<@Tamber>
Ah, that wonderful amount of support when it comes to errors from open-source software.
20:36
<@Tamber>
...sweet fuck all. Plenty of threads from others having the exact same problem; 0 actual answers, 2 "This is the users list, go ask on the sysadmins list", several "Please help, I'm having this isuse too!"
20:37
<@Tamber>
issue*
20:37
<@Tamber>
This bloody thing worked until it got upgraded and restarted. *sigh* The real lesson? Don't upgrade, it fucking breaks things.
20:37
<@Anna>
What program+error?
20:38
<@Tamber>
jabberd14. And "bouncing a routed packet to tamber@im.furryhelix.co.uk from 13@c2s/92F8830: Internal Delivery Error" every time I try to connect.
20:39
< gnolam>
And let me guess: the only Google hits you get on the error are from 2007 or something like that and nothing in the answers apply anymore?
20:39
< gnolam>
(A.k.a. the Linux Support Problem)
20:39
<@Tamber>
Answers?
20:39
<@Tamber>
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
20:40
<@Tamber>
And it's exactly no consolation whatsover that the hits on the error range from 2004 to 2009.
20:40
<@Tamber>
All with exactly the same lack of any help whatsoever.
20:41
<@Tamber>
It seems to mostly be two or three threads asking; and the rest of them are mirrors of those damn MLs.
20:42
<@Tamber>
But, yep; "The Open Source Support Problem."
20:42
<@Anna>
Shitty
20:42
<@Anna>
Unfortunately, it's not something I'd be familliar with, all I can suggest is make use of tcpdump
20:43
<@Tamber>
I've tried reinstalling the damn thing; purging all the configs and reconfiguring from scratch; etc, etc, etc.
20:44
<@Tamber>
I really don't think I'm asking for something unreasonable, though: That I can log into my own jabber account.
20:58 * Tamber ...s

<@Tamber>
Apparently, Debian thinks the best way of configuring what hostname jabberd is supposed to be on is to *ignore* the value in the configuration file, and set it in /etc/defaults/jabberd14; so their default value of 'localhost' overrides the value I thought it was using. (im.furryhelix.co.uk)
21:02
<@Tamber>
That would explain why I was seeing different behaviour between running it from init script, and running it manually.
21:08 * Tamber dances
21:08
<@Tamber>
It works now!

Huzzah! Debian retardation wastes another's day!

<&McMartin>
Hm. I can scrap this whole file.
21:44
<@Jasever>
First time I configured it, took me two days to make it normally usable.
21:45
<&McMartin>
I find Debian is noticably more usable when it's called "Ubuntu", though even then getting an acceptable dev environment up and running is like pulling teeth.
21:45
<@Anna>
Ugh, no
21:46
<@Anna>
I used to SA Ubuntu Servers
21:46
<@Anna>
It was one of the most rage inducing things I've done beyond use Windows for half an hour. They keep a bunch of configuration idiocy from Debian.
21:47
<@Tamber>
And add their own? :p
21:47
<@Tamber>
Which isn't compatible with anything else on the planet?
21:47
<@Anna>
Yeah

Ubuntu's most major crime is its interface.
21:48
<@Anna>
Also configuration scripts that ask questions when you start an update, come back an hour later and discover the postfix paused the entire fucking thing.

Anna: Your problem here is you said "server"~
22:07
<&McMartin>
Notice I said "dev environment", that is, a desktop system.
22:08
<@Anna>
Yeah
22:08
<@Anna>
:p
22:09
<&McMartin>
This also means that modern Windows systems are high end of middle-of-the-pack for my metric, because it's "insert DVD, push button, go read comics for a while, repeat once, run the updaters, done"
22:10
<&McMartin>
And then "go download stuff off of sourceforge" instead of "go on the Internet to find what the packages are named in *this* distro again"
22:10
<&McMartin>
Which, for debian, often took longer than the actual download and install =P
22:12
<@Tamber>
"It's not 'libfoo', it's 'libfoo11'."
22:13
<&McMartin>
It's libfoo11-dev.
22:14
<@Tamber>
Except when it's libfoo11dev
22:14
<&McMartin>
And then libfoo11-doc if you wanted to be able to call up useful information about it.
22:14
<&McMartin>
It's the 11 part that rankles =P
22:14
<&McMartin>
I can make guesses for the rest.
22:14
<@Tamber>
Indeed.
