[16:57] <+EgoG3> how do  you start an IRCd
[16:58] < arioch> ./ircd
[16:58] <+EgoG3> i did that
[16:58] <+EgoG3> nothings working
[16:58] <+ender> lilo: hehe, here's the website of the guy who got arrested from Microsoft yesterday:  http://bavaria.da.ru
[16:58] < arioch> read the logs
[16:58] <+EgoG3> i cant connect to localhost
[16:58] <+EgoG3>  what logs
[16:58] < arioch> usually in ./logs
[16:59] <+EgoG3> uhm, and what will be in these so-called logs/
[16:59] < arioch> make sure you removed the kill statement in ircd.conf
[16:59] <+EgoG3> hmm
[16:59] < arioch> rtfm, mmkay?
[16:59] <+EgoG3> uhm, no
[16:59] < infot3ch> EgoG3: what ircd?
[16:59] <+EgoG3> ps aux | grep ircd
[16:59] <+EgoG3> bobbyhoy   318   3.0  0.0     1112    192 std  R+     0:00.01 grep ircd
[16:59] < grumpydog> wb EgoG3:
[16:59] <+EgoG3> and then i ./ircd
[16:59] < arioch> well gee maybe it's not RUNNING
[16:59] <+EgoG3> HOW DO I START IT!?
[16:59] ωνω Signoff jeremy: #freenode ("more new kernels")
[16:59] < arioch> ./ircd
[16:59] ωνω Signoff LoRez: #freenode ("Client Exiting")
[16:59] ωνω infot3ch_ [drwxr-xr-x@infot3ch.sponsor.freenode] has joined #freenode
[17:00] <+EgoG3> I DID THAT
[17:00] <+EgoG3> never mind
[17:00] <+EgoG3> geez

[17:15] <+EgoG3> is there ANYONE around who wont be rude and help me get my IRC server running?
[17:15] < arioch> EgoG3: ./ircd
[17:15] < dStruct> minnie-may: if you say so, seems odd you can be so sure, never seeing my drive, and it sitting right here in front of me running a low-level diag on it, but ok
[17:16] <+EgoG3> arioch: you asshole! I TOLD YOU THAT DIDNT WORK!
[17:16] < minnie-may> dStruct: you think your drive is somehow magically different to all the others on the market?
[17:16] < arioch> I also told you to check the logs
[17:16] < Paco-Paco> EgoG3: yeah I liked your abuse of #gaim because there was no one around to help you when you asked :-P
[17:16] ωνω kat_ [rayle@cpe-66-25-250-84.gt.rr.com] has joined #freenode
[17:16] < minnie-may> online smart diagnostics take about three seconds
[17:16] < Cyb> heh
[17:16] <+EgoG3> Paco-Paco: no abuse at all. What would you do if people were in there ignoring everything you said?
[17:16] ωνω kat_ [rayle@cpe-66-25-250-84.gt.rr.com] has left #freenode ()
[17:17] < arioch> ignoring you? why I can't imagine why anyone would
[17:17] < dStruct> minnie-may: lets just drop it, i don't see a need for you getting so defensive
[17:17] < Paco-Paco> EgoG3: I don't think anyone was around
[17:17] <+EgoG3> yeah yeah sure sure whatever
[17:17] < minnie-may> "defensive"? what are you on?
[17:17] < Cyb> are you in the directory you installed it in hehe
[17:17] < Paco-Paco> EgoG3: and furthermore ... #gaim is not #ircd, so if people weren't answering non-gaim questions I don't think that's any reason to get insulting
[17:17] < dStruct> minnie-may: well you seemed pissed about something, i dunno
[17:17] <+EgoG3> Paco-Paco: then FIND ME TO A ROOM THAT DOES THIS
[17:17] < minnie-may> observation 1: IRC does not carry emotional cues
[17:17] < Paco-Paco> oh, the ever popular "X isn't right, but Y isn't either" argument
[17:17] < minnie-may> observation 2: I typed no explicit cues
[17:18] < minnie-may> conclusion: any emotional cues were projected by the reader
[17:18] < dStruct> minnie-may: um, whatever...
[17:18] < arioch> lol
[17:18] < Cyb> conclusion: profit!
[17:19] < minnie-may> I would be interested in a mechanism for profiting from this. people do it a lot.
[17:19] < arioch> the 3rd step is invariably "..."
[17:19] < Cyb> heh
[17:20] < Cyb> step 1: think of something to do
[17:20] < Cyb> step 2: invent it
[17:20] < Cyb> step 3: ...
[17:20] < Cyb> step 4: profit!
[17:20] * ender ponders if documentation exists for this particular ircd that EgoG3 is trying to run.  Namly the "README" file...
[17:21] < Cyb>   PID TTY          TIME CMD
[17:21] < Cyb> 21430 ?        00:02:17 ircd
[17:21] < Cyb> <3
[17:21] < Paco-Paco> I might be able to help more if the question I've seen posed wasn't "why doesn't ircd run?"
[17:21] < arioch> arioch    6645  0.0  1.1 10628 2124 ?        S    Dec10   0:02 ./bin/ircd

[17:22] < Cyb> haha nano -w egog3-ircd.txt
[17:22] < arioch> my secret's out :(
[17:23] <+ender> *snicker*
[17:23] <+EgoG3> ender: I dont know unix too well
[17:24] <+EgoG3> and it seems that everyone around here wont give a second thought other than to be a selfish snob
[17:24] * ender bites his tougue.
[17:24] < Cyb> yes but readme files are usually in the universally readable language of ascii
[17:24] <+ender> EgoG3: most, if not all software, comes with documentation on how to use it.  Clear steps are layed out in plain ascii.
[17:24] <+EgoG3> Cyb:  uhm, the server has been up in the past.
[17:24] < grumpydog> plain text
[17:24] < grumpydog> sniifer r00t j00
[17:25] < Cyb> heh
[17:25] <+EgoG3> and apparently that carries over to this room as well
[17:25] < Paco-Paco> EgoG3: does it exit when you run it?
[17:26] < Paco-Paco> EgoG3: does it give any errors?
[17:26] < Cyb> <3
[17:26] < Paco-Paco> EgoG3: does it log anything?
[17:26] < Paco-Paco> we need more information than "it doesn't run"
[17:26] < arioch> we don't need that information
[17:26] < arioch> he does
[17:26] <+EgoG3> Paco-Paco: Can I NOT make that any clearer?
[17:27] < arioch> I for one could care less that he can't bring the ircd back up, and neither the reason why
[17:27] < Cyb> rofl
[17:27] <+EgoG3> arioch: go somewhere else and be rude somewhere else
[17:27] <+EgoG3> its unnecessary here
[17:27] < Cyb> SOMEONE HELP ME THIS PROGRAM DOESN'T RUN!
[17:27] <+ender> EgoG3: we are at a deadlock.  You are unable to provide us any more information, we are unable to provide you any help w/out any more information.
[17:27] < Cyb> TELL ME WHY!
[17:27] < Paco-Paco> EgoG3: I saw "I can't connect" as the statement of what was wrong
[17:28] < arioch> EgoG3: so it was necessary in #gaim?
[17:30] < Paco-Paco> and you still haven't told me if it exits when you run it, or if it prints any errors, or if it logs anything
[17:30] <+EgoG3> you people are a waste of my time
[17:30] ωνω EgoG3 [EgoG3@ego.usercloak.freenode] has left #freenode ()
[17:30] < Cyb> aw
[17:30] < Paco-Paco> oh yes, I'm a waste of his time
[17:30] < sangr> what's the default port VNC listens to?
[17:30] < Paco-Paco> for trying to help
