<sebner> heya folks. Is somebody around who can give me a shiny ubuntu cloak?
<czester> sebner: Ask freenode staff
<Myrtti> czester, sebner it's not freenode issue
<Myrtti> sebner: you're on the right channel
<sebner> Myrtti: great
<Myrtti> sebner: currently, ubuntu cloaks are for ubuntu members only
<czester> Myrtti: Oh. I thought that freenode staff members give cloaks
<sebner> Myrtti: I know. I'm one
<Myrtti> sebner: are you one?
<sebner> Myrtti: since 2 days :)
<sebner> Myrtti: https://edge.launchpad.net/~sebner
<sebner> czester: yeah. they give unaffliated cloaks but  not ubuntu cloaks
<czester> sebner: Oh, ok ;-)
<Myrtti> I'm not myself in a position to give any cloaks, but if you're registered and identified to the services, have set up a linked alias nick, and have your contact info in nickserv, I guess everything is in order for you to have a u cloak
<Myrtti> as soon as some one with the access to them wakes up/becomes active
<sebner> Myrtti: k, thx
 * czester is considering getting ubuntu cloak ;-)
<Myrtti> I had a wikipedia one in the past
<czester> I was gentoo user but never had g cloak
<sebner> PriceChild: around? =)
<PriceChild> sebner: what's up?
<sebner> PriceChild: you have the authority to give ubuntu cloaks , right?
<PriceChild> sebner: yes
<sebner> PriceChild: would you mind giving me one? Yes I'm ubuntu member ;)
 * PriceChild grins at the tshirt
<sebner> PriceChild: hm?
<PriceChild> on launchpad
<sebner> PriceChild: ah ^^
<PriceChild> and the cloak has been activated
<sebner> PriceChild: cool, thanks :)
<[NikO]> i will never have ones :(
<[NikO]> is it possible to have an ubuntu cloak https://launchpad.net/~nicolascoevoet
<Pici> [NikO]: It does not appear that you are an Ubuntu member, only members can qualify for an Ubuntu cloak
<Pici> !member | [NikO]
<ubottu> [NikO]: Want to become an Ubuntu member? Look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember
<[NikO]> ?
<[NikO]> why it doesn't appear ?
<Pici> [NikO]: Ubuntu membership is not automatic, you need to have made a significant contribution to Ubuntu, see that link for details.
<[NikO]> i can count operators actions ..
<Pici> [NikO]: Until you have been approved by the Regional Membership board of your location, we can't give you an Ubuntu cloak.
<Pici> is a bot is <reply> I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't let you do that.
<Pici> oops
<Pici> who put my ubottu window next to #ubuntu-irc?

<Lunks> Are Ubuntu specific language channels administered by independent people or they are related to #ubuntu main channel?
<nalioth> they are related
<Lunks> nalioth: #ubuntu-br is in need of operators.
<nalioth> Lunks: there are several in that condition, i'm sorry to say
<Lunks> nalioth: How can someone apply to be an operator?
<nalioth> there is no application process
<Lunks> I know usually people don't apply to become an operator as they are usually chosen, but this is different. ;P
<Lunks> nalioth: As I thought, but one (not really one) is required to add them to access lists, who *should* be aware of what's going on.
<nalioth> noted :)
<Lunks> nalioth: Who might that one/ones be? ;P

<juan-arg> hola a todos tengo una duda porque ahi canales de freenode que bloquean a los usarios con proxy tor?
<jussi01> !tor
<ubottu> TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg
<jussi01> !hostmask
<ubottu> 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
<Myrtti> for the exact same reason we block most of the webchats too
<jussi01> !tor-gpg
<ubottu> You can use tor and still access #ubuntu and other channels that have tor blocked.  How? Read http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor to find out how to bypass all the tor hassles on freenode.
<juan-arg> !proxy tor
<ubottu> Factoid proxy tor not found
<juan-arg> ubottu, !about
<ubottu> Factoid about not found
<juan-arg> !supybot
<ubottu> Factoid supybot not found
<juan-arg> !http://supybot.com/
<ubottu> juan-arg: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
<RoAkSoAx> juan-arg, investiga el bot utilizando un privado
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, perdon no conocia este bot
<Myrtti> !bot
<ubottu> I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;)
<Myrtti> !proxy
<ubottu> Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
<Myrtti> it doesnt take multiple factoids
<RoAkSoAx> juan-arg, no tienes porque disculparte, pero siempre que necesites buscar factos en el bot haslo por privado :)
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, ok
<RoAkSoAx> juan-arg, y se bloquea por proxy, porque se suele utilizar estos proxies para realizar ataques de flood y etc.
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, y ahi alguna forma de autetinficarse para que no me bloques mi usariao esta registrado y nunca trolie
<RoAkSoAx> juan-arg, si, lee este enlace:  http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, estoy usando mejokbp2brhw4omd.onion
<RoAkSoAx> juan-arg, tienes que seguir los pasos que te indican ahi utilizando tu GPG Key
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, ok
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, disculpa mi ignorancia como agrego una clave pgp ?
<RoAkSoAx> juan-arg, gpg Aplicaciones> Accesorios > Contrasenas y Claves de Encriptacion
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, gracias
<RoAkSoAx> juan-arg, luego le das Clave > Crear Nueva Clave y escoges Clave PGP
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, la pregunta es que ago con esto echo '<nick> <passwordhash>' | gpg --gnupg -sea -r 035D6B1D
<juan-arg> ya remplase en donde dice name juan-arg y el hash de mi pasword pero no se donde ponerlo
<RoAkSoAx> el passwordhash lo haces con: mkpasswd -H md5
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, si ya lo hice ya tengo todo pero donde lo pongo?
<RoAkSoAx> terminal
<juan-arg> ok
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, pero antes tengo que crear una pgp?
<RoAkSoAx> si
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, generando clave....
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx,  osea como quedaria mi nick el hash y mi pgp o la que dice en la pagina
<RoAkSoAx> no se en realidad, nunca lo he utilizado :S
<juan-arg> RoAkSoAx, listo ahora voy a volver a conectarme gracias

<nalioth> !clone
<ubottu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type Â« aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages Â», move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type Â« sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install Â» - See also !automate
<nalioth> hmm
<nalioth> pace_t_zulu: there is a factoid at that URL that tells you how to make your own ubot*

<pace_t_zulu> can you bang (!) it for me?
<nalioth> pace_t_zulu: no, i'm afraid i can't remember it.  it is listed at the URL, though
<pace_t_zulu> nalioth: thank you

<knome> can i have a ubuntu irc cloak: https://launchpad.net/~knome
<jpds> knome: Please be sure to have grouped an alternate nick and have an email set with your account as per: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
<knome> sure.
<jpds> knome: You can check by doing: /msg NickServ info
<jpds> And congrats!
<knome> thanks
<knome> oh, i really need a specific alternate nick?
<jpds> It can just be: knome_
<knome> jpds, "You are already logged in as knome."
<knome> anything with knome and a character is the same as knome
<knome> oh right
<knome> wrong command.
<knome> now i has knome_
<knome> :P
<knome> oh no
<knome> i was right at the beginning
<knome> "Nick knome is already registered to your account."
<knome> with "group knome_"
<knome> i'm not sure if that changed lately, but i've read it from some freenode doc
<jpds> knome: Does the info command show a grouped nick?
<knome> jpds, only "Nicks knome"
<jpds> knome: Do: /nick knome_ and then /msg NickServ group
<knome> jpds, if you *really* need an alternate nick, it's okay, but a bit useless
<knome> same message: already registered
<jpds> Yes, it's in case your connection drops out and you come back as knome_ for example.
<knome> knome_ is treated as user knome
<knome> do you want me to get the freenode doc link?
<jpds> [Freenode] -NickServ(NickServ@services.)- knome_ is not registered.
<knome> meh..
<knome_> ok, it's now registered
<knome> that was one kinky thing.
<jpds> That's it! Pricey, nalioth, can you please look into knome's cloak request when you have time? ^^
<knome> thanks jpds. i appreciate it
<knome> thanks! received my cloak already.

<CogitoErgoSam> Can someone kick a whiny troll from #ubuntu?  He's emo over not having his question answered so he's spamming everyone who asks a question with gibberish responses, pretending to know how to fix them.
<CogitoErgoSam> name's pakete
<Flannel> CogitoErgoSam: #ubuntu-ops is the place you want to go for #ubuntu
<CogitoErgoSam> thanks, thought I had checked that channel but I guess I fat-fingered the keyboard and got the wrong one

<nealmcb> Is #ubuntu-security supposed to forward to #ubuntu-hardened?  Didn't do it for me....
<tsimpson> nealmcb: were you already in #ubuntu-hardened?
<nealmcb> tsimpson: nope
<tsimpson> it is set to forward there
<nealmcb> I ended up in #ubuntu-security all by myself
<tsimpson> nealmcb: are you in there now?
<nealmcb> I am in -hardened now
<tsimpson> I mean -security
<nealmcb> and then joining -security put me in an odd empty window
<nealmcb> tsimpson: aha - forwarding from -security to -hardened does work - my mistake - used wrong irc server....  And I just noticed the error message from when I tried to join -security after joining -hardened - which says it is invite only - that seems odd, but no biggie....
<tsimpson> well if you're already in the forwarded channel, it can't forward you
<tsimpson> so it tells you it's invite only, which is half of how the forwarding works

<ubottu> cori__AWAY, please see my private message
<arand> Hmm, the !doesntwork could be a bit less snarky, and a bit more helpful, I think (although I don't hav a good suggestion..)
 * erUSUL liked when all factoids where as snarky as they could be ;P
<erUSUL> arand: anyway; just word it as you like and propose the change
<erUSUL> arand: /msg ubottu doesntwork is <reply>My no hurt feelings wording here ;P
<arand> Yea, I know... But I don't know a good replace though, and just wanted to vent, I guess :/
<arand> I'll ponder it though. and submit when I've got something.
<erUSUL> ok.
<erUSUL> arand: also; the ones that edit the factoids are the ubuntu ops so you are better asking this things in #ubuntu-ops ...
<persia> Not necessarily.
<arand> Ah, yea, but it's normally more helpers around here so I though it would be likelier to get some ideas, and not having to bother ops for it.
<persia> It often makes sense to discuss and consider in various places, and then just submit something by telling the bot "Foo is Bar", which will be moderated.
<erUSUL> arand: in the spanish channel our equivalen is Â« does not work or it errors out are not good descriptions of a problem. be more descriptive and show us complete error messages through a !pastebin Â»
<erUSUL> arand: also you can add a reference to !details
<erUSUL> !details
<ubottu> Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."
<erUSUL> arand: you can use !details instead of !doesntwork in almost all the situations
<arand> Yea, probably, pebkac :)

<jpds> Oh, yeah; that.
<Pici> heh.
<micahg> is ubot4 broke?
<jpds> Yes.
<micahg> ah
<jpds> Well, it had no money to begin with.

<jpds> pleia2: Do you know anything that could be causing this?
<pleia2> jpds: nope, I haven't changed anything
<jpds> And all I've changed is it's channel lists.
<pleia2> I just connected to freenode from that box without a problem
<pleia2> with irssi
<Pici> jpds: you have sasl setup on that bot?
<jpds> pleia2: nc irc.freenode.net 7070 just hangs while 6667 connects.
<jpds> Pici: Don't think supybot supports that.
<Pici> jpds: Well, iirc 7070 is only for ssl/sasl connections.
<pleia2> yeah, can't use 7070 w/o ssl
<pleia2> 8001 should be fine
<jpds> pleia2: Yes.
<jpds> Well, it was using SSL fine before...
<jpds> I switched the channels, restarted the bot; and it couldn't connect.
<pleia2> I can connect fine with SSL in irssi on 7070
<pleia2> so I'm not sure :\

<jpds> Weird.
<Pici> jpds: What if you start it with --debug ?
<tsimpson> I tried using ssl with the new bots, supybot does not like it
<jpds> Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/435677/
<tsimpson> jpds: that's the error I got, I think supybot uses an outdated twisted API
<jpds> tsimpson: That's with SSL off...
<tsimpson> but still using twisted
<tsimpson> I had to change back to Socket
<jpds> Yeah, my experience with that is basically that they picked the name well.
<tsimpson> the "unknown error" is an exception thrown due to a missing method somewhere
<jpds> Yay.
<Pici> jpds: Looking around leads me to believe this might be a related to a problem where twisted encounters AAAA records.
<jpds> Pici: Nice.
<vish> micahg: looks like you caught the o-p-s in a good mood , all were toying with you  ;p
<jpds> We're always having fun.

<arand_> Are #xubuntu invite-only/banning tor access/nonexistant/banning me for no apparent reason?
<wdh> it appears that everything with @gateway/tor* is banned, so yes, that will keep you out
<Pici> hrm.
<Pici> arand_: Let me take a look at that.
<Pici> arand_: Removed.
<arand_> Pici: Cheers
<arand_> (Just noticed it before and thought it a bit odd)
<Pici> arand_: It doesn't make sense to keep it now that freenode requires users to use sasl to connect with tor.
<tritium> Who owns the lubotu* bots?
<tritium> I just removed lubotu1 from #ubuntu-us-nm.  We have ubot3, and never requested lubotu1.
<DJones> tritium: the loco channel bots have been replaced, different geographic loco's get different lubotu*'s
<DJones> have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots lubotu1 is the ubot* replacement for the America's loco's
<DJones> Looks like ubottu & ubot* are kept for the core/non-loco channels
<tritium> DJones: I was not aware of this.
<tritium> Thanks.
<DJones> I'm only aware becuase the same question came up in -uk a day or so back
<tritium> Well, now I have to figure out how to get lubotu1 back in #ubuntu-us-nm.  ;)  I'll ask nalioth to remove ubot3.
<DJones> tritium: I think you probably need to ping jus.si or ts.impson
<tritium> OK, thanks.
<tritium> According to that URL above, we're supposed to have lubotu4 in our channel.
<tritium> No, my mistake.
<tritium> jussi, tsimpson: can either of you please re-add lubotu1 to #ubuntu-us-nm?  I kicked him out.  Sorry!

 * Tm_T feels big need to scream "no channel splitting!!" ):
<IdleOne> Tm_T: is that channel splitting convo still going on?
<Tm_T> IdleOne: it never ends
<IdleOne> seems like a waste of manpower to split the channel
<Damascene> are you talking about #ubuntu?
<IdleOne> yes
<IdleOne> and splitting it into -lts etc
<Damascene> well if you didn't spilt it you will keep losing users
<IdleOne> How do you figure?
<Damascene> will usually in a channel 10 can talk on one subject
<Damascene> but what if there is 100 subject?
<Damascene> should the other 99 subject wait?
<IdleOne> that is why we use highlighting
<IdleOne> I focus on what is addressed to me when I am trying to help a user
<IdleOne> granted some of use more experienced user also try to keep up with other convos
<IdleOne> s/use/us
<IdleOne> but for the new user teaching them about !tab makes abig difference in my opinion
<Damascene> so you should make sure that new users now about highlighting too
<IdleOne> Damascene: I try to when I see that a user is not familiar with it
<IdleOne> I am so used to using tab complete that I use it in priv msg also :)
<IdleOne> or in a slow channel like this one is at the moment
<Damascene> in many channel what people usually do is to look to a channel from time to time. in #ubuntu you should have all your eyes and ears there to be able to help someone
<IdleOne> I know you are paying attention to what i am saying but I still highlighted you
<IdleOne> we could use #ubuntu-irc-helpers as a place to redirect or as a place where a helper can ask a user to join for more detailed help with less scroll
<IdleOne> right now it is a dead channel :/
<IdleOne> I would suggest making it an officially logged channel and metabot could also keep track of the questions asked and categorize the answers
<IdleOne> just a thought
<Damascene> will if you have enough helpers you can just make
<Damascene> ubuntu-1 ubuntu-2
<Damascene> up to four channel
<IdleOne> we don't need four channels
<IdleOne> we have #ubuntu-irc-helpers
<IdleOne> it is not a busy channel and can be used just for when a user has difficulties that require more detailed attention
<IdleOne> not to mention a -1 would get confused with +1
<Damascene> I think enough discussion have been made and it's urgent to fix the problem
<IdleOne> it could be set to +i and have the "helpers" invite the user. a list of trusted helpers could get access to do invites
<Damascene> whether it is -1 or what ever the present situation is miss
<IdleOne> or have a bot do the invites. !ubottu invite $user
<IdleOne> and the bot sends a nice message saying hey $user would like you to join #
<Damascene> you can just categorize the problems and have it in groups
<Damascene> so interested users and helpers can be there
<IdleOne> talk to LjL about metabot and how it works.
<Damascene> LjL-Temp, talk to us about metabot, please.
<IdleOne> often times we see users ask if the helper can go private. right now what we normally do is !pm | user  we could add to that factoid and suggest #ubuntu-irc-helpers as an alternative to pm. That way there is still peer review insuring that bad advice is not given.

<bazhang> !helpme
<ubottu> Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude
<arand> Would it be reasonable to update the #ubuntu+1 topic with "no liveCDs, no update-manager -d, if you *really* want to edit sources.list" or something to that matter?
<arand> s/want\ to/want\ to\ upgrade\ now/
<tsimpson> I think not, if someone wants to upgrade this early they should be forced to search how ;)
<Tm_T> I agree
<Tm_T> it should not be made easy yet
<Tm_T> "if you have to ask, forget it"
<arand> Well in that case how about "No liveCDs, no auto-upgrade possible yet" simply? Since it's a common question.
<tsimpson> you assume people read the topic
<tsimpson> it may reduce those questions by 1 or 2%, but people _will_ still ask, no matter what the topic says
<arand> Well, what else is the topic good for apart from a faint hope that someone reads it?
<arand> Ah well, fair enough.
<tsimpson> I just don't thing it's particularly necessary/useful, but if someone wants to update the topic...

#ubuntu-irc 2011-05-17
<fujisan> i only know the date on which it occured i don't know if the channel was logged only log i have of it is in comic chat unfortunately
<fujisan> @ LjL
<fujisan> if it's a big issue with comic chat logs i will just file a complaint with the anti-discrimination authorities
<fujisan> i should have done it straight away
<LjL> fujisan: please tell your story from the beginning. i'm not in the IRC Council myself, but the IRC Council will see this (this channel is logged). you may want to take some time to get your logs together. #ubuntu-nl is, i believe, also publicly logged.
<LjL> !logs
<ubottu> Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/
<fujisan> this happened in ubuntu-nl-offtopic which isn't logged unfortunately
<fujisan> i am not disputing my ban there btw
<fujisan> just this incidence
<fujisan> the ban is a result of them hating me for taking racism serious
<fujisan> it's all a big joke to them alas and i want to send a message
<fujisan> that there is zero tolerance for racism
<fujisan> incident*
<fujisan> http://imgur.com/dOl1x << this is all i have of it no official looking log unfortunately
<fujisan> i can translate what he said
<fujisan> it's about the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and many black people, and people of other cultures, and races live there.So he says:" I am afraid to go to Rotterdam with my car", and then the other guy asked: "Why did you go there?" and then the guy says: "Watching Monkeys." and then the other guy says: "Did you laugh at them." and then the other guy says: "I am careful not too they were carrying so many knifes in their pockets the
<fujisan> that's basically it i am not an official translator
<fujisan> but i think this is pure racism and uncalled for
<fujisan> and it's all a big joke to them
<fujisan> that's the worst part
<fujisan> and the admin JanC he didn't flinge or nothing
<fujisan> and he left when he saw i came in
<popey> he pung out
<fujisan> ye afterwards i was so angry that i couldnt behave normal anymore in their
<fujisan> there*
<fujisan> and i have a bad history of being a troll but i am in therapy and doing better and was getting along fine in there and then this happened
<fujisan> but if you guys dont take it serious i can understand i will go to the authorities
<fujisan> the admin banned me cause i was using someone elses 2nd nick btw the guy who made the comments i was seeking for my own justice i guess
<fujisan> but the admin is really to blame here for doing nothing about it
<fujisan> i asked him when this happened to ban me for life because the way they all saw this was like some big joke
<fujisan> and being light brown myself i know what racism feels like so i had to speak out against it
<fujisan> maybe too little to late
<fujisan> i always felt safe from racism in the ubuntu channels but now not anymore i will just stick to the macosx channel where i never ever experienced racism
<fujisan> thanks for letting me tell the story
<fujisan> i hope you guys will take this serious
<fujisan> and not like some joke because i am dead serious
<fujisan> bu bye
<JanC> ah, fujisan has been spamming here too...  :P
<Pici> Yeah.
<JanC> he has been spamming some #ubuntu-nl* regulars too  :-(
<Pici> Any truth to his claims?
<JanC> somebody said something he claims was racist, but IIRC it was just something he misunderstood
<JanC> in any case, he has been banned for repeated trolling, ban evading, insulting people and a number of other things
<JanC> and this is about the 50th time he got banned for all those  ;)
<jussi> JanC: sounds similar to the story in other ubuntu channels.
<ubot4> In #ubuntu-bugs, Fvic said: ubot4, yes the bug is same.i read theory.but havenot actually triaged any bug.can you please help me to start.?
<fujisan> oops now you know my real identity :)
<fujisan> thanks again folks
<fujisan> i had a good day today after i got it of my chest
<fujisan> :)
<hypatia> glad to hear, fujisan
 * hypatia offers tea and cupcakes
<fujisan> :) thanks

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (Gnome) also exist.
<Logan_> thanks :)
<rww> !firewall =~ s/Gnome/GNOME/
#ubuntu-irc 2011-05-18
<tsimpson> !firewall ~= s/also exist/ and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist/
<ubottu> I'll remember that tsimpson
<tsimpson> please don't forget LTS ;)
<rww> It hasn't been updated since hardy, and I've never heard of anyone actually using it ;P
<tsimpson> it's just a frontend for iptables, and it does what it's supposed to do
<rww> convince the Windows converts that their non-existant open ports are safe? :(
<rww> anyways.
<tsimpson> one day, there will be a KDE frontend to ufw, it's planned
<tsimpson> bug guarddog is still useful to do ICS and the like
<tsimpson> *but
<IdleOne> bugging the guarddog is a bad idea
<IdleOne> just saying :)

<fujisan> i was just banned from ubuntu-offtopic while doing nothing wrong :( by someone who just doesnt like me and happens to be an @dmin there, what can i do?
<fujisan> i wasn't doing anything wrong
<fujisan> ikonia why did you ban me?
<fujisan> that's not in the spirit of ubuntu
<ikonia> fujisan: you are a long term ban from the ubuntu channels, it's some how been removed - I'm putting it back
<fujisan> not really
<fujisan> i was not on the banlist
<fujisan> i was on my best behaviour this is so unfair?
<fujisan> people change you know
<fujisan> i changed
<fujisan> you stayed the same apparently
<ikonia> fujisan: too many chances are gone, there are other channels for you to use
<fujisan> ikonia i am going to dispute this ban
<fujisan> i did nothing wrong
<ikonia> nothing more to discuss on it,
<fujisan> there was no ban
<fujisan> on my nick
<fujisan> you obviously abused your adminship
<fujisan> in ubuntu-offtopic
<ikonia> fujisan: there are many bans on your many nicks, it's been cleared down by mistake, I'm putting the ban back in place
<fujisan> because you dont like me
<fujisan> i get it but thats not fair
<fujisan> ikonia you just assume that it was done by mistake
<fujisan> i dispute the ban
<fujisan> i did nothing wrong
<ikonia> not going to discuss it any more
<fujisan> ask anyone there
<fujisan> well then i will find someone else
<LjL> fujisan, by the way, #ubuntu-offtopic *is* a core channel (contrary to #Ubuntu-nl) so you may want to discuss this in #Ubuntu-ops
<ikonia> thank you LjL

<fujisan> yes AlanBell?
<AlanBell> hi, thanks for coming here
<fujisan> is this about my earlier complaints?
<AlanBell> ikonia had some concerns, which I would like to understand better
<AlanBell> are you based in the UK?
<fujisan> AlanBell i dont feel like explaining it again i was in ubuntu-nl-offtopic my two main languages are dutch and english, i was banned from ubuntu-nl-offtopic and ubuntu-nl after years of chatting there without too many issues, but some people decided to make racist remarks i spoke out against them and was subsequently rejected and banned, so i was looking for a channel were i could chat i came to ubuntu-uk explained the story asked if i co
<ikonia> that is lies
<AlanBell> ah yes, I recall you mentioning that the other day
<fujisan> i am not doing this again
<fujisan> just ask MartijnVdS or shauno
<fujisan> or popey even
<AlanBell> ok
<fujisan> ikonia i understand you dont like me i will be a big boy and stay away from ubuntu-uk if you stay away from macosx since thats my favorite channel ok deal?
<fujisan> see i can act as a todler as well
<ikonia> fujisan: I'm not interested in deals, it has nothing to do with "no liking you"
<fujisan> ok
<fujisan> ikonia i chatted in ubuntu-uk for quite a while now without issues
<fujisan> just ask anyone there
<fujisan> so i dont see why you cant just leave me alone
<ikonia> I'm not disputing your current conversation. I've explained this to AlanBell
<ikonia> fujisan: your long standing past and serious behaviour problems is the reason I've mentioned it, as I explained to you the other day,
<fujisan> yes ikonia i used to be a troll i have mental issues i am under therapy i am doing better i changed my ways am i not allowed to change and act normal?
<fujisan> what do you want from me exactly ikonia?
<ikonia> fujisan: I'd like you to stay out of the ubuntu name space
<ikonia> as I've explained
<fujisan> so this is a mission to get me banned
<fujisan> i am not staying around for this
<ikonia> there are other channels (you're already in them) for ubuntu chat with less rules, you would be better suited using them
<fujisan> bye
<fujisan> still there ikonia ?
<fujisan> i left ubuntu-uk i hope that satisfies your revenge
<fujisan> ;)
<fujisan> kind regards
<fujisan> bu bye
<Pici> Er.

<fujisan> so this is a gateway ?
<Tm_T> pardon?
<fujisan> a gateway into the conversion of the club to one day be forgiven and be allowed into the ubuntu namespace as a born again ubuntu member :)

<MTecknology> is he one of the people that never listened to the email I sent to them?
 * MTecknology looks
<rww> dunno
<UndiFineD> I doubt that
<rww> MTecknology: I'm not planning on using LinkedIn ever, but I'm vaguely curious: what's in the email?
<MTecknology> rww: I actually don't remember... every time i click decline there's an auto message sent out - let me go grab it
<UndiFineD> MTecknology, would you decline the same person 3 times on the same day ?
<UndiFineD> without looking at the message they send
<MTecknology> rww: http://dpaste.com/545157/
<MTecknology> that message lies though... linkedin doesn't let me use email verification - which made things easy
<MTecknology> UndiFineD: name?
<UndiFineD> k.dejong
<UndiFineD> Keimpe de Jong
<MTecknology> I don't see your request listed
<UndiFineD> no it has been a while
<MTecknology> https://launchpad.net/people/?name=de+Jong%2C+Keimpe&searchfor=all
<UndiFineD> MTecknology, send my request just now
<UndiFineD> https://launchpad.net/~k.dejong
<MTecknology> approved - next time read the message you're sent
<rww> ironically, that silly LP search page doesn't find MTecknology either.
<UndiFineD> well, if I reply it is not read
<rww> oh, I lie, I can't spell
<MTecknology> 29 requests to join this week..
<UndiFineD> well people are at least interested :)
<rww> MTecknology: 90% of which aren't valid requests, I'd guess?
<MTecknology> rww: pretty much
<rww> yeah, concept of an "Ubuntu Member" isn't immediately obvious to a lot of people
 * Cheri703 might be trying to become an ubuntu member soon
<MTecknology> rww: well.... 4 potentially legit....
<MTecknology> better than normal odds
<MichealH> Is the Lubuntu Channels Official?
<MichealH> As Lubuntu is now Official
<persia> MichealH: How do you mean "Official"?  Do you mean "have all the i's been dotted and t's crossed" or do you mean "These are considered important channels and part of the Ubuntu channel set"?
<MichealH> I mean is the #lubuntu channel Core?
<MichealH> BRB
<MichealH> Switching PC's
<persia> I think "Core" and "Official" are very different, and should be kept that way.  There's lots of "Official" channels that aren't "Core".
<rww> MichealH: Unless something changed recently and I haven't heard about it and the documentation hasn't been updated, it's not managed by the IRC team, so it's not a core channel.
<rww> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/Scope lists the ones that are.
<rww> Lubuntu's council and the IRC council would presumably have to discuss it if they wanted #lubuntu to be managed by the IRC team.
<persia> Well, no, as Lubuntu doesn't have a "council".
<rww> Fun. Well whoever's responsible for important decisions there I guess ;P
<MichealH> The founder of #lubuntu? :P
<persia> Anyway, that's just details: for folk not part of Lubuntu and not on the IRCC, it's best to consider the Lubuntu channels the same as any other flavour at this point.
<persia> (and I recommend not poking this too much if you don't fit into those categories unless there is some issue happening that needs it poked, which IRCC can probably help sort)
<rww> persia: I was replying to MichealH asking whether the channels are core channels. The word "official" is thrown around enough that I don't bother trying to define it :P
<persia> rww, "Core" has been messy and contentious in it's time as well :)
<rww> persia: and now we have a nice shiny list and it hasn't been an issue in a while, afaik ;P
<rww> and from the IRC op perspective, it's an important distinction, as core channel implies the ops there have bantracker access for the whole namespace, idle in -ops, etc., etc.
<LjL> i don't recommend recommending against the public not commenting over matters ;(
<persia> rww, Yeah, we said that last time we had a list :)  Note that I'm happy the issue is quiet, and I hope it's a long while before we discuss it again: I just believe that any fixed lists are inherently unscalable, so therefore need continued discussion as the project changes.
<MichealH> As a op of #lubuntu, I may find the bantracker and all of ubottu's features to be useful to the channel
<persia> LjL, Comments are fine.  Given the scrambling to sort Lubuntu stuff lately, I suspect the folks that need to do things are busy enough that more folk asking them to do more things won't help much yet.
<rww> MichealH: considering that #lubuntu has 1 ban set, I doubt this.
<rww> but anyway, it's not my decision, so *shrug*
<MichealH> rww: But as it grows, we may need it
<MichealH> persia: I did not ask them to do it, I just asked if it was core or not
<persia> Oh, I know :)
<MichealH> Although I think it would benifit us later on :)
<rww> incidentally, the ban's set against a dynamic hostname that's no longer valid anyway, so is removable ;)
<MichealH> heh
<LjL> rww is annoying don't mind him
<LjL> he wants banlists to be clean because a clean banlist is a happier banlist or something
<MichealH> Reminds me of my school - "A tidy tie is a happy tie"
<MichealH> lulz
<rww> LjL: well, you know, it's one less banlist slot to hunt down when #lubuntu grows and the list gets full.
<LjL> *censors himself*
<MichealH> rww: BTW, How did you know that was dynamic?
<rww> MichealH: because I recognize the user from #ubuntu, and they've switched hostnames since that one.

<dax> Howdy. Someone around with a launchpad account who feels like fixing IRC documentation for me?
<Unit193> Feels like helping dax? Maybe, where at?
<dax> Unit193: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Cloaks . mentions of ubuntu/member/other.cloak.nickname should be ubuntu/member/othercloak.nickname, and other/cloak/ubuntu.member.nickname should be other/cloak/ubuntu.nickname
<dax> or, in general, combination cloaks do not have a role field for the secondary project
<dax> it's not just the bit at the top, the text itself has those incorrect formats in it too
<dax> looks like just under "Member cloaks" though, the rest of the page discusses other topics
<Unit193> Looks easy enough.
<Unit193> All good?
<dax> yes, thanks :)
<Unit193> No problem!
<Emerling> Hi i need put mootobot meetingology  in my loCo team channel, . how i can put into channel?
<AlanBell> anyone know what channel Emerling is on about?
<popey> #ubuntu-ve at a guess
<AlanBell> hi all, we will be putting out a call for applications for a place on the IRC Council today
<Unit193> AlanBell: By the header I'm guessing https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-members is the one to vote, if so, can I be added?
<AlanBell> yes, done
<Unit193> Thanks muchly!
<pleia2> congrats! :)
<Unit193> Heh, danke.
<Fuchs> AlanBell: sorry for the dumb question, where is the agenda for the next IRCC meetings?  (for ubuntu memberships)
<Unit193> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil/MeetingAgenda
<Fuchs> thankies
<Unit193> Yeppers.
<Fuchs> uhm
<Fuchs> the next meeting is in the past
 * AlanBell will fixor
<Unit193> So? Is your time machine broken again?
<Fuchs> Unit193: yes, used too much recently
<AlanBell> fixed
<Fuchs> I can add myself to the list there, then?
<AlanBell> yup
<Fuchs> I hope I'll get the wiki syntax right, I have to admit I don't use the ubuntu wikis often as an editor
<Fuchs> and "date added" would be today?
<AlanBell> yeah, I have no idea why anyone ever thought that was important
<AlanBell> it is a wiki, it has a dated history
<Fuchs> right, added myself
<AlanBell> yay \o/
<Fuchs> I'll check with my fellow ops to get a few more testimonials until then :)
<Fuchs> and then I'll hope I'll pass :)
<AlanBell> I heard they are quite tough
<Unit193> ...But if I can get past one, I'm sure you will.

<benonsoftware> amithkk: Yes?
<amithkk> The community team redirected me here to get a block cloak
<amithkk> *bot
<benonsoftware> amithkk: Ping a member of the IRC Council, they should be able to help you
<amithkk> I guess..
<amithkk> head_victim: ping
<amithkk> elky: ping
<Myrtti> neither of those are members of the IRC council
<amithkk> AlanBell: ping
<amithkk> um
<amithkk> Their not?
 * amithkk sighs
<Myrtti> AlanBell is
<amithkk> I've got to get my councils sorted
<head_victim> amithkk: As mentioned, I'd love to help but am not in a position to do so.
<head_victim> My suggestion is to lay out the request you have so even if you're not around when the council members are they can act upon your request. If it's private or urgent I'd suggest emailing them.
<AlanBell> amithkk details please
<amithkk> I made a bot for AskUbuntu Integration
<amithkk> http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/3179/how-about-adding-rss-feeds-for-certain-tags-in-irc-channels
<amithkk> and got it registered and working
<amithkk> Somebody suggested an irc cloak for it
<amithkk> well... I guess thats it :D
<AlanBell> bot account name?
<amithkk> twobottux
<AlanBell> and channels you intend to run it in
<amithkk> #juju #juju-dev #ubuntu-app-devel and #2buntu
<amithkk> that's the list for now
<amithkk> any channels expressing interest will be added
<AlanBell> what is #2buntu?
<amithkk> That's the place where the bot provides services, and the bot reports any problems there
<AlanBell> ok
<amithkk> Since it was originally for controlling the 2buntu room
<AlanBell> I am off out for a bit, will pick this up later
<amithkk> Ok :)

<pleia2> I was out of the country for a couple weeks and my membership in ~irc-xubuntu-offtopic-ops and ~irc-xubuntu-ops expired, can I be re-added, please? :)
<pleia2> and perhaps while I'm asking for things, I got a member cloak a billion years ago as ubuntu/member/pleia2 - can it be updated to match my lp profile instead? so ubuntu/member/lyz
<JoseeAntonioR> pleia2: see /msg nickserv help set accountname
<pleia2> JoseeAntonioR: this isn't related to my accountname, it's the cloak
<JoseeAntonioR> pleia2: yep, and afaik the cloak is set as per accountname
<pleia2> JoseeAntonioR: I thought it was based on launchpad name
<JoseeAntonioR> let's wait an see what others say, then :)
<Pici> I have to attend a meeting in a minute, but we'll add you back to those teams.  Regarding the cloak, its normally based on account name, but I think we've made exceptions in the past.  I'll be back in an hour or so (ugh, meetings).
<pleia2> no problem, I can swap account names
<pleia2> done
<pleia2> thanks Pici
<cprofitt> pleia2: I believe the cloaks are awared by LP name, but if you have multiple user names registered to your freenode account I think the cloak follows you
<Tm_T> pleia2: I was actually waiting you to ask to be readded (:
<cprofitt> you want your cloak to change to show lyz though right?
<Tm_T> so I know its ok to do
<pleia2> thanks Tm_T
<cprofitt> you want the cloak not to read: 17:23 -!- pleia2 [~lyz@ubuntu/member/pleia2]
<cprofitt> but to read /member/lyz -- right?
<Tm_T> pleia2: readded, welcome back and congratulations (:

<pleia2> Tm_T: thank you! :)
<cprofitt> cool
<darthanubis> I was wondering how many years my ban from #ubuntuforums is set for?
<darthanubis> It has to have been at least 8 already

<Unit193> k1l: For core channels, though.

<jose> Fuchs: you mean Ubuntu membership or operator membership?
<Fuchs> Ubuntu IRC membership, on lolpad
<k1l> extend it yourself?
<Fuchs> not possible for this one, apparently
<Fuchs> at least the link in the mail puts me on a page where I can't extend it
<jose> https://launchpad.net/~fuchs/+expiringmembership/~ubuntu-irc-members should do it
<Fuchs> the mail had https://launchpad.net/~fuchs/+expiringmembership/ubuntu-irc-members   (without the ~) and that says it's private, hence me asking here.
<Fuchs> (and yours doesn't work at all)
<jose> oh, my fault
<jose> Fuchs: are you sure you're logged in?
<Fuchs> yes, it says I am logged in as Fuchs (logout)

<jose> tsimpson: nick isn't registered either
<jose> I'm 'stealing' it because the owner doesn't use it and doesn't want to drop it
<tsimpson> ah, well that would be a problem
<jose> yeah, and my cloak is an exception too
<jose> so it's a bit of a mess after several memos trying to get it dropped and it being undroppable as it's a nickserv account name
<Fuchs> not really, the project cloaks are not based on account/nicknames
<Fuchs> accountnames are droppable
<Fuchs> they just take "user seen" into consideration as well
<jose> not droppable if a secondary nick is being used
<Fuchs> yes, that.
<jose> :(
<Fuchs> also yay to the staffer who didn't double check that one  (the flags) :p

<ogra_> AlanBell, *tickle*
<ogra_> i'm looking for a way to get a bu bot into #snappy
<MooDoo> oooo er :D
<ogra_> *bug bot
<AlanBell> hi ogra_ I don't think I can do that now, and it really should be #ubuntu-snappy probably (or it is just a regular freenode channel, not a group channel)
<AlanBell> all depends on whether snappy is an upstream or part of ubuntu really
<ogra_> it is part of ubuntu but i dont think we want the ubuntu prefix for the channel name
<ogra_> (like there is no #ubuntu-launchpad)
<AlanBell> makes it a fraction harder for the IRCC to help you with the channel if it is outside the namespace
<AlanBell> but there is no huge reason why a bot can't be sent in, but I can't do it now
<ogra_> well, i can ask, but i doubt it will be chaned
<ogra_> *changed
<Pricey> (I don't think anyone would say launchpad is part of ubuntu...)
<ogra_> huh ?
<ogra_> there would be no ubuntu without launchpad ... it definitely is a massive part of ubuntu
<AlanBell> well launchpad wanted to be github
<Pricey> There would be no ubuntu without debian, but debian isn't part of ubuntu
<ogra_> no matter what it wanted or wants to be ...
<Pricey> They're separate projects.
<AlanBell> i.e. not project specific, and it was to a fair extent whilst OpenERP was on Launchpad
<ogra_> Pricey, but no matter if they are seprate or not, #launchpad has an ubottu ...
<AlanBell> that we can agree on :)
<ogra_> and i would like the same for #snappy
<ogra_> :)
<AlanBell> lubotu1: join #snappy
<Pricey> Oh sure, I was just commenting on the channel naming bit.
<AlanBell> nope, they don't listen to me :)
<ogra_> well, what can i do to get one there ... ?
<MooDoo> does anyone AlanBell ? ;)
 * Pici pokes some bots
<AlanBell> ogra_: someone with bot powers will be along later I imagine, Pici maybe

<Hund> Is it possible to change the username for my cloak?
<tsimpson> Hund: sure, you just get to get one of the IRCC (Pici hggdh elky Flannel Tm_T) to authorize freenode staff to make the change
 * Unit193 waves to tsimpson!

<hggdh> Hund: what would you want for your new cloak name?
<Unit193> Hund (account Lathund)
<tsimpson> (btw IRCC, you can add #snappy to the namespace by appropriate prodding of staff)
<hggdh> #snappy?
<hggdh> where did it come from?
<tsimpson> I'm reading backlog, there was a request to get a bug bot in there and a whole discussion about #snappy vs #ubuntu-snappy
<hggdh> bah, ogra, yes
<tsimpson> I don't really know much about it other than it's an ubuntu thing...
<hggdh> that's OK :-) -- wonder if we have staff here now
<hggdh> request sent
<tsimpson> I know a couple of staff idle here, but I'm sure there's a place where GCs can contact staff if you asked them about it

<Fuchs> hai dog, and congratulations on the cloak update
<Hund> Fuchs: Haha! Thanks.
<Hund> I happen to like dogs. My family have 6 dogs atm. :)
<Fuchs> aww. I was just wondering, I didn't know that it's the same word in Swedish as in German. Apparently it is. Ah well
<Hund> It is.
<Hund> I got well aware of it back in the days when I played COD. So many people talking German with me.. I never understood a word.

<alimj> my launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~alimirjamali

<redwolf> I have a question about my cloak. is it possible to change it to match my (recently changed) username?
<redwolf> thanks in advance
<Unit193> redwolf: Howdy.  After looking through #freenode, note that you may want to change your accountname too (/msg nickserv help set accountname)
<redwolf> I'm using an alias right now. reerved.
<redwolf> *reserved
<Unit193> I am aware.
<redwolf> so I need to get rid of my nickname and set my alias as my new nickname?
<Unit193> Nope, just figured I'd let you know that it'd be pretty easy to change the account from 'rafaellaguna' to 'redwolf', and anyone looking at NickServ info on your nick will see the former.

<fabio_cc> Hi. Is there any news about #lubuntu-it ?
<genii> My inbox has a warning for expiry of #lubuntu-offtopic operator status, but no renew link. It suggests contacting jussi ( who I haven't seen around for a while now ) or irc council. Any team admins around ?
<hggdh> genii: LP id, please
<genii> hggdh: https://launchpad.net/~mystic-scientist
<genii> Also, the expiration dates on the emails all are different, each says 6 days from the day the email was sent
<genii> ( so someone might want to examine whatever makes those)
<hggdh> genii: renewed. The team setup has been was changed for offer self-renewal as well
<genii> hggdh: Excellent, thanks :)
<hggdh> genii: your expiry was set for 2018-05-20, so -- in this case -- the 6 days was correct
<hggdh> (don't know about the other teams, though)
<genii> hggdh: Sunday "On 2018-05-19, 6 days from now" Yesterday "On 2018-05-21, 7 days from now" Today said 6 days with same expiry, but weird about the earlier
<genii> The first one from Saturday says 7 days with 19th as expiry
<hggdh> huh, yeah. This is code inside launchpad. Since you you have the emails, perhaps you would not mind takling with the folks ar #launchpad, or opening a question against LP on answers.launchpad.net
<hggdh> we ourselves have no control over the process except for setting an expiry (which defaults to 1 year), and whether you just receive an email to contact an admin, or are allowed to self-renew
<genii> Will do, thanks
<hggdh> for the record, your expire date was set to 2018-05-20
<genii> OK
<genii> It's filed in a bug report now against Launchpad
<genii> If anyone else has noticed the same issue, perhaps confirm the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1771406
<ubottu> Launchpad bug 1771406 in Launchpad itself "Wrong dates on team expiry emails" [Undecided,New]
<Flannel> genii: When did you invent a time machine, and why aren't you sharing?
<genii> Hah!
<genii> Pretty weird though, it says the day before and the day after but not the actual day it was set for
<Flannel> genii: I'll bet it's a timezone thing.
<Flannel> Or it could be different code that sends the initial email vs reminders, that deal with dates differently.
<Flannel> genii: My last multiple-reminder emails were in 2017, and they don't seem to do it.  Fun fact: In 2011, they switched from spelled out to numerals.
<genii> Maybe I'll let the next one run for 5-6 and see if it re-occurs
<genii> Unit193: Launchpad bug report is in backscroll here if someone later wants to add to it
<Unit193> Nothing I can do about LP except change settings.
<hggdh> and pray
<hggdh> I personaly have not got any expiry email for quite some time, so I cannot check on it
<Unit193> Most recent one I got, I waited until the next day because when I loaded up the renewal page it claimed I wasn't expired/up for renewal.
<hggdh> so there indeed be dragons
<Unit193> Almost would wonder if one of the clocks is off.
<hggdh> this would actually surprise me, the IS folks were usually quite careful with clocks
<hggdh> on the other hand... it does sounds a bit like a clock issue. But not by the amount of hours it would have taken for genii's emails

<el> you can probably find free cookies somewhere.
<Aaron> I have a question. I have an ubuntu email. But I can only receieve not send. theres been a loser sending me messages from my account
<teward> Aaron: you have to configure your mail client to adjust your From header to be from @ubuntu.com
<teward> there's no SMTP email server for @ubuntu.com *sending* directly.
<Aaron> teward: where do I put that?
<Aaron> I'm using evolution
<teward> i don't use evolution, I'd have to dig.
<Aaron> evolution gives me this error The reported error was MAIL from command failed; failled; Mailbox unavailable
<Aaron> I did create an alias like the wiki said.
<teward> it's also partly dependent on the mail configuration of the SMTP server being used, and I don't know how you configured it so...
<teward> i'd just be guessing at what the problem is on your system
<Aaron> on my smtp configuration i have server outbound.att.net security TLS on a dedicated port username: aaronfarias@att.net
<Aaron> where do I put the information from the ubuntu.com?
<Eickmeyer> Aaron: I simply added an alias to the account that I receive the ubuntu.com emails through. It was really easy.
<teward> [2019-05-15 15:28:37] <Eickmeyer> Aaron: I simply added an alias to the account that I receive the ubuntu.com emails through. It was really easy.
<teward> Aaron: ^
<teward> Eickmeyer just volunteered to help you :p
<Aaron> Eickmeyer: I did that.
<Aaron> but still Does not work.
<teward> keep in mind the remote SMTP server you're using can be configured to *not* allow you to send with other From addresses
<teward> so unless From matches your login on the server or a valid mailbox, it'll error.
<Aaron> I do get valid login.
<Aaron> when I send with my normal account.
<teward> i think you missed the point of my message
<teward> Login: foo@bar.baz PW: Valid   LOGINOK   From: foobar@ubuntu.com  DISALLOWED
<teward> ^ this can be a situation on some servers depending on their configs
<teward> and if that's the case in YOUR email provider's case you're out of luck there's no way to fix it
<Aaron> it does work with my ISP
<Eickmeyer> In my case, the address it sends through is a (grandfathered) G-Suite account which I have registered my ubuntu.com address with as an alias as well. That was the only way I could get it to work.
<Aaron> I get the error Mailbox unavailable dont know why
<Eickmeyer> Aaron: Unfortunately, some ISPs have limitations. A gmail account can do it, I know that for a fact.
<Aaron> let me try with my gmail account.
<Aaron> and see if that works.
<teward> but your ISP *might not* let you do that, anticipating that the From address be a valid Mailbox on their env.
<Aaron> in launchpad Do i need to put my gmail account?
<teward> Comcast has that type of restriction unless you have a Business Account with hosted mail
<teward> Aaron: no.
<Aaron> ok.
<teward> it wouldn't hurt but it's not a requisite no
<Aaron> I create it the gmail account. and Now I create it the alias.
<Aaron> I click on the timido@ubuntu.com
<Aaron> and it sents but the email that shows is my gmail email address not my ubuntu
<hggdh> Aaron: you have to set gmail to accept the 'timido@ubuntu.com' as a valid user
<Aaron> how?
<hggdh> Aaron: go to Settings, select the "Accounts and Import" tab, click on "Learn more" in the "Send mail as" box. Then do what they tell you to do
<hggdh> Aaron: I am supposing you set your Ubuntu email account to forward to gmail
<teward> hggdh: he's got his forwarding to an att.net address
<teward> both are in evolution i think though, but att.net is the one giving him problems
<teward> (I'm SO glad I run my own mail now lol)
<hggdh> the reason I "supposed" the Ubuntu email forwarded to gmail is that it will be painful to receive email in one account and answer from another. But that's their call
<teward> yep
<Aaron> and why ubuntu does not provide dns for email setup
<hggdh> because Ubuntu provides a forwarder, not an email server
<hggdh> common procedure. I, for exmaple, have a few forwarder services (from linux.com, Ubuntu, etc)
<Aaron> nothing works
<Aaron> ;*(
<Aaron> when I send with gmail I just get my google email
<hggdh> and you selected to send *from* your ubuntu.com email?
<Aaron> Yeah
<Aaron> I create it an alias with thunderbird
<Aaron> if I click with gmail add another email address you own
<Aaron> if I put timido@Ubuntu.com
<Aaron> is asking me for the smtp server username and password
<teward> no that's not using it as an alias, that's adding it as a second account, it gives you an option to use it as an alias or as an external SMTP account
<Aaron> How come
<Aaron> I'm getting this email from my ubuntu account
<Aaron> saying it was hack
<Aaron> I think now it works
<genii> Possibly the email was only a notification that a different device has been used to login
<Aaron> Yeah now it works
<hggdh> Aaron: if you d not use 2FA, consider using; also, it is highly probable that this "your account has been hacked" is nothing more than click-bait.
<hggdh> Aaron: I receive at least 3 of them every day
<Aaron> Now it works
<Aaron> but I cannot see my mail with evolution
<Aaron> I can only sent
<hggdh> this is a different problem, and one I/we cannot help you with
<Aaron> Nice
<Aaron> thunderbird works fine.
<Aaron> evolution is lacking off.

<tomreyn> there's a "ActivateYourLinu" user in #ubuntu who would like to be banned
<tomreyn> thanks for taking care of the house, housecat
<housecat> fwiw, issues in core channels (like #ubuntu) should go to -ops
<housecat> doesn't make much difference in this case 'cause i saw it from the K-line alerts, but yeah
<tomreyn> ok
<tomreyn> i didn't ever really get the distinction between the two channels.
<tomreyn> and here i can idle whereas i can't in -ops, so here's always more convenient
<tomreyn> but i understand the other channel is better.
<housecat> basically, -ops is for channel management issues in channels listed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/Scope (i.e. channels managed by the IRC team). this channel is for other IRC stuff, including issues in other channels that we might be able to help with, group contact requests, etc.
<housecat> s/other channels/other ubuntu channels/
<housecat> -irc got more use back when LoCos etc. were more of a thing
<tomreyn> i see. certainly a couple things could use restructuring / adjusting to the actual situation. but i can see how that's not something paid time will be spent on, and it's most likely not fun.
<housecat> yeah, i'm generally a fan of not having more channels than we need
<housecat> my available time for ubuntu irc stuff isn't that big right now, though. i actually have all the #ubuntu-* channels hidden in my client, but stuff pops back up when alarms start going off so i saw today's issue
