[02:14] opersts, idling in both main and -offtopic, seems to enjoy bugging users in PM [02:15] i've seen him do it to others a few times now, and I was the lucky one today :) [02:15] nothing too big, but it could cause a disturbance with someone less familiar with these kind of users [02:15] ah, thanks. I checked him earlier in main, telling someone that asking about wireless wasn't an ubuntu question and to please leave [02:16] he basically accuses users of acting racist, in PM [02:16] then goes on to rant about being rude for mentioning his nickname in the channel, and stuff like: (03:08) or further action may be taken (03:08) of my own choosing. [02:16] wobblywu: he'll be banned if he continues, I warned him now [02:17] nothing major, of course.. but it's a nuisance we might be able to do without, especially if his behaviour is less than useful in main as well :) [02:17] he's an obvious troll though [02:17] right [02:17] you can tell as much just from his /whois [02:18] always fun, being in here... what would I have to do to get an "idling allowed" badge? [02:18] <- good at playing dead [02:18] wondering if it's the same guy as markpee [02:18] I believe he is [02:18] or they have a very similar sense of humour [02:18] *is markpee, that sounds similar to his tactics [02:19] wobblywu: we don't know who you are, for one [02:19] nalioth, really? I end up in here more often than I want to admit [02:20] probably not as often as needed ;p [02:20] I must say I'm fairly lopsided in my channel of activity preference, though [02:20] wobblywu: you are not identified [02:20] nalioth, that's a long story *blames LjL* [02:20] wobblywu: you could be _anyone) [02:20] wobblywu: ergo: we don't know who you are [02:21] might be time to add one of those ACCESS list entries once I remember that password of mine [02:30] guys, opersts is friends with the owner of freenode!

[02:38] you can come back and try again in a few days [02:38] thats unaccetable [02:38] well, you put yourself in the position [02:39] yes well someone has to take control over this place [02:39] i suggest you go clean up efnet or quakenet, then (good practice) [02:39] now let me back so i can teach jrib and tonyyarusso a lesson [02:40] what kind of lesson would that be?

Pity he upgraded to Edgy and didn't stick with Dapper ;) [04:17] erm [04:17] Wuju in -ot could use a looking at [04:23] Hooray pings [04:23] Hmmm, nothing in -monitor?

[10:08] what about the other times [10:08] <|_ocke> i only thought i'd been banned twice, but i guess i'm wrong [10:08] you are [10:08] why do you keep doing it ? [10:09] <|_ocke> i apologize, i don't mean to do it [10:09] tired of people who are persistantly a problem, and you are [10:09] |_ocke: you do it persistantly [10:09] so don't say you didn't mean to do it - you've done it at leat 3 other times and been banned for it [10:09] <|_ocke> it's not like it's somethin i do on purpose in the chan [10:09] yet you keep doing it [10:10] |_ocke, you are responsible for your own actions. we are responsible for keeping our channels clean. you've proven that we cannot trust you in our channels, so we must do what we can to keep them clean [10:11] <|_ocke> i admit i talk more freely in other channels where it is appropriate and results in lively chat when before there was nothing, but i only talk about it in the ubuntu channels unintentionally when i am not in my right mind and don't realize i'm saying such things in the wrong channel [10:12] |_ocke, we cannot afford the manhours to babysit you. [10:12] <|_ocke> and if it's what it takes, i'll promise to leave all ubuntu related channels as soon as i start drinking any day [10:13] you've promised this before, and you fail to do so [10:13] why should we believe you this time?

[13:07] wow, that's helpful :| [13:30] what is the process for people threatening to ban evade with freenode [13:31] ikonia: I think if it happens, contact staff [13:31] I thought as much [13:31] wanted to check [13:31] Ignore it unless they do [13:31] threatening means ban won't be lifted [13:31] he's tried [13:32] mark bt with ban evasion date time and I assume staff will handle it [13:33] can't mark - BT down for comments [13:34] ikonia: Make a note of it and mark the BT later [13:34] already have [13:34] or just mention it here for us to see while the bt is down. [13:34] user klotho banned on ip and nick, tried to change ident to get in but the ip ban caught it [13:34] Morning gang [13:34] pretty nasty little guy [13:34] but I've noted it and will update BT [13:35] @login [13:35] The operation succeeded. [13:35] @btlogin [13:37] ikonia: you can still use @mark [13:38] he's not in the channel, I'll just wait for the database to get back up [13:38] it's not urgent [13:38] just wanted check what the policy was [13:39] ikonia: no... [13:39] @mark [13:39] (mark [] []) -- Creates an entry in the Bantracker as if was kicked from with the comment , if is given it will be uses as the comment on the Bantracker, is only needed when send in /msg [13:39] it's fine, I know what mark does, but there are bans in place, I'd rather stick the comments on them when teh DB is back up so it's clear why [14:21] someone want to take care of vent313 in #ubuntu-offtopic? [14:21] thanks [14:26] ikonia: you can probably comment with @comment [14:27] @help comment [14:27] (comment []) -- Reads or adds the for the ban with , use @bansearch to find the id of a ban [14:27] ta [14:27] you can get the id from @bansearch [14:27] still struggling with what's going on with the database then ? [14:28] yep, I'm guessing it's something to do with permissions, but I don't think I can make the permissions any more lax [14:29] I'm thinking about creating a program that switches UIDs and executes the SQL, that's how disparate I am [14:39] ok, I've kinda fixed it, but I don't know *why* I needed to do it [14:40] What did you do? [14:41] I changed the group of the directory the database is in to www-data and made it group writeable [14:43] I think need to research UNIX permissions [14:44] why would the directory permissions stop a user writing to a file, which it already have write permission to?... [14:44] stdin: IIRC there's some security measurements in apache and stuff that don't allow you to have too permissive folders [14:44] the database isn't in any apache config, it's set in a python script [14:45] I see [14:45] and the script can read the database fine [14:45] so /me is confused [14:45] (again) [14:45] still I assume it's about too liberate permissions [14:46] Doesn't bans.cgi make use of modpython? Its been a while since I've looked at that. [14:47] it just uses pythons cgi module [14:48] and does some funny things with sys.stdout and sys.stderr [14:48] how about stdin? [14:48] oho [14:48] the cgi module handles that ;) [14:56] I love it when you guys talk dirty [14:57] speak more geek to me :-P [14:57] Myrtti: say that to Fujisan? [14:57] :-< [14:57] spoilsport [14:57] sowwy [14:57] just couldn't, well, resist [15:07] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC9ZGt4djzI [15:09] catdog [15:10] What is the channel for people having problems with ubuntu-netbook-remix [15:13] lolwhut?! I is going to fosdem? woooo [15:13] whohoo [15:13] yes? no? maybe? [15:16] * Myrtti can't wait [15:25] Hello, I was told to come here and explain a decent-sized bug that I found with Ubuntu. [15:26] I asked him here to see what he was talking about [15:26] It enables you to gain a root account through the repair console on a computer that is locked [15:26] and rbrunhuber? [15:27] When the computer boots, just add the boot parameter "single" to the last line. That will boot you in the recovery console. Once you get a root shell, passwd...and you now have a root account with the password [15:27] I don't know if it sounds as big as it is, but they have locked the computers down here, and it was quite easy to give my self admin rights to them [15:27] Marfi: hint hint: that's how it works, it's not bug [15:27] it's called recovery console [15:28] if you want it disabled, you can always set a password for it [15:28] Grub can be given a password to not allow changes if needed. [15:28] or remove the option from the menu [15:28] Marfi: someone should make grub password protected if they like to keep them "locked" [15:28] rbrunhuber: Can we help you? [15:28] but that's basically the way it's supposed to work in the first place [15:28] indeed it is [15:29] Okay, I didn't know you could do that. I will run it by tech services, and let them know about it. [15:29] and then of course - if someone with a mal intent is given physical access to your computer - the situation is bad anyway [15:29] Pici: No, I just joined the channel to see what it is about. I never heard of it before. :-). I'm gone. [15:30] I knew that you could use it for recovery, but I didn't know if anyone realized that a root account could be made like that. [15:30] But compared to many of you, I am still very new to the world of Linux, and have much to learn [15:30] banlist is full, we need to make some room.. I just deleted a few... [15:30] I'll remove a few of mine [15:31] @btlogin [15:31] Marfi, We appreciate your concern [15:31] most of them will be taken up with sken [15:31] Jack_Sparrow: in #ubuntu? [15:31] No problem. Have a wonderful day, everyone. [15:31] Marfi: thanks, same to you too [15:31] * Marfi takes the last few cases of Red Stripe, and hands them out to the Ops [15:31] yep [15:31] Enjoy, everyone! =) [15:32] banlist, full? [15:32] wow [15:32] Nearly 400 of them. [15:33] hmmm [15:33] do you think it would be ok to remove some of the bans of the Russians from #ubuntu? [15:33] I've got atleast three [15:34] Myrtti: We can always re-add them if it becomes a problem again. [15:35] We need to set a ban on * tna (n=iso@p54BD4F8D.dip.t-dialin.net to *dip.t-dialin.net to hold off a troll.. can someone assist [15:36] Jack_Sparrow: jrib just did [15:36] thanks [15:36] I'm done [15:38] Jack_Sparrow: I set it on *!n=iso@*.dip.t-dialin.net [15:39] great.. and thanks to pici for removing the others that I used for the short term [15:39] that should be better [15:39] I wonder if I still have that "count who has most bans" oneliner still somewhere [15:39] fyi: /mode -bbb *!*@* *!*@* [15:39] I had not see the log hit full before [15:39] Rather, you can remove multiple bans per command, [15:39] Pici: thats for multiple removes [15:40] Pici: ahh thank you [15:40] Yes. [15:41] Pici: whoaaa thats sken's currnet ban [15:41] ikonia: whoaaa, its improperly formatted.

[15:50] Jack_Sparrow: lots [15:51] I *really* wouldn't ban that mask [15:51] from *.dip.t-dialin.net [15:51] Lets see if this continues [15:52] hes just joined [15:52] tuxina [15:52] Jack_Sparrow: if you want to have fun, type /who *.dip.t-dialin.net [15:53] that'll give you some scope over that host [15:54] Can we do that by channel or is it overall [15:55] /who #ubuntu * *.dip.t-dialin.net [15:56] That doesn't work for me.
