KB1JWQabcdefg is likely going to require watching, Madpilot.  Just FYI03:09
Madpilotya, will do so. fun.03:09
KB1JWQMadpilot: Hey, your channel, your rules.  Just seen him causing trouble elsewhere is all. :-)03:09
MadpilotKB1JWQ, that's good to know - a pattern of trolling is hardly encouraging.03:10

void_pointerHi guys. I find I've been banned from #ubuntu. The last time that happened you told me it was because of a past troll09:58
void_pointerThat was a few days ago. I think it was Flannel who I spoke with on that occasion, although it may have been Myrtti09:59
void_pointeranyone around?10:00
elkykind of. trying to find info10:01
void_pointerok thanks10:01
void_pointer#freenode told me last time to register my nick, they'd do the mask thing, then it could be determined I wasn't the troll10:02
void_pointerI've been going to #ubuntu for years, and this has only happened in the last 2 weeks or so10:02
void_pointerI should never have changed ISP - for a lot of reason ;)10:04
void_pointers10:04
void_pointeranyone?10:08
jussi01void_pointer: patience, we are looking into it10:09
Myrttithere's nothing in the bantracker, no bans I can see in #ubuntu, you've joined previously just fine10:09
Myrtti[10:26] ~~~void_pointer [n=void_poi@unaffiliated/void-pointer/x-0665301] has  joined #ubuntu10:09
void_pointerI know :)10:09
void_pointer#ubuntu unable to join channel (address is banned)10:09
void_pointerIn fact, I was on there about an hour or so again, but when I re-connected (and my dynamic IP changed) I found I was banned.  I was thinking I must have been assigned a past transgressor's IP.10:12
elkyvoid_pointer, we can't see your IP or hostmask. you have a cloak.10:18
void_pointerok, it's 119.11.xxx.xxx that gets assigned. Last time I was told it was the same IP block as someone they were keeping out. You then took it off so I could enter.10:19
jussi01ahh, Flannel10:21
void_pointerYes, I think it was Flannel10:21
void_pointerHe said it had all been fixed10:21
jussi01void_pointer: do you have a pressing need to be in #ubuntu right now?10:23
void_pointerThing is, I like to join and log, then go through the logs at my convenience. I pretty much do it everyday10:23
jussi01Id like to talk to Flannel about this first.10:23
jussi01void_pointer: you do realise the channel is logged?10:23
jussi01!logs10:23
ubottuOfficial channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/10:23
void_pointerok. Heh, this is the 3rd time I've had to do this. Is it Flannel I should ask to resolve the problem permanently?10:24
void_pointerah, thanks for that10:24
void_pointerI'd still like to be able to view the channel real-time as well when I'm active, as well :)10:24
jussi01void_pointer: no, I can do it, I just want to talk to flannel about the situation first, so if you can wait till he wakes up that would be helpful.10:24
jussi01void_pointer: failing that, if you pm me your full address I can grant you an exception on this ip.10:25
void_pointerOk. It's a large ISP in Australia, so I would guess I'm not the only person this is happening to. Probably just one of the more vocal/experienced ones10:25
void_pointer119.11.4.6110:26
void_pointeractually, thinking about it, the last time this was happened I was assigned a 119.11.4.xxx as well. That may be it10:26
jussi01void_pointer: I did say pm... :D anyway, Ill pop an exception for this address on and we can go from there.10:26
void_pointerWell, I don't think any of you are going to start madly portscanning me ;)10:27
jussi01void_pointer: we arent, but as you notice this channel is publically logged10:27
void_pointerOk. actually, before you do it, I'm going to reconnect to get a different subnet and see what happens10:28
elkynot a common aus ip at all10:29
jussi01void_pointer: you are sorted now ;)10:30
void_pointerYep, that was it. The 119.11.4.xxx subnet is banned10:30
void_pointerYeah, thanks :)10:30
jussi01void_pointer: Im well aware of what is banned :)10:30
void_pointerJust for future reference though, it may be affecting a lot of people it wasn't intended to, for not much gain10:30
jussi01void_pointer: Anything else you need?10:31
void_pointerOk, well at least *I* know what's going on now :)10:31
void_pointerJust that you look into that ban. Ciao :)10:31
elkyprobably ok to lift that particular ban as a test10:33
jussi01elky: Id rather wait till Flannel comes in10:35
jussi01because there are 2 of them (.4 and .5)10:35
elkyyeah, im just voicing now, because i'm about to head home.10:35
jussi01and he has an exception on his cloak now, so should be all good10:35
jussi01right10:35

Myrtti[18:24] < occy1> Does anyone know how to get a USB mounted camera to show up  as a drive in    df  ?16:25
Myrttior someone does16:25
MyrttiI must've read something wrong16:25
Picidf is a command16:25
Myrttiusb mounted camera --- as a drive?16:26
MyrttiI must be getting something wrong16:26
PiciCould be a still camera.16:26
Myrttioh, right16:26
Myrttithanks16:26
ikoniamost cameras just act as a usb mass storage controller for the sticks to be mounted16:27
Myrttiyeah, it was just said in a way my brain didn't pick up the meaning16:27
topylimany devices have a small storage for the windows drivers. i know my 3G dongle does16:28
topyliused to show up on ubuntu as storage, had to fix udev rules16:29
Myrttiit must be my tiredness or something16:31
Myrttithat sentence makes perfect sense now16:31
MyrttiI fear my brain is having an AWOL16:34
topylioh, and some cameras do mount nicely as storage. those are the ones you buy. the other ones are the ones you don't :)16:34
Flanneljussi01: The reason he's had to be excempted a few times is because he keeps fiddling with stuff.  First it was his nick, then he registered it, so that stopped, now he's got a cloak, so that hopefully won't change.18:26
jussi01Flannel: yeah, I just got annoyed at him trying to tell me how to do my job ;)18:27
PiciWho?18:27
jussi01Flannel: how important are those bans?18:28
FlannelThe reason .4 and .5 were banned is because they were being used by mr troll, and no one else was using them (and I didn't want to ban 119.11.*).  I still am curious as to whether this guy is the same guy who was causing trouble and now decides he wants to idle18:28
jussi01Pici: void_pointer18:28
jussi01earlier today18:28
Picioh, /me scrolls18:29
FlannelIf we want to remove them, that's fine by me.  The guy already came back once and played dumb and asked for an excemption, and then proceeded to troll.18:29
FlannelSo, if we're going to keep giving him the benefit of the doubt, the bans are basically only useful as warnings to us.18:30
FlannelBut like I said, I still think VP is the same bad apple, based on the way he carries himself18:31
jussi01Flannel: in that case, Ill let you handle it, but please keep me in the loop.18:32
Flanneljussi01: No, I have no evidence other than he rubs me wrong.  We might as well remove them and see how it goes.  If he doesn't troll anymore then... we've got what we've wanted in some respects.18:33
jussi01Flannel: sure, feel free..18:34
jussi01:D18:34
FlannelHmm, what was the previous exemption18:36
FlannelDoesn't show up in the ban list, will it show up with /mode +e?18:39
PiciWell, since its an exemtion, so yes.18:39
Flannel:P18:39
PiciAlso, I'm doing quite badly with spelling today.18:39
Myrttiwelcome to the club18:40

* topyli needs a new internet connection19:10
topyliactually, they have checked every single thing works fine until it reaches this building. the problem is in the house19:11
gordtopyli: adsl?19:13
Flanneltopyli: You should check your house for mice that are stealing your internets.19:13
Myrttiperhaps the mice have changed the cabling from copper to wet yarn19:14
topyligord: yeah19:18
topylii suspect the mice have been peeing on the copper and there is not much left19:20
gordtopyli: take a look at the main.. erm.. connector thing, that one thats in your wall. those things cause hell with adsl. especially if yours is an old one. around here British Telecom sell these iplate things, all they do is disconnect an old 'ringer' wire that isn't used on modern phones and peoples connections get much less interference19:20
topyligord: there's another one in the bedroom. when i have some strenght to lift the 50 gram router, and i'm at home more than 20 waking minutes, i'll see if that one is not as faulty19:21
topyliproblem is, it's not a long term solution. i'm not drawing wire from there to the IPTV in the living room19:22
gordoooh you have another one? an extension is another cause of really bad interference causing problems with ADSL19:22
topyliworks for debugging though. if it's just as bad, i guess we have to throw 50 people out and rebuild the building19:22
topyligord: it's a building of, ohhh, maybe 15 apartments and i guess there are two each19:23
topylihmm i think you're talking about some box that's outside the house, that the phone company is responsible for. all that has been checked19:25
gordnope, i'm talking about the first connection in your house19:27
gordgoogle "bt iplate" to see what i mean aaaaaaaand more info :) course thats english phone network centered19:27
topylioh yeah the same socket you would plug your landline phone in if you had one19:28
topylihmm that iplate looks nothing like mine, but then again no british socket does19:30
gordyeah, but if theres a problem with just your place, chances are its your version of that socket19:31
topyliyeah. or this particular one is simply broken19:32
topylimaybe i'll draw from my vast reserve of loose cash and call someone to have a look :)19:33
