[10:01] <LtWorf> why require authentication to join this channel?
[10:01] <LtWorf> "authentication", the nickserver thing
[10:44] <alkisg> LtWorf: because of spam bots
[10:52] <LtWorf> i see
[10:55] <apw> they tend to flip that status back and forth depending how much spam there is
[13:28] <melodie> hi
[13:31] <melodie> one of our LUG's users meet with an issue with the system freeze while using it, with LO, with FF. She is a newbie however she managed to send a pic and a dmesg after a reboot with sysrq. kernel version : https://framapic.org/RTFfSMQExMex/nZ06GcR3LSZo.png and dmesg : https://paste.ubuntu.com/26494950/ - question : is there another kernel she could install to solve this issue? If yes which one?  
[13:36] <LtWorf> i don't think a screenshot and a dmesg after a reboot are particularly useful
[13:38] <alkisg> melodie: I found 4.13 kernel highly problematic, and we switched a lot of schools here to 4.4, which appears a lot more stable
[13:39] <alkisg> apt install linux-generic => installs kernel 4.4, but she would need to manually select it from grub's advanced options, and see if it's more stable, and remove 4.13 if it is
[13:41] <melodie> alkisg I transmit on our ml, thanks
[13:41] <alkisg> np
