Hi, This is really strange that you install a 1.2x version from Ubuntu repositories as 2.0.x is available since 13.04.
The version 2.0.5 available, while quite outdated, is working out of the box (at least on Debian Wheezy) : # apt-get install inspircd [...] # sed --in-place "s/^INSPIRCD_ENABLED=0/INSPIRCD_ENABLED=1/" /etc/default/inspircd # service inspircd start Starting Inspircd... done. # pgrep -lf inspircd 16255 /usr/sbin/inspircd --logfile /var/log/inspircd.log --config /etc/inspircd/inspircd.conf start # nc localhost 6667 :irc.local NOTICE Auth :*** Looking up your hostname... ^C Please note that the configuration required *mass* user configuration, as upstream handle many (all ?) case to offer a complete ircd. I think your wrong started inspircd, try using the initscript (/etc/init.d/inspircd start), or start command directly. It seems that you're trying to launch inspircd as another user through /usr/sbin/inspircd, so you have to mention at least a configuration file and logfile (but don't remember if it is sufficient). I suggest to use the system script that launch the service with default irc system user. FYI, the latest stable upstream release 2.0.16 has been uploaded today on Debian. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1334462 Title: version of inspircd in repos is broken for all versions of ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inspircd/+bug/1334462/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
