<grobda24> Hello. I want to contribute to the channel policy (#ubuntu). Is the launchpad page the right place ?
<Pici> grobda24: Can you clarify as to what you mean by contribue to the channel policy?
<grobda24> Pici .. ok ... there seems to be strictly no other chatter in #ubuntu. I am directed to #ubuntu-offtopic where I'm sure it can be very interesting, but the chatter is rarely about general Ubuntu issues that I want to discuss. This all seems a little too strict IMO.
<Myrtti> and your solution to this would be?
<grobda24> Myrtti ... allowance of some chatter. It forms relationships and oil's the wheels of helping people.
<Myrtti> I don't want to sound harsh, but the discussion in #u-ot is fully dependant on people there. Just wishing there'd be discussion of General Ubuntu Issues isn't making that conversation happen, you should start it yourself
<grobda24> Yes, I know :)
<grobda24> But, I still think my suggestion about more chatter in #ubuntu is worth considering.
<Myrtti> for #ubuntu, the amount of random noise is almost staggering and it *has* to be kept strictly on support to keep it readable to those less skilled in irc-fu
<jussi01> grobda24: ubuntu is busy enough as it is
<grobda24> OK, that's your opinion ... I beg to differ.
<grobda24> Is it possible to submit a blueprint ?
<Myrtti> I don't have knowledge in it, perhaps
<Pici> grobda24: You can submit an agenda item https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/IrcCouncil/MeetingAgenda for our next meeting, date TBD
<grobda24> k
 * elkbuntu raises an eyebrow.
<elkbuntu> -offtopic doesnt work on a scheduled topic system.
<Pici> If that was what he was asking, then I misunderstood.

<blizzkid> morning all
<[NikO]> nalioth ping :)
<PriceChild> [NikO]: can I help?
<[NikO]> i just have a question for nalioth i think, about floodbot :)
<Pici> He didn't write the floodbots. He only hosts one (or two) of them.
<[NikO]> ah ok
<Pici> Perhaps we can help you anyway, what was the question?
<[NikO]> if they are supybot, and also, in this case, if the flood plugin source is available somewhere
<[NikO]> flood / badwords
<Pici> No, they are not supybots, they are written in php, and unfortunately the source is not available at this time.
<[NikO]> ok, thanks
<[NikO]> i thinks we ( u-fr ops ) will write two plugins for supybot
<Pici> Sounds good, supybots are pretty easy to extend.
<PriceChild> Informing glade88 about the naming policies wrt his delhi loco team channel
<Pici> How is it named now?
<PriceChild> #ubuntu-del
<PriceChild> its also empty and i have no idea why he thinks creating this subteam is a good idea
<PriceChild> He asked me for help opping in there, so moved onto the above

<Syntux> I'm trying to register a new Ubuntu- channel, I wonder if I need IRCop help for that as the chanserv registration command not giving any output.
<nalioth> Syntux: which one?
<Syntux> nalioth, #Ubuntu-Arabic  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-arabic
<Syntux> nalioth, can you help or do I have to wait until chanserv is back; that's if it's down.

 * jussi01 wanders
<jussi01>  in
<jussi01> :)
<jussi01> hrm, whats wrong with #ubuntu-sa ?
<Syntux> Morning
<Syntux> jussi01, what about #ubuntu-sa ?
<jussi01> !sa
<ubottu> For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join ÙÙØºØ© Ø§ÙØ¹Ø±Ø¨ÙØ© Ø±Ø¬Ø§Ø¡ Ø§ÙØ¸Ù #ubuntu-sa
<Syntux> and?
<Syntux> sorry but I did not get it :-)
<jussi01> Just wondering why we need another arabic channel...
<Syntux> jussi01, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu-Arabic/Proposal
<Syntux> jussi01, #ubuntu-sa and all other -Arabic channels aimed for Arabic LoCos disposal not for the general Arabic community which is growing (although it's happening slowly but it's happening)
<jussi01> Hrm... Still as long asI can remember there has only been 1 arabic channel anyway - why not continue to use it?
<Syntux> jussi01, because there is an Arabic team now
<jussi01> or are you planning to redirect -sa to -arabic?
<Syntux> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-arabic
<Syntux> jussi01, Not at all but Arabic support has been redirected to -sa because we did not have an Arabic team,  now we  do.
<jussi01> Syntux: ok. once you are done with setup, ping me or one of the other ops and we will get you a factoid/amend the current one
<Syntux> jussi01, for reason or another I'm not able to register the channel, I'm not getting any reply from chanserv
<Syntux> jussi01, another thing, I do not want to take over -sa as it meant to be Saudi Arabia LoCo team channel
<jussi01> hrm
<jussi01> did you try again this morning?
<Syntux> jussi01, just tried now and the same
<jussi01> Syntux: pop into #freenode and ask would be my suggestion
<Syntux> they would forward me back to #Ubuntu-irc as it's ubuntu related matter ?
<jussi01> no, they shouldnt - its a freenode matter as you cant register a channel...
<jussi01> doesnt matter if its ours or someone else...
<Syntux> will give it a try
<Syntux> actually I'm thinking to register the channel on DALnet network, there are more arabs there.
<jussi01> Syntux: Id advise against that
<jussi01> Syntux: ubuntu official channels are on freenode - so if you want it to be officialit should be here
<Syntux> ok, will keep it here
 * Syntux ahbal heh
<Syntux> just found that I already registered it like month ago!
<jussi01> rofl
<Syntux> jussi01, now for the Arabic Support channel, we can settle this issue later; I'm waiting for mailing list setup so I can communicate with the team members.

#ubuntu-irc 2008-07-05
 * TiMiDo is away: Auto-away after 2 mins idle (gone at 5th Jul, 04:38:40)
<_r1_> I there
<nalioth> hi _r1_
<_r1_> :)
<_r1_> ok then
<_r1_> It would be great to have a +L on #ubuntu-fr
<nalioth> _r1_: why do you need a +L ?
<_r1_> The team have some issue to manage all the banned bot/spammers/...
<_r1_> they have try (after my recommend) to keep that without a +L
<nalioth> how about clearing some old bans?
<_r1_> but they have to purge and reban a lot
<_r1_> nalioth: allready done
<_r1_> they have tried to handle that but they relly need it apprently... (I'm just owner and I'm not really active in moderation team)
<_r1_> I give them some help for internal problems and this kind of issue
<nalioth> +L for some ops is "ban and forget" enabling
<_r1_> I agree
<_r1_> So I'll keep an eye on it
<_r1_> can you /j #ubuntu-fr-geeks ?
<_r1_> there is the Op team
<PriceChild> With 230 users, asking for +L implies that bans are needed on a very large number of people, respective to the channel size.
<[NikO]> we check each week, remove bans, and on the same reput them ...
<[NikO]> +week
<PriceChild> I remember a few requests about the floodbots also, scary.
<[NikO]> u-de have it no ?
<_r1_> PriceChild: what ?
<[NikO]> we put ones
<PriceChild> But then again, I notice #ubuntu-offtopic has +L and it has been useful iirc.
<PriceChild> (That's a smaller channel, but possibly more volatile)
<_r1_> mmm
<_r1_> really I don't understand why you are so hard to convice to put a +L on the u-fr chan
<[NikO]> u-fr moderators have discussion about +L each week, that s only the second time we ask for it
<_r1_> I reapeat that I'm not in "really" the moderator team
<_r1_> If they ask me to act for them
<_r1_> It's beacause they have a real problem
<_r1_> then I'll be honnest, they start to think that there is a problem between you and them :/
<_r1_> I'm not a part of any
<_r1_> but It would be great to restore communications :p
<PriceChild> What was Suske_ kickbanned for earlier?
<[NikO]> i was away at the moment, i can't answer
<_r1_> PriceChild: mmm why this question ?
<_r1_> PriceChild: It's the modaration team choice...
<PriceChild> What does "1215273195 20080705T165315 < Suske_> En tout cas, bravo les zouaves: une question "simple" (peut-Ãªtre mal posÃ©e) et je reÃ§ois de retour 3 vannes simplistes  du style "mal codÃ©", "jquery, le truc du mec de 12 ans", et puis des "truismes sur le w3c et on a mÃªme dÃ©jÃ  parlÃ© d'IE6  alors que je questionne sur Konqueror...
<PriceChild> 1215273223 20080705T165343 < Suske_> Ma proposition: si la question ne vous dit rien, dites "je sais pas", c'est mieux :-)
<PriceChild> gah
<PriceChild> ignore that sorry
<PriceChild> What does "t'chao the Zouaves" mean?
<_r1_> "by the ... "
<_r1_> how to say
<_r1_> kind of "assholes" :)
<PriceChild> gah "t'chao les Zouaves" sorry
<_r1_> less aggressive
<_r1_> PriceChild: sooo
<PriceChild> It was the kick remove message used on Suske_
<[NikO]> it s like see you later or something like that
<_r1_> PriceChild: you don't trust team and verify the choices they made ?
<_r1_> ...
<PriceChild> I've got my Ubuntu hat on, just being nosey and looking at how bans are used in the channel.
<PriceChild> _r1_: Sure, and we have done for some time, but it doesn't hurt to check up. All the teams I am on have people checking up on us too.
<_r1_> ok
<_r1_> actually, the team works, they construct they participate on ubuntu event
<_r1_> to help
<_r1_> aand you ask yourself if they are good...
<_r1_> really I think (personnaly without any hat :) ) that's not so good
<_r1_> but as you want
<PriceChild> I'm not accusing you of running the channel badly.
<PriceChild> You're asking freenode for +L, and I'm just having a quick look at how bans are used in the channel.
<nalioth> _r1_: any channel that asks for +L gets looked at like this
<[NikO]> we do the max to keep a good 'ambiance' on the channel
<[NikO]> people help others, no insult, respect
<PriceChild> [NikO]: were you in the channel at the time of the ban I'm enquiring about?
<_r1_> nalioth: ok
<[NikO]> no, as i say before, i m away when the bans was put
<PriceChild> whoops sorry
<[NikO]> sorry for my poor english too :)
<_r1_> mine too :)
<PriceChild> Your English is much better than my French :)
<[NikO]> well, perhaps the only solution we have, it s to use the bot to manage bans ..
<_r1_> :/

<csw840915> dont find it
<csw840915> will try again
<cousteau> looks like all #ubuntu-es ops have gone
<niko> cousteau: a problem ?
<cousteau> well, all the flooders seem to have gone
<cousteau> anyway... isn't it dangerous to have a channel without ops?
<niko> cousteau: for big flood, the bot guard
<niko> for troll and other things human is need :)
<cousteau> that's the problem; if a user creates 5 nicks and floods from all of them, maybe the bot doesn't notice it
<cousteau> (and the humans have disappeared)
<niko> cousteau: bot see that
<Myrtti> the fact there are no visible ops doesn't mean there are no ops at all
<Pici> freenode guidelines suggest that we not use our operator powers until needed.
<cousteau> the problem is that sometimes trolls are a bit cleverer than bots
<cousteau> Myrtti: there doesn't seem to be any one
<Myrtti> surely #ubuntu-es has the ops call, or similar to attract attention of the ops?
<niko> Myrtti: !ops perhaps
<niko> cousteau: is the guy is the flooder ?
<Myrtti> niko: that's what I meant
<Pici> niko: yes... we were eluding to it since most of us have that on highlight.
<cousteau> I'll ask the bots.. there must be some help pages somewhere
<niko> ok, i quiet him 30 minutes
<niko> time to go home now
<cousteau> who did you ban??
<jpds> What a strange conversation they're having in there.
<cousteau> I mean, who did you quiet?
<Myrtti> jpds: I agree
<Pici> â¥ gtrans.pl (at least when it doesnt crash)
<niko> jpds: try !ops on u-es
<niko> ( if you are on u-es-ops of course :)
<jpds> Why?
<niko> yo test

<jpds> Test what?

<niko> please hl me, when there is some matters
<juan-arg> no (sorry y not speak english) raul disconect
<Pici> Este canal no es sÃ³lo InglÃ©s
<m4v> niko: there's a !ops in u-es, but that time the kubot was being flooded as well, so Elidix gave it a !part from #ubuntu-es
<m4v> so, *yay* for another day of flooding in ubuntu-es
<niko> m4v: i put a !ops which highlight ops on #ubuntu-es-ops
<niko> try yourself
<m4v> niko: remember that you disabled the '!' char prefix in #ubuntu-es of uBOTu-fr
<m4v> in any case there's never many ops in #u-es-ops, only erUSUL and Roaksoak
<m4v> niko: i rejoined the kubot in u-es, you really don't need to add !ops to uBOTu-fr
<m4v> the problem with ubuntu-es is its lack of reliable ops, highlighting by the bot won't help much
<niko> m4v: perhaps, you should find guy to match somes interval where there is no ops
<m4v> niko: you don't understand, p3l|c4n0 is the only guy that can add ops, he's been offline for a week now.
<m4v> and when he's online, he ignores erUSUL
<niko> m4v: i understand
<niko> we put out our *admin*
<niko> somes 6 month before

<elky> m4v, have you taken this mismanagement issue to the LoCo Council at all?
<swoody> I was wondering if someone here may be able to help me out, or point me in the right direction? I'm looking into how to take ownership of an official "#ubuntu-*" channel, since the founder is no longer active
<m4v> elky: no, I talked with erUSUL though, and he wants to talk to p3l|c4n0 once more. Since he's the active op of u-es I'll stick to what he wishes
<m4v> elky: but what's this LoCo Council? I have been here for a while and I don't know much about it, is there's a spanish LoCo council its members surelly don't show up around much.
<m4v> s/is there's/if there's/
<elky> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil
<elky> it is global.
<m4v> ah, I have seen effie-jayz around, but never talked to. Well, I'll poke erUSUL and see what he thinks.
<swoody> hey sorry about that nalioth :)
<swoody> I got pointed to the founder of the channel in question, so I sent him a /msg
<swoody> still waiting his response, though
<nalioth> it would help a lot if you'd share the name of the channel
<swoody> #ubuntu-folding
<swoody> looking for gouki
<nalioth> swoody: i'm not sure how being online now is considred "no longer active" (or am i missing something?)
<swoody> no, I had asked around the couple people who have been active in the channel if they had seen him in there, but nobody has for a long time. I asked my question above a bit quick, since I found he's online.
<swoody> like I said, I sent him a msg, and am waiting to hear back from him now
<nalioth> what did you need, swoody ?
<swoody> nalioth:  well I'd like to be able to have some of the people who frequent that channel, and use it actively to be able to gain ownership of it, so we can moderate it, and maintain it
<nalioth> does it need moderation?
<swoody> not at this current moment, but the folding team has been gaining momentum, and it would be nice for those of us who use it to be able to maintain it
<nalioth> understood
<swoody> nalioth:  ^^
<swoody> oops, sorry about that :)
<nalioth> there are 39 ops there now
<swoody> in #ubuntu-folding?
<nalioth> yes.
<swoody> that must be a bit outdated. I've been in the for a couple months now, and Zelut even longer. And haven't seen any ops at all.
<swoody> that's why I wanted to bring it up to date, and have ops that are active in the channel
<nalioth> swoody: there are plenty of ops if you have trouble  /msg chanserv access #ubuntu-folding list
<swoody> nalioth:  it says Zelut is an op? I asked him, but he says he doesn't, and it doesn't show him as one in the channel?
<nalioth> i guess you need to explain "op" to zelut
<swoody> nalioth:  well, luckily he's afk as well. But I'll speak with him when he comes back.
<swoody> but thanks for getting me pointed back in the right direction :)
<swoody> btw, is PriceChild = Pricey?
<m4v> swoody: I believe yes
<swoody> ok, that's what I thought. Thanks m4v :)
<atari2600a> hey
<bazhang> hi
<atari2600a> some months ago I was banned from  #Ubuntu for lashing out or something
<atari2600a> I don't exactly remember
<bazhang> join #ubuntu-ops
<atari2600a> but I still feel like an asshat because o it
<atari2600a> wait, I thought this was #ubuntu-ops...
<atari2600a> weird
<m4v> nalioth, Pricey: what a coincidence, mind if I ask you guys why you're lurking in #supremos as well?, do they cause trouble in other channels other than ubuntu's spanish ones?
<nalioth> lurking?
<m4v> eer, sorry, "being present without talking"
<Nafallo> m4v: "idle" :-)
<m4v> Nafallo: ah, gotcha
<nalioth> well, as staff, i'm "idle" in lots of channels i don't actively participate in
<m4v> yes, i understand. I believe yesterday's flooding in u-es came from one of its members so I went to idle there and see what, I was curious why there are some many staffers there.
<nalioth> m4v: it should be obvious.
<m4v> s/some/so/
<m4v> well then, but if you keep an eye in Nehyx it will help me, he uses sockpuppet accounts for trolling and is a headache for me and erUSUL.
<m4v> I can spot some of his accounts in #supremos's ban list, so I guess the does troll in #supremos as well.
<m4v> I'm talking about it with stew, thanks nalioth :)
<erUSUL> is there any way to block notices to a channel ?
<niko> erUSUL: no but you can /umode +C yourself

<erUSUL> nalioth: niko a banned user can not sen notices to the channel.. that was what i wanted to know how to stp someone flooding a channel with notices
<niko> erUSUL: ok
<niko> note sur i implement channel notice flood detection on ubot2
<niko> uBOTu-fr:
<niko> hum, 5 minutes and i do it

<niko> !reload FloodProtect

<dragon_> It'd be cool to have ubottu create links to Google searches
<dragon_> query "google keywords" could fetch "http://www.google.com/linux?q=keywords"
<dragon_> can't tell if anybody read that
<Myrtti> so what do you suggest, how would it work?
<dragon_> Myrtti: probably like the way ubottu's other commands do
<Myrtti> so you're really suggesting that we'd give  people lmgtfy links?
<Myrtti> if not in reality, then in effect
<dragon_> sort of, for those who try IRC before Google
<dragon_> command will be subjected to the same moderation and abuse control as other commands, so it seems ok to me so far
<Myrtti> I hate the suggestion
<Tm_T> hi
<dragon_> ok.
<Tm_T> dragon_: no thanks, lmgtfy is already too much
<Myrtti> it's just not worth it
<Myrtti> we're supposed to give quality answers and support, and take this atleast in a semiprofessional attitude
<Myrtti> giving halfhearted, unchecked and possibly bad, harmful or just plain wrong advice in the form of random google links  is not a good idea
<Tm_T> why not then direct our support channels to ##google or even the actual webpage (;)
<Tm_T> Myrtti: agreed
<dragon_> makes sense
<Myrtti> IRC channels, if mentored and monitored correctly, give better advice than Google.
<Tm_T> google doesn't ask "did that work?"
<Tm_T> nor pretty much help you any way with your attempts
<Myrtti> google also returns results including arbitrary root account activation, use of unchecked totally random scripts (of -matix fame and similar) and randomly compiling stuff from source without checking the repos
<Tm_T> Myrtti: not to mention random packages
<dragon_> yeah, plain google does that.
<Myrtti> in short: benefits don't overrule the possible harm done
<Tm_T> if you don't want to help, don't try to help then (;)
<Tm_T> that's the guideline for lmgtfy-type of persons
<dragon_> Tm_T: there are some questions that deserve a lmgtfy answer
<Myrtti> dragon_: there is no stupid questions
<Myrtti> there is only stupid answers
<Myrtti> people want to be held by hand when doing new things.
<Myrtti> it's human behaviour, we're scared of trying new things.
<Myrtti> quite possibly people have done google search, have found confusing information and come to IRC to get a confirmation on a road to travel
<dragon_> yes
<Myrtti> and all you see is "how do I install software in Ubuntu"
<Tm_T> dragon_: the whole purpose of #ubuntu for example is to help with ubuntu, be it by giving good search words
<Tm_T> or something else
<dragon_> i agree that a link to ubuntu docs would be way more helpful than a link to google
<Myrtti> the problem with lmgtfy links is also that in order to justify their use in any given circumstance, you'd have to do the google search yourself, check that the results given are valid and good, and the reproduce the query for the person asking
<Myrtti> and in most cases it's just easier to hand pick the result URL's and give them to the person, than giving him the lmgtfy link and give a warning "but don't use the second link, it's bad"
<Myrtti> not to mention the fact that google gives different results depending on your language and location
<dragon_> Myrtti, Tm_T: thanks for your feedback. it helped me understand things better.
<Tm_T> dragon_: np, that's why we are here for
<dragon_> :)
<dragon_> catch ya later
<jussi01> crud, why didnt I see this before.
<Tm_T> see what?
<jussi01> We have that facility on ubottu, (the google one) but we chose to disable it
<Tm_T> good (:)
<jussi01> Philip5: can we help you with something today?
<Myrtti> jussi01: look around
<jussi01> oh
<Philip5> juliux: ehem, i don't know... can you? ;)
<jussi01> whoops
<jussi01> Philip5: sorry.
<jussi01> I thought I was elswhere :D
<Philip5> hehe, no problem
<Philip5> i'm not sure who i'm today either
<Philip5> ;)
<jussi01> :D
<MTecknology> nalioth: Do you have packages for jaunty and karmic yet?
<Tm_T> MTecknology: packages of what?
<MTecknology> Tm_T: PackageInfo plugin on ubot3
<Tm_T> ah
<evanrmurphy> I've been waiting two weeks to get some flags from the founder of #ubuntu-l10n-es with no response. He initially opped me, but didn't pass the flag so I lost it on reentry. I'm pretty sure he meant to grant the flags (asked me if I wanted to be "coordinator and op" for the channel beforehand), so I was wondering if someone here could do it. Thanks for your time.
<evanrmurphy> To clarify: I highly doubt this will create conflict, but on the offchance that P3L|C4N0 does complain later, I suppose we could have my flags revoked. Requesting a "/msg ChanServ FLAGS #ubuntu-es-l10n evanrmurphy +*".
<evanrmurphy> sorry, channel name backwards there. Should be #ubuntu-l10n-es... "/msg ChanServ FLAGS #ubuntu-l10n-es evanrmurphy +*".
<nalioth> evanrmurphy: nothing works unless you're identified to services
<evanrmurphy> nalioth: Could you paraphrase that please? Identified in which sense?
<nalioth> evanrmurphy: /msg nickserv help identify
<nalioth> w/o being identified, any troll could /nick evanrmurphy and kick / ban / murder in channels you have ops in
<nalioth> without the identification services of this network, i mean
<ubot2> In #ubuntu-br, icefusion11 said: !poo is <reply> AcrÃ´nimo de ProgramaÃ§Ã£o Orientada a Objetos
<evanrmurphy> nalioth: Thanks, now I'm identified. Sorry, I thought I was already, but apparently the automatic identify didn't go through.
<nalioth> evanrmurphy: if you are +e, services knows who you are
<nalioth> Want to see if someone is identified to services at a glance?  http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#spoofing evanrmurphy, this will show you who is and who isn't identified (so you don't talk to trolls)
<evanrmurphy> nalioth: OK, thanks.
<evanrmurphy> nalioth: Would you be able to grant my request?
<evanrmurphy> CAPAB IDENTIFY-MSG
<nalioth> evanrmurphy: i'm afraid you'll need to ask P3L|C4N0
<evanrmurphy> nalioth: Is there a response time cap on his unilateral authority? I sent him an email two weeks ago and a MemoServ note before that.
<evanrmurphy> I'd appreciate a comment from one of the members who was helping me on this case earlier. (m4v, Pici, niko)
<niko> evanrmurphy: i'm not an op of #ubuntu-es* related channels, but i know the issue with P3L|C4N0
<niko> we have the same one years before on #ubuntu-fr*
<niko> finally the guy leave the lead
<evanrmurphy> niko: You mean P3L|C4N0 finally left, or other person?
<m4v> evanrmurphy: the problem isn't with you only. We're trying to contact p3l|c4n0 as well
<niko> evanrmurphy: other one
<niko> with same issue
<evanrmurphy> m4v: Ah... I wasn't aware.
<m4v> yesterday we had a talk about it in #ubuntu-es-ops with erUSUL and RoAkSoAx, we'll ask him to add another admin (+*) to the channels he owns
<m4v> he's been missing for a week...
<evanrmurphy> niko, nalioth: Thanks for your help with this! m4v and RoAkSoAx are assisting me now in #ubuntu-es-ops and the channel in question.

<ScottK> I'm here to discuss adding a new Kubuntu related IRC channel.  I just found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/CreatingChannels and so I'm doing things a bit out of order.
<ScottK> The channel is #kubuntu-netbook and I'm here checking per the wiki page.
#ubuntu-irc 2009-07-03
<elky> ScottK, i take it this is for customisation of kubuntu stuff for teensy screens and so forth? if so, sounds fair enough
<ScottK> elky: It is.
<bAd_HoRsiE> **rubs eyes**  @_@

<humphreybc> Hello
<humphreybc> If I could bother you for two secs, could I grab an Ubuntu members cloak?
<gryllida> I was looking for it the other day, this page is a bit helpful: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership
<tsimpson> can you post a link to your launchpad page
<humphreybc> tsimpson: https://launchpad.net/~humphreybc
<gryllida> wow, founder and leader of the Ubuntu Manual project
<tsimpson> VorTechS: are you available?

<humphreybc> tsimpson: there's no huge rush, don't want to bother anyone
<tsimpson> hopefully one should pop up soon
<humphreybc> tsimpson: groovy. I'll be around for another hour or so before I hit the sack
<tsimpson> * humphreybc (~benjamin@ubuntu/member/humphreybc) has joined #ubuntu-irc

<humphreybc> awesome, thankyou!
<tsimpson> no problem :)

<plars> according to the lp team description, this is the right place to ask about getting an Ubuntu irc cloak?
<nhandler> plars: Are you an official ubuntu member?
<plars> nhandler: yes, pwlars on lp
<nhandler> plars: Do you have a link to your LP profile?
<plars> nhandler: https://launchpad.net/~pwlars
<nhandler> jussi, tsimpson, Pici, topyli: ^^^
<Pici> sure, one moment.
<Pici> nhandler: Could you please cloak plars with ubuntu/member/plars ?
<nhandler> plars: You might also want to set an email address: /msg nickserv help set email
<nhandler> plars: You are now cloaked though
<Pici> plars: Congrats :)
<plars> thanks :)
<IdleOne> congrats plars
<plars> thanks for the help everyone
<IdleOne> did nhandler just ask Pici to look at the link so Pici could ask nhandler to add the cloak?
<rww> IdleOne: yup. nhandler doesn't have a group contact hat, and was wearing his staffer hat
<rww> IdleOne: (the procedure being user asks group contact, who asks staff)
<IdleOne> I see, so for officialness sake
 * rww nods
<IdleOne> makes sense
<nhandler> Group Contacts are the only people who can request project cloaks, it isn't just for Ubuntu
<IdleOne> nhandler: just found it funny that you are the one who added the cloak and asked Pici to confirm. Does make sense now that I realize you aren't a group contact
<Pici> I also checked for member status and added to the cloaked users team.
<rww> What's that team for, anyway?
<Pici> Just to keep track of who we have cloaked.  Makes it easier to de-cloak people when their membership lapses.
<IdleOne> So we have to get re-approved after X time?
<rww> IdleOne: Ubuntu Memberships need self-renewing every so often. once a year, iirc.
<IdleOne> ahh ok
<nhandler> And if you let your membership lapse, we revoke the cloak
<IdleOne> and if that happens then I would need to reapply?
<nhandler> IdleOne: I can't remember the process for re-gaining membership. I believe you need to reapply, but don't hold me to that
<IdleOne> I won't
<nhandler> Actually, I think I've seen people just poke someone with sufficient access to get re-added
<nhandler> Best thing to do is not let your membership lapse
<io> Hi could I get a Ubuntu cloak please?
<guntbert> io: I have no say in this case - but are you an ubuntu member already?
<io> guntbert: Yes.
<nhandler> io: Do you have a link to your LP profile?
<nhandler> jussi, Pici, topyli, tsimpson: ^^^
<drubin> you know io that io nick on launchpad is already taken right?
<io> It's unused and I have requested it. :-)
<drubin> Ok.
<tsimpson> io: are you already an ubuntu member?
<drubin> yes
<nhandler> tsimpson: Look up
<tsimpson> I don't see a link to a LP profile :)
<drubin> io: but you should link to your old LP profile
<io> https://launchpad.net/~steffan
<nhandler> Oh wait, he PMed it to me ;)
<tsimpson> io: can you add your IRC nicks to the profile
<tsimpson> ?
<bazhang> https://launchpad.net/~steffan
<bazhang> whoops sorry
<io> tsimpson: Done.
<tsimpson> nhandler: can you give io an ubuntu/member/io cloak please?
<nhandler> tsimpson: Yep, I'll take care of it
<drubin> nhandler: Why did you ping them?
<tsimpson> drubin: because cloaks needs to be approved by a GC
<drubin> GC?
<tsimpson> Group Contact
<drubin> mmm which is?
<drubin> never mind ;-p
<nhandler> io: You are now cloaked
<drubin> I actually thought any board member could approve cloaks sorry. ;-p
<tsimpson> the long and short of it is that because nhandler is staff, he is not set as a contact for the Ubuntu group to avoid any possible conflict of interest
<tsimpson> even though he is a member of the council (go figure) :)
<io> nhandler: Thank you.
<drubin> yip odd.
<drubin> tsimpson: So is it only you 4 that can approve cloaks?
<tsimpson> yes
<drubin> Really thought there were more of you cloak giving peoples around ;-p
<tsimpson> we cope
<drubin> Any how that was a long membership meeting. So you should have  a few more people wanting cloaks
<nhandler> Well, I should be around for a while to apply them if needed.
<niko> yep, me too
<scott_ev> hello hello, may I please have my claok now?
<scott_ev> cloak*
<nhandler> scott_ev: Do you have a link to your LP profile?
<scott_ev> nhandler: just a sec

<scott_ev> is there any way to change that jsg-ev to scott-ev
<nhandler> scott_ev: /msg nickserv help set accountname

<scott_ev> correct
<nhandler> Bleh, that's what I get for trying to multitask
<scott_ev> LP was done forst and doesn't follow everythign else
<rww> scott_ev: one sec, I'll find you the link
<scott_ev> rww: thank you
<nhandler> scott_ev: I think you might need to file a question against LP to get the admins to do it
<tsimpson> scott_ev: try https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+edit
<scott_ev> nhandler: understood.  easy enough
<scott_ev> tsimpson: nice
<tsimpson> you should be able to change the account as long as you don't have a PPA and the other name is not taken
<nhandler> Ah, I forgot a PPA locked that down (which explains why I didn't have the edit box)
<scott_ev> tsimpson: correct and done

<Andre_Gondim> I saw that, I just need to know if this happens again, where can I report it?
<Andre_Gondim> hmmmmm, thanks

<zkriesse> Was wondering if anyone here had an idea on how to get MootBot in #ubuntu-beginners-wiki
<lubotu3> In #ubuntu-eg, EgyParadox said: !ubuntu-eg is The Ubuntu Egyptian LoCo team, for more information visit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam
<rww> I never can remember the contact person for that bot...
<zkriesse> well the page says to look at the #ubuntu-scribes but there's like, one person there
<nhandler> zkriesse: What was your question (if you didn't get an answer)
<jpds> zkriesse: Maybe that one person is the person to ask.
<rww> nhandler: he didn't, and the question was who to ask to get MootBot in #ubuntu-beginners-wiki
<rww> unless jpds is right, which is entirely possible :)
<vish> yeah,  he was asking in the -meeting channel , probably thought the ops would notice the Q from there ..
<vish>  <zkriesse> Is there anyone here who could maybe help me get MootBot in my channel its #ubuntu-beginners-wiki (Ubuntu Beginners Team Wiki channel)

<bazhang> s4ry, no, they said this and #ubuntu-locoteams are the place to handle it, not #ubuntu
<s4ry> okay , let me close these channels for good :)
<bazhang> s4ry, you need to follow the steps in the link I gave you
<s4ry> Okay , i'll do so right now
<s4ry> then i'll go ahead and report the issue
<bazhang> s4ry, explain what you are trying to do here and in #ubuntu-locoteams , contact bilalakhtar and see about fixing the channel #ubuntu-sa
<rww> I note that the people on the #ubuntu-sa access list are Idle-boy and ELYESS, neither of which I think you mentioned in #ubuntu-locoteams
<rww> the founder is set to freenode-staff, though :(
<s4ry> Yup
<bazhang> right and he has yet to contact staff or anyone else about transferring
<s4ry> the people how are trying to join he team are off that page .. we get in touch the arabic forum
<s4ry> all we wish for is to have a normal team
<s4ry> Especially that alot of people are Migrants from Windows to Ubuntu/Linux
<s4ry>  bazhang
<s4ry> i did contact the team admin / Bilal akhtar .. i got a stupid replay
<s4ry> he cannot set up the team resources , or maybe he don't want to .. i don't know
<s4ry> the funny thing is .. i sent him that e-mail Recommending him with a clue to set up the team in normal situation
<jussi> s4ry: Im getting the channel transferred to the ubuntu Irc council, we can then see who should have access.

<airon90> Hi, can someone help me? I'd like to know how to contact the admins of an ubuntu channel, which seems to be dead and I'd like to revive it
<Pici> airon90: Which channel?
<Pici> !ircc
<ubottu> The Ubuntu IRC Council is the team governance council for the the Ubuntu IRC channels on the freenode network - For serious inquiries please join #ubuntu-irc-council or email irc-council@lists.ubuntu.com - See also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil
<airon90> I'm one of the leader of the ubuntu-eo community and I'd like to manage the IRC channel

<airon90> Please, could you tell me how to get them? I'm using irc from some days ago :S
<airon90> Thank you in advance Pici :)
<airon90> I tryde to re-register ubuntu-eo but it told me "-ChanServ- #ubuntu-eo is already registered to Razor-X``." I sent a PM by typing /msg Razor-X <message> but there is an error:  Razor-X :No such nick/channel

<Unit193> Howdy! I was wondering if we could have !spanish changed in #xubuntu to point to the #xubuntu-es spanish channel as it points to #ubuntu-es now, thanks!
<rww> sure, one sec
<rww> !es-#xubuntu is <reply> En la mayorÃ­a de canales de Ubuntu se habla sÃ³lo en inglÃ©s. Si busca ayuda en espaÃ±ol o charlar entra en el canal #xubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #xubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter.
<ubottu> I'll remember that, rww
<Unit193> rww: Thanks!
<rww> go ahead and test that. I'm pretty sure it's fine, but channel specific factoid aliases get confusing sometimes
<Unit193> That's going to fill up logs quickly...
<Tm_T> ~/irclogs/  3.3G total
<Tm_T> few more kilos won't hurt (:
<Unit193> That would be almost half this HDD...
<Unit193> Mine is only 156
<popey> hmm, actually thats probably not useful is it
<popey> she'll want to come here to ask for bans elsewhere to be removed
<popey> sorry

<smb> jpds, Is there an official path to gain edit rights for factoids? Or just ask here for changes?
<Tm_T> smb: usually requesting changes suffice
<smb> Tm_T,  Ok, thanks. Seems ubotu already took the liberty of forwarding what I tried to do when playing around
<Pici> smb: Best to make your suggestions to ubottu herself, the other bots get dumps of the database periodically.
<smb> kernel-source is currently an alias to headers and it would be nice to have it changed to "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ#Kernel.2BAC8-FAQ.2BAC8-DevKernelSource.Where_can_I_find_the_Ubuntu_Kernel_source_code.3F"

<smb> !kernel-source
<ubottu> To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
<Pici> !no kernel-source is <reply> You can access all the kernels for previous and current development releases at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git. There are repositories for each supported release under ubuntu/ubuntu-<release>.git - For more details see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/SourceCode

<jamespage> hello
<jamespage> The DMB approved my first upload rights a couple of weeks ago; as that makes me implicitly an ubuntu member please could my IRC nick be setup with an ubuntu/member cloak?
<jamespage> LP URL: http://launchpad.net/~james-page - ta
<IdleOne> I didn't know that gave you membership
<IdleOne> jussi tsimpson elky topyli ^^
<popey> I didnt think it did either
<tsimpson> jamespage: you're not a member of the ubuntumembers team, sorry
<IdleOne> jamespage: you will need to apply for membership

<ubottu> Ubuntu Membership means recognition of a significant and sustained contribution to Ubuntu and the Ubuntu community.  For more info see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership
<pleia2> DMB can pepole to universe-contributors through their membership process, which gets you membership
<IdleOne> what!?
<pleia2> it's one of the ways listed on that page which ubottu links :)
<jamespage> so reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers
<Daviey> err
<jamespage> per-package upload rights (in my case the server package set) 'are implicitly considered Ubuntu Members'?
<Daviey> So, i advised jamespage to ask here.
<IdleOne> I guess DMB needs to add him to the ubuntumembers team
<Daviey> isn't ~ubuntu-dev an indirect member?
<tsimpson> that's what the wiki says, but Launchpad disagrees
<pleia2> asking the DMB is your best bet, this channel is just for IRC
<pleia2> developer-membership-board@lists.ubuntu.com
<pleia2> there is a lot of layering of teams happening on the dev side, and it changes often, I don't know exactly what it is now
<Daviey> hang on
<Daviey> ~ubuntu-dev, which james should be a member of is an indrect member of ~ubuntumembers
<pleia2> according to his launchpad page he's not in ~ubuntu-dev either
<Daviey> jamespage: so the DMB haven't done thier action
<Daviey> hmm
<jamespage> Daviey: ack - guess I'll chase there and come back later :-)
<Daviey> happy days.
<Daviey> jamespage: so ~ubuntu-server-dev needs to be added to ~ubuntu-dev, then the world is happy.
<Daviey> jamespage: congrats, you are now a ~ubuntumember.
<tsimpson> well, that was quick :)
<Daviey> tsimpson: it's not what you know... :)
<tsimpson> ping VorTechS, marienz, mquin, tomaw
<marienz> yes?
<tsimpson> marienz: can we get a ubuntu/member/jamespage cloak for jamespage please
<marienz> sure
<tsimpson> thanks :)
<marienz> no problem
<tsimpson> jamespage: you're all set now
<Daviey> jamespage: that is a lovely new cloak you have, wear it with pride.
 * popey gives jamespage an obligatory hug
<IdleOne> congrats jamespage :)

<acklee> how to create Ubuntu cloaks on freenode?
<rww> acklee: Ubuntu cloaks are given on request to Ubuntu Members when they ask for one in this channel and provide their Launchpad URL.

<ubottu> Ubuntu Membership means recognition of a significant and sustained contribution to Ubuntu and the Ubuntu community.  For more info see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership
<acklee> my launchpad is https://launchpad.net/~aksyahba
<rww> you're not an Ubuntu Member. See the message from ubottu :)
<acklee> ok cool.. I'm reading Ubuntu membership right now..
<Unit193> !cloak
<ubottu> Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode? See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks - More information available in #freenode
<acklee> Thanks rww & Unit193.. It's clear now..
<Unit193> Yep! I have a freenode cloak
<acklee> Yes, that's cool.. A little envy, wanting to get it too.. Yesterday I put the Code of Conduct on Launchpad, but failed.. I do not understand why.. I'll try again soon..
<Unit193> (This isn't an offtopic channel) I'm going to be trying for membership
<acklee> Oops, sorry if I speak out of topic .. Yes of course, I also wanted to become a member, I'll meet the LoCo guys here..
#ubuntu-irc 2012-07-03
<JoseeAntonioR> guys, what are the technical difficulties ongoing in #u-unregged?
<Unit193> If you are talking about the topic, that's a blanket for when people are forward banned to there do to unregistered flooding in #ubuntu (or another channel, or reason)
<JoseeAntonioR> hmm, supposed something like that
<JoseeAntonioR> thanks
<Unit193> If you'll notice the date it was set.
<jo-erlend> now I've purchased Diablo 3, which is supposed to work with the newest Wine. There's an issue with my VGA driver. Do we have an Ubuntu Gaming irc channel? Should we?
<Myrtti> have you tried it yet with Wine? I heard on the news that Blizzard is banning the accounts that use wine
<Myrtti> and you can't get a refund
<Myrtti> and no, I don't know if we (should) have a gaming channel
<jo-erlend> Myrtti, I'm not able to try it because there's an issue with my VGA driver.
<jo-erlend> but if Blizzard bans me, then I'm ready, willing and able to be quite verbose about it. And we have laws in Norway to protect customers. So that doesn't worry me that much. In fact, I'd appreciate the opportunity to make some noise. :)
<Myrtti> http://kotaku.com/5923068/report-blizzard-banning-diablo-iii-players-for-using-linux
<Myrtti> hehe
<Myrtti> anyway
<jo-erlend> Myrtti, it is very important not to spread that rumour. Some users are banned. We do not know that it's exclusive to Linux users.
<Myrtti> jo-erlend: which is why I looked up on how things have progressed since I last heard of it
<Myrtti> (which was a good 14 hours ago or so)
<Myrtti> "Playing the game on Linux, although not officially supported, will not get you banned â cheating will."
<Myrtti> but moving on the actual subject
<Myrtti> [14:38] [freenode] -alis !(alis@services.)- #ubuntu-gaming                     4 :Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GamingTeam/ Join and subscribe on  Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gaming
<jo-erlend> this is the danger of having a community. The players who are using Windows doesn't have a community to complain to. We do. So we see a pattern and it's quickly visible. That doesn't mean Windows users aren't experiencing the same. Need more data! :)
<Myrtti> so a very very quiet channel
<jo-erlend> you think that'll last now that you've introduced me to it? :)
<popey> bazhang, DJones tells me you might be able to help with http://ubuntuone.com/2apS8xscpa5L3JWTW8KUrD
<Myrtti> hi popey, nice of you to remember us :-P
<popey> knowing which button to press
<popey> :p
<Myrtti> popey: lol X-D
<popey> I moved the chinese looking letters down in the language selector so English is at the top, then pressed the button which I think is "apply system wide"
<popey> then that box pops up and I dont know what to press
<Myrtti> jo-erlend: well I don't know how much you and four others manage to make ;-)
<bazhang> popey, that uses simplified characters so I can mostly read it
<popey> \o/
<bazhang> the middle button on the lower part seems to be keep/preserve these settings
<jo-erlend> Myrtti, if they're like me, then the five of us can make about as much noise as the PROC. :)
<jo-erlend> but games are important to a lot of people and if Ubuntu wants to be important to some of them, then we should create a community for gamers.
<popey> bazhang, seems whatever button I press I get an apport dump
 * popey wonders how to change the locale without that dialog
<bazhang> popey, I'll try and get someone from #ubuntu-cn to translate more fully
<popey> oh thanks
<bazhang> <__iamaichao> bazhang: 1,show details 2,keep the shut-down state 3,restart this program    <---- the buttons on the lower section
<Tm_T> Mkaysi: with slight modifications, those two factoids applied (;

<IdleOne> make sure you read that link ubottu sent you.

<tannji> wasnt*
<IdleOne> well it is, but it also has some other requirements
<IdleOne> you can request an unaffiliated cloak in the mean time in #freenode after you register your nick
<tannji> I see, I guess I will do that in the meantime.  at what point did I apply for a membership?  was it implied by signing the code of conduct?
<IdleOne> you haven't actually applied yet. Signing the code of conduct is the first step

<tsimpson> if you guys have so many channels, it may make sense for you to create an admin account (NickServ) and have that account get all the flags
<k1l> that is actually the way we handle that with the german ubuntu channels.
<k1l> it makes thinks alot easier when the team-leaders change
<k1l> *things
<hggdh> tsimpson: I did not know about that (never got to admin that many channels). Will look into it.
<hggdh> any pointer to wher I should look for info on that?
<tsimpson> hggdh: you can always ask the IRCC, it's what the UbuntuIrcCouncil account is for
<tsimpson> you just register an account and share the password (securely) between members of the admin team
<tsimpson> and change the password whenever someone leaves
<hggdh> ircc -- ^^^ please consider yourselves asked
<Pici> hggdh: its up to you to create the account.  Once you do that, just let us know the name and we can grant it access on your channels.
<k1l> hggdh: we did set up an nickserv account and gave them the owner flags of the german channels. the team leaders know the nickserv password and can change the flags with that account (regular op or leader accounts dont have that flags)
<hggdh> yes, it sounds like the way to go. I really do not want to keep pestering the ircc with those requests. Will discuss it with the BR council, and decide on a course
<hggdh> hopefully, this will be the course :-)
<Pici> Well, you might still need to pester us, but then it would only be to add one account to a channel.
<hggdh> heh. Indeed. But it should happen just once, and just one account (of course, there are, IDK, 20+ channels)

<dholbach> hiya
<elfy> hi - is there any reason why meeting bot is missing from -meeting
<dholbach> does anyone know if the meeting bot is up and running?
<elfy> ha
<elfy> too slow there :p
<tsimpson> AlanBell: the join command for meetingology is apparently being truncated rather than split up into multiple message, this means it's missing from a bunch of channels

<niedbalski> Hello ubuntu-irc, I just got my Ubuntu membership and I read that I can now ask for a cloak.  My launchpad profile is here:  https://launchpad.net/~niedbalski
<Unit193> 1. I don't see you in the group 'ubuntumembers', are you sure?  2. You'll have to identify to nickserv in order for any cloak to take effect.
<niedbalski> Unit193, can you check now? just added me.
<Unit193> Yep, #1 has been taken care of.
<Fuchs> he is also identified with nickserv, so that's all fine
<Fuchs> you just need a member of IRCC and a staffie now
<Unit193> Hmm, wasn't a second ago. :3
<Unit193> But, nice.  Now for the pinging of Pici, and Pici, and Pici. :D
<hggdh> I will try
<hggdh> staff: can we have a cloak ubuntu/member/Niedbalski for Niedbalski
 * hggdh wonders about tomaw's availability
<hggdh> why the hell I got niedbalski with an uppercase N?
<hggdh> staff: can we have a cloak ubuntu/member/niedbalski for niedbalski <- corrected
<Fuchs> (minor sidenote: uppercase would be allowed in project cloaks, in contrast to unaffiliated that are lower case indeed. But if you ubuntu people have a rule on that: sure)
<Unit193> Usually Ubuntu cloaks are lower, yes.
<hggdh> (to answer my own question: cuz I typed Nie<tab>)
<hggdh> Fuchs: we tend to lower case, but it is not a hard rule
<hggdh> I will try freenode
<hggdh> niedbalski: now we wait for a freenode staffer to act. Usually not a long wait.
<Unit193> Well this is getting later, so less of them around.  ni ko was the last active one in there.
<hggdh> yes, more than 90 minutes ago
#ubuntu-irc 2015-07-03
<niedbalski> Unit193, hggdh hi guys, seems that the cloak has not been applied yet or do I have to reconnect?
<niko> niedbalski: you are now cloaked, congrats !
<Unit193> Thanks niko.
<Unit193> Congrats, niedbalski.

<B|ack0p> i didnt contribute any projects on ubuntu related subjects but i am a user for many years
<B|ack0p> few months ago i joined to ubuntu translation team
<hggdh> B|ack0p: from the "Member Cloaks" heading: "All Ubuntu members can request an Ubuntu cloak by asking a member of the IRC Council for one. "
<hggdh> B|ack0p: as I said, you must be an Ubuntu member first, then ask for a cloak
