[06:01] <Maik> why is that pic always posted? It's not the first time. Are people just spamming the channel?
[06:19] <guiverc> Maik, attempts to remedy the spam are being performed (looked into at least), but no idea why it's always the same bs.
 That's a bot, I think.
 musk didn't actually tweet that.
[06:44] <Maik> One of the reasons bridges got ditched in most of the other ubuntu channels afaik
[06:44] <guiverc> that may happen here if no solution is found, or until solution is found  (I just saw it posted in #kubuntu)
[06:46]  * guiverc okay it wasn't just posted there, more I just noticed it..
[06:51] <Maik> pragmaticenigma said last week or so that they got rid of the bridges, bots and even ban them due the issues if they find them. So I guess he meant all over freenode. Best to inform him about it if we want to get rid of spam posts and unofficial  bots
[06:56] <guiverc> I was likely referring to details related to that..

 Hello all.I'm fairly new to Lubuntu and Linux generally. I've had 18.04.5 installed on an old Toshiba. Suddenly a message came up ' no internet' (I was reading a blog at the time) Any ideas what to do? … Thanks in advance
[12:59] <akemhp> T34P4RTY check your internet connection then, if it's wired check the cable and router, otherwise look at your Wifi status...
[13:00] <akemhp> It may also be false positive sometimes, just the site used to check if internet is available is not reponding or lagging, things like that.
 Internet is good on other devices and ISP has run a test (all good) Also tried to connect to a number of sites without success
 Is there a system check i can do?
[13:19] <akemhp> T34P4RTY What connection is it, wired or WIFI?
 Wifi
[13:26] <akemhp> T34P4RTY First be sure you are connected to your WIFI hotspot in the right bottom corner WIFI icon. If yes, then maybe it is just a DNS problem. So to test that, open a terminal with ctrl+alt+t, and type: "sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf", now on the line "nameserver ..." change it to "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" (add the line if necessary). Then do ctrl+o then ctrl+x; and then open firefox or chromium and try to load wikipedia.org or youtube for example to see if it
[13:26] <akemhp> works.
[13:27] <akemhp> You'll have to enter your root password before you can edit the file with nano, it will ask it.
[13:27] <akemhp> If that solves the issue it will possible to make it permenant i guess in the WIFI config. Just try it, and tell us.
[13:28] <akemhp> You need to press return after doing ctrl+o.
[13:29] <akemhp> Before doing ctrl+x.

[13:41] <akemhp> It may ask you the WIFI key to connect. Then the icon should change.
[13:42] <akemhp> T34P4RTY, what happens when you click it?
 It asks to edit WiFi connection, I clicked 'add' SSID is blank and 'save' is greyed out
[13:46] <akemhp> Try to right click maybe, disconnect...normally the icon doesn't look like that afaik, and it should display you available WIFI networks.
 Right click gives a panel strings pane- add/ remove panel items
 On the far right icon with ! when I hover it says connection has limited or no connectivity
[13:50] <akemhp> lubot, Well there is something weird going on, you tried to reboot right?
[13:50] <akemhp> not lubot i mean T34P4RTY.
 Yes twice
[13:51] <akemhp> Ok, wait a second.
[13:52] <akemhp> I'm booting my lubuntu to see, cause i have regular ubuntu on this machine, so its not the same.
 On network connection shall I uninstall WiFi (using - as opposed to +) and then reinstall?
 Ok

 I ran Mac changer a week ago. Would that have affected anything?
[14:19] <akemhp_> T34P4RTY Yes maybe. Something has messed up your WIFI connectivity, not sure how to fix that...
[14:20] <akemhp_> If you don't wanna waste time, do a reinstall, its fast and your settings will be back to normal...Try to avoid mac changers or weird things if you're not sure what you are doing.

[16:44] <aller1a> Hi guys
 Hello
 Is there a tutorial or link to rearrange the bar at bottom if screen? I want to configure power/ WiFi/menu/ Bluetooth/ etc. Had a go but not sure how it all works and don't want to mess it up
[19:26] <susan> I am a Linux noob attempting to install Lubuntu 20.04 on an old Samsung NP-RV511 laptop and install failed with Boost.Python error in job "bootloader"
[19:26] <susan> Can someone help?
[19:34] <wxl> susan: did you let the image run the self check at boot or did you skip it?
[19:37] <susan> I didn't get a message to run self check. I booted via USB stick
[19:37] <susan> I changed boot order in BIOS so pc would boot from USB
[19:38] <kc2bez> susan: Where did you download the image from and which version of Lubuntu?
[19:41] <susan> I downloaded version Lubuntu 20.04 from Ubuntu website (the bitorrent file)
[19:42] <wxl> if it's torrent, it's fairly safe to assume the integrity of the image is good, though not necessarily the installation media
[19:42] <wxl> so the self check really should be run
[19:42] <wxl> if you didn't see it run, chances are it did, but you should double check by booting and ensuring it does
[19:44] <susan> It booted successfully, and I can see linux desktop, but when I go through the installation process from there it fails.
[19:44] <kc2bez> It is also important that your drive is not NTFS. I think Rufus does this by default.
[19:45] <susan> I used Rufus
[19:46] <wxl> ah ha! so there's the problem :)
[19:46] <susan> ?
[19:46] <kc2bez> You could try Etcher.
[19:46] <kc2bez> Or make sure the drive is FAT32
[19:47] <kc2bez> NTFS will produce install errors.
[19:47] <susan> I used the official linux manual and it recommended Rufus
[19:49] <wxl> rufus itself isn't the problem, but the fact it makes ntfs by default. you can probably modify that behavior, or simply partition the drive as fat32 before using rufus.
[19:49] <kc2bez> There is a dropdown option to change the file system in rufus and it just needs to be changed to FAT32
[19:53] <kc2bez> I outlined it in this picture. https://imgur.com/a/wGKybJx
[19:53] <kc2bez> If you select FAT32 there it should work better.
[19:59] <susan> I'm pretty sure I selected FAT32 in Rufus. Suppose it wouldn't do any harm to check again though
[20:01] <susan> https://i.imgur.com/spDiLPE.jpg
[20:02] <wxl> you have a 600gb usb?
[20:03] <susan> No, 6GB
[20:03] <susan> But the hard drive in my laptop is over 500 gb
[20:04] <susan> The partitioning is confusing me a little
[20:05] <wxl> so right, that fat32 you see is a partition on your hard drive
[20:06] <wxl> see at the top it says Storage device: SAMSUNG HM641JI - 596.2 GiB (/dev/sda)
[20:06] <wxl> that's what all of the below refers to
[20:06] <susan> That's the hard drive in my laptop
[20:06] <wxl> parittions on /dev/sda are going to be enumerated, /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, etc.
[20:07] <susan> Okay, so what should I do?
[20:07] <wxl> right so if you're trying to check to see if you have a fat32 usb, that's not where to look
[20:07] <susan> Ah, so I need to check the USB itself
[20:08] <wxl> but that is not going to show up in the installer
[20:08] <wxl> since the installer is only going to show locations you can install to
[20:11] <susan> https://i.imgur.com/3DwxK0z.jpg
[20:11] <wxl> this is after you remade the usb with fat32?
[20:11] <susan> That's the original error message
[20:12] <susan> I haven't remade the usb with fat32
[20:12] <susan> The error message came up on the Lubuntu installer
[20:14] <susan> According to the error message, there doesn't seem to be a partition for the BIOS
[20:15] <wxl> did you do manual partitioning?
[20:17] <susan> On my first attempt I selected the Erase Disk option as per manual instructions, because I originally had Windows 7 installed on this old laptop, which I no longer have any use for
[20:20] <wxl> right, so the problem is not likely to be because of partitioning errors on your part. it's more likely to be rufus and its ntfs default which is a known problem.
[20:20] <wxl> so: remake the usb with fat32, start over and you shoulud be good
 You have a GPT formatted disk and are installing in BIOS mode. You need a small 1 MB partition without filesystem and the bios_grub flag
 The error has absolutely nothing to do with Rufus
[20:23] <susan> @Lubot - correct, the error came up in the installer, not Rufus
[20:31] <susan> https://i.imgur.com/qbk4Ail.jpg
[20:33] <susan> I still seem to be a bit stuck - I created a new partition manually and added the bios_grub flag but can't get any further - notice the 'Next' button is greyed out in above screenshot
[20:34] <susan> I still seem to be missing something
[20:37] <susan> How do I create the partition without a file system?
[20:45] <susan> lubot?
[22:09] <aller1a> hi susan
[22:10] <Guest_39> Hello! I have a very weird problem. I am trying to install a linux OS on a toshiba satellite A660. I successfully installed lubuntu 18.04 but I have a problem when i start to put some updates. When i log in the screen freez after few seconds. I checked for a kernel problem but it doesn't come from this. I tried to run ubuntu 20.04 from a usb live
[22:10] <Guest_39> key that work on an other computer but it crash for this satellite A660. Do you know any similar problem? 3 days i am on it
[22:28] <guiverc> Guest_39, Did the media check (squashfs validation) complete successfully?
[22:33] <aller1a> how old is the motherboard
[22:33] <Guest_39> it is very old 8 years
[22:34] <Guest_39> the media check works
[22:35] <aller1a> i have been having odd issues with an older board as well recognizes the drive install starts but halfway through it bombs.  I have a 128gb flash drive on the way however the bios wont see it so i am going to boot with plop when it arrives all i want it for is a router so i should be able to side step any hardware issues you may want to consider something similar
[22:38] <Guest_39> For info i successfully installed lubuntu 18.04 and log in but the problem start when i install the first row of updates
[22:40] <guiverc> Guest_39, what ISO did you use to install 18.04?  I'm asking if you're using the GA (4.15) kernel, or a HWE kernel?
[22:40] <aller1a> i understand but plop replaces the bios so it could fix a number of issues.  Also the plop bios is newer then anything you could get for that board
[22:40] <guiverc> (I have issues with the latest 5.4 HWE kernel on old thinkpads from 2003; but they are fine with older kernels so using GA kernel is the easy fix)
[22:40] <aller1a> also a 10 min fix
[22:43] <Guest_39> kernel 4.15
[22:46] <guiverc> 4.15 is the GA (general) kernel, most stable but will have older modules (aka drivers)..  18.04.2 & higher media use the HWE (newer & upgrading) hardware enablement stack; on a box that old I'd not expect HWE to add anything new, but you could try booting a 18.04.5 ISO if you've the bandwidth to allow download
[22:46] <Guest_39> Am I wrong or did you change the default lubuntu download this last 7 days?
[22:47] <guiverc> Is your box reliable, I'd likely do RAMTESTs, quick cap-scan & maybe check PSU is providing sufficient & reliable power to rule out hardware issues..  screen freeze is vague & provides no real clues; does SysRq keys allow you to reboot (ie. kernel is still running even if GUI is frozen)
[22:49] <Guest_39> Whan you say box you talk a bout my toaster (computer) or my internet provider box?
[22:49] <guiverc> (sysrq refers to keyboard commands that bypass shell/gui and go straight to linux kernel, search online if unaware; Alt+Sysrq and continue holding Alt down and type command, eg REISUB is very common; wikipedia page is pretty good & easily found)\
[22:50] <guiverc> yeah I use box to me hardware (laptop, desktop, server or box of any type)
[22:50] <Guest_39> k
[22:51] <Guest_39> i will need a bit of time to understand what you need but i come back
[22:51] <guiverc> the benefit of sysrq in daignosis is if it works, the box is still running correctly, it's just the GUI or user interface that is locked up.. all is good underneath as it responded to SysRq commands
[22:59] <guiverc> Guest_39, no changes execpt for daily images have been changed in last 7 days.. I missed that question from you, but there are multiple ISO choices available for download.  The alternate ISO hasn't been updated since april-2018 (18.04), but since then we've released 18.04.1, 18.04.2, 18.04.3, 18.04.4, 18.04.5 and any can be downloaded and used for install...
[23:01] <Guest_39> the sysrq works after a recovery start but don't after a standard start
[23:02] <Guest_39> it is litterally freeze and the fans are quickly increasing them speed until the motherborad shut down because of over heat
[23:03] <guiverc> sounds like you've an overheating issue.. if box gets hot enough hardware will shut it down to prevent warranty claim (OS isn't part of decision & isn't even aware of shutdown)
[23:04] <guiverc> some boxes allow you to set fans to higher level, it may also be you've a dead (or dying) fan that isn't working correctly but that can be a pain to diagnose & correct (each brand/model is different usually)
[23:06] <guiverc> to test the box I'd likely try a very different OS (another GNU/Linux is fine, but not Ubuntu based) and see if you have issues there.. if the other OS is perfect, it's an issue with Ubuntu. or 4.15 kernel etc.  You could try a later image (HWE kernel), but that's just guess (and I'd not expect different results). Sorry I can't think of anything further
[23:08] <Guest_39> i know i already pushed the toaster to the limit when it was new 8 years ago (on windows 7). I already changed the thermal paste (1years ago) of this computer and i am quite sure thet isn't a fan pb cause there was no problem to let the machine run with a fresh install of the lubuntu version i had before update. I tried also to install from minimal
[23:08] <Guest_39> CD but i had the same problem of freezing on log in
[23:11] <guiverc> the alternate ISO is for very low RAM boxes; 768MB or less and is the oldest 4.15 kernel & no updates on install. If you're having issues with a specific updated kernel, you can select prior/older installed kernels at boot time from grub (which will confirm you have issues with a specific kernel, but not rest of installed system).
[23:12] <Guest_39> I already do the manip
[23:13] <Guest_39> but after uninstalling the latest kernel, i remember a .117 (but i don't remember previous number) the pb is stil there
[23:14] <Guest_39> so i conclude the kernel wasn't the pb
[23:16] <guiverc> You don't need to uninstall; you select which kernel at grub (grub always shows for some installs, on others you press a key to make it appear).  My box would offer me 5.8.0-18 & 5.8.0-16 for my groovy install (my box is a 2009 dell) but if recently installed you may have more significant variation of choices  (inc. the kernel used during installation, unless you cleaned your system to reclaim disk space)
[23:19] <Guest_39> I proceed like this because i wanted to be able to let the computer start without smashing my echap key
[23:20] <Guest_39> so now i run on the first kernel installed but it still freeze on log in if i don't run recovery mode
[23:21] <TechPup> hello
[23:21] <Guest_39> hi
[23:21] <guiverc> Once you have worked out a solution (eg. if I decided my box liked a specific kernel, I'd `apt-mark` hold it so it wasn't cleaned/removed, and make it the default to boot.. (without uninstall)
[23:21] <TechPup> hi
[23:23] <Guest_39> to be honest i have some basics on programming but i am new into linux so i try to read all FAQ i can on my problem and try the one that looks like better
[23:24] <TechPup> hey
[23:25] <guiverc> if you box is still freezing, I'm unsure.. you've highlighted heat at least to me.  I'm not convinced its not hardware as I said earlier, but I'm ount of ideas sorry
[23:25] <guiverc> TechPup, if you have a Lubuntu Support question, please ask it. Chat belongs in #lubuntu-offtopic, and be patient as people will response when they're able
[23:26] <TechPup> sorry
[23:26] <guiverc> s/response/respond ^
[23:26] <Guest_39> the brutal way to solve my is to instal update 1 by 1 and restart between each until i find the one that make me freeze on log in but there are huge amount of updates + possible problem of dependancies. So do i go the hard way?
[23:27] <Guest_39> solve my "problem"...
[23:29] <guiverc> I've already suggested a HWE kernel install, 18.04.2 media was produced more than 6 months later than initial media; 18.04.3 produced 6 months later.. 18.04.4 etc.. they provide a means to get snapshots at specific points in time (sort of in *live* media)
[23:29] <Guest_39> ok i try this
[23:30] <guiverc> I would try using them in *live* mode, esp. if you've not got bandwidth quotes on download; http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/18.04/release/ where you can see the dates of each too
[23:31] <Guest_39> http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/   Is that the good repository?
[23:31] <guiverc> it may not be the best idea; but it's about all I've got Guest_39   (s/quotes/quotas ^)
[23:31] <guiverc> it's a ubuntu.com site; so it's owned by Canonical (company behind Ubuntu) - I'd trust it
[23:33]  * guiverc adds Canonical infrastructure is what builds all Lubuntu ISOs
[23:35]  * guiverc and not just us, all Ubuntu flavors; https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours
[23:36] <Guest_39> I already read about that but it is fine to remind it
[23:38] <guiverc> pros & cons; it one flavor is hit by something usually all are, if a fix works on one flavor though it'll work on all usually too
[23:39] <Guest_39> Just for info the download of ubuntu have a better speed than lubuntu
[23:41] <guiverc> given they come from the same place.. maybe just luck with ubuntu & unlucky with lubuntu... I find download times vary regularly (grabbing daily images for QA testing) & all flavors & main Ubuntu are ~equal on average
[23:42] <guiverc> I generally use zsync  (which cuts out bandwidth significantly over say a wget download).. Is often faster too
[23:46] <aller1a> back
[23:56] <Guest_39> If i don't want to be a guest but a recognizable member what do i need to do? (sry for the my spanish cow english but i am french)


[21:22] <cj> seattlegaucho: looking forward to seeing you tonight, man!  It's been too long!
[21:27] <seattlegaucho> cj, you're going to be there ... awesome!
[21:28] <seattlegaucho> pizzas and beers and on me ;)


[06:24] <bbs> hmm
[06:25]  * bbs merges btrfs into jaunty testing locally
[09:00] <fabbione> anybody from the kernel team awake?
[09:06] <smb_tp> fabbione, Would not call it awake but there
[09:06] <fabbione> smb_tp: wtf is going on with your hardy kernel releases?
[09:06] <smb_tp> fabbione, Can you be more specific?
[09:07] <fabbione> yesterday there was an update from hardy-updates that had all the changes that were missing and I reported
[09:07] <fabbione> today there is an update from -security that kills them all
[09:08] <fabbione> smb_tp: remember when I come here to say that there were missing commits from 2.6.24 ?
[09:08] <smb_tp> fabbione, That is because I have to base -security on -updates. I will re-upload a new proposed today
[09:08] <fabbione> smb_tp: an update yesterday mentioend them in the changelog
[09:08] <fabbione> bah. this kind of release management stinks
[09:08] <fabbione> it's far from being serious
[09:08] <fabbione> specially on an LTS
[09:08] <fabbione> there have been weeks to get this right
[09:09] <fabbione> and you are still missing fixes from kernel stable branches
[09:09] <smb_tp> You alsway had this compared to a -propsed kernel
[09:09] <fabbione> i don't use -proposed
[09:09] <fabbione> it was pushed either by mistake or something
[09:10] <fabbione> fact is that either there is a bug in LP or somebody did push the wrong buttons, stuff like that _should not_ happen
[09:10] <smb_tp> thosse fixes you mention should not have been in -updates.
[09:10] <fabbione> well in one way or another they got there
[09:10] <fabbione> root@vultus5:~# grep proposed /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:10] <fabbione> root@vultus5:~#
[09:11] <fabbione> and i am sure of what i saw because i was happy that i didn't have to rebuild my kernels one more time
[09:11] <smb_tp> That is bad. Good for you but wrong in the process
[09:11] <smb_tp> I have to check that
[09:11] <fabbione> well i strongly recommend you check what happened and why
[09:12] <fabbione> and also find a way to fix missing fixes a bit faster
[09:12] <fabbione> it's been over a month now that I reported those
[09:12] <fabbione> and not all of them affect just second class citizens
[09:12] <smb_tp> Well, sure
[09:13] <fabbione> anyway.. enough rant.. need to finish rebooting machines
[09:13] <fabbione> later
[09:14] <smb_tp> thanks anyway. later
[10:58] <johan> Hi, the ubuntu kernel is currently not including the utrace patches, what needs to happen for them to be included?
[12:00] <apw> smb_tp_, i see there are yet more stable updates being sucked up
[12:47] <smb_tp_> apw, Yeah, there were more this morning, for Jaunty as well
[12:54] <apw> yeah mad levels of updates these days
[12:55] <smb_tp_> a big chunk was the wrappers stuff of our former colleagues. but still quite some more serious stuff as well
[14:21] <scelestic> hi
[14:22] <scelestic> i'm trying to figure out what the cleanest way would be to get a openvz kernel in 8.10, seems there's no patches for the shipped kernel and the stable kernels on openvz.org seems to be a bit dated
[14:34] <smb_tp_> scelestic, I guess the cleanest way would be to build a patchset of openvz tree against the v2.6.27 base and then try to merge those on top of a 8.10 tree.
[14:43] <scelestic> smb_tp_: alright, will give that a try then
[15:47] <tjaalton> apw: does linux-libc-dev from linux-lpia ship the drm headers?
[15:48] <apw> tjaalton, i am just rebasing it to jaunty head as we speak
[15:49] <tjaalton> apw: excellent, so are you bumping the ABI version as well?
[15:49] <apw> so i would guess the answer is no right now and yes soon.  _if_ it has its own
[15:49] <apw> there will be an abi bump yes
[15:49] <tjaalton> to be in line with the rest?
[15:49] <apw> i am planning on just incrementing it
[15:50] <apw> would them being in line be helpful?
[15:50] <tjaalton> yes, otherwise it's confusing
[15:50] <apw> hmmm hadnt considered that
[15:50] <tjaalton> because libdrm-dev currently depends on linux-libc-dev (>= 2.6.28-5.15)
[15:51] <tjaalton> so I'd like to avoid having different deps for different archs
[15:51] <apw> i wonder if the linux-libc-dev is the same or an lpia version
[15:51] <apw> hmmmm
[15:52] <tjaalton> maybe, but in libdrm's case the only thing that matters is if it has the headers or not :)
[15:54] <apw> tjaalton, i am not entirly sure i can guarentee that they stay in step
[15:55] <apw> as there are bound to be different releases in each
[15:55] <apw> if there are ever more in lpia they will necessarily get out of sync
[15:55] <apw> and i don't think its recoverable at that point
[15:56] <tjaalton> let's worry about it then ;)
[15:56] <tjaalton> when that happens
[15:56] <tjaalton> or, I'll just bump the deps independently
[15:56] <tjaalton> not that hard
[22:53] <lesshaste> hi
[22:53] <lesshaste> is this the right place to ask about trying to report kernel panics?  Specifically I was looking for help with crashkernel
[23:02] <bbs> well whats the problem 1
[23:02] <bbs> and two please write a bug report
[23:02] <bbs> no matter where you are if you find a panic crash segfault whatever -- write the report :)
[23:03] <bbs> makes it documented for later perusal and hopefully repair
[23:04] <lesshaste> bbs, I am afraid it's all very unsatisfactory... For the last few ubuntu kernels including the current  2.6.27-11-generic my system simply freezes with caps lock blinking periodically
[23:04] <lesshaste> takes anything from a few hours of use to a few days
[23:04] <lesshaste> so it's not clear to report unless I can set up some sort of crash reporting I was thinking
[23:05] <lesshaste> I am trying to get kexec working as I thought might provide a way to get something useful to report
[23:05] <lesshaste> any help much appreciated as I don't really see any docs on this online
[23:06] <bbs> lesshaste: caps lock or everything blinking
[23:06] <bbs> that would be an OOPS
[23:06] <lesshaste> bbs, just caps lock
[23:06] <bbs> well blinking is an OOPS
[23:06] <lesshaste> everything else completely frozen
[23:06] <bbs> any logs?
[23:06] <lesshaste> ok
[23:06] <bbs> yes OOPS
[23:06] <lesshaste> not that I can see.. where should I look in case I missed anything
[23:08] <lesshaste> /var/log/messages seems to have nothing interesting
[23:10] <bbs> lesshaste: i'm concerned that maybe it cant be logged
[23:10] <bbs> but let me check something
[23:10] <lesshaste> ok thanks
[23:17] <bbs> hmm
[23:18] <bbs> lesshaste: what do your dmesg logs say
[23:18] <bbs> anything weird
[23:18] <lesshaste> bbs, is that the same as /var/log/messages?
[23:18] <bbs> what are you normally ding at the time
[23:18] <bbs> no its not
[23:18] <bbs> are you familiar with dmesg?
[23:18] <lesshaste> bbs, where is dmesg logged? Other than the current record you get just by typing dmesg
[23:19] <lesshaste> or do you just mean the current one?
[23:19] <bbs> /var/log/dmesg
[23:19] <bbs> .0
[23:19] <bbs> .1.gz
[23:19] <bbs> etc
[23:19] <lesshaste> of course.. sorry
[23:19] <bbs> np
[23:19] <bbs> check for OOPS or syscall or something weird
[23:19] <lesshaste> looks harmless to me.. would you like to see some?
[23:19] <bbs> well it would be at the bottom
[23:20] <bbs> zcat the ones with .gz and | less
[23:20] <lesshaste> zcat /var/log/dmesg*gz|grep -i oops  ?
[23:20] <bbs> no
[23:21] <lesshaste> they all end harmlessly
[23:21] <lesshaste> with
[23:21] <lesshaste> [   36.498604] type=1505 audit(1233257658.981:3): operation="profile_load" name="/usr/sbin/cupsd" name2="default" pid=3920
[23:21] <lesshaste> [   36.701944] ip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team
[23:22] <bbs> yes this is standard
[23:22] <bbs> weirdness
[23:22] <bbs> what are you normally doing when it hapens
[23:23] <lesshaste> just using X
[23:23] <lesshaste> I suppose I always have a web browser open
[23:23] <lesshaste> and I am using wireless
[23:24] <lesshaste> it's probably going to turn out to be the madwifi driver in the end
[23:24] <lesshaste> but it would be nice to actually be able to report something useful!
[23:24] <lesshaste> you don't think adding crashkernel to the bootprompt
[23:24] <lesshaste> and using kexec will work?
[23:27] <lesshaste> hi foka
[23:28] <lesshaste> bbs, sorry I have to go in a moment.. what do you think?
[23:28] <lesshaste> bbs, I would love to fix this


[07:53] <tonyyarusso> Flannel: If this keeps up after the other guy comes back from lunch, I'm considering making an ##easyOnMe and just banforwarding him there and asking any helpers to join that...
[07:54] <tonyyarusso> Goes against our usual "keep it in the channel so others can benefit too", but I don't think anybody's benefitting from this.
 this is public forum there is no formal ubuntu support here
[08:19] <bazhang> I've wasted soooo many years!!11
[22:03] <beepie> "bagsbager> faggot"
[22:03] <beepie> and muted me
[22:03] <beepie> on #ubuntu
[22:03] <beepie> he pm'ed me to "shut up" for no obvious reason
[22:03] <beepie> not sure why
[22:03] <beepie> he pm'ed me "faggot" to me.
[22:03] <beepie> for no reason either.
[22:03] <beepie> what's going on here?
[22:04] <beepie> there is no such thing as a "virtual partition"
[22:04] <beepie> he gets his facts wrong
[22:04] <beepie> and mutes me for being correct.
[22:04] <beepie> i call on removing op privilege for bagsbager
[22:04] <k1l> you have been muted because you were spamming the channel
[22:04] <beepie> "bagsbager> Faggot
[22:04] <beepie>
[22:04] <beepie> * Loaded log from Sun Jul 12 18:02:04 2015
[22:04] <beepie>
[22:04] <beepie> <bagsbager> Coon"
[22:04] <k1l> that muting was done by the channelbot.
[22:05] <hggdh> beepie: and, frankly, with a behaviour that is borderline not nice there
[22:05] <hggdh> ah. too late
[22:06] <beepie> i've been called a "faggot" and a "coon" in pm by bagsbager
[22:06] <beepie> these logs all go public on the net
[22:06] <beepie> and #ubuntu should take prudence in who they entrust as mature ops
[22:06] <k1l> beepie: please calm down
[22:07] <k1l> you were muted by the channelbot because you were spaming the channel with obvious nonsense
[22:07] <k1l> the user you were reporting is not an op.
[22:08] <beepie> k1l, "beep" was my response to him, for him throwing into pm "faggot"
[22:08] <beepie> k1l, i'm ignoreing him
[22:09] <beepie> k1l, i wasn't spamming
[22:09] <hggdh> beepie: you *did* spam. Your response was public. If you do not want to hear from the other user, /ignore s/he
[22:10] <beepie> i said I already did.
[22:10] <k1l> beepie: you obviously did, because the bot muted you to prevent the channel from more of that. so please turn down the drama.
[22:10] <beepie> k1l, no drama
[22:10] <beepie> k1l, you just turned it into.
[22:10] <beepie> take care
[22:11] <k1l> looking for that dyn ip ranges  i see a lot of trolls in the bantracker
[22:13] <hggdh> I wonder
[22:54] <bazhang> he's been hitting multiple channels
[22:56] <bazhang> !free speech
[22:56] <bazhang> that should link to xkcd.com/1357
[22:56] <bazhang> or have one that links to that
[23:37] <tonyyarusso> bazhang: I'd be pretty okay with that :)
[23:37] <tonyyarusso> The blog is semi-defunct at the moment anyway
[23:37] <bazhang> heh
[23:38] <bazhang> I have that particular link down by heart now
[23:39] <tonyyarusso> Seriously, we probably should remove my link from that factoid until I decide I care to restore that site.
