genii-aroundThat guy is annoying00:21
genii-aroundI get the feeling he's going to pop in everytime someone suggests to a user to google something00:22
PiciI just invited him, so hopefully he pops in sooner than that.00:22
genii-aroundHehe00:22
jdongjeez did we give him trouble for JFGI or something? is he trying to be a smartass?00:23
genii-aroundHe got a talking-to earlier about sending users off to pages he had just googled but had nothing to do with actual issue00:24
jdongah.00:24
genii-aroundI think something like xammp install when someone wanted LAMP or so00:25
PiciIndeed.00:25
genii-aroundPici: I'm contemplating spuriously recommending to him to use his google-fu, then watch him come here to quote me and leave.... ;)00:49
genii-aroundPici: I frankly think he lies about the problem he supposedly has audio-wise01:08
Picigenii-around: I haven't been watching, I thought he had an aTI issiue01:08
genii-aroundMaybe his problem keeps changing depending upon his whim (is my suspicion)01:09
genii-aroundInteresting. "kubuntu-members-kde4" sounds intriguing02:15
naliothin what context?02:29
genii-aroundnalioth: In the sense that it's a distribution according to the bot02:31

ikoniaLjL he's inviting me to his channel like 100 times, and messaging me asking how to get back, and saying oh, he's already in13:27
ikoniaI'll re-phrase that, he's giving the impression of trying to get in13:28

Pici<?cw-brad> topyli | as i herd theres a debian thing that jaunty was going to use20:03
LjLPici: meh, only about 25000 packages20:12
PriceChild< erUSUL> PriceChild: FYI « echo 'APT::Install-Recommends "0";' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf » adapted from  http://debianalwaysmore.blogspot.com/2008/05/apt-get-install-without-recommends.html20:16
LjLah uhm judging from -ot, cw-brad must not be just an idiot, but a troll...20:17
PriceChildHaven't looked at that yet. but don't think we have a factoid and if its sane (i believe so?) then maybe..?20:17
LjLPriceChild: it's relatively sane, until a couple releases ago recommends weren't being pulled by default to begin with20:18
PriceChildyep20:18
LjLPriceChild: however, why would one do that20:18
LjLPriceChild: when one has aptitude --without-recommends20:19
PriceChildI can just imagine people would like to stick to apt-get. meh just an idea.20:20
LjLPriceChild: possibly. but there's a but, being that since recommends are brought in by default, a few important-but-not-vital dependencies have been moved to recommends20:22
LjLso it's probably generally speaking a bad idea, although not a *terrible* idea, to avoid isntalling them by default20:23
PriceChildyep20:23
LjLfor instance, ubuntu-desktop only brings in network-manager and its friends as recommends20:23
LjLaptitude lets you avoid installing them selectively, which is probably better in most cases20:24
PriceChildit just struck me because i remember a recent blog post about firefox bringing in a ridiculous amount of packages in kubuntu20:24
LjLPriceChild: was discussing that with someone yesterday, and eventually it seemed to be because of ubufox, which is indeed a recommends20:25
LjL(not because of firefox-whatever-gnome-support, which is merely a suggests)20:25
PriceChildyep20:26
Flannelthe recommends vs suggests issue isn't a fun one, thats for sure.20:35

LjL@mark #ubuntu-ops cw-brad21:01
ubottuThe operation succeeded.21:01
LjL!test21:25
LjLi believe a netsplit is incoming21:25
PriceChildservices seem to be lagging21:26
LjLand not just services21:26
LjLhere it comes21:27
PriceChildWe're looking into it.21:28
jdongthat's what she said?21:28
jdongack PriceChild why did you have to go in between us like that?21:28
LjLhmmm this was several different splits21:31
jdongok that one I can't turn into an innuendo.21:32
LjLjdong: try asking mc44, maybe he can21:32
genii-aroundThat was an interesting global notice21:34
LjLseen the global notice, informed the ops on the split servers.21:34
PriceChildumode +w21:35
LjLfunny21:35
LjLservices are on card21:35
LjLwhich is the server with about the least people on21:35
LjL(6 people in #ubuntu)21:35

jdongso much for netsplit detection.21:46
ajmitchmy eyes21:47
PriceChildYou'll live.21:47
PriceChild(that's me speaking personally, not as freenode! :P)21:47
naliothjdong: if all were on one side, what's to detect?21:48
naliothjdong: this was a biggy21:48
jdongI guess so21:49
LjLPriceChild: you say that because you weren't on their side of the netsplit ;)21:49
LjLjdong: what did the netsplit detection do?21:49
PriceChildLjL: most nicks came back individually.21:49
jdongLjL: spam my screen with a page of rejoins21:49
PriceChildwell not most, but many21:50
LjLjdong: ah, so like all other clients that people use.21:50
jdongLjL: yup21:50
jdongwhat's up with the Guest###### naming scheme, btw?21:50
jdong</ignorance>21:50
PriceChildjdong: /msg nickserv help set enforce21:51
LjLwhich is now default, i believe21:51
PriceChildWow is it?21:51
jdongPriceChild: neat.21:51
LjLPriceChild: for new nicks with the new services, i suspect so, although i never actually tested21:51
LjLdon't kick Guest51470 by the way21:51
PriceChildI don't think it is.. *triple checks*21:51
naliothnickserv enforce is 'opt in'21:53
naliothit is not default in any way21:53
LjLi based my assumption on the fact i see so many people being forced to change nicks21:53
LjLwhile i didn't notice so many nick collisions with the old services21:53
PriceChildits not nick collisions, and its a new feature with atheme that theia didn't have21:54
naliothquite.21:54
naliothand the split has messed up folks' auto identify on connect  stuff21:55
LjLno, *now* it's not nick collisions21:55
LjLbut the equivalent feature in the old services was if i'm not very mistaken21:55
PriceChildthat's still available in atheme (ghosting?)21:56
naliothyes, we still have nick collisions21:56
PriceChildthere is also a non-automatic individual "force nick change" by way of 'release' i believe.21:56
LjLPriceChild: yes you surely can ghost, but i think "enforce" in the old services resulted in you being just killed (with a nick collision message) if you didn't change your nick in time21:57
LjLthe italian guys have made me do a modification to their floodbots, to send messages to "guests" asking them to change their nick, and then explaining how to register21:57
PriceChildI don't believe there was 'enforce' in theia?21:57
PriceChildi'm probably wrong21:58
LjLPriceChild: i think there was something akin. of course i might be mistaken, no way to check now.21:58
* PriceChild compiles, installs and links hyperion and theia21:58
PriceChildSee you in a few days..21:58
LjLheh21:58
naliothPriceChild: the old services did not have it enabled, no21:58
LjLnot *enabled*? ah, so perhaps i was just seeing the command being listed in HELP21:59
naliothyes, there were lots of commands listed in the help that were not actually available21:59
PiciLF|KDE: How can we help you today?22:19
