| PriceChild | somerville32, yeah... we kind of had a HUGE thing this weekend which put everything else on hold | 12:25 |
|---|---|---|
| somerville32 | Whats going on this weekend? | 12:26 |
| LjL | PriceChild: what are these issues anyway? | 12:26 |
| PriceChild | LjL, forums and wiki aren't compatible.... wiki is meant to be changing license... | 12:26 |
| PriceChild | Will help us move guides etc. | 12:26 |
| PriceChild | somerville32, we had basically a troll attack by the guys at modfree | 12:27 |
| PriceChild | oh and arnieboy issues | 12:27 |
| somerville32 | PriceChild, Do elaborate | 12:27 |
| somerville32 | What is "modfree"? | 12:27 |
| PriceChild | sl | 12:28 |
| PriceChild | somerville32, http://modfree.2.forumer.com/index.php | 12:28 |
| PriceChild | somerville32, they've hidden their "Ubuntu Forums" talk now so you can only get in if you request it... but its not nice | 12:28 |
| somerville32 | Whats the issue? | 12:29 |
| PriceChild | which one? | 12:29 |
| somerville32 | Ubuntu Talk | 12:29 |
| somerville32 | A forum dedicated to anything about Ubuntu. | 12:29 |
| PriceChild | not that one | 12:30 |
| PriceChild | as I say... its hidden | 12:30 |
| somerville32 | PriceChild, Why are they doing this? | 12:30 |
| somerville32 | Like... what is the issue? | 12:30 |
| somerville32 | Or "What is their issue"? | 12:30 |
| PriceChild | basically its a group of people who want to be able to say whatever they want | 12:30 |
| PriceChild | and that includes attacking other members and making jokes about the disabled | 12:30 |
| LjL | PriceChild: htats teribble | 12:31 |
| somerville32 | PriceChild, What is their side of the story? | 12:31 |
| PriceChild | they just think we moderate too much and should be able to speak their mind | 12:31 |
| === PriceChild tries to find a quote about himself | ||
| LjL | LjL is awesome, he's better than KDE -- Linus Torvalds | 12:33 |

| somerville32 | ":)"? | 12:37 |
| somerville32 | I think you guys are looking into it too hard :P | 12:37 |
| somerville32 | Maybe they like you? | 12:37 |
| somerville32 | Oh wait | 12:38 |
| somerville32 | I get it | 12:38 |
| somerville32 | Thats just out of context | 12:38 |
| somerville32 | The rest was too gruesome to share here | 12:38 |

| gnomefreak | Mez: were you able to find the 30gig lost? | 12:52 |
| LjL | tonyyarusso, bah, ikonia was probably right with saying that your not having a /dev/hdc didn't really have much bearing, from what i can understand | 12:53 |
| LjL | however i still don't quite like the general attitude | 12:53 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, working on it | 12:54 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: It sounded like he was saying there not being an hdc was unusual...hard to understand and follow anywya | 12:54 |
| gnomefreak | oh ok sorry but i tried with that issue and couldnt figure it out. i still think its caught up in cache or something. like copingit caused them to download or something | 12:55 |
| LjL | quite hard yes, since they didn't use nicknames for a few of the exchanges... but ikona never really said one *must* have an hdc - s/he just said that, *if* you have a /dev/hdc, then removing it shouldn't really survive a reboot - it'll come back | 12:56 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, it's probably just badly journalled... i've made him force an fsck on boot | 12:56 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: ah | 12:56 |
| gnomefreak | ah | 12:56 |
| LjL | at any rate... dunno, i think ikonia is not a troll, but sounds like s/he comes from other channels and should adjust to the kind of attitude we generally keep #ubuntu | 12:57 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, I was right | 12:58 |
| Mez | * Thehound666 has quit ("Leaving") | 12:58 |
| Mez | <Thehound666> strange. I got my space back but lost my xchat network settings | 12:58 |
| gnomefreak | what was it? | 12:58 |
| Mez | basdly journalled | 12:59 |
| gnomefreak | didnt we ba java | 12:59 |
| gnomefreak | ah | 12:59 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, it probably got f**ked up when he was copying , and the ext3 didnt update the inode table properly | 01:00 |
| Mez | forcing an fsck shoulda fixed tathtat | 01:00 |
| Mez | nothing to do with kubuntu | 01:00 |
| Mez | just linux | 01:00 |
| gnomefreak | ah ok | 01:00 |
| nalioth | gnomefreak: i have no clue what you are talking about. is java a user? | 01:02 |
| gnomefreak | nalioth: we seem to get alot of trolls using javauser as a name | 01:02 |
| nalioth | ahh | 01:03 |
| nalioth | gnomefreak: like that? | 01:04 |
| gnomefreak | yep :) i forgot the ? | 01:04 |
| gnomefreak | i set a wildcard *javauser* ban | 01:04 |
| gnomefreak | with the * | 01:04 |
| nalioth | gnomefreak: /whois the perp, for a better idea of what/how to ban | 01:05 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, that means their using a java based web client for IRC | 01:05 |
| gnomefreak | i did who is i must have looked at it wrong but yes that would be it Mez | 01:05 |
| Mez | http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#webchat | 01:06 |
| gnomefreak | well for now it should be fine i would think | 01:06 |
| LjL | well | 01:06 |
| somerville32 | gnomefreak, where did you ban *javauser*? | 01:06 |
| gnomefreak | kubutnu | 01:06 |
| gnomefreak | ack | 01:06 |
| gnomefreak | kubuntu | 01:06 |
| LjL | yesterday we had one guy coming here to complain that he was banned - that was fun, because he wasn't *really* a java user, he claimed he used that name to "hide" himself... or something | 01:07 |
| somerville32 | You do know that might ban a lot of *good* users since I'm assuming javausers is just a default for some java client | 01:07 |
| gnomefreak | somerville32: yep i do | 01:07 |
| gnomefreak | but since its abused most of time they can get a cloak or stop using it | 01:07 |
| LjL | well for that matter there's also good uses of web-to-IRC gateways, still i was banned on the one i'd tried | 01:08 |
| somerville32 | gnomefreak, Maybe make it a ban forward to a channel with info on how to fix the issue? | 01:08 |
| nalioth | somerville32: anyone who can't take the half second to put "john doe" . . . . | 01:08 |
| gnomefreak | wikipediagast was the first one i ever saw use the javausers gateway | 01:08 |
| LjL | nalioth: well, if they don't *realize* that's the reason they can't join, though... | 01:08 |
| gnomefreak | somerville32: its not a broken issue its something they dont need to do they choose to use it | 01:09 |
| LjL | perhaps a forward could actually be a decent idea | 01:09 |
| LjL | though i also suppose it would give us away somewhat | 01:09 |
| somerville32 | Whats wrong with using a java client? | 01:09 |
| gnomefreak | LjL: that would defeat the purpose of the ban | 01:09 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: being? | 01:09 |
| gnomefreak | somerville32: its been nothing but abused for a long time | 01:10 |
| gnomefreak | LjL: foward to channel to show how to get around it doesnt seem logical | 01:10 |
| gnomefreak | that would mean luck wikipediagast and others will just keep it up | 01:10 |
| somerville32 | IF they really want to bother you, don't you think they'd figure out how to get around it anyhow? | 01:11 |
| gnomefreak | somerville32: but why make it easy? | 01:11 |
| LjL | well on one hand it's claimed that it's easy enough to change one's name, and if you want to join you should bother doing that -- but on the other hand we stand that we should keep this "workaround" obscure and hope people don't know it | 01:11 |
| LjL | i'm not sure these go together logically | 01:11 |
| somerville32 | gnomefreak, Sounds like security via obscurity to me. | 01:11 |
| gnomefreak | somerville32: its like i ban you by name than i tell you all you have to do is change your name | 01:12 |
| nalioth | somerville32: there is NOTHING wrong with a java client, but one should put "john doe" instead of 'default user" | 01:12 |
| gnomefreak | the ban becomes usless and never should have been set | 01:12 |
| somerville32 | nalioth, right | 01:12 |
| somerville32 | And looking at the log of #kubuntu, it was't like luck was being overly disruptive. It doesn't take long to type /cs ban <nickname> | 01:13 |
| somerville32 | gnomefreak, Or are the other *javausers* even worse? | 01:13 |
| gnomefreak | somerville32: i banned him by hostmask but since most of the users abuse the java gateway same as tor is abused | 01:13 |
| apokryphos | yeah, we have a JavaUser@ ban in #ubuntu | 01:14 |
| gnomefreak | somerville32: this isnt something that was just today its been set in #ubuntu for a long time | 01:14 |
| gnomefreak | same with tor/gateway i believe is the ban | 01:15 |
| somerville32 | ok | 01:15 |
| somerville32 | :) | 01:15 |

| === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v Jucato] by ChanServ | ||
| gnomefreak | ty apokryphos that was the one i was thinking of | 01:16 |
| LjL | gnomefreak, i think you should prefix a ?= or * to that ident | 01:17 |
| gnomefreak | it has * | 01:17 |
| gnomefreak | *JavaUser@* | 01:18 |
| nalioth | gnomefreak: did you make a +d ban or a +b ? | 01:18 |
| LjL | gnomefreak, only for the nickname, but whois yourself or myself and look at the ident | 01:18 |
| somerville32 | +d | 01:18 |
| gnomefreak | +b | 01:18 |
| somerville32 | Err.. | 01:18 |
| gnomefreak | nalioth: already has the +d ban seet | 01:18 |
| gnomefreak | set | 01:18 |
| apokryphos | +d is real name -- something different | 01:18 |
| LjL | though gnomefreak, actually, i don't see an *ident* ban on JavaUser@* on #ubuntu | 01:18 |
| nalioth | i set a +d ban on Java?User in #kubuntu | 01:18 |
| LjL | ah no wait, me messed up with banlist, i guess it's there | 01:19 |
| gnomefreak | LjL: nalioth set +d Java?User and i set +b *JavaUser@* | 01:19 |
| LjL | hm well no it's still not =) | 01:19 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: yes, but i was saying that, on #ubuntu, we don't have the +b as far as i can see but only the +d | 01:20 |
| gnomefreak | what else would need to be banned? | 01:20 |
| gnomefreak | oh we had it at one time | 01:20 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: also, what you set was not *JavaUser@* but *!JavaUser@* -- that means any nickname, and any host, and an ident *exactly* matching "JavaUser" -- but i don't think you can have an ident like that | 01:20 |
| LjL | it'd be either n=JavaUser or i=JavaUser | 01:20 |
| LjL | so i think *!=?JavaUser@* (or just *!*JavaUser@*) would be the mask you want | 01:21 |
| LjL | err, swap = and ? | 01:21 |
| nalioth | ?=javauser | 01:22 |
| gnomefreak | it did that all i did was +b JavaUser@ it put the * in there | 01:22 |
| gnomefreak | are n and i the only 2 every used? | 01:22 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: ok, but what i'm saying is that won't work | 01:23 |
| LjL | i think so gnomefreak | 01:23 |
| LjL | not identified and identified | 01:23 |
| LjL | (which means with identd, mind you, not with services) | 01:23 |
| nalioth | gnomefreak: yes | 01:23 |
| gnomefreak | so just ban *!JavaUser@*? | 01:24 |
| gnomefreak | without the ? | 01:24 |
| gnomefreak | or use ? instead of ! | 01:24 |
| nalioth | gnomefreak: ? replaces any single charachter | 01:25 |
| nalioth | gnomefreak: ! is used to seperate fields in the identification | 01:25 |

| somerville32 | Oh look | 01:27 |
| somerville32 | Yipe | 01:27 |
| yipe | he called me a redneck, I'm allowed to say that i'm not! | 01:27 |
| gnomefreak | who banne dyipe? | 01:27 |
| yipe | I'm not banned, just muted | 01:28 |
| tonyyarusso | by me | 01:28 |
| gnomefreak | oh ok | 01:28 |
| yipe | he said I'm a redneck, I'm a liberal with a college education, hardly a redneck | 01:28 |
| tonyyarusso | And honestly, it will be off before you finish this conversation if no funny business happens | 01:28 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: an IRC mask is <nickname>!<ident>@hostname - the wildcard characters are "?" (matches any one character) and "*" (matches any number of characters), and in particular, for the ident Freenode uses these "n=" and "i=" prefixes | 01:28 |
| === tonyyarusso used /at | ||
| somerville32 | yipe: You told me you're 16 | 01:29 |
| yipe | also, I find it offensive that he called me crazed just because I disagree with him | 01:29 |
| yipe | What? I'm 23! | 01:29 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: other networks just use the bare ident if verified with identd, or prefix it with "~" if not verified -- but that's less than optimal, because to ban an ident no matter whether it's verified or not you have to use a "*" wildcard | 01:29 |
| gnomefreak | fixed | 01:29 |
| somerville32 | yipe: Or maybe it was 19? I remember you telling me about how you live with your mom and your step-dad is a jerk to you. | 01:29 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: with freenode's way you can make bans more specific by using the ? wildcard for specifying "ban this ident whether verified or not" | 01:29 |
| yipe | that part is true, I had to move to back in with my parents after I lost my job, shortly after starting college | 01:30 |
| yipe | but I'm 23 | 01:30 |
| yipe | I'm also upset that firststrike wasn't banned until after me | 01:30 |
| yipe | he started the subject, and he was the one with all the insults, I didn't say anything about him, I even conceded when he said something correct | 01:31 |
| gnomefreak | we start banning at z and work backwards | 01:31 |
| LjL | yipe, a break? you're seriously complaining about the *order* of bans? | 01:31 |
| gnomefreak | PriceChild: you seem to have split beryl-settings too i see a -simple | 01:31 |
| gnomefreak | LjL: thats how i read it | 01:32 |
| PriceChild | gnomefreak, indeed... I haven't used it yet... *me runs* | 01:32 |
| nalioth | yipe, chill and read your scrollback | 01:32 |
| yipe | LjL, we should have at least been muted together, | 01:32 |
| gnomefreak | PriceChild: its now updating/installing | 01:32 |
| gnomefreak | yipe: one at a time most scripts dont handle multi bans at one time | 01:33 |
| gnomefreak | and i thought you were muted | 01:33 |
| LjL | please review ImNotScrewedAnym's work, those of you with an ATI card (or a clue about all this) - http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (well, i suppose i should have told him the *Ubuntu* wiki, but anyway) | 01:33 |
| LjL | and, anyway, what wiki should this go to for a start? it comes from the forums | 01:33 |
| PriceChild | gnomefreak, that thing's pretty nice :) | 01:34 |
| gnomefreak | it is? | 01:34 |
| gnomefreak | is it added to setting-manager? | 01:34 |
| PriceChild | gnomefreak, different app | 01:34 |
| gnomefreak | oh cool | 01:34 |
| gnomefreak | when im done untaring crap i will restart session | 01:34 |
| LjL | yipe, you know ops are humans, and when they read the mess that people do in channels, they can have a hard time getting it right immediately? | 01:35 |
| LjL | gee if now i should be careful about banning the first offender first - or the worst offender first - or whatever, i might as well give it up | 01:35 |
| yipe | if they haven't read what I've said, they shouldn't take action against me | 01:35 |
| LjL | false | 01:36 |
| Mez | regarding the javauser thing | 01:36 |
| nalioth | yipe you're unbanned | 01:36 |
| Mez | I think it's bad... | 01:36 |
| LjL | they don't have to have read the *entire* 10000-lines long backscroll | 01:36 |
| yipe | I see that, thanks nalioth | 01:36 |
| Mez | some people use it for a reason. | 01:36 |
| Mez | Surely javauser things should be set on a per-abuse case? | 01:36 |
| yipe | LjL, NOTHING I said was out of line | 01:36 |
| Mez | not a global ban on anyone using Java ? | 01:36 |
| yipe | I didn't even stoop to insults like my pistol-packing adversary did | 01:36 |
| Mez | I think that excluding users who use a certainclient is wrong | 01:37 |
| LjL | yipe, at the very least, i can see you talking about politics like mad. as usual, that is. | 01:37 |
| tonyyarusso | If I may interject, the intention of the mutes was to shift the conversation, via the other people who had better things to talk about, and was done on an whoever-says-something-on-that-topic-next basis. And now we're talking about office suites and movies. | 01:37 |
| === PriceChild understands why the ban was made on cgi:irc clients etc. But wishes it wasn't. It was my only way of getting on irc for several months and not being allowed into #ubuntu wasn't fun | ||
| LjL | that you might not have been the only one, counts for nothing at all | 01:37 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, esepscially seeing as the bans you've set are wrong anyways | 01:37 |
| gnomefreak | Mez: people use tor for many reasons too but most is for abuse | 01:38 |
| gnomefreak | Mez: no they arent they work fine hes not there is he | 01:38 |
| gnomefreak | :) | 01:38 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, you set | 01:38 |

| Mez | you would want | 01:38 |
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: When did that ban happen? I was on #ubuntu via cgi:irc like last week. | 01:38 |
| gnomefreak | i removed that | 01:38 |
| Mez | +b *!?=JavaUser | 01:39 |
| Mez | +b *!?=JavaUser@* | 01:39 |
| Mez | =? wont match anything | 01:39 |
| Mez | nor will Javauser | 01:39 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, it was around september ish | 01:39 |
| gnomefreak | you removed it not me | 01:39 |
| tonyyarusso | yipe: You always have /msg to defend yourself. | 01:39 |
| Mez | it's n= or i= | 01:39 |
| LjL | tonyyarusso: it was removed (not manually) due to a freenode crash, and never restored | 01:39 |
| Mez | for example, I'm | 01:39 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: aaah | 01:39 |
| PriceChild | tonyyarusso, before the uni network staff taught me how to tunnel via ssh ;) | 01:39 |

| Mez | n=Mez@ubuntu/members/mez | 01:39 |
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: My uni won't let me use ssh either. | 01:39 |
| nalioth | Mez: the java?user ban does not affect anyone with half a second to change their default user name | 01:39 |
| gnomefreak | should have been a ? | 01:40 |
| yipe | tonyyarusso, that works for the person who said it, but it doesn't clear my name to the 129 people who saw what was said against me and never saw a rebuttal! | 01:40 |
| Mez | nalioth, except in a lot of Java clients, you cant change your name | 01:40 |
| LjL | gnomefreak, it should be "?=" instead of "=?" -- as the ? matches the initial "n" or "i" | 01:40 |
| gnomefreak | i know i screwed up pasting | 01:40 |
| gnomefreak | coping | 01:40 |
| tonyyarusso | yipe: The other 129 people don't care, frankly. | 01:40 |
| === Mez also wonders what happened to his identd | ||
| LjL | gnomefreak: well no, it was my typo | 01:40 |
| yipe | tonyyarusso, frankly, I don't care what you think they care about, if someone is bad-mouthing me I shouldn't be the one muted | 01:41 |
| Mez | ^portlookup ident | 01:41 |
| LjL | yipe: no, you should be the one calling the ops and *not* replying in the same vein | 01:41 |
| LjL | or talking about politics for that matter | 01:41 |
| gnomefreak | is this still going? | 01:41 |
| gnomefreak | he was unbanned | 01:41 |
| LjL | parently | 01:41 |
| yipe | I should be able to defend myself, in public, the same forum where the insults were first uttered | 01:41 |
| gnomefreak | go back and chat have a good time | 01:41 |
| LjL | yipe: well sorry but that's not the way it works | 01:42 |
| yipe | gnomefreak, bad opping ruins a good time | 01:42 |
| yipe | no LjL that's not how it works, that's just what happened | 01:42 |
| LjL | i would *love* to defend myself when people badmouth me, and keep it up for half an hour... and, well, i sometimes do, but i shouldn't. i should get muted if i do | 01:42 |
| nalioth | yipe, please forgive us, we are only human | 01:42 |
| yipe | you don't mute the one being slandered, you mute the person saying it | 01:42 |
| gnomefreak | yipe: fighting moot points is wrong and you commented to the other user as he did you | 01:42 |
| apokryphos | yipe: no, that's not how it should work. Discussion on operator actions is offtopic in other channels. | 01:42 |
| gnomefreak | you were both wrong both muted both unmutted | 01:42 |
| tonyyarusso | yipe: I muted whoever kept talking. The end. | 01:42 |
| yipe | apokryphos, we're not talking about an op | 01:42 |
| gnomefreak | yipe > gnomefreak, bad opping ruins a good time | 01:43 |
| apokryphos | yipe: that includes defending yourself | 01:43 |
| gnomefreak | your not? | 01:43 |
| yipe | gnomefreak, in the chan I wasn't, he said that talking abotu ops in other chans was offtopic | 01:43 |
| yipe | but that's not what happened, I hadn't spoken to tonyyarusso at all until he muted me | 01:44 |
| yipe | and when I wanted to complain about his actions I brought it here | 01:45 |

| nalioth | LjL: it's a channel with an informative topic | 01:52 |
| yipe | is it wrong to mute someone who is being slandered? That's different | 01:52 |
| LjL | nalioth: hm i joined it and there was no topic set... | 01:52 |
| somerville32 | yipe: From the sounds of it, it wasn't used to rebuke you | 01:52 |
| nalioth | yipe, somerville32 can you take this somewhere else? yipe, you are accomplishing nothing here | 01:53 |
| nalioth | LjL: sorry, i'm brain-frazzed atm. the CHANNEL NAME says it all | 01:53 |
| yipe | nalioth, I'm accomplishing nothing because the ops never admit when they're wrong | 01:53 |
| somerville32 | yipe: And it isn't our fault if it happened at inconvenient time for you - but we all apologize for that. | 01:53 |
| somerville32 | nalioth: This seems like an appropriate channel for discussion of op abuse. | 01:54 |
| yipe | somerville32, you weren't involved, I thank you for your concern, but it means nothing coming from anyone but the person who did it | 01:54 |
| LjL | aka bangingyourheadagainstthewallrepeatedlyuntilithurts | 01:54 |
| tonyyarusso | Sounds like op inconvenience rather than abuse to me. | 01:54 |
| nalioth | yipe: private message works | 01:54 |
| gnomefreak | its been played out already the mutes were lifted and the ops appoligized | 01:55 |
| yipe | gnomefreak, not the only op that matters | 01:55 |
| gnomefreak | yipe: the only op that did something did afaik only tonyyarusso muted you and the other person | 01:56 |
| gnomefreak | - 2nd did | 01:56 |
| tonyyarusso | And I believe I've given my reasoning (which incidentally, was accepted politely by FirstStrike) | 01:56 |
| yipe | of course he accepted it politely, he got away with slander | 01:56 |
| gnomefreak | ok ban them both for 24 hours? will that fix it? | 01:56 |
| gnomefreak | see its over | 01:57 |
| yipe | gnomefreak, no he didn't | 01:57 |
| gnomefreak | noone got banned everyone is unmuted | 01:57 |
| gnomefreak | yipe: neither did you that was my point | 01:57 |
| gnomefreak | it was a 2 minute mute | 01:57 |
| gnomefreak | most ar 10 minimum | 01:57 |
| gnomefreak | are* | 01:58 |
| yipe | I'm talking about tonyyarusso, you said he apologized, he didn't, nalioth and somerville32 did, they weren't involved | 01:58 |
| apokryphos | yipe: what do you find problematic about tonyyarusso's reasoning? | 01:58 |
| yipe | the ban itself was not incorrect, what was wrong was leaving the other person un-muted to slander me while I could not defend myself | 01:59 |
| === gnomefreak will brb smoke maybe 4 minutes can we please get back to our lives by than? i will read answer whne i return if one is left | ||
| somerville32 | yipe: Tonyyarusso, I'm sure, also apologizes for muting at an inconvenient time for you. However, tonyyarusso did the right thing regardless and can't be faulted. | 01:59 |
| yipe | somerville32, if he'd say that himself, it would mean a lot | 02:00 |
| yipe | again, I thank you for your concern, but it wasn't you | 02:00 |
| apokryphos | ok, so you're not arguing about an action taken against you, but inaction taken against another user | 02:00 |
| somerville32 | apokryphos, or the delay between | 02:01 |
| apokryphos | there is a difference | 02:01 |
| yipe | the unfortunate simultaneity of the two | 02:01 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, why bother with real life when the internet is so much more interesting | 02:01 |
| LjL | <yipe> I'm also upset that firststrike wasn't banned until after me <LjL> yipe, a break? you're seriously complaining about the *order* of bans? <yipe> LjL, we should have at least been muted together, | 02:01 |
| yipe | that's correct | 02:02 |
| tonyyarusso | I don't really see the need for #ubuntu-offtopic to be the forum for "defending your honor" or anything like that. My concern is that the conversation shifts. What that means for the emotions of the people involved isn't high on my priorities. Now, that may seem cold, but it's part of the separation of op and user. As a user, I feel bad about it - and for many parts of that conversation, agree with you. But under my op hat, none of | 02:02 |
| LjL | ... the rest of that sentence fits in a line | 02:02 |

| somerville32 | yipe: Ok | 02:04 |
| somerville32 | yipe: Now you're pushing it | 02:04 |
| LjL | a little | 02:04 |
| tonyyarusso | yipe: All right, assuming I understand this correctly, here goes: While I still stand by my mute, a) it would have been better for a slew of about 6 of them all at once, but this is what I get for giving second chances. b) I'm sorry you wanted to say something back and couldn't. He was out of line as well. | 02:04 |

| tonyyarusso | LjL: People I know to be intelligent | 02:12 |
| LjL | just for a while | 02:12 |
| LjL | i'd at once add kaot and jrib then, though they probably couldn't care less about it all | 02:13 |
| gnomefreak | LjL: im gonna agree with you its been fairly lax lately and alot fo things that are said should be atleast a mute | 02:13 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: That was re apokryphos' +i, not to here, btw | 02:13 |

| somerville32 | Has anyone thought of making -offtopic unmoderated? | 02:31 |
| Mez | LjL, I say we set up a completely unmoderated channel | 02:31 |
| Mez | ##ubuntu-offtopic | 02:31 |
| Mez | and if peopl;e cant obey - forward them there | 02:31 |
| Hobbsee | somerville32: it is unmoderated. there's no +m set | 02:31 |
| Mez | then they can do what they want | 02:31 |
| LjL | Mez: i don't like that to be honest | 02:31 |
| LjL | it might make sense, but i just don't like it as guts feelings | 02:32 |
| gnomefreak | Mez: would open it up for fights | 02:32 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, so ? | 02:32 |
| Mez | noone would be in there | 02:32 |
| somerville32 | gnomefreak, Exactly | 02:32 |
| somerville32 | And it won't be our problem | 02:32 |
| Mez | it'd be regged.. | 02:32 |
| gnomefreak | some people (like yipe) are softer than others | 02:32 |
| Mez | but we'd have a topic saying "This isnt our problem" | 02:32 |
| LjL | somerville32: well but then if it's not our problem, it doesn't have to be our channel | 02:32 |
| Mez | if you dont like it here - leave | 02:32 |
| somerville32 | Right! :) | 02:32 |
| gnomefreak | and than they leave all together | 02:32 |
| LjL | everyone - yipe or whatever - is quite free to set one up | 02:33 |
| somerville32 | Lets get rid of #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:33 |
| somerville32 | :D | 02:33 |
| LjL | no way | 02:33 |
| gnomefreak | but lets say its someone that really helps out in #ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| gnomefreak | thats not fair to that persont hat is there for some other topic | 02:33 |
| somerville32 | freenode social could be the new offtopic channel | 02:33 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, I'm saying - we leave ##ubuntu-offtopic open but refer people who want to disobey the rules to ##u-ot | 02:34 |
| Mez | so it's two channels | 02:34 |
| Mez | one where we moderate | 02:34 |
| Mez | one which is "unofficial" and "use at own riskQW | 02:34 |
| LjL | no really, i think the first step really should be making -offtopic quite strict for a while. i really *don't* intend this as a long-term measure -- i'm more than happy, generally, to close an eye or two for small things on -offtopic -- i just believe it might weed out some of the mess | 02:34 |
| somerville32 | LjL: I think we'd need more ops in -offtopic then to make it consistent | 02:34 |
| gnomefreak | not really there are alot of us | 02:35 |
| somerville32 | gnomefreak: I'm on almost 24/7 | 02:35 |
| Mez | gnomefreak, how many actually in there | 02:35 |
| somerville32 | There are large periods of time where they is no one | 02:35 |
| LjL | somerville32, dunno. when *i* am looking at -offtopic, i often do *not* take any actions *even if* i know they're against policies, because i fear things such as exactly what just happened with yipe | 02:35 |
| somerville32 | And lots of them don't even visit | 02:35 |
| LjL | i think the ops are there but just tend to close too many eyes right now | 02:35 |
| somerville32 | LjL: *nods* | 02:35 |
| gnomefreak | well i say stop closing you eyes to most of the stuff and more ops arent really needed | 02:36 |
| Mez | 7 ops in there I see that do anything | 02:36 |
| === gnomefreak here most if not all day | ||
| gnomefreak | Hobbsee: is here at night here | 02:36 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: that's what we've been saying... and technically we could just do this without asking anybody, since it's just enforcing the *existing* rules | 02:36 |
| gnomefreak | Seveas: and nalioth are pop ins | 02:36 |
| Hobbsee | gnomefreak: point | 02:36 |
| LjL | but i'd just have n's and s's opinion first | 02:36 |
| somerville32 | I stopped visiting #u-offtopic because the state was so poor and there was no one around usually to fix it | 02:36 |
| gnomefreak | LjL: yes but the meeting we just had was all about lossening up the rules a bit thats why i said ask them to make sure | 02:37 |
| LjL | gnomefreak: yeah, we're saying the same thing :) | 02:37 |
| gnomefreak | yep | 02:37 |
| gnomefreak | somerville32: we were there just decided to look away but we are gonna stop that (would like to get all ops on board so ther eis no confusion) | 02:38 |
| somerville32 | gnomefreak, No, seriously | 02:38 |
| somerville32 | I tried to hunt people down | 02:38 |
| somerville32 | And it happened night after night | 02:38 |
| LjL | i know. | 02:38 |
| gnomefreak | night where? | 02:38 |
| LjL | between 2-3 o'clock CET, there's *always* the daily political/religious flamewar | 02:39 |
| somerville32 | Well... early morning for me | 02:39 |
| LjL | it's as sure as the sun rising | 02:39 |
| === somerville32 nods. | ||
| gnomefreak | night here theroputic and hobbsee are online its thier day time | 02:39 |
| Hobbsee | night gnomefreak | 02:39 |
| === Hobbsee isnt watching | ||
| gnomefreak | im here around 5am EST | 02:39 |
| gnomefreak | lol Hobbsee :) | 02:39 |
| Hobbsee | LjL: what's CET in real time? | 02:39 |
| somerville32 | -5 | 02:39 |
| LjL | Hobbsee: it's UTC+1 | 02:39 |
| somerville32 | Oh | 02:39 |
| somerville32 | CET | 02:39 |
| somerville32 | Righ right | 02:40 |
| LjL | central europe time | 02:40 |
| gnomefreak | EST == -5 | 02:40 |
| somerville32 | EST is -5 :P | 02:40 |
| somerville32 | gnomefreak, I'm AST | 02:40 |
| gnomefreak | -4 for 6 months | 02:40 |
| somerville32 | Thats -4 | 02:40 |
| Hobbsee | ah right | 02:40 |
| somerville32 | (and -3 for some months) | 02:40 |
| somerville32 | So I'm only an hour ahead of you gnomefreak | 02:40 |
| gnomefreak | yep | 02:40 |
| tonyyarusso | The problem with an unregged ##ubuntu-offtopic is that it's still in our namespace, and thus our reputation and our responsibility. | 02:40 |
| somerville32 | Right | 02:41 |
| gnomefreak | the ## is known as unofficial | 02:41 |
| LjL | tonyyarusso: yeah... and if we aren't going to touch it, then we should it even be us creating it? | 02:41 |
| gnomefreak | but i agree | 02:41 |
| somerville32 | Lets just have a forward for #ubuntu-offtopic to a non-ubuntu offtopic channel like freenode social | 02:41 |
| gnomefreak | most of us may not even be ops in there | 02:41 |
| somerville32 | lol | 02:41 |
| somerville32 | It would save us lots of head-aches, I thinks | 02:41 |
| LjL | maybe, but really i'm not giving up -offtopic. it can be the place for a lot of nice technical conversations *at times* | 02:42 |
| tonyyarusso | somerville32: #off-topic would be a better candidate than #freenode-social though | 02:42 |
| somerville32 | LjL: I don't think we'll lose that though | 02:42 |
| somerville32 | But wait | 02:43 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: Agreed | 02:43 |
| nalioth | #ubuntu-offtopic is not going anywhere | 02:43 |
| somerville32 | The issue isn't that we're taking up too much time opping it | 02:43 |
| somerville32 | The issue is that it is a displeasure for us too | 02:43 |
| somerville32 | Some of the people are making it un-enjoyable for others | 02:43 |
| tonyyarusso | Well, that varies. | 02:43 |
| tonyyarusso | I enjoy lots of things that happen there still. | 02:43 |
| LjL | nalioth: we were just talking. anyway, you's one of the two we were kind of waiting for: what do you think of enforcing rules quite strictly in #ubuntu-offtopic, just for a while, and putting such a message in the topic, and using the following factoid? | 02:44 |
| LjL | !stop | 02:44 |
| ubotu | NOTICE - Please stop this discussion NOW. See !offtopic for things that are inappropriate to discuss in this channel. Insisting will result in actions being taken. | 02:44 |
| tonyyarusso | But, it has gone downhill in the last year. | 02:44 |
| nalioth | there is too much 'back seat driving' going on amongst us lately by folks who have little experience | 02:44 |
| === somerville32 is just throwing around ideas. | ||
| === tonyyarusso hides from that comment.... | ||
| LjL | nalioth: i simply *fear* taking actions in -offtopic, just because of the sort of thing that just happened with yipe. and i think quite a few of us just tend to close many eyes in -offtopic for similar reasons | 02:45 |
| Hobbsee | nalioth: strongly agreed. | 02:45 |
| somerville32 | nalioth, That analogy is rather ineffective since our team really lacks any real structure or organization currently. | 02:45 |
| Hobbsee | nalioth: i tried to state that before, it didnt work though. | 02:45 |
| LjL | on one hand, it's probably *good*, in general, to not be too strict in there. but for a period of time, i think it would benefit the channel to just agree to be quite strict | 02:45 |
| nalioth | somerville32: you are an #xubuntu* op. | 02:45 |
| somerville32 | nalioth, Yes, thats correct. | 02:46 |
| nalioth | i don't see you having any input about #ubuntu* channels you do not operate in. | 02:46 |
| somerville32 | nalioth, oh... | 02:47 |
| somerville32 | So we're segregating things now? | 02:47 |
| nalioth | somerville32: will you be affected if we take shifts in #ubuntu-offtopic for operator coverage? | 02:47 |
| Hobbsee | nalioth: particularly bitching about the way things work, or dont, in #ubuntu* | 02:47 |
| nalioth | you are here so if someone comes into this channel with a beef about #xubuntu* | 02:47 |
| Hobbsee | nalioth: rather than doing something productive | 02:47 |
| somerville32 | nalioth, That is part of why I am here, yes. | 02:48 |
| somerville32 | nalioth, I think that if I was discussing policy about the Xubuntu channels, that I would welcome input from other members of our team. | 02:49 |
| somerville32 | nalioth: If you're implying that I'm not welcome to do so for Ubuntu's channels, please state so. | 02:49 |
| nalioth | there are a few people who don't have much current experience who are on the ops lists | 02:50 |
| nalioth | and they come in and do what they "USED" to do, but isn't much good any more due to changing situations | 02:51 |
| tonyyarusso | somerville32: As a thought, it may be a valid consideration that it's a channel you neither op in or, possibly more importantly, even visit anymore, which would mean you have less understanding of the environment through no real fault of your own, but just circumstances. True? | 02:51 |
| nalioth | there are folks who have little experience operating a channel, but have LOTS of opinions on how others operate | 02:51 |
| somerville32 | tonyyarusso, I don't think it has changed much since the other week. | 02:51 |
| tonyyarusso | somerville32: Yeah, I don't know how long you've been gone, nor how long you were in before that. | 02:52 |
| LjL | *cough* what about my suggestion for a [temporary] stricter application of rules in -offtopic, and explicit stating so to the users, if that can be answered by a simple "yes" or "no" nalioth? | 02:53 |
| gnomefreak | lol | 02:53 |
| gnomefreak | +1 from me | 02:53 |
| nalioth | why don't we just start enforcing the rules as we see infractions? it seems that we've gotten away from that | 02:54 |
| LjL | nalioth: that's the idea, yes. but we felt that we would just ask you and seveas first, even though rationally it's just a matter of enforcing already existing rules | 02:54 |
| tonyyarusso | nalioth: I think the idea is to give some warning before invading | 02:55 |
| LjL | well, that too. at least i'd do that | 02:55 |
| tonyyarusso | And, since folks are theoretically supposed to read the topic, a topic warning would be sufficient notice really. | 02:55 |
| PriceChild | LjL, Your idea makes it seem that people are scared to enforce the rules... I still feel that everyone here needs to back their fellow ops up a LOT more. | 02:55 |
| LjL | it's just gone a bit to far imho for us to pretend that it's "always been like this" | 02:55 |
| nalioth | on an infraction, friendily /notice or /msg the infractor | 02:55 |
| LjL | PriceChild, no matter what, i *am* scared of that in -offtopic. | 02:56 |
| tonyyarusso | That works too. | 02:56 |
| PriceChild | LjL, Because people complain? | 02:56 |
| tonyyarusso | nalioth: Oh, on a random note - could you share your nice little /say aliases with me some time? | 02:56 |
| gnomefreak | PriceChild: because of what happened with yipe. its not scared so much as it is dont wan tto deal with it | 02:56 |
| PriceChild | gnomefreak, yeah scared's the wrong word... | 02:57 |
| LjL | nalioth, won't work. too many people are involved, and i hardly even know who're the main culprits, or even *can understand it*. see yipe's reaction to tonyyarusso simply... *banning him BEFORE the other guy*. so, i'd really like to use, much more often than we do right now, a policy of "DISCUSSION ENDS HERE" and bans follow if people keep on | 02:57 |
| PriceChild | gnomefreak, but its the same kind of idea. I really think you guys need to become a real team and stick up for each other | 02:57 |
| LjL | PriceChild: because people complain, and especially because yipe complains, and it becomes a mess, if you add that we ops also start complaining to one another - as as a matter of fact we're unfortunately doing | 02:58 |
| gnomefreak | PriceChild: i agree 100% and most of us do | 02:58 |
| PriceChild | This weekend was a bit of a turning point for the forums... | 02:58 |
| PriceChild | We finally put our foot down and got rid of several "mod free" trolls and arnieboy who had been annoying us for a looong time but were too scared to do anything about. | 02:59 |
| PriceChild | I hate to see ops not wanting to enforce the (imo common sense and decency) rules because no-one will help them. | 03:02 |
| LjL | so let's have a turning point in offtopic too please, but don't just say "let's pretend nothing ever turned" - let's just *agree* to enforce things strictly for a while, and be a little consistent | 03:02 |
| PriceChild | Be unanimous in this... | 03:02 |
| LjL | if i just start banning for the slightest thing, and the other 10 ops don't, that'll just be inconsistency that will no nobody any good | 03:02 |
| LjL | s/no/do/ | 03:02 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: I'm with you on it. We'd have to tell a few people when we see them of course. | 03:03 |
| LjL | well. perhaps i better just post this on the ML | 03:03 |
| PriceChild | Does everyone agree? | 03:04 |
| tonyyarusso | And, probably just ignore all of the "why didn't so and so get a whatever" whining. We'll address _your_ ban/mute/remove only. | 03:04 |
| LjL | PriceChild: i mean, post as to see if everyone agrees | 03:04 |
| PriceChild | +1 tonyyarusso | 03:04 |
| tonyyarusso | PriceChild: We'll see after a ML post | 03:04 |
| PriceChild | ok | 03:04 |
| gnomefreak | do it let a vote start and go from there i would like to see how many are up to it and are not up to it | 03:04 |
| PriceChild | And how about a CoC/irc guidelines link in the -offtopic topic just as a little reminder | 03:04 |
| PriceChild | as far as i'm aware that channel isn't exempt... | 03:04 |
| LjL | PriceChild: i'm definitely for having some reminder in the topic | 03:04 |
| gnomefreak | no its not exempt | 03:05 |
| LjL | whether it's the coc, guidelines, or as i said a "we're gonna be stricter" friendly notice, i don't know | 03:05 |
| PriceChild | make a point of it :) | 03:05 |
| tonyyarusso | mmmm, yipe took that opportunity, this could be fun again already | 03:05 |

| Mez | Columba? | 08:02 |
| mneptok | http://www.columbamail.org/drupal/ | 08:02 |
| mneptok | i'm 90% sure i'm switching for work e-mail. i had been subjecting myself to Evolution for the Main dogfooding, but sweet Jesus i loathe it. | 08:06 |
| === Amaranth has all mail forwarding to gmail | ||
| Amaranth | i gave up on trying to find a desktop mail app that didn't suck | 08:07 |
| mneptok | BeOS had e-mail right, even with it's non-standard mail store | 08:08 |
| mneptok | 1 file per e-mail. all headers and content are meta-data of the MIME type | 08:09 |
| Amaranth | 1 file per email is what you need for tracker :) | 08:10 |
| mneptok | for what? Tracker? | 08:10 |
| Amaranth | yeah, for search | 08:11 |
| Amaranth | isn't that what BeOS's Tracker was for? | 08:11 |
| mneptok | Tracker was the file manager | 08:11 |
| Amaranth | I thought that's where the new one got it's name | 08:11 |
| mneptok | (i.e. Nautilus) | 08:11 |
| Amaranth | ah | 08:11 |
| mneptok | but yes, it had hooks for the filesystem to do queries. | 08:12 |
| mneptok | when i wonder how Novell could ever smoke enough crack to sign on with Microsoft i fire up Evolution. | 08:13 |
| mneptok | suddenly, it all makes sense. | 08:14 |
| tonyyarusso | mneptok: what are your thoughts on TB? | 08:14 |

| LjL | Seveas: i guess we probably don't, unless it *gets* used often enough to warrant a factoid deploring its use | 08:04 |
| jenda | Seveas: or, include one that doesn't have the link at all... but have a factoid. | 08:04 |
| somerville32 | It answers a lot of questions off the bat | 08:04 |

| somerville32 | jenda: Some users don't know how to find that info | 08:05 |

| jenda | Seveas: no easier way? | 08:09 |
| Seveas | somerville32, lovely | 08:09 |
| Seveas | I hope you thwacked his butt with a big bointy hobbsee of doom | 08:09 |
| somerville32 | He apparently has logs that prove that Jenda and Mez were flooding his IRC server. He sent them to me via e-mail but I haven't had a chance to review them. | 08:10 |
| jenda | somerville32: you don't have to, we've all confessed, I think ;) | 08:10 |
| somerville32 | Ah. | 08:10 |
| Seveas | heh | 08:10 |
| Seveas | bad boys | 08:10 |
| jenda | yep | 08:10 |
| LjL | guys... guys... i'm wordless | 08:10 |
| Seveas | as ops you really shouldn't do that | 08:10 |
| jenda | I know. | 08:10 |
| === jenda isn't proud. Won't ever do it again. | ||
| Seveas | and you as freenode staff definitely not | 08:11 |
| === somerville32 was hoping that Mez and Jenda didn't actually do it. | ||
| somerville32 | :/ | 08:11 |
| jenda | heh | 08:11 |
| === Seveas is rather disappointed | ||
| jenda | I understand. | 08:12 |
| jenda | (and I apologize) | 08:12 |
| === jenda stopped as soon as he realised that it wasn't exactly the best thing to do. | ||
| somerville32 | Mez told me he didn't do anything malicious | 08:14 |
| jenda | Well, it's not like we killed him. We pasted bits. | 08:14 |
| === jenda might've pasted about a page of text | ||
| somerville32 | Mez certainly didn't disclose what he did when enquired | 08:15 |
| jenda | I don't know what he did exactly. | 08:15 |
| jenda | I don't think it was all him, either. | 08:15 |
| somerville32 | Who else do you think was participating? | 08:15 |
| jenda | (all mez) | 08:15 |
| jenda | No idea | 08:15 |
| jenda | I could check the log, if you insisted. | 08:16 |
| jenda | I'd greatly prefer not pointing a finger, though :) | 08:16 |
| jenda | I don't think it's worth a witch hunt, really, and I believe they'll admit it, anyway. | 08:17 |
| somerville32 | This is certainly an interesting revelation | 08:18 |
| somerville32 | I know I personally appreciate your honesty though | 08:18 |
| jenda | I don't see it as a really big deal. It's definitely non-CoC, but wasn't too serious, and he was one of the worst trolls I've seen in a long while. | 08:19 |
| jenda | I understand others are of different opinions, and I'll accept whatever it implies. | 08:20 |

| Amaranth | jenda: 3 of the 4 people i recognized from the long have admitted to it, he shows up in the log too | 08:37 |
| Amaranth | s/long/log/ | 08:37 |
| jenda | funky, I can't find the log here. | 08:39 |
| somerville32 | jenda: We have the server logs. | 08:39 |
| Amaranth | Personally what I'm most upset about is the lopsided punishments being handed out | 08:41 |
| somerville32 | Amaranth, Yes and the most ironic part about the entire thing is that they contacted the ISP to report *Malt's* misbehaviour. | 08:41 |
| jenda | still can't find it, weird. | 08:42 |
| Amaranth | I yell at people on IRC and get in big trouble, you all do something that I'm pretty sure is a felony and get a slap on the wrist | 08:42 |
| jenda | Amaranth: it was no way that serious. | 08:42 |
| somerville32 | jenda: How so? | 08:43 |
| Amaranth | And make me look stupid because I told malt there was no way one of you could have done such a thing | 08:43 |
| jenda | Amaranth: hm, I'm really sorry. | 08:43 |
| jenda | It was just plain stupid, that's for sure. | 08:43 |
| jenda | not even bip stored the log, dammit. | 08:46 |
| somerville32 | I'm just completely shocked. | 08:46 |
| jenda | somerville32: could you please forward it to me? | 08:46 |
| somerville32 | jenda: Sure. I'll do it in a bit when I get a chance. | 08:48 |
| jenda | ok | 08:48 |
| somerville32 | Did apokryphos take part? | 08:48 |
| jenda | I don't think so. | 08:49 |
| jenda | somerville32: grep the log for Pricey, though - I'm quite sure he was there, but didn't say/do anything. | 08:49 |
| Amaranth | jenda: he spammed pi | 08:50 |
| jenda | ah, that's right. | 08:50 |

| === jenda feels really stupid now. | ||
| jenda | All I can say is, it seemed like fun at that moment. I didn't feel like we were hurting anyone, or doing any damage. | 08:54 |
| Amaranth | Seemed like revenge to me | 08:55 |
| jenda | I admit it's certainly un-CoC. | 08:55 |
| jenda | hm | 08:55 |
| jenda | I didn't feel vengeful, no. | 08:55 |
| Amaranth | un-CoC? it's not even legal | 08:55 |
| somerville32 | not to mention un-LCoC as well | 08:55 |
| jenda | Amaranth: I count 76 lines, how can that be illegal? | 08:56 |
| jenda | (of me) | 08:56 |
| somerville32 | jenda: Does it matter if it is 100000 lines or 76 lines? | 08:56 |
| jenda | somerville32: well, actually, yes - and no. | 08:56 |
| Amaranth | looks like a DDoS attack to me | 08:56 |
| jenda | yes, Amaranth. | 08:57 |
| jenda | I'm very sorry about that. | 08:57 |
| Amaranth | that's pretty illegal | 08:57 |
| jenda | I've never been involved in anything like that before, and as soon as I realised what I'm doing, I stopped. | 08:57 |
| jenda | It looked like having a bit of fun at a troll's expense. | 08:57 |
| jenda | Amaranth: why do you say I seem to be the worst of them there? | 08:58 |
| Amaranth | i suppose whoever fred is was worse | 08:59 |
| Amaranth | your stuff is mixed in with his, makes it look like yours was longer | 08:59 |
| jenda | well, I doubt that really matters. | 08:59 |
| jenda | It's the stupidest thing I've ever done. I know that, and I won't ever do it again. | 09:01 |

| DBO | compiz, not beryl =P | 12:21 |

| LjL | DBO: uhm... my server box is old enough, but i mean, i've rebooted it. if nothing else, because in 6 years power goes out at least once or twice, y'know...... | 12:22 |
| tonyyarusso | DBO: I didn't know! I didn't start on Linux until I'd had the box a couple of months. | 12:22 |

| DBO | tonyyarusso, it will | 12:24 |
| DBO | but | 12:24 |
| DBO | you have to get DRI working | 12:24 |
| DBO | and then fight it tooth and nail to get the right resolution | 12:24 |
| DBO | then again for the refresh rate | 12:24 |

| DBO | maddash, its on a per card basis | 12:26 |
| maddash | tonyyarusso: just add the "option composite disable" to your xorg.conf | 12:26 |
| maddash | DBO: we have the same exact card. roughly the same system. | 12:26 |
| tonyyarusso | maddash: Um, but don't we need that? | 12:26 |
