[00:32] <maco> is that right syntax?
[00:34] <LjL> about ae86-drifter and his "friend's" rm -rf / line... i have past logs of him.
[00:34] <LjL> [Fri Oct 23 2009] [01:22:56] Join       ae86-drifter has joined this channel (n=nathan@brothe3.lnk.telstra.net). [Fri Oct 23 2009] [02:32:49] <ae86-drifter>     whats a good way to completely wipe my ubuntu [Fri Oct 23 2009] [02:33:04] <ae86-drifter>     rm -rf /
[00:34] <LjL> [Fri Oct 23 2009] [02:40:27] <ae86-drifter>     i think typing "sudo rm -rf /" will fix most problem in ubuntu?
[00:35] <maco> ugh
[01:03] <cody-somerville> ugh, this channel takes up the position in my channel list tree that #xubuntu used to occupy so I keep clicking on this channel thinking I'm reading #xubuntu and my heart skips a beat.
[02:41] <baudsmoke> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[02:41] <baudsmoke> it says nothing about what software/hardware is affected
[02:41] <baudsmoke> err vulnerable
[02:42] <baudsmoke> My router does not support firmware updates, it is supposed to update automatically via ISP but the ISP that owns the router is not the ISP I am using. I just use it for extra security
[02:42] <maco> you can connect on port 8001 instead
[02:43] <baudsmoke> is the exploit only for people on freenode? or Every irc network?
[02:43] <maco> every
[02:43] <baudsmoke> then using 8001 on freenode does nothing to fix the problem
[02:43] <maco> i thought you just wanted to get back into #ubuntu
[02:44] <maco> ummm..is your router supported by tomato, dd-wrt, or openwrt?
[02:44] <baudsmoke> naah, I stumbled upon this link on the forums and am trying to figure out if I am vulnerable
[02:44] <maco> ahhh ok
[02:44] <maco> if you're in #ubuntu and someone tries it on the channel...you'll know
[02:45] <baudsmoke> ok
[02:45] <baudsmoke> I am using Xubuntu 9.10
[02:48] <baudsmoke> Its a D-Link
[05:10] <nixternal> hey, what was the trigger used to find out the next meeting(s) with the silly bot?
[05:19] <genii> @time
[05:19] <genii> Hm, used to also tell the next meeting
[05:23] <genii> nixternal: @schedule points to the event calendar now

[06:57] <bazhang> he has been on a trolling tear these last 2 days or so

[06:58] <bazhang> jussi01, aye
[06:58] <maco> bahaha nalioth's freenode staff cloak scred one off
[07:06] <Flannel> jussi01: He was warned earlier today
[07:07] <jussi01> who?
[07:07] <Flannel> meowbuntu
[07:08]  * jussi01 sighs and goes to try find coffee,
[07:08] <Flannel> Nine hours and fourty minutes ago
[07:10] <mneptok> was that ops call about Mint *again*?!
[07:10] <Flannel> I didn't see any reason given, actually.
[07:11] <jussi01> no, me either
[07:11] <mneptok> jussi01: are you talking to meow?
[07:12] <jussi01> no.
[07:12] <jussi01> Im asleep
[07:12] <jussi01> please feel free

[07:36] <MenZa> What the...
[07:36] <MenZa> DrManhattan has just joined several of my channels on QuakeNet. Which are all in Danish o_o
[07:37] <MenZa> I am befuzzled.
[07:37] <Flannel> MenZa: He wubs you!
[07:37] <MenZa> That's... that's scary.
[07:40] <MenZa> COnfirmed, host is the same
[07:40] <MenZa> Confirmed*
[07:40] <MenZa> That's just weird
[07:41]  * MenZa boggles, scratches head
[07:41] <jussi01> MenZa: you got your first fan club member, congratulations.
[07:41] <MenZa> huzzah!
[07:42]  * MenZa turns his boggling into a little jig
[07:42]  * MenZa slides jussi01 a coffee
[07:42] <jussi01> MenZa: you are genii and I caim my 5¤
[07:43] <MenZa> \o/ /o\
[07:53] <dholbach> good morning
[08:00] <ikonia> bazhang: who/what was that avash/buddi thing last night ?
[08:01] <Flannel> ikonia: avash [08:02] <Flannel> He got banned in #u, and subsequently in -ot for connecting with three names and being generally obnoxious, apparently tonight he got a new IP (and discovered webchat) and had at it again.
[08:03] <jussi01> ikonia: got a second?
[08:06] <MenZa> avash, asmodeus, the_big_cat, takeyourpick
[08:06] <MenZa> you name it, he's had it
[08:08] <jussi01> anyone know how tto look at this regex?
[08:08] <jussi01> adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
[08:08] <jussi01> via the NAME_REGEX configuration variable.  Use the `--force-badname'
[08:08] <jussi01> option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX.
[08:10] <Flannel> jussi01: Where oh, adduser?
[08:10] <jussi01> yea
[08:12] <Flannel> The default is (from adduser.conf man page): ^[a-z][-a-z0-9]*$
[08:13] <jussi01> so I cant have a . ?
[08:13] <Flannel> Not by default, no.
[08:13] <Flannel> Just lowercase, numbers, and dash.  Beginning with a lowercase letter.
[08:13] <jussi01> but there should be no real issues with a . ?
[08:14] <Flannel> Hmm.
[08:14] <jussi01> All the usernames currently have .'s...
[08:14] <Flannel> You wouldn't be able to use the dot version of chmod (user.group)
[08:14] <Flannel> or, at least, there's possibility of issues with it.
[08:15] <Flannel> I have no idea what other complications may arise.  But if you set that variable (in your conf file) you can make it check against whatever you want
[09:42] <ardchoille> shra just announced a new bot in #ubuntu. Is this bot authorized?
[09:43] <Flannel> ardchoille: Thanks, I'll take care of it
[09:44] <ardchoille> Thanks Flannel
[09:44] <Flannel> Looks like it might be asmodeus
[09:47] <Flannel> Ooh, notice spam.
[09:48] <shra> Flannel: u mad asmodeus_
[09:48] <shra> ikonia: u r mad
[09:49] <Flannel> shra: Please stop evading your bans.
[09:49] <shra> 15:34 <+Flannel> shra: Please stop evading your bans.
[09:53] <shra> Flannel: fuck  you  dude
[09:53] <shra> Flannel: suck my dick pal
[09:53] <shra> Flannel: make me cum
[09:54] <shra> Flannel: simmer my emotions
[09:54] <shra> Flannel: make my cock big
[09:54] <jussi01> oh, that was lovely...
[09:55] <Tm_T> awww
[09:55] <Tm_T> not to mention that asmodeus_ is in club-u
[09:57] <Flannel> He's a trouble maker on his own accord.
[09:57] <Tm_T> same ip has those two, hmmmm
[09:58] <Flannel> Yeah, asmodeus/avash/et al join with a bunch of clients and talk nonsense to each other.  That's why they were banned yesterday (two days ago?) in #u and -ot
[09:59] <Tm_T> roger
[12:41] <bazhang> baudsmoke, hi
[13:24] <ikonia> jussi01: sorry missed you, I was driving to a clients site
[13:24] <jussi01> ikonia: all good
[13:25] <jussi01> sorted now methinks.
[13:25] <ikonia> sorry
[13:25] <jussi01> no probs
[14:13]  * genii sips his hot chocolate
[14:14] <ikonia> that's different
[14:17] <genii> ikonia: I'm trying to cut down on caffeine (mostly from doctor's recommendation)
[14:46] <MenZa> :O
[14:46] <MenZa> whoa
[14:46]  * MenZa hugs genii tightly.
[14:46] <MenZa> Are... are you, er, okay?
[14:46] <bazhang> just thinking about you genii
[14:47] <MenZa> My thoughts, too, are with you, genii
[14:47] <bazhang> not seen you much of late, except to say good night
[14:47]  * MenZa nods
[14:49] <genii> MenZa: I'm OK for most part, just need to take care of myself a bit better to reduce heart probs/risks. So this means less caffeine and red meats, etc.
[14:50] <ikonia> genii: key words there
[14:50] <genii> bazhang: It's been busy here
[14:51]  * MenZa hugs genii 
[14:51]  * genii hands MenZa a coffee
[14:51] <bazhang> w00t
[14:51] <bazhang> he's back!
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> Hmm
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> Now this is weird. I /join #ubuntu and it pops me in here. I just set up a VPN.
[15:46] <jussi01> Dr_Willis: means there is a forward on some part of your identity
[15:46]  * jussi01 looks
[15:47] <jussi01> Dr_Willis: just a moment while I see why it was set
[15:49] <jussi01> Dr_Willis: looks like your ip has been used by some not so nice people...
[15:49] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: what are you vpn'ing into ?
[15:49] <jussi01> is it some sort of public service? or?
[15:50] <jussi01> hei ikonia, its your forward, so all yours
[15:50] <jussi01> :)
[15:50] <ikonia> it's xcvasdsdfs's ip
[15:50] <ikonia> I recognise it
[15:51] <jussi01> it is
[15:51] <jussi01> and mesulah (same person I guess)
[15:52] <ikonia> yup
[15:52] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: what is it a vpn to ?
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> this free service i just read about.. let me track down the url
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> http://itshidden.com
[15:58] <ikonia> ahhh yes
[15:58] <ikonia> I'm aware of that one
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> speedtest web site shows their ip.  - well an ip in Europe at least
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> freenode  -- | #ubuntu: #ubuntu-ops :Forwarding to another channel
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> so it seems its freenode doing the forwarding?
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> due to bad peoples abuseing the vpn.
[15:59] <Pici> Sure, but only because we set a forward.
[16:00] <Pici> And yes, we set the forward because we've had abuse from it.
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> Ok. Well one of the Ubuntu/Tutorial sites mention how to use it. So there may be a bit more people trying it soon.
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> I just tried it out - because my ISP is being such jerks with torrents
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> I can ssh to the other box i got and use irc from it. SO its no big deal for me.
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> I was just toying with the VPN so i can see how it actually works. Sort of a neat feature really
[16:02] <Pici> Dr_Willis: Do you have a link to the tutorial site that mentions it?
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> lets see. it was on of the dozen RSS feeds i got
[16:03] <ikonia> thanks, that would be helpful
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> http://ubuntu-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/07/jaunty-vpn-itshiddencom.html
[16:03] <Pici> Thanks
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> http://ubuntu-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/12/karmic-vpn-itshiddencom.html
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> actually is the url. :) the other is older.
[16:04] <ikonia> ah ha, not an official ubuntu link
[16:04] <ikonia> I'll have a read now
[16:04] <Pici> Did you think it was going to be one?
[16:04] <ikonia> yes
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> Yea. Igot about a dozen+ RSS feeds  i keep up with. Learn lots of neat things.

[16:04] <Pici> ikonia: I'm going to take this up with staff, we shoudln't have to be dealing with this directly.
[16:05] <ikonia> Pici: ok, your call
[16:05] <ikonia> thank you
[16:05] <Tm_T> LordObama: erm
[16:06] <LordObama> yes
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> ive neer messed with a VPN befor. So im just expreimenting. Had me confused for a bit.
[16:06] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: seems an ok vpn test, but looks like it's locked you out of #ubuntu
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> No biggie. :) i got a spare server  i can ssh to then run weechat.
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> Im assuming a VPN is an all or nothing. I cant set one app to not use the vpn?
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> Time for me to read up on vpns
[16:08] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: pretty much all or nothing, you can do network routing through a vpn though if you have multi-nic setup, but that's getting in deep
[16:08] <maco> split tunneling
[16:08] <maco> i use that for my vpn for work
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> Ok. :) starting with the basics at -> http://compnetworking.about.com/od/vpn/a/vpn_tutorial.htm  for now. I COULD set up a vpn server here so my brother could connect to my pc? He would like that.
[16:09] <maco> you can set certain ip masks to go through wlan0 instead of tun0
[16:09] <maco> if you're good at using the route command
[16:10] <Pici> FYI: I'm updating the bans to be forwards to #ubuntu-proxy-users
[16:10] <ikonia> Pici: ok
[16:10] <ikonia> thank you
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> well off to do some reading
[16:25] <Pici> hmmm
[16:28] <Pici> I think I found a bantracker bug.
[16:28] <jussi01> ooh, fun :) :P
[16:32] <ikonia> hello mcvj
[16:33] <mcvj> hi
[16:34] <ikonia> mcvj: how can we help you today
[16:34] <ikonia> oh
[16:35] <theacolyte> Hi there, any of you deal with #ubuntu-br?
[16:35] <ikonia> theacolyte: #ubuntu-irc has some guys that do, what's up ?
[16:35] <theacolyte> We're (##windows, ##windows-server) currently under assault by some members of #ubuntu-br - I've banned most of them now, but I'm concerned.
[16:36] <ikonia> rightly so by the sounds of it
[16:36] <theacolyte> They may also be coming from another channel, #vivaolinux
[16:36] <theacolyte> Hard to tell at the moment
[16:36] <theacolyte> Figured I'd give you a heads up
[16:37] <ikonia> appreciated, I believe one of them has just joined here and parted because his IP was banned from previous problems
[16:37] <bazhang> theacolyte, any nicks?
[16:37] <theacolyte> thedoor, annakamilla are two of them - seems like they were the big ones
[16:38] <bazhang> mcvj as well I would imagine
[16:38] <theacolyte> I believe so, yeah
[16:38] <theacolyte> Although it looks like he/she didn't say anything yet
[16:39] <theacolyte> At any rate, I don't believe any action is required, just more of a heads up
[16:39] <theacolyte> Thanks for listening :)
[16:40] <bazhang> thanks :)
[16:42] <bazhang> yep that seems to be a troll haven; not good that it's in ubuntu namespace
[16:43] <ikonia> some solid brazil ops would be helpful then
[16:43] <ikonia> maybe this is something the council can look at as part of the new processes they are picking up - channels that use the ubuntu name that don't have enough/quality staff
[16:44] <bazhang> #ubuntugames is an official channel ?
[16:45] <ikonia> I've seen that before - I didn't think it was
[16:47] <jpds> Ursula is an ubuntumember whose an op in -br.
[16:49] <ikonia> that's handy to know
[16:52] <bazhang> nope not official, they admitted themselves, also using #ubuntu-br to plan trolling raids against ##windows
[17:02] <ikonia> then I'd suggest the council needs to step in as we don't want our own ##archlinux-offtopic
[17:03] <bazhang> spoke to user thedoor and he admitted there and #vivaolinux along with a number of others were where they planned the raids
[17:07] <ikonia> don't care about vivaolinux - ubuntu-br though is a reflection on the #ubuntu-name space, in the same way #archlinux-offtopic is on #archlinux
[17:08] <bazhang> right, just explaining my conversation with him.
[17:09] <ikonia> no no, I understand
[17:10] <ikonia> maco: you're on fine form
[17:11] <maco> what, dealing with the user you gave up on?
[17:14] <ikonia> yes
[17:22] <jussi01> ikonia: see PM
[17:33] <ikonia> maco: must dash, kudos for persisting with him and getting him that far, looks like I was wrong about him not being genuine
[17:34] <Pici> maco: Mind moving your conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic or pm? Its not really related to Ubuntu support.
[17:35] <maco> or i could just drop it as this person doesnt want to listen
[17:35] <Pici> or that too ;)
[17:35] <maco> i would like to throw this 1084-page long security book at them
[17:38] <maco> (no i havent read the whole thing yet. however i have read all the policy parts. and taken multiple policy classes, so nyeh)
[17:54] <PhantomLink> ikonia
[17:54] <maco> i think ikonia just headed out
[17:54] <PhantomLink> D'oh!
[17:54] <maco> about 20 minutes ago
[17:55] <PhantomLink> I got kicked for my script again.
[17:55] <PhantomLink> I shouldn't have been in there in the first place.
[17:55] <PhantomLink> I don't go there with this computer anymore.
[17:55]  * PhantomLink double-checks his autojoin list...
[17:56] <PhantomLink> I've removed #ubuntu from my autojoin.
[18:06] <PhantomLink> Sorry about that, I didn't mean to idle for so long.
[18:06] <PhantomLink> Anyway, my script will no longer show up in ubuntu from now on.
[18:06] <PhantomLink> If ikonia needs to talk to me, have him invite me in please.
[19:12] <Pici> ikonia: ping
[20:27] <Pici> genii: if you did a hook, then you probably have a lot of people in -unregged.
[20:28] <tsimpson_> Pici: nope
[20:28] <tsimpson_> empty in fact
[20:28] <Pici> must have not been that many caught by the split in #k then
[20:31] <tsimpson_> we do have +J 2,5, I'm thinking we should adjust that for #k but +J confuses me
[20:39] <ikonia> Pici: saw him, thanks
[20:39] <Pici> ikonia: huh?
[20:39] <maco> Pici: phantom above was looking for ikonia before
[20:39] <ikonia> I assume that's what you pinged me for
[20:39] <Pici> ikonia: ping about something other than ikonia
[20:39] <maco> about 5 minutes before
[20:39] <Pici> er, s/ikonia/phantom/
[20:39] <ikonia> ahhh
[20:40] <Pici> pm?
[20:40] <ikonia> Pici: always
