Amaranthseems my membership is about to expire and irc council has to redo it...05:25
Flanneljussi01: You need to renew me (and everyone else!)05:25
Myrttiwell that's an anticlimax05:35
syn-ackHey guys check out "nicker" in #ubuntu... seems to me that he's trying to find some passwords by merely cat'ing /passwd05:43
syn-ackmethinks he's up to no good05:43
Myrttiit's not malicious05:45
Myrttithe passwords are hashed anyways05:46
syn-ackyeah sorry about that, just realised it05:46
Flannel/etc/passwd doesn't include password data (in any form) anyway05:46
syn-ackI know. I was gonna bring that up but I read scroll after the fact, sorry05:46
maco2jussi01: lp says its gonna expire me from kubuntu op'ing. can you renew me or whatever?05:49
Madpilotjussi01, same request as maco2, only WRT ubuntu channels - I sent an LP mail as well05:50
MadpilotI thought the LP side of IRC ops management was going to be self-renewal like Ubuntu Membership is?05:51
Myrttiit's a bug and shouldn't have happened05:51
Myrttihe'll be facepalming extensively when he gets to the computer05:52
Madpilotand buried under LP notifications, as team leader is CC'd to everything LP sends out AFAIK :)05:53
tsimpsonAmaranth, Flannel, maco2, Madpilot: you should be able to self-renew, the email should give you a link to follow05:56
Madpilottsimpson, doesn't seem to.05:57
Madpilotall four LP mails just say "Contact the team and/or team lead", basically05:57
Madpilotnothing on the teams pages either05:58
tsimpson*sigh* the settings are "invite them to apply for renewal", should be "invite them to renew their own membership"05:59
tsimpsonjussi01: we need to change the settings on _all_ the groups as far as I can see06:00
jussi01oh for petes sake :(06:29
mneptokscrew Pete. do it for us.06:32
jussi01Ok everyone, Im sorry about the screwup, but you should be able to now renew yourselves.06:40
jussi01Ill write the the ML also06:40
Myrttinow the question of course is, do I want to... *ponder*06:40
Flanneljussi01: I don't see a renewal doohickey anywhere06:45
jussi01Flannel: let me look at that. I changed all the teams to slef renew, wonder if I need to sort something else.06:47
jussi01ok, so you should all get renewal mail tomorrow.07:07
dholbachgood morning07:07
jussi01Hiya daniel.07:08

Myrtti!staff | complaints about Mirc at #ubuntu, realname suspicious07:24
ubottucomplaints about Mirc at #ubuntu, realname suspicious: Hey nalioth, jenda, rob, SportChick, seanw, Dave2, Christel, tomaw, Gary, PriceChild, niko or stew, I could use a bit of your time :)07:24
Myrtti(btw, should the s t a f f factoid include more nicknames?)07:25
jussi01probably, or different ones depending on who are the staff that like to hang here...07:27
persiaI'm not sure the bot is smart enough, but could it do something like check the cloaks of channel members and highlight ones that match a filter?07:35
persiaThat would grab the right set for that particular call.  I'm less sure for other calls.07:35
jussi01persia: it isnt at the moment, but it could be... you are welcome to join us in #ubuntu-bots-devel and write the plugin :)07:36
* persia has severe trouble with python07:36
jussi01:(07:36
jussi01that said, anyone who feels like contributing, feel free to join us there07:37
elkythe factoids are at least to a degree opt-in07:44
Myrttitrue07:44
elkyif we start pinging every staff here, we might have less hang here07:45
elkyanyway, hoooooooometime07:45
Garyhehe, I'm looking at Mirc, just /cycle'd the chans they are in, no spam07:45
jussi01hrm, but isnt that why staff hang here? to help us out when we need it?07:45
MyrttiGary: that happens07:45
GaryI don't mind being pinged here07:46
elkyjussi01, sure, but they don't necessarily want to be pinged by us. we are only one namespace afterall07:47
Tm_TActually I think ops should have the ops call in hilight, so bot doesnt need to list all07:47
MyrttiGary: I've tried /cycle and I never can replicate it. it might be that the bots have a ruleset that prevents them from spamming people with certain cloaks07:47
persiaelky: Very good point.  automation is nifty keen, but programs don't tend to have a social understanding.07:47
* elky mutters something about technical solutions to social problems ;)07:48
MyrttiGary: m a r i e n z has experienced same07:48
jussi01Hang on, the staff here _are_ opt in, they idle here! why should they object to being pinged for staff issues?07:48
jussi01What is the point of them being here if they are not willing to respond if theres an issue?07:49
elkyjussi01, they opt in to sitting here and watchign the dialog -- not to havign something ping them07:49
elkyyou can help without being summonsed07:49
persiajussi01: Think inclusivity in all things.  It will ultimately pay better dividends.07:50
jussi01persia: Im including them in the ping :P :P (sorry)07:50
Garyright, that user doesn't bother a non staff cloaked user either07:50

jribjussi01: how do I actually renew my membirship to an op team?  the e-mail just says I should contact you or the council and I don't see an obvious way to renew it myself at https://edge.launchpad.net/~irc-ubuntu-ops11:58
Madpilotjrib, apparently that self-renew change is in-progress :)11:59

jpdsPS: archive.u.c is freaking out with OOo security update traffic.14:03
jpdsHit people on the head with books until they switch to a local mirror.14:04
* gnomefreak uses gb* and seems to work fine. someone in +1 had said it was extreamly slow. i didnt see any OOo updates today14:05
elkyaussie mirrors can be as much as 48hrs out of whack14:05
gnomefreakBluesKaj was the one that said it14:05
elkyeww, they'e lapsed badly14:06
elky1 week behind14:06
elkyproviding https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors is accurate, of course.14:07
* jpds hits elky on head with book.14:08
jpds;)14:08
jpdsGod damn it.14:08
elkyi'm pretty sure i already use internode mirrors, but i'm doubting given that page lists them as a week behind that they manage to trump the official mirror for much14:09

PiciThe us archive mirror is horribly slow too14:10

jpdselky: "This mirror was last verified on 2010-02-22."14:13
elky2 days out is still not going to serve a whole lot of benefit if people are scrambling to archive.u.c for updates that are there now14:15
* Pici switches to RIT's mirror14:15
gordif you want the latest updates but want to get from canonical's servers if canonical has newer ones (highly likely if your local server sucks) then generally the best idea is to just put your local mirrors repos in your sources.list first, then the canonical ones after. it'll prefer the local ones unless the canonical ones have newer packages14:16
elkywhich after several days, is likely anyway14:17
