| bazhang | <HypnotiX> does anyone know if there is any difference between IE browsers in native windows and windows on a virtual box ? | 07:29 |
| bazhang | is that really on topic for #ubuntu ? | 07:29 |
| bazhang | seems more like a #vbox issue | 07:29 |
| h00k | hey Pici, there was a banforward you had set on here earlier, I was looking for that user and was not able to get the bansearch syntax correct. | 13:42 |
| h00k | Pici: any protips? | 13:42 |
| h00k | Pici: specifically rscnt | 13:42 |
| Pici | h00k: how were you trying to search? | 13:43 |
| h00k | Pici: lemme check my logs, I closed that irssi window | 13:44 |
| Pici | h00k: I generally use the web interface to search for old bans, I'm not sure what the correct syntax for ubottu is. | 13:44 |
| h00k | Pici: I tried @bansearch nick #channel and it was matching the CURRENT ident of the user, which obviously was not banned, | 13:45 |
| h00k | so then I was trying to wildcard parts of the ident that made sense, but it was telling me syntax is wrong | 13:45 |
| h00k | Pici: web interface it is. | 13:45 |
| h00k | Pici: specifically rscnt | 13:47 |
| ikonia | that guy | 13:50 |
| ikonia | I removed the forward and changed it to a ban | 13:50 |
| ikonia | he joined this channel, I asked if he wanted to resolve the ban, he said he was happy being banned | 13:50 |
| ikonia | so I changed to to a ban rather than a forward and set a 3 month expire on it | 13:50 |
| Pici | okay | 13:50 |
| ikonia | I think pici owned the ban | 13:51 |
| ikonia | (the orignial one) | 13:51 |
| ikonia | but that maybe why h00k can't find it | 13:51 |
| h00k | Oh, I can't search like that with the bansearch | 13:51 |
| h00k | could be, I found it with the web bantracker. | 13:52 |
| h00k | I was all, "Hey, I'll give this thing a shot..." | 13:52 |
| h00k | and that's what I get :( | 13:52 |
| Pici | :( | 13:54 |
| h00k | It'd be cool if it worked, though. | 14:08 |
| Pricey | h00k: Were you looking for the currently set ban that matched an online user? Or were you searching for old stuff? | 15:52 |
| Pricey | Or... could you just not find it in the bantracker.. | 15:52 |
| h00k | Pricey: nah, I was looking for an existing ban with it, not using the bantracker. It's definitely in the bantracker and I've found it. | 15:53 |
| h00k | I thought maybe it'd be a quick way to check, quicker than logging into bantracker, searching the web page, etc, than just switching active window, search user, channel, done | 15:54 |
| Pricey | h00k: A quick way to check if the user was banned? | 15:54 |
| h00k | Pricey: yes | 15:55 |
| Pricey | h00k: Try something like this: https://github.com/bburhans/.irssi/blob/master/scripts/bansearch.pl | 15:55 |
| tsimpson | @help bansearch | 15:55 |
| ubottu | (bansearch <nick|hostmask> [<channel>]) -- Search bans database for a ban on <nick|hostmask>, if <channel> is not given search all channel bans. | 15:55 |
| tsimpson | ^also | 15:55 |
| h00k | Yeah, that's what I used, but it was matching their current ident which was not banned | 15:56 |
| h00k | er, current hostmask rather. | 15:57 |
| Pricey | h00k: Oh so you did want to search for a historical ban that didn't match anymore... | 15:57 |
| h00k | Pricey: correct, their hostmask changed, hence why they were in the channel | 15:57 |
| h00k | Pricey: and someone reported they were banned, so I just wanted to resolve that current nick involving a ban | 15:58 |
| h00k | I'll check bansearch.pl out, looks useful | 15:58 |
| Pici | ♥ bansearch.pl | 15:58 |
| h00k | yep. | 15:58 |
| Pricey | fwiw, I normally ignore "he's meant to be banned!!!" unless they're being a prat. | 15:59 |
| h00k | I usually do too, they were being 'okay' at that point, even though they were ban evading, but couldn't hurt to check | 15:59 |
| h00k | Pricey: so, the bansearch will search for active/current bans on a person's CURRENT hostmask | 16:01 |
| h00k | is what I've determined, I think. | 16:01 |
| Pricey | h00k: yes | 16:01 |
| h00k | makes sense. | 16:01 |
| h00k | thanks, Pricey. | 16:09 |
| h00k | helpful. | 16:09 |
| bazhang | felishia's story is ever changing | 17:02 |
| k1l | *sigh* | 17:03 |
| k1l | root@... and telling not using backtrack :/ | 17:03 |
| bazhang | next iteration is KFreebsd debian | 17:03 |
| bazhang | with backtrack and mint repos | 17:04 |
| k1l | on a hacked pc in a polive station. or something like that | 17:05 |
| k1l | *police | 17:05 |
| bazhang | backtrack irc channel does not allow root irc; oh the irony | 17:05 |
| k1l | they know why | 17:05 |
| bazhang | school library computer | 17:05 |
| bazhang | he wants help breaking school policy on a non-supported distro | 17:06 |
| DJones | I seem to remember removing them from #u in the end over the school computer issue a week or so back | 17:06 |
| bazhang | ubottu, random HURD KFreeBSD | 17:07 |
| ubottu | HURD | 17:07 |
| ubottu | bazhang: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:07 |
| bazhang | oy yeah! | 17:07 |
| DJones | Yep, BT id 56896 | 17:08 |
| DJones | And now Felishia is booting xubuntu 13.04, but a few minutes ago was on LUcid and couldn't get into grub to boot anything else, but they still want help with the same grub problem? | 17:19 |
| k1l | i think its a live xubuntu now | 17:21 |
| bazhang | get a gui working on server? | 19:00 |
| bazhang | that seems strange | 19:01 |
| ikonia | I don't see a problem with a gui on a server, | 19:01 |
| ikonia | I suspect he'd just be better installing the desktop edition | 19:01 |
| bazhang | he messed up his install very badly | 19:01 |
| ikonia | oh good. | 19:01 |
| bazhang | ubuntu-desktop, already the newest version | 19:01 |
| DJones | Is this the one that installed a LTS server because they wanted something that would be supported for 5 years rather than the 2-3 years of desktop | 19:03 |
| DJones | Hmmh, yes it is | 19:04 |
| ikonia | oh dear, this is the support process failure | 19:04 |
| bazhang | cannot configure the server without a gui | 19:09 |
| bazhang | uh what | 19:09 |
| ikonia | he's got a point, some applications require a gui | 19:09 |
| ikonia | he just didn't work it well first time | 19:09 |
| bazhang | he wants 5 years on a 3 year support? | 19:09 |
| ikonia | I think he's confused how it works | 19:10 |
| ikonia | that's all | 19:10 |
| bazhang | very | 19:10 |
| k1l | i think 90% of the reason why a gui is on a server is jdownloader :/ | 19:12 |
| ikonia | you see it quite common on Oracle machines as you need a good setup estate to do silent installs easy | 19:13 |
| ikonia | so most people just use the gui | 19:13 |
| ikonia | and outside reponse files/silent installs there is no other way | 19:13 |
| ikonia | I'm going to have to back away now as I'm too close to just saying "shutup shutup shutup" to the well meaning people offering nonsense help and advice | 19:14 |
