| dragon | and Automount should be an alias for autofs, but I'm not sure how to do that. | 00:29 |

| ubottu | I'll remember that, Pici | 00:29 |
| Pici | !automount is <alias> autofs | 00:30 |
| dragon | Pici: thanks | 00:30 |
| Pici | dragon: looks good | 00:30 |

| dragon | yep good | 00:30 |
| dragon | see ya later | 00:30 |
| Pici | nice when the bots ban zewb so we dont have to | 00:43 |
| LjL | #ubuntuforums [01:34:40] <Bachstelze> Congrats, you are now educated! [01:36:03] <axionix> educated enough to avoid the kline that was bestowed upon me [01:36:27] <LjL> what, you evaded a k-line? [01:36:38] <axionix> no comment [01:36:40] <LjL> you do realize that freenode staff hate when people do that [01:36:42] <Snova> Not educated enough, apparently [01:36:53] <Bachstelze> lmao [01:38:43] <axionix> not surprising. ever since rob passed away freenode | 00:44 |
| LjL | became pretty hateful | 00:44 |
| LjL | some staff members may at some point want to look at that | 00:44 |
| Flannel | +z for ubottu after three? | 00:47 |
| Flannel | er, +b | 00:47 |
| Flannel | whatever | 00:47 |

| Crash1hd | unable to join ubuntu? | 02:31 |
| Pici | Crash1hd: Have you followed the directions in the topic of #ubuntu-read-topic? | 02:32 |
| Crash1hd | yes | 02:32 |
| Pici | Crash1hd: And what happened? | 02:33 |
| Crash1hd | nothing | 02:33 |
| Crash1hd | my firmware is up to date | 02:34 |
| Pici | can you try the 'test me' thing again please? | 02:34 |
| Pici | yes 'nothing' | 02:34 |
| Pici | Crash1hd: looks like that wasn't nothing/ | 02:35 |
| Crash1hd | it just comes back with Sorry, but I am unable to test you (are you using your usual nickname?). Please contact the operators (type « /topic » to find out how) | 02:35 |
| Pici | Crash1hd: Thats okay, but the other bot did test you, and you got disconnected. | 02:35 |
| Pici | I suggest that you connect over port 8001 and then get re-tested | 02:35 |
| Crash1hd | yep | 02:35 |
| Pici | The only important bot is FloodBot1, not FloodBotK1 | 02:36 |
| Pici | (we're aware its confusing and we're going to fix that soon) | 02:36 |
| Flannel | Staffy people, troll in #math | 05:45 |
| Myrtti | smack me if sabdfl joins -ot and I start to veer towards something snappy about Linux being hard to understand | 06:02 |
| Flannel | What? | 06:02 |
| Flannel | Er... ok. | 06:02 |
| Flannel | that just seems oddly specific | 06:02 |
| Myrtti | http://identi.ca/conversation/10610963 | 06:04 |
| Myrtti | "Linux is hard, let's go shopping!" | 06:05 |
| Amaranth | Did a doll ever actually say something like that? | 06:07 |
| Amaranth | <blank> is hard, let's go shopping | 06:08 |
| Myrtti | Amaranth: yes, a Barbie | 06:08 |
| Myrtti | Maths is hard, let's go shopping | 06:08 |
| Amaranth | I thought that was just a joke | 06:08 |
| Amaranth | holy crap | 06:08 |
| Myrtti | early indoctrination, yay! | 06:09 |
| Amaranth | And of course she can only go shopping without worrying about math because Ken takes care of all the bills, right? | 06:09 |
| Flannel | I believe they were two separate statements, but that's not terribly important. | 06:09 |
| Flannel | Pull the string once, pull it again, etc. | 06:09 |
| Amaranth | Flannel: Yeah, it was probably saying them in a random order and those two popped out | 06:09 |
| * Flannel wonders if his grandmother owns said barbie. | 06:10 | |
| Myrtti | argh, now I've got Moby's In My Life intro in my head | 06:10 |
| Myrtti | like three chords playing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over | 06:10 |
| Myrtti | and I'm starting to feel I'm not fit for IRC again | 06:11 |
| elky | Amaranth, talking malibu stacey in the simpsons did too, remember. | 06:41 |
| Amaranth | yeah, I thought that was where it came from | 06:42 |
| elky | hence the lisa lionheart doll | 06:50 |
| elky | rargh at all this "it wasn't me, but i'll stop it" | 08:45 |
| MenZa | morning, elky | 08:51 |
| jpds | Morning. | 09:21 |
| wizzo | would anyone be able to tell me what happened with thewizord, fogobogo and bruenig? | 10:02 |
| Flannel | wizzo: We don't discuss bans with third parties, so likely not. | 10:05 |
| wizzo | well I suppose it sort of affects me since there are apparently staffers hanging out in the archlinux offtopic channel now because of it | 10:07 |
| Flannel | wizzo: The background of you being an operator in said channel might've been relevant to bring up in your original question | 10:10 |
| ikonia | wizzo: I sugget you speak to staff (tomaw is a good start) in #freenode | 10:24 |
| wizzo | thanks, although I probably won't worry about it in that case | 10:25 |
| ikonia | wizzo: anything else you need in here ? | 10:28 |
| wizzo | spose not, thankyou | 10:29 |
| MenZa | this could be one-hell-of-an awesome idea, or it could be the mistake of my life | 10:34 |
| ikonia | some of the council members may wish to talk to wizzo in private (I've not sent my email yet - sorry) | 10:35 |
| elky | ikonia, about what? only just got home, i'm missing context | 10:37 |
| ikonia | elky: he's one of the ops for archlinux-offtopic, there was a more monkey business last night, staff used the k hammer on some people, he was trying to find out what is going | 10:38 |
| ikonia | "going on" sorry | 10:38 |
| Flannel | MenZa: which one's that? | 10:39 |
| elky | ikonia, ah. | 10:39 |
| MenZa | well, Flannel, it wasn't meant for here, but rather -ot, but my ALT key appears to dislike changing to channels now. | 10:39 |
| jussi01 | if staff used the khammer, why hasnt he talked to them to find out? | 10:39 |
| elky | jussi01, that's where he's been directed to go as of 15 mins ago, it seems | 10:41 |
| ikonia | correct | 10:42 |
| ikonia | however I also think he was trying to understand what was going on in the channel | 10:42 |
| ikonia | I suspect he knows more than he is letting on as he knew to come here.....which is a random channel to pick unless you know the trolling is going on | 10:42 |
| jussi01 | I guess i missed some with the spit | 10:43 |
| jussi01 | split even | 10:45 |
| ikonia | I just thought if he was genuine about not knowning what was going on the concil filling him in may help | 10:45 |
| jussi01 | ikonia: My first thought is the staffers have the info, and he needs to ask them. but I am open to other thoughts. | 10:46 |
| ikonia | I meant with the background, staff acted on that incident, the history, long term trolling may be worth filling in | 10:47 |
| ikonia | however I suspect he knows that as he came here to investigate | 10:47 |
| ikonia | but I obviously don't know for a fact | 10:47 |
| elky | jussi01, -ops channels are not entirely rare. | 10:51 |
| jussi01 | huh? | 10:52 |
| elky | sorry, conflated your nick with ikonia's. | 10:54 |
| ikonia | elky: no but he must have known there was something to do with ubuntu to come here | 10:57 |
| ikonia | why not fedora-ops for example | 10:57 |
| elky | ah | 10:58 |
| MenZa | babu_ may be a rather obvious troll in #ubuntu - monitoring. | 10:58 |
| MenZa | Opinions on the matter in #ubuntu, anyone? Discussing how well Ubuntu is running on someone's machine would be rather ot for #ubuntu, agreed? | 11:04 |
| ikonia | if he's having a problem with it running bad, it's ok | 11:04 |
| MenZa | That's not the case here | 11:04 |
| ikonia | just saying how cool it is could be moved on | 11:04 |
| MenZa | Basically, a discussion about P4s and hardware breaks out, I ask people to take it to -offtopic, Gnea asks me not to call the factoid, I message him asking for an explanation for it, so as not to disrupt the channel | 11:05 |
| MenZa | [2009-09-24 09:53:31 UTC] <MenZa> Pardon? | 11:05 |
| MenZa | [2009-09-24 09:54:09 UTC] <MenZa> I am not asking you as MenZa, I am asking you as a member of the Ubuntu IRC team. I'm simply curious about your comment. Offtopic chat goes in -ot, which I know you are very well aware of. :) | 11:05 |
| MenZa | [2009-09-24 09:54:38 UTC] <Gnea> you're PMing me without asking first. welcome to /ignore. | 11:05 |
| MenZa | In-between my first two lines was his !pm | MenZa in-channel | 11:05 |
| ikonia | hang on, it's gnea your talking about ? | 11:06 |
| MenZa | Correct | 11:06 |
| MenZa | alternatively, /lastlog Tarthen | 11:06 |
| ikonia | he's normally helpful and polite | 11:06 |
| MenZa | That's my experience | 11:06 |
| ikonia | I've not got much logging due to clearing down my logs | 11:06 |
| ikonia | hang on | 11:06 |
| ikonia | ahh, he's pm'ing me now | 11:06 |
| ikonia | I'll sort it out now | 11:07 |
| ikonia | thanks MenZa | 11:07 |
| MenZa | Excellent. Let me know if you need me. | 11:07 |
| ikonia | all sorted MenZa | 11:15 |
| ikonia | MenZa: looks like the discussion was a little more ontopic than suggested as it was trying to find the correct supported hardware if you read back far enough, but its all clean and tidy now, thank you | 11:15 |
| MenZa | Ahh. | 11:15 |
| MenZa | Thanks :) | 11:15 |
| elky | i hope gnea has been told why it's not wise to sass ops with "you're on ignore now" | 11:32 |
| ikonia | yes | 11:35 |
| * Pici grumbles | 13:39 | |
| * MenZa wobbles | 13:44 | |
| ikonia | ? | 13:55 |
| Pici | Oh. I almost forgot about this: We should have #kubuntu forward to a different -read-topic channel. When people request exploit tests, the Kubuntu floodbots are telling them that they're unable to be tested. | 14:46 |
| choonming | hi there | 14:47 |
| choonming | can someone test me for the dcc exploit | 14:47 |
| choonming | i cant join the ubuntu channel | 14:47 |
| Pici | choonming: You've already been tested. | 14:47 |
| choonming | Pici, but im still not able to joing #ubuntu | 14:47 |
| choonming | i patched the firmware and changed the port number | 14:48 |
| Pici | choonming: You should be able to, the ban forward was removed. | 14:48 |
| choonming | thank you | 14:48 |
| gord | i'm gonna take a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild guess, this is an mirc exploit\? | 14:48 |
| Pici | !exploit | 14:48 |
| ubottu | There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit | 14:48 |
| gord | oh, that one. from ages ago. forgot all about that | 14:49 |
| Pici | jussi01: do we need tsimpson for that? | 14:50 |
| jussi01 | Pici: yes. | 14:50 |
| Pici | darn | 14:50 |
| jussi01 | Pici: we still have only 1 floodbot as I have no idea where he keeps the other one... | 14:51 |
| jussi01 | its not a good situation right now. | 14:51 |
| * Pici looks under the couch | 14:51 | |
| ikonia | you can run it from my box that nal uses for one of ubot's if you want | 14:52 |
| jussi01 | ikonia: I dont have the code for it. its not a matter of hosting, its a matter of people not knowing where it is, how to deal with this. | 14:53 |
| Pici | jussi01: I'm muting floodbotk1 in -read-topic for now to ease the confusion | 15:01 |
| jussi01 | Pici: no probs. | 15:01 |
| nalioth | gord: the "mirc exploit" has been patched by mr kardam-bay quite a long time ago | 15:14 |
| nalioth | as far as the bots go, how difficult would it be to have "channel recognition" and just run the FB trio in both channels? | 15:14 |
| gord | nalioth: there seems to be a new one every year | 15:15 |
| Pici | nalioth: I don't think any of us are familiar enough with the bot code to answer that, I'm certainly not. | 15:16 |
| nalioth | gord: no, the current one (which has been in use for years) is the hardware protection exploit (i. e. the D C C S E N D exloit) | 15:16 |
| nalioth | gord: it is entirely coincidental that the word "s t a r t k e y l o g g e r" has enough chars to trip it | 15:17 |
| gord | nalioth: yeah i know that from the ubottu response up there | 15:17 |
| gord | just didn't realise there was still routers vunerable, thought that one had died out | 15:18 |
| nalioth | gord: poeple don't realize that it's not a vulnerability, but a protection mechanism | 15:18 |
| nalioth | this is why patching a lot of 'em has done no good at all | 15:18 |
| Tm_T | hi | 16:24 |
| Pici | Hiyas | 16:25 |
| MenZa | hellooo | 16:25 |
| ubottu | Flare183 called the ops in #ubuntu (federico_) | 18:32 |
| Pici | That was a bit overkill | 18:33 |
| Flannel | Pici: What, you mean instead of calling ops on people, we should try talking to them first? | 18:33 |
| Tm_T | noooo, no talking, you fuss | 18:45 |

| ubottu | !GTK and !Qt are !GUI toolkits (i.e. software libraries that draw buttons, textboxes, etc). !GNOME, !KDE, !Xfce and friends are "!desktop environments", which build on top of such libraries to provide a "consistent" desktop experience. !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu | 23:53 |
| dragon | Isn't this a bit too long? | 23:54 |
| gord | theres a lot to say | 23:55 |
| dragon | gord: maybe the factoid should be split. As per my understanding, Flavors = [Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edu...] | 23:57 |
| dragon | GTK, QT etc. might not be relevant in this context. | 23:58 |
| dragon | -ops get to decide that though | 23:58 |
