Day changed to 01 Sep 2014 12:14 < blu_jabr> s 12:22 < blu_jabr> testing logfile rollover 14:08 < tmetro> did we all lose op status? 14:10 < tmetro> I see Federico stopped by on Fri/Sat. He usually doesn't hang out here. I wonder why. 21:21 < blu_jabr> I found a bunch of cron errors from my bot script, due to my cron job not creating the directory for September. After I corrected the script, I examined the logs and discovered that the bot somehow lost the connection on aug 23 and never terminated and restarted. I had to kill it manually so it would restart properly. 21:23 < blu_jabr> looks like somebody from botbot.me connected to verify my request, but nobody was around to respond. No contact info was left, so I can only assume I'll have to make a whole new request, after getting back op status. 21:54 < tmetro> > somebody from botbot.me connected to verify 21:54 < tmetro> I saw that. 21:54 < tmetro> > but nobody was around 21:54 < tmetro> I didn't see it until after they left, and I didn't have OP privs at the time. I IMed you via IRC, but you didn't respond. 21:55 < blu_jabr> i still don't understand what cauised everyone to lose op status, or what we're supposed to do to correct it. 21:56 < tmetro> Looks like rajiv has it back. 21:57 < tmetro> ChanServ is supposed to upgraded the designated ops. For example, I see in the logs "mode (+v rajiv_) by ChanServ" 21:58 < blu_jabr> i se a "+" on rajiv, but i don't see a "@". i thought ops are supposed to be marked with a "@" 21:59 < blu_jabr> it also says 0 ops, o halfops, 1voices, 5 normal. 22:00 < blu_jabr> not sure what voices are, but since it shows 1 voice and one "+", i'm guessing this means rajiv has a "voice" but not an "op" status. 22:04 < tmetro> In Pidgin his name is marked with a dot that has lines radiating from it. I thought that means channel owner. When we had op, it showed a yellow star next to our names. Unfortunately the pidgin designers weren't thoughtful enough to include a key for their symbols, or even to show user privs when you right-click on a name and call up the info dialog. 22:07 < blu_jabr> you're using pidgin? i'm using lirc in a screen(1) session on the blu mail server 22:07 < blu_jabr> until we get a functional auto logger working, i need to keep this thing logged in so i can scrape the screen to manually create logs. 22:10 < tmetro> run /names to see the status of users. rajiv is listed with a + prefix. 22:15 < tmetro> > not sure what voices are 22:15 < tmetro> I think it means this: 22:15 < tmetro> https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1459#section-4.2.3 22:15 < tmetro> v - give/take the ability to speak on a moderated channel; 22:18 < tmetro> see also: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2811#section-4.1.3 22:19 <+rajiv> to make ops persistent, we have to tell chanserv 22:19 < tmetro> As far as I know, #blu is not moderated, so it seems like an irrelevant mode. 22:19 <+rajiv> eg /msg chanserv flags #blu 22:19 < tmetro> right, and you did that a week or two back. 22:19 <+rajiv> yes +v is irrelevant here. not sure why i have it 22:20 <+rajiv> tmetro: i think what i did was to give you and blu_jabr op. but not to set the flags on the channel. 22:21 < tmetro> oh, there might be a 2nd step? 22:21 < blu_jabr> we need someone with ops to request that botbot.me log this channel. 22:22 < blu_jabr> i submitted the request when you gave me op status, but then when i checked in again, i saw that nobody had op status. somehow the op status vanished. 22:23 <+rajiv> blu_jabr: when i /whois blu_jabr , no 'account' shows up. 22:24 < tmetro> http://little418.com/2012/01/adding-ops-to-your-new-freenode-cha nnel.html 22:26 <@tmetro> Would +oO be better, so it gets set automatically upon joining the room? 22:26 <@rajiv> i gave you all flags, so you can set that yourself now 22:26 <@rajiv> blu_jabr: once you register you should be all set too 22:27 <@tmetro> That's odd, I thought he was already registered. He must have been if you gave him ops before. 22:28 < blu_jabr> i'm sure i set up something with nickserver, years ago, but now i can't find the files. i see no irc settings under ~/.config, and i can't remember where lirc looks for its setup files. 22:28 < blu_jabr> can you tell me where to look? 22:28 <@rajiv> /msg nickserv help 22:29 < blu_jabr> some of those web pages talk about things not working during a netsplit. could that be affecting my nick registration? 22:29 <@rajiv> blu_jabr: you do have an account, you're just not logged in 22:29 <@rajiv> /msg nickserv identify 22:30 < blu_jabr> hm. i just did /msg nickserv help, and i get no response at all, just dead silence. same with a lot of other commands i've been trying tonight. 22:30 <@tmetro> chanserv seems to be responding very slowly. nicserv might be sluggish too. 22:31 <@tmetro> I set +oO on myself, so in theory my op status should be persistent and automatically set upon joining. 22:31 <@tmetro> rajiv: thanks for your help. 22:32 <+rajiv> np 22:33 <+blu_jabr> ok, i looked at my password keychain on my home machine and found my password. i did the nickserv thing, and i should be logged in now 22:33 <+rajiv> blu_jabr: yes you are 22:33 <+blu_jabr> i see a + next to blu_jabr, but no @ 22:34 <+rajiv> you have the bits to op yourself. /msg chanserv op #blu 22:34 <@blu_jabr> ok, that did it. thanks. 22:36 <@tmetro> run /msg chanserv flags #BLU blu_jabr +oO 22:36 <@tmetro> if you want op status to be set any time you join the room. 22:40 <@blu_jabr> i tried re-requesting logging from botbot.me, and it says "Sorry, this channel is already being monitored". 22:41 <@blu_jabr> but i can't find any sign that it's logging #blu 22:42 <+rajiv> btw, you should both run this: /msg NickServ SET ENFORCE ON 22:42 <@blu_jabr> ok. what does that do? 22:43 <+rajiv> https://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nickisgone Day changed to 02 Sep 2014 Day changed to 03 Sep 2014 Day changed to 04 Sep 2014 Day changed to 05 Sep 2014 Day changed to 06 Sep 2014 Day changed to 07 Sep 2014 Day changed to 08 Sep 2014 03:15 <@tmetro> I see the next Installfest has a Meetup event http://www.meetup.com/desktop-linux-users-group/events/197210832/?gj=wc1d.2_e&a= wc1d.2_gnl&rv=wc1d.2_e 03:15 <@tmetro> scheduled under the Desktop subgroup. 03:16 <@tmetro> Will has 429 members of his Desktop group. Night want to try a Meetup group for BLU. Seems to be a good way to pull in new members. We're trying it for Boston.pm.
