| teddy-dbear | Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys and everything else | 12:12 |
| InHisName | morning assorted motley crew | 15:06 |
| ChinnoDog | morning | 15:22 |
| MutantTu1key | wassappp | 15:30 |
| InHisName | Someone keeps trying several times a day to log into My HowdyDoody ID. Any way to send 'him' a message to give up on it already ? | 17:11 |
| ChinnoDog | How do you know that is happening? | 17:19 |
| MutantTu1key | it tells you | 17:19 |
| MutantTu1key | when you try and auth how many fialures there hav ebeen | 17:20 |
| JonathanD | InHisName: see if he's online when you are, and tell him yourself. | 17:20 |
| ChinnoDog | If I understand correctly it does not tell you who tried to auth just that there were failures | 17:26 |
| ChinnoDog | If he uses your nick you can notify yourself when he is online though | 17:27 |
| JonathanD | Yup | 17:27 |
| JonathanD | You could also setup enforce | 17:28 |
| JonathanD | he'll probably get the message pretty quick. | 17:28 |
| InHisName | what is 'enforce', is that an additional app to run ? | 17:33 |
| InHisName | So far 'he' has not been successful. 9 failed attempts since Sun. | 17:34 |
| JonathanD | InHisName: he's online right now. | 17:34 |
| JonathanD | InHisName: enforce is a nickserv setting that prevents people from using your nick | 17:35 |
| JonathanD | they'll be changed to a guestnick if they sit on yours without identifying to it. | 17:35 |
| JonathanD | InHisName: my guess is he's not trying to get in, but rather has a saved password and his client attempts to identify when he connects here. | 17:35 |
| InHisName | Is there a way to check if I already have the 'enforce' set on ? | 17:37 |
| JonathanD | you don't :) | 17:37 |
| InHisName | You can tell just from the info ? | 17:37 |
| JonathanD | he's using your alt, he wouldn't be able to if you had it set. | 17:38 |
| JonathanD | and he's been on it for longer than it would have taken for it to renick him. | 17:38 |
| JonathanD | /msg nickserv set enforce on | 17:38 |
| JonathanD | if you want to set it | 17:38 |
| JonathanD | be advised it'll also impact you, if you forget to identify. | 17:39 |
| InHisName | I'll give it a try | 17:39 |
| InHisName | I always identify so a couple of rooms stop fussing. | 17:39 |
| InHisName | It's on now. | 17:41 |
| InHisName | is there a /cmd JonathanD to do the same as double clicking on the name JonathanD ? (opens private ? chat room) | 17:42 |
| JonathanD | /query JonathanD | 17:43 |
| JonathanD | in most clients. | 17:43 |
| InHisName | It got me there, but nothing to do but type to him. Thought I could get info and stuff. | 17:44 |
| JonathanD | /whois | 17:45 |
| JonathanD | in that window | 17:45 |
| JonathanD | or you can ask nickserv for nickserv info | 17:45 |
| JonathanD | but it'll be your info, since he's not ID'd | 17:45 |
| JonathanD | What sort of information are you looking for? | 17:45 |
| InHisName | Nick: HowdyDoody * Username: ~Thunderbi@ip70-189-172-249.lv.lv.cox.net * Real name: HowdyDoody * Server: pratchett.freenode.net (Rennes, France) | 17:48 |
| InHisName | It worked. Shows him logged in | 17:48 |
| ChinnoDog | Maybe he can't imagine that anyone else would have that nick | 17:51 |
| JonathanD | If he's a casual user, the message telling him it's regged will be in status where he may well never look. | 17:57 |
| InHisName | Real Name is ---> fish ? | 18:00 |
| InHisName | Sounds a bit fishy to me. | 18:00 |
| InHisName | He's not having "Currently on" listing at all. Maybe barely getting started ? Seems to not have used the /join command yet. | 18:03 |
| JonathanD | fish is default in something. | 18:21 |
| JonathanD | Forget what. | 18:21 |
| JonathanD | Heh. | 18:22 |
| JonathanD | He's ircing from thunderbird. | 18:22 |
| JonathanD | That explains a lot | 18:23 |
| JonathanD | InHisName: if he's using thunderbird, by default it just connects you and joins no channels. | 18:24 |
| ChinnoDog | InHisName could be his first IRC friend | 18:24 |
| JonD | Oh, hi. | 18:31 |
| InHisName | So you went into TBird to show us your IP ? | 18:35 |
| InHisName | Does T Bird by default set one up in irc and then may never use it ? | 18:36 |
| pleia2 | not a fish | 18:36 |
| JonathanD | InHisName: I think it might ask during "Guided setup" | 18:36 |
| JonathanD | It defaults to freenode. | 18:37 |
| InHisName | So the 'enforced' will get TBird to deflect to some guest login ? Then all is well if so up next login. | 18:37 |
| JonathanD | yeah | 18:40 |
| JonathanD | you can force it now if you want. | 18:41 |
| JonathanD | he probably doesn't even realize he's on irc. | 18:41 |
| JonathanD | did you send him a message? | 18:41 |
| InHisName | No, no messages. Figured it can go natural with next login. | 19:43 |
| InHisName | Any one tried this method of installing ubuntu upgrades ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux | 20:07 |
| InHisName | Seems like it could get messy and maybe ? ruin an install ? | 20:08 |
