[00:46] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from maxi12) [07:29] does anyone know if there is any difference between IE browsers in native windows and windows on a virtual box ? [07:29] is that really on topic for #ubuntu ? [07:29] seems more like a #vbox issue [13:42] 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] Pici: any protips? [13:42] Pici: specifically rscnt [13:43] h00k: how were you trying to search? [13:44] Pici: lemme check my logs, I closed that irssi window [13:44] h00k: I generally use the web interface to search for old bans, I'm not sure what the correct syntax for ubottu is. [13:45] Pici: I tried @bansearch nick #channel and it was matching the CURRENT ident of the user, which obviously was not banned, [13:45] so then I was trying to wildcard parts of the ident that made sense, but it was telling me syntax is wrong [13:45] Pici: web interface it is. [13:47] Pici: specifically rscnt [13:50] that guy [13:50] I removed the forward and changed it to a ban [13:50] he joined this channel, I asked if he wanted to resolve the ban, he said he was happy being banned [13:50] so I changed to to a ban rather than a forward and set a 3 month expire on it [13:50] okay [13:51] I think pici owned the ban [13:51] (the orignial one) [13:51] but that maybe why h00k can't find it [13:51] Oh, I can't search like that with the bansearch [13:52] could be, I found it with the web bantracker. [13:52] I was all, "Hey, I'll give this thing a shot..." [13:52] and that's what I get :( [13:54] :( [14:08] It'd be cool if it worked, though. [15:52] h00k: Were you looking for the currently set ban that matched an online user? Or were you searching for old stuff? [15:52] Or... could you just not find it in the bantracker.. [15:53] 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. [15:54] 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] h00k: A quick way to check if the user was banned? [15:55] Pricey: yes [15:55] h00k: Try something like this: https://github.com/bburhans/.irssi/blob/master/scripts/bansearch.pl [15:55] @help bansearch [15:55] (bansearch []) -- Search bans database for a ban on , if is not given search all channel bans. [15:55] ^also [15:56] Yeah, that's what I used, but it was matching their current ident which was not banned [15:57] er, current hostmask rather. [15:57] h00k: Oh so you did want to search for a historical ban that didn't match anymore... [15:57] Pricey: correct, their hostmask changed, hence why they were in the channel [15:58] Pricey: and someone reported they were banned, so I just wanted to resolve that current nick involving a ban [15:58] I'll check bansearch.pl out, looks useful [15:58] ♥ bansearch.pl [15:58] yep. [15:59] fwiw, I normally ignore "he's meant to be banned!!!" unless they're being a prat. [15:59] I usually do too, they were being 'okay' at that point, even though they were ban evading, but couldn't hurt to check [16:01] Pricey: so, the bansearch will search for active/current bans on a person's CURRENT hostmask [16:01] is what I've determined, I think. [16:01] h00k: yes [16:01] makes sense. [16:09] thanks, Pricey. [16:09] helpful. [17:02] felishia's story is ever changing [17:03] *sigh* [17:03] root@... and telling not using backtrack :/ [17:03] next iteration is KFreebsd debian [17:04] with backtrack and mint repos [17:05] on a hacked pc in a polive station. or something like that [17:05] *police [17:05] backtrack irc channel does not allow root irc; oh the irony [17:05] they know why [17:05] school library computer [17:06] he wants help breaking school policy on a non-supported distro [17:06] I seem to remember removing them from #u in the end over the school computer issue a week or so back [17:07] ubottu, random HURD KFreeBSD [17:07] HURD [17:07] bazhang: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:07] oy yeah! [17:08] Yep, BT id 56896 [17:19] 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? [17:21] i think its a live xubuntu now [19:00] get a gui working on server? [19:01] that seems strange [19:01] I don't see a problem with a gui on a server, [19:01] I suspect he'd just be better installing the desktop edition [19:01] he messed up his install very badly [19:01] oh good. [19:01] ubuntu-desktop, already the newest version [19:03] 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 [19:04] Hmmh, yes it is [19:04] oh dear, this is the support process failure [19:09] cannot configure the server without a gui [19:09] uh what [19:09] he's got a point, some applications require a gui [19:09] he just didn't work it well first time [19:09] he wants 5 years on a 3 year support? [19:10] I think he's confused how it works [19:10] that's all [19:10] very [19:12] i think 90% of the reason why a gui is on a server is jdownloader :/ [19:13] you see it quite common on Oracle machines as you need a good setup estate to do silent installs easy [19:13] so most people just use the gui [19:13] and outside reponse files/silent installs there is no other way [19:14] 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
