| 14:33.28 | Guest74790 | I'm stuffed. I'm gr0undhog and can't get identified by nickserv! What's new ... |
| 14:34.30 | Leeds | what happens when you identify? |
| 14:35.54 | Guest74790 | Hi leeds - I ask /msg nickserv identify and set my password - then nowt! |
| 14:36.16 | Leeds | are you *100%* sure the result isn't appearing in another window/tab? |
| 14:37.23 | Guest74790 | Leeds: No, I've just looked and it's the same tab. I'm running Debian 7.2 and xchat gnome |
| 14:37.43 | Leeds | what's the same tab? |
| 14:38.01 | Guest74790 | Leeds: This one |
| 14:38.08 | Leeds | um... |
| 14:38.21 | Leeds | I'm saying that maybe nickserv is replying to you, but the reply is coming through on another tab |
| 14:39.26 | Guest74790 | Leeds: Yeah. I think I'll de-and re-install and re-sign in. Good idea or bad ... ? |
| 14:39.47 | Leeds | really really no need to deinstall |
| 14:39.49 | Leeds | or uninstall |
| 14:40.42 | Guest74790 | Leeds: I thought not, but can't see how to modify/edit the name/password connection/ident? |
| 14:40.59 | Leeds | are you messaging nickserv by hand, or letting xchat do it? |
| 14:41.16 | Guest74790 | Leeds: xchat |
| 14:41.38 | Leeds | so what happens if you do it by hand, which is what I asked originally? |
| 14:42.38 | Guest74790 | Leeds: Sorry, by "hand" I mean I typed in the message to nickserv in xchat |
| 14:43.03 | Leeds | oh, for fuck's sake... I give up |
| 14:43.12 | Guest74790 | Leeds: eyah, OK, I'm a numpty ... |
| 14:43.19 | Leeds | what happens |
| 14:43.22 | Leeds | when you type in |
| 14:43.24 | Leeds | the commands |
| 14:43.26 | Leeds | to identify yourself |
| 14:43.28 | Leeds | to nickserv? |
| 14:44.06 | Guest74790 | Leeds: the word identify and a row of asterisks. Is all. |
| 14:44.32 | Leeds | and you're 100% sure |
| 14:44.34 | Leeds | you've checked |
| 14:44.36 | Leeds | a couple of times |
| 14:44.40 | Leeds | that you don't get a reply |
| 14:44.43 | Leeds | from nickserv |
| 14:44.46 | Guest74790 | Yup. |
| 14:44.46 | Leeds | in, say, another tab/windows? |
| 14:45.26 | Leeds | if you do "/msg nickserv help" what happens? |
| 14:45.39 | Guest74790 | I haven't any showing |
| 14:45.48 | Guest74790 | I did that too. Nowt. |
| 14:46.05 | Leeds | I don't believe you |
| 14:46.47 | Guest74790 | I can understand, but you may be de-rating my 80-year-old memory ... |
| 14:48.14 | Guest74790 | I very much appreciate your efforts, leeds, although we've often chatted before. I think I'll try the de-install route ... |
| 14:49.18 | Leeds | I doubt very much it will help, if nickserv is ignoring just you |
| 14:49.54 | Guest74790 | Mind you, I'd still like some advice on my original query from earlier ... |
| 14:50.08 | Guest74790 | As gr0undhog, that is ... |
| 14:50.26 | Guest74790 | The Packard Bell? |
| 14:50.32 | Leeds | I was using Slackware on hardware of that sort of spec - oh, 18 years ago? |
| 14:51.22 | Guest74790 | Um. Notoriously "difficult" - but worth a try? |
| 14:51.39 | Guest74790 | Slackware, i mean |
| 14:52.14 | Guest74790 | I kind of recall something like a "mini" Linux |
| 14:52.30 | wethrin | Slackware's not difficult |
| 14:52.37 | Leeds | it's truly ancient hardware, you're not going to be running anything even vaguely modern or 'user-friendly' on it |
| 14:53.40 | Leeds | assuming the rest of the kit is as old as the 80MB hard drive |
| 14:53.55 | Guest74790 | I've got a feeling my video's playing up - occasional flashes - but yeah, I'll get our my LinuxFormat cds |
| 14:54.39 | Guest74790 | Leeds: you're a great guy, thanks - we will talk again - ciao |
| 14:54.46 | Leeds | seeya |
| 14:54.49 | wethrin | 80MB? Eesh, people throw away USB keys bigger than that! |
| 14:55.06 | Leeds | um, I've thrown away memory cards orders of magnitude bigger |
