[09:25] <rmg51> Morning
[10:39] <JonathanD> MOrning.
[12:12] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys and everything else
[15:06] <InHisName> morning assorted motley crew
[15:22] <ChinnoDog> morning
[15:30] <MutantTu1key> wassappp
[17:11] <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 ?
[17:19] <ChinnoDog> How do you know that is happening?
[17:19] <MutantTu1key> it tells you
[17:20] <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.
[17:26] <ChinnoDog> If I understand correctly it does not tell you who tried to auth just that there were failures
[17:27] <ChinnoDog> If he uses your nick you can notify yourself when he is online though
[17:27] <JonathanD> Yup
[17:28] <JonathanD> You could also setup enforce
[17:28] <JonathanD> he'll probably get the message pretty quick.
[17:33] <InHisName> what is 'enforce', is that an additional app to run ?
[17:34] <InHisName> So far 'he' has not been successful.   9 failed attempts since Sun.
[17:34] <JonathanD> InHisName: he's online right now.
[17:35] <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.
[17:37] <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 ?
[17:38] <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
[17:39] <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.
[17:41] <InHisName> It's on now.
[17:42] <InHisName> is there a /cmd JonathanD  to do the same as double clicking on the name JonathanD ?  (opens private ? chat room)
[17:43] <JonathanD> /query JonathanD
[17:43] <JonathanD> in most clients.
[17:44] <InHisName> It got me there, but nothing to do but type to him.   Thought I could get info and stuff.
[17:45] <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?
[17:48] <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
[17:51] <ChinnoDog> Maybe he can't imagine that anyone else would have that nick
[17:57] <JonathanD> If he's a casual user, the message telling him it's regged will be in status where he may well never look.
[18:00] <InHisName> Real Name is  ---> fish ?
[18:00] <InHisName> Sounds a bit fishy to me.
[18:03] <InHisName> He's not having "Currently on" listing at all.   Maybe barely getting started ?   Seems to not have used the /join command yet.
[18:21] <JonathanD> fish is default in something.
[18:21] <JonathanD> Forget what.
[18:22] <JonathanD> Heh.
[18:22] <JonathanD> He's ircing from thunderbird.
[18:23] <JonathanD> That explains a lot
[18:24] <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
[18:31] <JonD> Oh, hi.
[18:35] <InHisName> So you went into TBird to show us your IP ?
[18:36] <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"
[18:37] <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.
[18:40] <JonathanD> yeah
[18:41] <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?
[19:43] <InHisName> No, no messages.  Figured it can go natural with next login.
[20:07] <InHisName> Any one tried this method of installing ubuntu upgrades ?   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux
[20:08] <InHisName> Seems like it could get messy and maybe ? ruin an install ?
