science, why not grab the same kernel from kernel . org and compare it [15:46] see if you have a change [15:47] This is probably true but often I only know in the aftermath if a roblem arose due to a specific kernel version or some other Ubuntu program. [15:48] bullgard4, have you considered getting involved with the devs on a closer basis, i.e. to do some development yourself? [15:48] ompaul: I do not understand what the phrase "see if you have a change" means. [15:49] bullgard4, to see if there is a "diff" between the kernel.org version and the ubuntu one, if there is then it might be worth looking at the debian version of the kernel to try and see if that is where the "change" was introduced, then it hits ubuntu [15:50] ompaul: I have not considered involving with the developers to do some kernel development myself. I am not familiar with several kernel development tools. [15:51] Ok, I understand now what you mean by "see if you have a change". [15:52] bullgard4, you can study and study and study this stuff forever, however it might be more useful for you to actually get your "feet wet" so to speak, get involved perhaps with motu and see if you can contribute in some meaningful way with the distro you run [15:53] ompaul: I am involved already. [15:54] well there is documentation aplenty in the kernel space [15:55] which should clear up what these things are doing [15:55] the kernel is a huge, complex and technical whole. Understanding it involves a lot (and this is a understatement) of reading and programming knowledge. Questions about the kernels inner workings need to be directed to the kernel devs. [15:56] bullgard4, a book released to talk about the 2.6 kernel will be out of date as soon as it released [15:56] bullgard4, I have several of them :) you basically can't know the kernel you can know parts of it [15:56] bullgard4, I have removed your ban, however I am advising you that you are asking the in the wrong place [15:57] bullgard4, I removed you from #ubuntu when you failed to reply to my question [15:58] bullgard4, and as SWAT says kernel devs know more about this, you can do a walk though the kernel but by the time 2 months are out you will be behind the times again [15:58] bullgard4, I would like you to look at a video it might help you understand more about the kernel let me get it for you now [15:59] If I put a question in the channel #ubuntu-kernel, it usually will not be answered. There is (or was) a topic in it that prevents me from asking there even only occasionally. One exception is mjg59 who sometimes gave me valuable answers. [16:00] http://www.linuxelectrons.com/news/linux/16774/greg-kroah-hartman-linux-kernel [16:00] yeap [16:00] the information in that about canonical / ubuntu is wrong but other than that [16:01] it is a good presentation on the size and scope of the kernel [16:01] as is andrew mortons talk to google on the kernel [16:02] ompaul: Thank you for the link. I will try to read the information and to understand what is told there. [16:02] bullgard4, please try to talk to people in -offtopic about it - it is not suitable for #ubuntu [16:03] enjoy [16:04] bullgard4, is there anything else? [16:05] ompaul: I am aware that an endeavour to understand the whole kernel is quite a task. I will not try to completely understand it. My questions arose because I wanted to understand better what is going on when I had some Ubuntu programs on my computer and they did not work as I expected them to work. [16:06] bullgard4, so come over to -offtopic and lets continue this conversation there [16:06] ok [16:06] close this one? ;-) [16:56] Mechdave, can we help you in some way? [16:57] ompaul, Sorry just jumped in here when someone was starting to be a bit offensive and then I forgot about the window being open [16:58] shall leave now [16:58] ack [16:58] np [17:26] @mark bullgard4 sent to talk with people in #ubuntu-offtopic in that twilight zone where the user is too advanced for #u and not a #u-kernel hacker [17:26] The operation succeeded.

ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [18:08] oh? [18:09] and how should they be fixed? [18:09] aegis doesnt exist anymore. Maybe it could be updated to point to the help page here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [18:09] I just updated the page to include the !linuxvirus link too. [18:09] please, thanks and bye : P [18:09] hold on [18:10] mk [18:10] exact fixes please [18:10] hehe, you guys usually reject my exact fixes, but I can work on it [18:11] usually it helps if you tell why something should be updated [18:11] and since you've now told us... [18:12] yeah, I noticed that, that why I figured I would just tell you why it needs the update. But hold on, I'm thinking... [18:15] In ubottu, danbh_intrepid said: !no, antivirus is Antivirus is something you don't need on linux, unless you server windows clients.

[18:16] LjL, ahh, I was of the impression that some serious testing showed them failing ahh well [18:16] I suppose emus will get there some time :) [18:17] well, thats what the previous factoid said.
