#ubuntu-irc 2008-06-09
<ufuk_k> hello. We have a problem in our local channel #ubuntu-tr. I am one of the persons who is responsible from ubuntu-tr.org. You can check our team from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList
<ufuk_k> We do not have channel privileges as Approved Turkish team
<ufuk_k> Our Project maintainer does now have channel access now. We need to get the channel priviliges
<ufuk_k> I mean he does not have channel access. You can check us https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TurkishTeam
<ufuk_k> Anyone here to help us?
<elkbuntu> im not sure what you're asking
<ufuk_k> We are the Approved Turkish team elkbuntu
<ufuk_k> and now, We do now "own" our channel
<elkbuntu> right. you're on the list since an hour ago, so obviously someone is active who has the power to do this.
<ufuk_k> we do not own right now, I mean
<elkbuntu> what do you mean by 'own' it?
<elkbuntu> raptoid is listed as founder
<ufuk_k> We need to take channel priviliges
<elkbuntu> is raptoid no longer active?
<ufuk_k> Yes, he is not active
<elkbuntu> do you have any contact information for him?
<ufuk_k> And people who get acces from him got our channell
<ufuk_k> No, not right now
<elkbuntu> what do you mean by that. i see alot of people in the access list
<elkbuntu> including you
<ufuk_k> But, our project maintainer and people on locoteamlist does not have founder access
<ufuk_k> we still have lower access
<ufuk_k> And still they can take our access, too
<elkbuntu> someone will always need to have the higher access
<ufuk_k> But this "somoneone" is not in Turkish team
<ufuk_k> I mean the approved team
<ufuk_k> I can give the information and people in approved team
<elkbuntu> are you talking about serdarakkan, fuat_benli, or heartsmagic?
<elkbuntu> oh, or xaroon
<ufuk_k> yes, We need to take prviliges from raptoid and xaroon
<ufuk_k> heartsmagic and serdarakkan is in Turkish team
<ufuk_k> Heartsmagic is one of the project leaders
<elkbuntu> ufuk_k, who is the current loco leader?
<ufuk_k> Eren Kovanci
<ufuk_k> here, ekovanvi
<ufuk_k> sorry * ekovanci
<ekovanci> :)
<elkbuntu> right, so where does heartsmagic fit in?
<ufuk_k> He is also in Turkish team and in the project leader list on http://www.ubuntu-tr.org/index.php?topic=53.0
<ufuk_k> People has taken the channel founder rights (the pasword) from raptoid
<elkbuntu> ah, so they're equal leaders?
<ufuk_k> yes
<ufuk_k> now these people are problem for us
<ufuk_k> Because raptoid is no longer active, we can not get the priviliges
<ufuk_k> So currently, the official Turkish team does not have founder priviliges on #ubuntu-tr channel
<elkbuntu> ok, eren needs to update the loco teams list to have serkan listed as co-contact. then heartsmagic can come and request all this :)
<ufuk_k> Since they got access from raptoid, we can not do anything for our irc channel
<elkbuntu> eren and serkan should probably take consideration of what channel they want listed on that list
<ufuk_k> You can check ubuntu@ubuntu-tr.org. Eren Kovanci is here
<ufuk_k> But I am speaking on his behalf, also you can ask to him.
<elkbuntu> i do need to speak to him. anyone can say they speak on his behalf
<elkbuntu> however since i dont see eren on the irc access list, he'll have to acknowledge serkan as co-contact so serkan can deal with the irc stuff
<ufuk_k> elkbuntu: he ask me to translate, because he doesn't speak well
<elkbuntu> ok, how well does serkan speak?
<ufuk_k> He speaks good,  but right now, Eren Kovanci (ekovanci) has all the rights, so he has the right as project leader
<elkbuntu> i know. however he doesnt actually have irc rights. if he can add serkan to the turkey entry on wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamsList
<ekovanci> I am the project leader in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList
<ekovanci> eren@ubuntu-tr.org / ubuntu@ubuntu-tr.org
<elkbuntu> hello ekovanci. are you understanding what i've said so far? :)
<ufuk_k> I translate
<ufuk_k> dont worry
<ekovanci> Yes
<elkbuntu> is he willing to update the turkey entry on LoCoTeamList?
<ufuk_k> He asks why he needs to update.
<elkbuntu> once he does that, serkan will be able to arrange the changes. he is the only loco contact on the irc access list
<elkbuntu>  /msg chanserv access #ubuntu-tr list
<elkbuntu> unless one of those names is ekovanci in disguise
<ufuk_k> He and Serkan cooperates, Eren Kovanci is enough, Serkan only helps to translate, He does not want to get listed in locoteamlist
<ufuk_k> so right now, think me as Serkan, he is also my friend though :)
<ufuk_k> We are all friends, we dont want to be listed
<ufuk_k> We just want to take our channel's priviliges
<ufuk_k> And in the list, There is Eren Kovanci
<ufuk_k> and he is here, too
<ufuk_k> we can provide any information you want
<ufuk_k> mail domain, adress, anything
<elkbuntu> ufuk_k, see the problem is that i dont know how much eren is understanding of all this.
<ufuk_k> The important thing is here to take the channell priviliges
<ufuk_k> he is saying all the things I write
<ufuk_k> I translate him, he understands all of it
<ufuk_k> He tells me, we just want channel founder rights. You can give it to Eren Kovanci, OR serkan
<ufuk_k> it is not important
<ufuk_k> They are all in Turkish team
<elkbuntu> it is important for protecting the team. see the people you want out of the access list could have come and done this against you. as far as we see, they're trusted to the irc channel. they could pretend to be translating eren. we cannot know how much of this is real.
<ekovanci> Yes, we want channel priviliges as Approved Turkish Team
<ekovanci> and ufuk_k is on our team
<ekovanci>  You can mail to mailto:ubuntu@ubuntu-tr.org
<elkbuntu> ok. i'll see what i can do. this wont be instant since i still need to get a freenode staff to do any changes
<ufuk_k> we know some of the freenode staff
<ufuk_k> but they told us to contact with you, here
<ufuk_k> so we came here..
<elkbuntu> which freenode staff?
<ekovanci> Ufuk_k is authorized to speak on behalf of Ubuntu TR, you can sen mail to mailto:ubuntu@ubuntu-tr.org to confirmation.
<ufuk_k> We talked to a friend of serkan, AndrewB
<ufuk_k> I mean he answered and helped us in #freenode
<ufuk_k> We are asking for channel founder priviliges, so we edit the channel access list and give priviliges to people choosen by Turkish Team.
<elkbuntu> he's not a staffer unfortunately
<ufuk_k> Do we need freenode staffer right now? I mean someone from ubuntu staff can do this as far as I know.
<elkbuntu> ok, it goes like this... ubuntu irc contacts have to contact freenode staff to get it done. we dont have any superpowers
<ufuk_k> Ah, ok. I see.
<ekovanci> :)
<ufuk_k> so, any news elkbuntu?
<elkbuntu> no, staffers are not easy to find at this time unfortunately
<ufuk_k> do you want us to search?
<ufuk_k> then ask him contact to you?
<elkbuntu> you can search yes. i am doing several things at once so i havent done a big search for a staffer yet
<ufuk_k> it is 5:15 am here, we just want to to it
<ufuk_k> we are waiting here
<elkbuntu> whoa, who took *everyone* off the list, ekovanci?
<ufuk_k> elkbuntu: Udontknow came to channel, I think they re-register it
<elkbuntu> ah. right. dont forget to have them help you add heartsmagic, freenode/staff/* back, that helps your people if you or other ops are not around and it gets hit by bad people.
<elkbuntu> it means freenode staff will help right away, without asking permission from an op who isnt there to be asked anyway
<ufuk_k> ok, really thank you
<elkbuntu> i'd suggest making heartsmagic equal with ekovanci, if he's the main irc person
<ufuk_k> elkbuntu, thank you a lot for helping and waiting with us.
<elkbuntu> no problem

#ubuntu-irc 2008-06-10
<leftyfb> I would like to request an ubuntu cloak since becoming a member
<jussi01> leftyfb: have you set up your nick?
<Ekushey> ahhh :)
<Ekushey> i finally became an ubuntu member :)
<Pici> Yay, congrats
<jpds> Ekushey: woohoo! congrats
<Ekushey> thanks guys :)
<jpds> so you'll be wanting your new claok now? :)
<Myrtti> congrats
<Ekushey> jpds, of coarse :)
<Ekushey> Myrtti, thank you :)
<jpds> Ekushey: best ask PriceChild nicely
<Ekushey> yeah he helped me with the unaffialated cloak
<Pici> Ekushey: Did you get added to the Ubuntu members team on LP yet?
<Ekushey> Pici, no... i need to join the group, right?
<Myrtti> you'll be joined into it
<Ekushey> oh ok
<Ekushey> great
<Pici> Ekushey: No, your regional board needs to get you added to that before you can get any of the other member perks
<Pici> It took like two days for me.
<Myrtti> @schedule
<ubottu> Myrtti: Schedule for Etc/UTC: Current meeting: Asia and Oceania Ubuntu Membership Approval Board | 10 Jun 15:00: Server Team | 11 Jun 06:00: Platform Team | 11 Jun 17:00: QA Team | 12 Jun 13:00: Desktop Team
<Myrtti> cool
<Ekushey> no problem, i can wait
<Pici> ooh, and it looks like my @ubuntu.com forward is working now
<Myrtti> Ekushey: if you see someone saying that the cloaks are given in -ops, would you please correct them and ask them to come here instead
<jpds> Pici: yeah, they fixedd the script about a week ago
<Ekushey> Myrtti, sure
<Myrtti> Ekushey: after the Americas meeting people were crowding in -ops which isn't the correct place
<Myrtti> I've been trying to track the person giving the wrong information but no luck :-<
<Ekushey> i'll ask PriceChild... he helped me last time
<Ekushey> no logs?
<Myrtti> no logs
<Myrtti> they just got the idea to join #ubuntu-ops from *somewhere*
<Myrtti> Gaia knows from where
<jpds> https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-cloaks does say here
<Pici> Yep, I checked the wiki too
<leftyfb> hey
<leftyfb> sorry bout that, got tired and fell asleep last inght
<Pici> hey
<leftyfb> night
<leftyfb> my nick is setup, my LP page is setup, i'm part of the ubuntu members group on LP
<Pici> Well, we only have one person around today that can take care of cloaking, and he doesnt seem to be around right now.
<leftyfb> Pici: so I should just wait? Is is PriceChild who does the cloaking?
<Pici> leftyfb: yep
<Ekushey> leftyfb, PriceChild is away now, so you'll have to wait
<leftyfb> ok
<jpds> hmm, plenty of hilights today
<Pici> jpds: you have PriceChild on your hilight list?
<jpds> Pici: ...for him
<Pici> jpds: oh
<Ekushey> anyone uses Konversation here?
<jussi01> Ekushey: Idont anymore, but I have previously? whats up?
<Ekushey> jussi01, i was just wondering if i could use a spell checker on konversation
<jussi01> Ekushey: I do believe so, but best to ask in #kubuntu
<Ekushey> ok, thanks
 * PriceChild has caught up with two cloak requests in this channel.
<PriceChild> FYI - When people come in asking for one, its helpful if they leave their launchpad account url here for me to find. If they don't have an unaffiliated cloak, then get them to check they have a grouped nick and email set.
<Myrtti> cookie crumbs for PriceChild
<PriceChild> Myrtti: I hope they're not ginger :D
<Myrtti> double chocolate
<PriceChild> mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
<Myrtti> /me huggles rhkfin
<rhkfin> :)
<Myrtti> rhkfin: did you figure out what the IRC cloak means?
<Myrtti> :-P
<rhkfin> Yes, more or less, I guess it just looks cool - but is there any actual benefit? (btw there should be some guide for new ubuntu members.. Which LP groups to join, howto get cloak etc.. )
<pleia2> rhkfin: it's all on the wiki
<pleia2> some people like cloaks so people can't see their hostname (privacy concerns)
<PriceChild> Myrtti: fail
<Myrtti> or just to show off :-P
<pleia2> on freenode it's mostly just a nice way to identify the project you're with
<pleia2> or show off :P
<Pici> rhkfin: You'll be joined to the ubuntu members lp group when your regional board members finish their tasks (or something)
<Myrtti> PriceChild: where did I fail now ;-)
 * pleia2 has considered uncloaking because her hostname is sowickedcool
<Myrtti> I've got myrtti@myrtti.fi
<Myrtti> boring.
<rhkfin> Pici: ok, thanks
<Pici> Mines dyn.optonline.something.boring.com
<Myrtti> I'm more proud of my ubuntuism than my vanity domain
<PriceChild> Oh wait no... I thought we were in -ops, I fail.
<pleia2> I've got your.worshipfulness.princessleia.com \o/
<Pici> woo
<pleia2> which is, you know, taking vanity domains to an absurd extreme ;)
<Pici> Nah, thats neat
<pugpuppy> hi
<pugpuppy> just wanted to start contributing to Ubuntu development
<pugpuppy> gathered that I have to start by resolving bugs and all that from the wiki
<ompaul> pugpuppy, so go to #ubuntu-bugs and read launchpad.net and get an account there
<pugpuppy> great thanks a lot
#ubuntu-irc 2008-06-11
<liassist> hello, i was told to come to this channel to upgrade to a staffer (i have read "code of conduct")
<Ekushey> liassist, PriceChild is the person to talk to :)
<PriceChild> liassist: to upgrade to a staffer?
<Pici> liassist: 'upgrade to a staffer'?
<PriceChild> liassist: do you mean talk to a staffer to get a cloak?
<liassist> no to become a staffer
<PriceChild> what kind of staffer? do you mean channel operator?
<liassist> yes
<PriceChild> Where?
<liassist> #ubuntu
<PriceChild> liassist: when we need new ops we usually pick from the helpers in the channel
<PriceChild> liassist: you don't need ops to be useful in a channel, giving support, helping manage it etc.
<liassist> well, ive been helpin scince 2-years but ive been changing my nick sometimes
<PriceChild> liassist: Infact I can't remember the last time I used my operator access in #ubuntu, which could be a good or bad things depending on how you look at it.
<liassist> yes i know but people seem to listen well this way
<Pici> What do you mean?
<liassist> well, ive been active on the ubuntu commutnity now iam even a ubunteros and i know someone told me to become a channel op
<liassist> sir, if you are busy you can tell me ill leave
<Pici> I'm not telling you to leave, but rather I'll reiterate what PriceChild has already said:  when we need new ops we usually pick from the helpers in the channel.
<liassist> ok so thankx i was really geting anxious
<Pici> Just be helpful and be yourself in #ubuntu :)
<liassist> well ok
<emonkey> strange ... ^^
<emonkey> Maybe there are other habits on others IRCs where he is on
<emonkey> doesn't matter anyway
<Myrtti> I've most certainly been on IRC way too long
<Ekushey> hey Myrtti
<Myrtti> hi Ekushey
<Ekushey> just wanted to say hello
<Myrtti> :-)
<Ekushey> :)
 * Myrtti considers a new hackergotchi
<jpds> flaccid-: Kubuntu and Ubuntu share the same IRC team ;-)
<flaccid-> jpds, not really
<flaccid-> its a matter of participation and availability
<flaccid-> i've come here and #ubuntu-ops for health, rarely much success
<flaccid-> health=help
<jpds> well, we can't be around all the time..
<flaccid-> i know that
<flaccid-> i've had responses from ubuntu people saying they can't help
<jpds> ah ,yes
<flaccid-> which makes me think, instead of this generic nature, why not #kubuntu-ops ?
<jussi01> flaccid-: because all the kubuntu ops are in #ubuntu.ops
<jussi01> sorry, #ubuntu-ops
<Ekushey> [20:14] [Kick] You have been kicked from channel #kubuntu-ops by ChanServ (Invite only channel).
<Hobbsee> flaccid-: the problem is the lack of kubuntu ops at certain times.  not where they might be situated.
 * emonkey is op on the german speaking kubuntu channels, should I be in some #*ubuntu-ops channel?
<jussi01> emonkey: no
<Hobbsee> emonkey: no, see /topic :)
<jussi01> emonkey: thats what this channel is for
<emonkey> very good
<emonkey> then is everything in order :)
<flaccid-> well maybe i can help with that ?
<jussi01> flaccid-: help with what?
<flaccid-> the lack of operators
 * Hobbsee was waiting for that.
 * flaccid- was waiting for Hobbsee to say that...
<flaccid-> :)
<Hobbsee> so then, you should know my answer without me telling you, right?
<flaccid-> Hobbsee, i've never asked out of nearly 4 years of helping
<flaccid-> how many more years does it need to be?
<Myrtti> I've noted that no-one who asks for it, gets
<Hobbsee> flaccid-: yeah, but it's more the fact that every once in a while you get banned from #kubuntu yourself, for breaking the rules, which is more of a problem....
<flaccid-> thats questionable Hobbsee
<flaccid-> the truth is that i don't wont ops, but me and some others are the ones that cop it when ops are not around..
<flaccid-> and i've proven myself well enough
<jussi01> flaccid-: there is an ops trigger for when we arent around/looking
<flaccid-> i know that.
<Hobbsee> flaccid-: i agree, that finding more ops is a good idea.
<flaccid-> Hobbsee, so besides my questionable past, what is stopping me from becoming one of these people?
<Hobbsee> and it would be a good idea to get a shortlist of those, so it can be voted on
<jpds> flaccid-: I also that more ops would be nice, however some... say that we have too many..
<flaccid-> well besides a handful of 'good' ops, i rarely see the others being active in the channel in question
<flaccid-> thats some basic feedback..
<jussi01> flaccid-: how often do you actually use !ops and no one is around?
<flaccid-> i've dont it a few times
<jussi01> and no response?
<flaccid-> i wouldn't say the lack of response if frequent. so you have a good point.
<flaccid-> but once i again i didn't ask for ops. someone expressed that there is a lack of ops...
<flaccid-> quite different..
<Hobbsee> flaccid-: the evidence that the past is actually past, and would not replicate itself at any point in the future.
<flaccid-> Hobbsee, sorry?
<flaccid-> nobody can predict human behaviour ?
<flaccid-> i don't need ops, but i wouldn't mind some backup without having to trigger !ops ...
<flaccid-> thats the point.
<flaccid-> prevention is better than cure :)
<flaccid-> Hobbsee, how would you feel about a trial period?
<Hobbsee> flaccid-: i'd have to think about that
<flaccid-> np
<flaccid-> let me just express once again, that this is not for me. i just don't want to have to be frustrated and leave because of some users. ops shouldn't have to be triggered imho to moderate...
 * Hobbsee wonders why ops should not have to be triggered.
<Hobbsee> after all, not everyone spends all the time on irc, especially in a single channel
<flaccid-> because the response sometimes can be a while
<flaccid-> i ack your point and put it to rest
<flaccid-> may i ask, is there any encouragement for one like myself who is a dominant helper ?
<Hobbsee> encouragement?
<flaccid-> yes
<flaccid-> humans live for a feeling of importance
<jussi01> !helpersnack
<ubottu> Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!
<jussi01> :)
<flaccid-> something like that is better than nothing...
<flaccid-> i never even knew about that thanks jussi01  :)
<Hobbsee> flaccid-: write a script to remind yourself of how helpful you are, ifyou like.
<Hobbsee> everyone deserves it, so...
<flaccid-> everyone ?
<flaccid-> why would you say that?
<Hobbsee> all the helpers, all the ops, all the people who offer support, all the people who put ubuntu together, all the people who otherwise contribute to ubuntu...
<flaccid-> thats a massive generalisation considering im the one being judged
<flaccid-> all these people and me are certainly not equal
<Myrtti> "being an administrator shouldn't be a big deal"
<Myrtti> - and it isn't.
<flaccid-> exactly and thats pretty far from my point
<jpds> flaccid-: but we're all what make Ubuntu special.
<Myrtti> exactly
<flaccid-> another generalisation
<flaccid-> define special ?
<Myrtti> speshul
<flaccid-> hehe
 * Myrtti snugglewuggles everyone
<flaccid-> the good ol sugar down strategy, i can appreciate that
<flaccid-> wont' work on me but :)
<Myrtti> it's just me
<Myrtti> pay no attention :-P
<flaccid-> and thats your right for sure
 * Myrtti gives jpds a lollipop
 * jpds gives Myrtti and flaccid- a hug
<flaccid-> thanks i appreciate it
<flaccid-> its rare i get that around here :)
<jpds> flaccid-: oh... we always have hugs in #ubuntu-motu for example
<flaccid-> ah probably didn't go there because its not 'k'
<flaccid-> if i knew thats where the hugs were at...
<jpds> flaccid-: you wouldn't have seen http://www.jonobacon.org/?p=1188 by any chance?
 * Myrtti thinks kubuntu is just another flavor of "general" ubuntu
<Myrtti> HUGS ARE GREAT â¥
 * jussi01 hugs Myrtti
<flaccid-> jpds, unfortunately thats far from what i get.
<jussi01> Myrtti: OH noes!!! I didnt hug you when I was there!!!
<Myrtti> :-O
<Myrtti> TRUE!
<jpds> flaccid-: awww.. :(
<flaccid-> we are the soldiers in the front line
 * Myrtti feels oddly... deprived
<flaccid-> i can understand that we mean nothing to the superiors...
<Myrtti> harumph
<Myrtti> flaccid-: come here and I'll hug?
<Myrtti> =^___^=
<flaccid-> hehe
<flaccid-> im FOSS i can't afford a plane ticket
<flaccid-> i just think the ubuntu 'team' needs to find a way to pay recognition to the people that have shown dedicated help
<flaccid-> having to ask is a bit ridiculous
<jpds> flaccid-: heh, I only exactly how that feels, I couldn't get the money to buy a passport to go to the last dev summit
<flaccid-> should i have joined the ubuntu brainstorm and got a green tick for free?
<Ekushey> Myrtti, ping
<Myrtti> pong
<Ekushey> Myrtti, @ubuntu.com alias is setup automatically, or do i need to do anything?
<Myrtti> mine is working a-ok
<Ekushey> i was added to the LP ~ubuntumembers team today and my alias isn't working yet
<Myrtti> and I did nothing to make them work
<Myrtti> they fixed the script that does the aliases few days ago
<Myrtti> hm, it might take a couple of days, I'm told
<Ekushey> ok, i'll wait for 2 days and see what happens
<Ekushey> thanks, Myrtti

<Nafallo> Philip5: ping
<Philip5> Nafallo: pong
<Nafallo> Philip5: du sag att jag sparkade ut goteborg?
<Philip5> sÃ¥g att du sparkade ut nÃ¥gon kille men fÃ¶ljde inte riktigt bakgrunden fÃ¶rutom att han bara snackade annat
<Nafallo> Philip5: gothenburg med nytt namn. han har senaste veckorna bara trollat politik.
<Philip5> aha, det Ã¤r samma snubbe?
<Philip5> ok dÃ¥ hÃ¤nger jag med
<Philip5> sÃ¥g vad han skrev innan du kickade honom
<Nafallo> japp. blev lite val mycket politik till slut... kanns som att vi inte borde tillata den biten allt for mycket. speciellt inte som det verkar som regeringen driver igenom en del saker till slut :-)
<Philip5> nÃ¤ och det Ã¤r ett helt onÃ¶digt Ã¤mne i en ubuntukanal
<Philip5> som gjort att skapa osÃ¤mja
<Nafallo> bra. skont att veta att vi ar pa samma niva :-)
<Philip5> finns andra stÃ¤llen att snacka sÃ¥nt pÃ¥ i sÃ¥ fall
<Nafallo> precis :-)
<Philip5> snackar man offtopic sÃ¥ tycker jag det fÃ¥r vara lite allmÃ¤nna nerdgrejer eller vÃ¤der och vind
<Philip5> typ inte sÃ¥nt som Ã¤r som gjort att skapa tjaffs
<Nafallo> vi ar snalla nog som det ar hur som... jag tanker bara aggera pa det om det gar till overdrift, som idag :-)
<Philip5> samma hÃ¤r

<Philip5> EAG kan sÃ¤kert hÃ¥lla ordning pÃ¥ folk men kanske inte har sÃ¥ mycket linuxkunnande om nu det ska vara ett krav
<Nafallo> einand kan iofs vara ratt envis ibland :-P
<Nafallo> tror iofs vi kan se om vi behover fylla pa forst.
<Philip5> funkar det inte sÃ¥ fÃ¥r man vÃ¤l gÃ¶ra en Ã¤ndring pÃ¥ det om nÃ¥gon av dem skulle misskÃ¶ta sig

<Myrtti> Hi HardDisk :-P
<HardDisk> good morning, I was wondering about having channel op status for #ubuntu-eg, I already am in the process of applying for ubuntu-membership on the 17th for EMEA and the current op of #ubuntu-eg has not been active for over 3 months (not joined), nor has his LoCo status.
<HardDisk> hehe hi :)
<HardDisk> stalking me I see :)
<Myrtti> nope, I'm an op of #ubuntu-fi so I've been here for loooooong loooong time
<Myrtti> :-)
<HardDisk> alrighty, well I made my comment, and hope to hear some positive feedback.
<Myrtti> ohmy
<Myrtti> that channel access list is sad beyond belief
<HardDisk> yes I know, because the LoCo leader hasn't made any effort.
<HardDisk> Hopefully in due time with my work http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SamAzab I will even apply to take over as LoCo leader.
<HardDisk> even mentioned are my irc support at #ubuntu and I have ops to back this claim such as Jack_Sparrow
<HardDisk> and even started a small blog :) http://sambuntu.blogspot.com
<Myrtti> that's cool, when you're approved you can put it to planet ubuntu like I did the day before yesterday :-)
<HardDisk> so effort is being made.  Also hopefully I will have gathered some people to do a proper Install fest.
<HardDisk> yea, I love reading Planet ubuntu, to be honest one of my favorite people brandonperry (just made a new member) writes nice articles.
<HardDisk> I would write in Arabic, but I doubt that anyone would understand it :) so I will leave that part to my personal blog
<HardDisk> it's 8:40am here, I know time zone differences is annoying, so I will just idle here while I prepare to go finish some work and might get a reply.
<Myrtti> hehe
<Myrtti> same timezone than me then
<Myrtti> forgot that totally
<HardDisk> nice meeting you btw :)
<Myrtti> I just read your wiki page and had a glance of your blog
<Myrtti> nice work
<HardDisk> small things, nothing big, I'm not a linux guru
<HardDisk> but I do what I can
<Myrtti> that's how I started, you seem to have found some intresting stuff
<HardDisk> right now I'm just doing some arabic translation on launchpad for Blueman and might continue other work I left off.
<Myrtti> which reminds me that I should blog about few findings of my own
<HardDisk> I try to keep my blog personalized, you know what I mean? nothing fancy for the intermediate ubuntu user.
<HardDisk> I keep things informal and fun a bit for the noobie
<Myrtti> yeah
<Myrtti> you know, this might just be the incentive I needed to finish my blog post about bash, rsync, tar, split
<HardDisk> nice
<Myrtti> It's been on draft stage for over six months >___<
<HardDisk> I'd definitely read the bash one
<Myrtti> well basically it's all about the one thing, my backup system
<HardDisk> oh and tar, you reminded me I will write a blog about file compressions good idea :)
<HardDisk> ah
<HardDisk> well wouldn't sbackup for example be easier?
<Myrtti> 1.2G	/home/backup/backup-latest-desktop.tar.bz2.00
<Myrtti> 2008-06-10_00:33:17 desktop packed 2008-06-09 laptop not packed
<HardDisk> since that's what it is basically, a frontend to rsync
<HardDisk> have you tried sbackup?
<HardDisk> or because your method is CLI
<Myrtti> nope, I didn't know it was there when I drafted my first outlines of the script I use three years ago :-)
<HardDisk> ah you see
<HardDisk> someone beat you to it :)
<Myrtti> yep
<HardDisk> it's a really nice application too, very easy and customizable
<HardDisk> I use that as well as remastersys
<HardDisk> remastersys if you haven't heard of it, you can create your own ubuntu bootable from your current installation.
<Myrtti> but now I'be got a script that backups my home dirs on three machines, excluding stuff I don't like to be backupped (music, video, virtual machines (those are backupped differently)) etc.
<HardDisk> so after I install all my apps etc I can make either a redistributable dvd with the installed updated apps and create a dvd that is basically a livecd version of my installation including /home/ dir
<Myrtti> cool
<HardDisk> actually it's supported by Linux Mint
<HardDisk> I made a few "update" ubuntu dvd's that way so I don't have to download updates from the net, especially to people's computers where they don't have fast DSL (256kbps)
<HardDisk> or if I dont want to carry my portable HD with 30GB of mirrored repositories
<HardDisk> now I talked too much, the people incharge won't see my request :/
<HardDisk> all your fault!! :D
<Myrtti> hehe
<Myrtti> they'll have their backlogs
<Myrtti> if not, I'll poke them
<HardDisk> thanks Myrtti :)
<HardDisk> btw..since the meeting is on 17th 18:00UTC I think it was, IF you want to support me for membership I'd appreciate it :D
<Myrtti> PriceChild: ^ would you mind checking that the EMEA meeting is added to the fridge calendar since it apparently isn't right now, thanks.
<HardDisk> no pressure...
<Myrtti> hrmhmp
<Myrtti> I rely on these things to the fridge.ubuntu.com calendar
<Myrtti> which seems to be out of date on EMEA meeting, again.
<Myrtti> *grumble*
<HardDisk> I forgot the nick that told me but it was the guy who is actually arranging/head of it..
<HardDisk> he told me about it, so that's why I applied yesterday to be able to come to the 17th meeting
<Myrtti> Seveas...
<HardDisk> that's it
<HardDisk> Seveas
<Myrtti> would you mind poking him about it too
<HardDisk> tell him what exactly?
<Myrtti> oh, I think I'll poke him myself
<Myrtti> since I poked about the exact same thing last week
<Myrtti> well, this week actually
<HardDisk> oh ok
<Myrtti> there
<HardDisk> I'll leave him a message on the channel
<Myrtti> I msg'd him already
<HardDisk> ok
<HardDisk> I don't like to pm ops :) not polite.
<Myrtti> heheh
<HardDisk> thanks btw
<Myrtti> np
<HardDisk> ok back to my work
<HardDisk> ttyl
<Myrtti> :-)
<HardDisk> break time :)
<HardDisk> phew...
<HardDisk> please check the room Myrtti if you have op status
<HardDisk> bullgard, tenX and mohadib
<Myrtti> hum, #ubuntu?
<HardDisk> yea just keep an eye out.
<bangky_> hi guys, anyone free to answer a query?
<elkbuntu> do you mean question or /query?
<bangky_> umm.. question :)
<elkbuntu> ask away
<bangky_> thanks :) was wondering whether the ubuntu-sg channel still exists?
<stdin> looks like the channel is still registered but empty
<stdin> and the contact hasn't been seen in a year
<bangky_> yep, that's appears to be the case :)
<stdin> and seeing as the contact is the only one on the access list, I'd say it's dead
<bangky_> stdin: :(
<HardDisk> I wonder if any channel op is available and has read my backlog request, if not I am willing to repeat what I request.
<jrib> HardDisk: better to repeat it instead of making that statement :)
<HardDisk> :)
<HardDisk> ok
<HardDisk> good morning, I was wondering about having channel op status for #ubuntu-eg, I already am in the process of applying for ubuntu-membership on the 17th for EMEA and the current op of #ubuntu-eg has not been active for over 3 months (not joined), nor has his LoCo status.Hopefully in due time with my work http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SamAzab I will even apply to take over as LoCo leader.

 * elkbuntu bops HardDisk over the head
<HardDisk> haha sorry!
<elkbuntu> not a problem. i may have let it go on so that any egyptians who read the meeting logs find out ;)
<HardDisk> no problem
<HardDisk> mafeesh moshkila
<HardDisk> that's another word to learn for the day, ok no more :)
<HardDisk> well two words..
<elkbuntu> :)
<meisok> hi there, I am now an Ubuntu member (https://launchpad.net/~meisok), can someone please give me an "ubuntu/member/meisok" cloak? Thank you.

<Myrtti> jolly good

<jpds> welcome back stdin
<stdin> wifi is such a fickle creature :/
<meisok> done!! thanks!! ;)
<twax> hi
<twax> is this the right place to ask about the community guidelines and related topics?
<Nafallo> no.
<Nafallo> not sure where either, but #ubuntu could probably guide you.
<PriceChild> twax: which guidelines/topics?
<twax> does the use of a full stop after your single "no" mean something like "dont dare to ask further"?
<Nafallo> no. it just means that this is not the correct channel for discussing the CoC :-)
<twax> and #ubuntu seems to be a channel about technical questions rather than a place to talk to members of the irc concil
<Nafallo> oh. this is the IRC Council's channel. guess it's not the CoC you want to discuss then :-)
<twax> s/concil/council/
<twax> Nafallo: are you a random chatter or somebody who is in the council?
<Nafallo> I'm an op at another Ubuntu channel. not in the council.
<PriceChild> twax: what's the question you want to ask?
<twax> Nafallo: i would appreciate it then when you leave the answers to those people who know what they are talking about
<twax> PriceChild: hang on a moment till the noise settles
<Nafallo> they idle here. just ask :-)
<elkbuntu> twax, you have not actually asked any question, only if you can ask a question. it's best if you ask it so we *know* where it fits rather than leaving us to *guess*
<twax> more noise. more moments to wait
<elkbuntu> and please, dont insult people with ubuntu/member/$nickname cloaks. they generally *do* know what they're talking about.
<twax> and i am not going into details here on this channel after the weird attitude of Nafallo and elkbuntu
<elkbuntu> that's a free 'community guideline' tip.
<twax> i am not going for more noise which will most likely lead to disharmony
<elkbuntu> twax, i am the irc council. care to be less rude and waste less of my time?
<twax> elkbuntu: you are a person. the council seems to be a group of people. i would like to talk to an alternative member. you seem not appropriate for my problem
<elkbuntu> PriceChild, is also one. but since you've now lost your window of opportunity to talk to me, since i need to go do stuff post haste, you're now back to a singular. sorry.
<twax> yeah, you better leave this to other people, thank you
<twax> problem is when you are supposed to complain to a barking dog about barking dogs and try to stay peaceful the same time. this can hardly work out for a new user
<twax> when i receive more abuse while i try to report abuse, then i slowly get the feeling it requires more powerful weapons to sharpen this
<Nafallo> twax: sorry about my hard no. I translated 'community guidelines' to the 'code of conduct' in my brain. feel free to ask your question :-).
<twax> Nafallo: your "no" was not hard. the noise you created was just ... irritating
<twax> and yes, i know it would be worse on #ubuntu with 800 losers
<Nafallo> twax: well. you are the one creating noise at the moment... what was the question again? :-)
<twax> dude. that people who join a channel to receive some form of support most likely creates some noise for those who idle there without positive intentions
<twax> maybe you just part?
<Nafallo> not likely.
 * jussi01 hugs Nafallo
<twax> since you have a shiny cloak you could spend your time with development related tasks
<twax> instead of making fun of grumpy users
<twax> i find that more ... constructive
<Nafallo> twax: I've been doing that since 4.10...
<twax> Nafallo: today matters. get busy, please.
<Nafallo> twax: also. the cloaks are for ubuntu members. you can be one of those by any contribution :-)
<twax> no, really. you can offer payment and i wont accept such a cloak
<Nafallo> twax: no one makes you :-)
<twax> to be unaffiliated is the way to go. less risks to be associated with people you cant respect
<twax> at least i learn about the value of the community guidelines indirectly :)
<twax> harder this way, but it seems to work
<Nafallo> twax: I'm an individual even if I'm part of Ubuntu.
<twax> you signed a piece of paper i guess
<twax> like some other people who enjoy being abusive pricks
<Nafallo> you are clearly out of focus for that discussion :-)
<twax> but you are doing whatever you do "since 4.10" so you obviously make the right "people" happy
<Nafallo> and no. I cryptographically signed a text on launchpad ;-)
<Nafallo> nope. I'm not.
<Nafallo> I'm only maintaining a single application.
<twax> but you must be pretty damn proud of it when you have to mention that you "develop" since 4.10
<Nafallo> twax: I'm proud of being part of this community since before the first version came out indeed :-)
<twax> now i learned something about the value of the community guidelines _and_ i turned amused from being grumpy. thats not bad
<Nafallo> yay! success for me then :-)
<Nafallo> I tend to like amused people better.
<twax> success would imply that you had a plan. which would be very, very silly of you to claim
<jussi01> twax: is there something we can help you with?
<twax> cause from my point of view it looks like an ubuntu developer is trolling a user on the channel where people usually receive support with irc council related problems
<twax> jussi01: hang on a moment. let me check first who you are inside this community before i run into the next "successor"
<jussi01> twax: this is the international IRC operators channel for IRC problems withing the international channels - for the main channels, #ubuntu-ops is the place.
<twax> no i dont think #ubuntu-ops is the right place
<twax> at least not when i read the wiki right
<jussi01> twax: you came here with an issue - was it within the intenational (loco) channels, or within the main channels #ubuntu, #kubuntu etc?
<twax> jussi01: i need a bit more time to lookup some data
<twax> i think i found a nice person who i can contact :)
<twax> have a fantastic day you all
<johanbr> So in the end he made all this noise over... nothing?
<Nafallo> japp. stammer bra :-P

<emgent> hello
<emgent> someone can join ubottu in #rapache-devel ?
<Myrtti> the question would be "why it should?"
<emgent> rapache is allocated in launchpad, i only ask if it`s possible have ubottu in rapache room.
<Myrtti> jussi01: ^
<jussi01> emgent: we dont put ubottu into a lot of channels because she is enormously overloaded. However you can grab the source from LP and run your own if you care to.
<emgent> ok thanks
<jussi01> emgent: or ping nalioth to ask for the status of ubot3

<jussi01> ahh, yes you are

<ubottu> takdir: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks

<kalon33> is there an IRC concil member here ?
<kalon33> *council
<kalon33> plese
<kalon33> *please
<kalon33> (sorry !)
<kalon33> bcurtiswx: could you help me registering an Ubuntu IRC cloak please ?
<nalioth> kalon33: it's best to just make your request  :)
<bcurtiswx> im not an IRC council Member, sorry
<bcurtiswx> but there is someone here who can help you one your request is made ;-)
<nalioth> kalon33: do you have a launchpad page?
<kalon33> sorry nalioth, I'm not quite familiar with this ^^
<kalon33> yep
<kalon33> ~kalon33
<kalon33> I'm an Ubuntu member
<kalon33> bcurtiswx: thanks for helping me :)
<kalon33> do you need some more info nalioth ?
<nalioth> kalon33: /whois kalon33
<kalon33> thanks nalioth :)
<nalioth> any time  :)
<kalon33> now, my nickname is definitely reserved to me ? Which are other avantages of this ?
<kalon33> (sorry, I don't know more about IRC apart common commands and functions)
<nalioth> so long as you use it once every 60 days, it'll stay reserved for you
<nalioth> Want to see if someone is identified to services at a glance?  http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#spoofing kalon33
<nalioth> the URL i just posted is one good reason
<bcurtiswx> kalon33: its reserved to you (as long as you don't share your login information).  This means you will always have the same name (you don't risk someone stealing it).  Not much "advantages" after that I don't imagine.  If you are chanop then CHANSERV will know who you are and auto-op you (as long as the channel is set to autoop)
<bcurtiswx> i'm not exactly sure what the rules say here, but if you need an IRCop for troubles in a channel you can use /wallops <message>
<kalon33> thanks to both of you nalioth and bcurtiswx :)
<bcurtiswx> you are welcome :)

<East_Coast_Girl> hello :)
<nhandler> Hello East_Coast_Girl, can I help you with something?
<East_Coast_Girl> Ummm yeah
<East_Coast_Girl> Hello there! Right now, I am a very confused newb about this ... I have 2 VIA Raid cards in my system (VT6410) running Ubuntu 10.04. Disk Utility DOES see them using the pata_via driver but the hard drives attached to them aren't showing up. How do I set the cards up so that the drives are seen? I really don't want an actual RAID, I just want the JBOD setting. All the drives are ATA drives (not SATA) with new cables if that
<East_Coast_Girl> helps. I have the ad.4, ataraid.4, and ar.4 files. Where do I put these files?
<East_Coast_Girl> I've tried basically everything I can think of to get these things to work including switching around jumpers, running some RAID discovery tools all to no avail. I need some serious hand holding at this point please or at least pointed to a really good tutorial that I can follow.
<nhandler> East_Coast_Girl: Try #ubuntu for support
<East_Coast_Girl> sorr/me facepalm
<East_Coast_Girl> d'oh ! Of course thanks  :)

<nhandler> Hey foxbuntu
<foxbuntu> nhandler, hey. Just got a memo stating my ubuntu member cloak was removed because I am no longer a member? What happened?
#ubuntu-irc 2011-06-15
<nhandler> foxbuntu: You need to be a member of ~ubuntumembers on Launchpad to have an ubuntu cloak, and you let your membership lapse
<foxbuntu> nhandler, I must have missed the email about it
<foxbuntu> do I just need to join the group?
<nhandler> foxbuntu: Have a link to your LP profile handy?
<foxbuntu> nhandler, https://launchpad.net/~nickj-fox
<nhandler> foxbuntu: Actually, I'd need to talk to popey before re-adding you. It doesn't look like you expired, instead, your membership was deactivated for some reason
<foxbuntu> nhandler, really?
<foxbuntu> nhandler, Oh, I wonder if it happened when my gmail account was compromised awhile back
<foxbuntu> my LP account was disabled while I resolved that
<nhandler> foxbuntu: That might have something to do with it
<nhandler> foxbuntu: I'll try and talk to him and get back to you. We need to sort out the Ubuntu Membership before we can do anything about the cloak
<foxbuntu> nhandler, agreed
<foxbuntu> nhandler, well thanks.
<nhandler> foxbuntu: You are welcome. Sorry about all of this.
<foxbuntu> nhandler, no problem. just was worried that I somehow got the boot. Not sure what I did to cause such a thing
<foxbuntu> nhandler, Unless you ask Daviey ;)
<Daviey> foxbuntu: o/

<IdleOne> I thought toilet papering his house would be enough
<foxbuntu> naw
<foxbuntu> im immune to that
<Daviey> I find it's much better to hack his gmail account and send spam to Launchpad.
<IdleOne> haha
<foxbuntu> Daviey, that did work quite well...
<Daviey> :)
<foxbuntu> but I did manage to return from it
<Daviey> foxbuntu: that was tgm4883 contribution, so we should have expected it to be half measures.

<Daemeon> Good morning from south Texas, USA
<Daemeon> I just downloaded the 11.04 Live CD for Ubuntu last night, and due to certain hardware issues I'm having at the moment, I cannot use my cd burner. I used the netbootin prog to set me up with a bootable USB, but when I try to install via said USB, my system either A) hangs up, or B), kicks me out of the GUI setup interface and displays a rather verbose authentication failure error
<vish> Daemeon:  #ubuntu-irc isn't a technical support channel. Perhaps you're looking for #ubuntu?
<Daemeon> Ah. My misunderstanding. Thank you.
<vish> ..and yea, /me just lazy â¦ just copy-pasted rww's earlier text :D
<m4v> there's a !support factoid, even though it is not explicit about u-irc not being a support channel
<vish> yup..
<nhandler> popey: Alright. That sounds like it was from the period where he had his account deactivated due to the email being compromised. I'm going to re-add him.

<statik> Hi! I'd like to drop my outdated launchpad cloak and get an ubuntu member cloak instead. My launchpad profile is https://launchpad.net/~statik
<nhandler> statik: I'd be glad to help with the cloak change as soon as one of the Ubuntu Group Contacts approves it
<statik> nhandler: thanks!
<TheLordOfTime> speaking of ubuntu gcs, if one of em shows up i'd like to talk with them via /query :)
<nhandler> topyli, AlanBell, Pici, funkyHat ^
<TheLordOfTime> i think you just let slip who the GCs are, nhandler :P
<AlanBell> no great secret that the IRCC are the GCs
<TheLordOfTime> :P
<AlanBell> I am about to leave the office, but if you want to pop into #ubuntu-irc-council then one of us will probably be able to assist
<nhandler> AlanBell: Is the cloak request ok? He is an ubuntu member
<AlanBell> yes, that is most certainly ok
<nhandler> Ok, thanks
<nhandler> statik: You should be all set
<statik> gracias
<TheLordOfTime> nhandler: /query?
<nhandler> Don't forget to add statik to the cloaked users group on Launchpad
<LordOfTime> any of the GCs around?
<LordOfTime> so are none of the IRCC people (or the GCs) online?
<bazhang> for what?
<LordOfTime> cloak stuffs
<Myrtti> they have a backlog, if you stick around after making your request then things would be faster
<k1l> LordOfTime: dont ask to ask :)
<LordOfTime> Myrtti:  yeah, i cant respond once i'm back at work though :p
<Fuchs> LordOfTime: /msg memoserv help   is a great thing, plus the thing I already said on cloaks and how urgent they are ;)
<LordOfTime> yup
<Pici> LordOfTime: I need to confer with another IRCCer before I can ack your request.
<LordOfTime> Pici:  received, its a minor change, just to the accountname reflected in the cloak
<LordOfTime> nothing more
 * LordOfTime may not respond on this nick, so memoserv would be a better method of contacting me
<Pici> LordOfTime: Just a change of the cloak to reflect your new account name?
<LordOfTime> yep
<LordOfTime> that's all that i need changed
<LordOfTime> the TrekWeb part is already approved by me, i'm the GC for that group
<LordOfTime> just need an IRCC person to approve the change for the ubuntu part
 * AlanBell was going to confer with Pici :)
<Pici> No problem from that end.
<Pici> AlanBell: unless I'm forgetting something about the new dual cloak policies.
<LordOfTime> last i heard about dual cloaks for freenode, its primary/primrole/secondary.accountname normally
<AlanBell> dunno, more of a freenode policy than an Ubuntu policy I think
<LordOfTime> but its been a while since i had to check
<LordOfTime> FUCHS
<LordOfTime> whoops caps
<LordOfTime> Fuchs would know :P
<Fuchs> LordOfTime: I read along, no need for Caps.
<LordOfTime> Fuchs:  accidental capslock
<Fuchs> the cloak format in gernal will work, since it stays the same.
 * LordOfTime hates capslock
<Fuchs> I am not aware how ubuntu IRCC handles frequent cloak changes
<AlanBell> freenode were discouraging dual cloaks I believe
<Fuchs> well, he already has one, so changing it would actually work.
<AlanBell> sounds fine then
<Pici> Indeed.
<Fuchs> *shrug*
<Fuchs> so I shall change the cloak?
<Pici> Go ahead.
<Fuchs> LordOfTime / Pici / AlanBell done.
<AlanBell> thanks Fuchs
<LordOfTime> thanks much
<Fuchs> You're welcome
<nhandler> Fuchs: That works too. As long as we can view the full MARK, it is probably fine
<Pici> Hm?
<Fuchs> Pici: nothing
<Fuchs> something about a different matter that ended up here, it seems
<Pici> Fuchs: staffer things, I get it.
<nhandler> Yep, sorry about that. Just ignore me
<paolettopn> Hi, can you help me for my ubuntu member cloak request?
<Myrtti> could you post your launchpad account page?
<paolettopn> yes  https://launchpad.net/~paolettopn
<Myrtti> paolettopn: are you a Ubuntu member?
<paolettopn> yes
<paolettopn> italian ubuntu member
<paolettopn> no international
<Myrtti> ah I see. well the Ubuntu member cloaks are for "International" members
<paolettopn> oppps... I'm sorry

<Myrtti> REMINDER: services will go down in less than 10 minutes.
<Myrtti> PLEASE OP UP IN THE CHANNELS YOU HAVE FLAGS TO DO SO IN
<TheLordOfTime> anyone here an op for -bugs?
<TheLordOfTime> they dont have an op it seems
<TheLordOfTime> (at least none that have seen the memo)
<TheLordOfTime> might just need one in -hardened
<TheLordOfTime> since that's a relatively low-traffic channel
<IdleOne> I don't think we need to op in ALL the channels, some are rarely if ever troll targets
<TheLordOfTime> mhm
<TheLordOfTime> i'm thinking if services explode for an extended time though
<TheLordOfTime> (its known to happen)
<Myrtti> still doing last checks...
<Myrtti> all done!

<Unit193> I'd think you can rework !gnome now, since installing ubuntu-desktop is clearly not the way to do it, as the factoid says (and it also says that it isn't the way to do it anymore. :P )
<ubot5> In ubot5, jbicha_ said: gnome is GNOME was the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu before !Unity To install it type Â« sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop Â» in a !terminal. See also !ubuntu-gnome
<Unit193> Does "...was the default Ubuntu !desktop environment before !Unity. To install gnome-shell..." make more sense to anyone else?
#ubuntu-irc 2013-06-15
<paddy> i have a complaint
<paddy> now that rww was invited to the show we can begin - can we, topyli?
<rww> yes hello, rww_man here
<paddy> rww, please try to contribute to the problem or shut up.
<rww> paddy: I stopped contributing to problems a long time ago, that's why I left Ubuntu.
<paddy> i had a situation with this rww person on #ubuntu-offtopic
<paddy> and i was asked by IdleOne to stop
<paddy> and i agreed
<paddy> after i agreed topyli came and set a mode without a reason
<rww> You are aware this isn't the ban resolution channel for #ubuntu-ops, yes?
<paddy> part of the problem was that rww used disrespectful language
<rww> for #ubuntu-offtopic, even
<paddy> e.g. he/she/it used the term "troll" to describe me as person
<paddy> things like that
<rww> I prefer the pronoun "it", no need for the other two.
<paddy> right now you act like an "it", sorry.
<topyli> paddy: if rww was a problem, it was fixed when he stopped actively operating our channels
<paddy> topyli, WHY did you set a mode when i agreed to stpo?
<topyli> if you believe i set +q for you in #ubuntu-offtopic without a reason, you should bring it up in #ubuntu-ops
<rww> paddy: because you're a persistant nuisance who should be exiled from everywhere you join, probably
<paddy> i asked WHY.
<rww> and thankfully the freenode illuminati is making good progress on that front
<IdleOne> I saw the entire conversation. What I saw was you trying to bait rww, if anything rww alerted the channel ops to a known problem user. Rather helpful if you ask me.
<paddy> and what role does this "rww" person play in the ubuntu community to have a word like this?
<Myrtti> are you one then? it usually cuts the chaff and goes to the point, some trolls acknowledge their trolldom
<paddy> i ask again, what role does this person havE?
<rww> paddy: I sit outside it and throw rocks at it.
<rww> paddy: I'm like you except not a creep.
<paddy> this will come to shuttleworth by ding dong i promise.
<IdleOne> I'm sure he looks forward to reading your email
<rww> also I delude myself that I'm somewhat more sensical
<topyli> paddy: rww has no official role afaik these days. that makes no difference however
<paddy> so you guys have a sexual online relationship with rww, is that "it"?
<topyli> not yet!
<rww> paddy: topyli and IdleOne don't, at least
<paddy> for sure?
<rww> topyli: sorry dear, I'm taken
<IdleOne> not with rww
<paddy> your word on it?
<IdleOne> he's cute but not my type
<paddy> i am not part of a gay mafia game or something?
<rww> paddy: I limit my Ubuntu operator sexchats to heterosexual encounters, sorry. I hope that doesn't curtail your fantasy life too much.
<IdleOne> well I think you have just proven why the quiet in -offtopic was a good decision
<topyli> paddy: if you're not, there's nothing wrong about that!
<paddy> 3 people it takes to troll me. 3.
<rww> actually it only takes one, topyli and IdleOne are just bored
<paddy> and the access as backup
<paddy> makes 4
<paddy> oh dear.
<IdleOne> rww knows us so well
<Myrtti> problem solved
<Myrtti> NEXT
<IdleOne> Satisfied customer?
<Fuchs> Myrtti: yes, hi, I'd like to complain about a user, "rww"
<topyli> this rww person never has twitter sex with me :(
<Fuchs> see?
<Myrtti> guise
<rww> twitter is bad, it makes you a twit :(
<Unit193> This user "Fuches" keeps PM'ing me and I don't like it!
<rww> 19:55:37 <paddy> you know they worship and protect you and thats why you beat a little schizophrenic mofo like me. how glorious.
<rww> for my next offering I demand ice cream
<rww> these burned cows you keep sending are not optimal
<Myrtti> take your flirting to pm, this is a logged channel >_____<
<rww> Myrtti: i am fine with that personally
<rww> anyways, now that the fun is over, BAI â¥

<mhall119> AlanBell: ping
<mhall119> AlanBell: I need to send a list of new IRC channels for UOS 14.06, what's the right email to send that to?
<mhall119> clarity: I have a list of channels I need created (and old ones that can be closed)
<Pici> mhall119: just send it off to irc-council@lists.ubuntu.com and one of us will take care of it.
<Unit193> I'd say irc-council @ lists.ubuntu com
<mhall119> thanks
<mhall119> sent, thanks again
#ubuntu-irc 2014-06-10
<mhall119> help! I really need those new UOS channels setup by 1400 UTC
<mhall119> AlanBell: canyou help?
<Pricey> mhall119: you just need channels created?
<mhall119> Pricey: yes
<mhall119> and the UDS bots in them
<Pricey> mhall119: You should be able to do this yourslef. Just "/join #ubuntu-newchannel" and "/msg chanserv register #ubuntu-newchannel"  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil/Coordination is a useful link. See the access list addition entries especially.
<Pricey> Ah, bots will be a different issue.
<jose> mhall119: not sure if tsimpson is around, afaik he's the one in charge for the bots
<jose> channels were regged by Pici, though
<tsimpson> what channels are missing?
<jose> tsimpson: channels used are now #ubuntu-uOs-track-number, not #ubuntu-uDs-track-number
<tsimpson> and someone thought this was a good idea?
<mhall119> oh, did somebody create the new ones with uds?
<jose> yeah, channels are set up with uds
<mhall119> tsimpson: jono did, I can blame him for everything now :)
<tsimpson> I created -uds-platform-1/2, -uds-devops-1/2, -uds-users-1/2 as well as the -uos channel for it just forwarding to -uds
<tsimpson> I think that's the best thing to do for the rest of them right now
<jose> we would need to ask Pici to set up a redirect, he's got the flags
<jose> -uds-appdev-1/2 and uds-community-1
<tsimpson> I don't think were going to get a painless migration if we try and do it before 14:00
<tsimpson> I'm sure I checked the summit links in the last few days and they were all using -uds channels
<tsimpson> AlanBell Pici  hggdh Tm_T: ping for the above
<Pici> tsimpson: wait, where am I forwarding things to? from UOS to UDS?
<tsimpson> Pici: we need to register -uos- channels for the remaining -uds- channels and set +if -uds- in the -uos- channels
<tsimpson> we can reverse everything and migrate the bots for the next U[A-Z]S
<Pici> okay.... we should be good
<Pici> can anyone verify for me?
<Pici> mhall119: you *should* be set now... all the -uos channels I registered yesterday have been forwarded to their -uds counterparts.  Assuming that tsimpson has the bots there, we should be set.
<tsimpson> the bots are all set in the uds channels
<jose> Pici: looks like it's working to me :)
<jose> thanks, guys!
<mhall119> Pici: tsimpson so the channels are actuallys -uds- still?
<Fuchs> apparently both exist, and the o ones are +if to the d one
<Fuchs> which sounds correct
<Fuchs> (at least for the ones I checked, I don't have a list)
<tsimpson> mhall119: yes
<tsimpson> so the logs on irclogs will be -uds-
<mhall119> ok, I'll just update summit to point to those then too
<Fuchs> mhall119: the -o ones will forward users, unless  1) they can't join  (due to already being there, being banned or similar reasons) 2) they have forwarding disabled  (most users don't do that)
<mhall119> Fuchs: that's fine, but to avoid confusion I've updated Summit as well
<genii> If some people in here are also in -locoteams, sorry for the crossposting. But I think either channel may be appropriate to mention this....
<genii> Is there something which can be done about empty official channels? For instance, #ubuntu-arabic there is zero users there, just Chanserv. And #ubuntu-sa ( the Saudi channel) only has 2 bots and again Chanserv. We can't in good faith be suggesting users go there for support in Arabic.

<emma> Hi, is anyone from the Ubuntu IRC council here?
#ubuntu-irc 2015-06-08
<hggdh_> no visible staff available here... so #freenode, here we come
<hggdh> cm-t: I asked for a ubuntu/member/cm-t cloak for you.
<teward> hggdh: when is IRC staff ever on when we want em to be xD
<teward> :P
<hggdh> heh
<hggdh> teward: but they do respond (and I already had an ack, but cm-t is probably sleeping now, so we will have to wait (he has to confirm the cloak name)
<teward> indeed
<teward> hggdh: indeed, but the original assessment remains :P
<teward> at least, when i lurk freenode they're never around XD
<hggdh> Murphy explains :-)
<Unit193> Flannel needs sasl already. :D
<teward> heh
#ubuntu-irc 2015-06-09
<Flannel> Unit193: I had it!  They deprecated it! So now I have to some manual tweaks and compiles and things to make it work again.
<Unit193> Flannel: Aha!  You used dh-blowfish, just switch to PLAIN and you're a-ok.
<Unit193> Erm, you're not connecting over ssl, don't use PLAIN.
<Flannel> Well, half the point of SASL is to not send things over plaintext :P
<Unit193> That's SSL.
<Flannel> No, SASL accomplished the same thing (where 'things' is a password)
<Unit193> Eh, not well, due to blowfish.  But anyway, yes you can do ECDSACHALLENGE, I do.
<Mikaela> Flannel: SASL PLAIN sends the username and password in plain text and DH-* were removed because they were insecure and people thought them to be more secure than SASL PLAIN + SSL. More about that at https://nullroute.eu.org/~grawity/irc-sasl-dh.html (down?) and http://kaniini.dereferenced.org/2014/12/26/do-not-use-DH-AES-or-DH-BLOWFISH.html .

<MooDoo> keeping warm isn't a problem :)
<teward> is there a policy against the use of "LMGTFY" links as answers to people?  In many places, I see it as a "this is bad don't do it" thing... what's the policy for it in the IRC support channels for Ubuntu?
<Fuchs> teward: very much frowned upon
<Fuchs> teward: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines
<Fuchs> "Telling people to "RTFM" or to "just google it" is not very polite. Ideally, you should find them a link, or at least give them some directions to documentation they can use."
<teward> Fuchs: that's what I assumed - found an infraction therein in #ubuntu but it was only once
<teward> I was considering prodding them if they do it again to know it's frowned upon
<Fuchs> sure, a nice prod though
<Pici> I used to have a hilight on lmgtfy links... but most people don't use them anymore
