Davieyompaul, /dev/urandom10:34
DuckFarti believe i've been unfairly kicked from the #ubuntu room10:34
Seveasno, you abused the !ops command -- that always gets you banned10:34
DuckFarti simply asked for help be because my nick was locked out from me and I didn't know the command to release it. does that deserve being banned from a room?10:35
DuckFartyou could have simply refused10:35
Seveasthe !ops command is not for help. It's for emergencies10:36
DuckFartor offered the correct command so i could help myself10:36
DuckFartSeveas: i'm not getting an answer here10:38
Seveasindeed10:39
Seveasthis channel is not for support10:39
Seveasand I explained why you were bannd10:39
DuckFarti understand your explanation, but i don't understand your intolerance.10:39
LjLi wonder how you could know about the existence of an !ops command without knowing when it must [not]  be used10:40
DuckFarti guessed10:40
Seveasha-ha10:40
Seveascredibility--10:40
DuckFarti was originally expecting a reply from a bot, not from an actual op10:41
DuckFartthat's what the "!" was for10:41
LjL...10:41
mneptokDuckFart: so now you know. case closed.10:41
DuckFartmneptok: thank you.10:42
DavieyI think what DuckFart wants to know - how long will the ban last?10:42
SeveasDaviey, there are no set times for that10:42
mneptokDuckFart: my pleasure10:43
DuckFartthe length of the ban doesn't concern me. i not happy with the fact that i've been banned because i asked for help the *wrong way*10:43
LjLi wonder why the other 1000 people in #ubuntu, most of who, obviously, are there to get help, don't come up with typing !ops to get their help10:43
=== gnomefreak wonders why you choose !anything instead of "how do i do ....."
mneptokDuckFart: i'm not happy that i don't have a pony. life is like that. when i get upset about it, i usually try to stop thinking about ponies.10:44
=== LjL also wonders what would !ops have to do with the problem at hand
DuckFartconsidering i've only been on irc a few times, feel free to expect a few errors on my part10:44
DuckFartLjL: if ops aren't there to deal with problems, then what are they there for?10:45
DuckFarti had a problem, i asked ops for help.10:45
mneptokDuckFart: your first mistake is thinking Ubuntu ops can do anything about Freenode issues10:45
naliothfreenode issues?10:45
LjLDuckFart: you've got it totally wrong. totally.10:45
mneptoknalioth: nick ghosting10:45
LjLnalioth: no issues, he just wanted his nick back10:46
DuckFartLjL; then educatation is good, banning isn't10:46
naliothah10:46
ompaulDuckFart, it is not an issue for education in #ubuntu however10:46
LjLDuckFart, well, if i were a new user on irc (or on anything), i would *not* try typing random commands10:46
DuckFartnalioth. for some reasion, i got disconnected, but my nick was still active, i couldn't sign in as myself10:46
LjLDuckFart: you surely know of a command called "rm" in Unix. maybe you want to randomly try it with some options?10:47
mneptokhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~mneptok10:47
gnomefreaknew users know ther eis a bot in there and what the trigger is?10:47
ompaulDuckFart, that is what /ns ghost $username $pass is for10:47
mc44mneptok: bah, the world didn't blow up :(10:47
ompaulDuckFart, you know this place exists, and you could ask here or in -offtopic it was not a ubuntu support issue or even in #freenode10:47
DuckFartagain, i'm new to irc. i don't know all the commands. i simply went to #ubuntu for help, and was able to give some help in return. i wasn't expecting to know all the irc in the process10:47
mneptokmc44: didn't it? ... DIDN'T IT?!??!10:48
mc44mneptok: I should go outside and check10:48
ompaulDuckFart, your learning ;-)10:48
DuckFartompaul. i didn't know this placed existed until seveas pointed out to me about 10 mins ago.10:48
ompauland I get to say it again :)10:49
mneptokDuckFart: before randomly entering bot commands you might want to acquaint yourself with what they actually do. lest you piss people off. which you did.10:49
DuckFartmneptok. i simply asked for help. if they don't like it, perhaps they shouldn't be in a position to kick.10:50
mneptokDuckFart: and arguing about it is not going to get you any results you want. that's a certainty.10:50
ompaulDuckFart, the thing is when !opz is hit up to 20 people get a highlight and stop whatever they are doing and arrive10:50
DuckFartompaul: i didn't know requesting for ops would do that. it's not exaclty posted in the MOTD10:50
mneptokDuckFart: then you should not have typed the command?10:50
ompaulwell you do now, and as I said, you are learning, you'll get the hang of it some day10:50
mneptokDuckFart: how is that unclear?10:51
DuckFarti'm sorry if i upset anyone by simply asking for help when i got stuck, but if you're going to ban becasue you don't like it, then try finding something else to waste your time.10:51
gnomefreakwhat did you expect it to do?10:51
naliothDuckFart: what did you expect the !ops command to help you with?10:52
LjLyou didn't "ask for help", you used a command that you couldn't even have guessed existed.10:52
LjLstop thinking we're idiots.10:52
Davieygnomefreak, i used it once expecting a list of current ops - whoops10:52
LjLthere are hundreds of people on #ubuntu everyday10:52
LjLthey all ask for help10:52
LjLand they do that by *asking*10:52
LjLnot by summoning the ops10:52
ompaulgame over lets go back to work for a bit on whatever we were working on10:52
DuckFarti do know enough that operators of channels are called "ops". i asked the bot using the ! command how to get their attention.10:52
DuckFartwhich i obviously did10:53
LjLyou got our attention alright. i just wonder why you thought that, among the other 1000 people asking for help, *your* question deserved the ops' immediate attention.10:53
LjLagain - doing random things (assuming it was random) without knowing what they actually do may have consequences.10:54
DavieyI think he thought that ops could somehow help with GHOST's10:54
LjLi type a random command on my terminal: i may lose data.10:54
DuckFartif the ops command is so important, then perhaps it would be beneficial not to make it so easy to guess for people like me ;)10:54
LjLyou do random things on irc that happen to be bad: you get banned.10:54
LjLwelcome to life.10:54
mneptokDuckFart: and arguing about it is not going to get you any results you want. that's a certainty. (x2)10:54
mneptokDuckFart: i can add the <GIANT_DAMNED_HINT> tag if it would help ...10:55
DavieyShould IRC resolution plan be kicked into play?10:55
DuckFartmneptok: thank you (x2)10:55
ompaulDaviey, no10:55
ompaulDaviey, msg me if you want more details10:56
DuckFartthe IRC resolution?10:56
DuckFartLjL; in answer to your earlier question, i wanted ops help because the help i required was not related to the room topic.10:59
ompaulDuckFart, okay, do you see the point that !ops is not for general use?11:00
ompaulnow, not historically11:00
DuckFartyes, i do. obviously ops is for emergencies, but that is not entirely obivous for a newcomer.11:01
ubotuLjL called the ops in #ubuntu-bots11:01
ompaulLjL, why?11:02
Seveastesting I guess11:02

gnomefreakAmaranth: dpkg failure in update to compiz (depends issue on compiz-gtk12:05
Amaranthgnomefreak: dpkg is being weird12:06
gnomefreakah ok12:06
Amaranthcompiz 0.5.0+git20070516 doesn't depend on compiz-gtk and compiz-gnome has a Conflicts/Replaces for compiz-gtk anyway12:06
Amaranthso it doesn't make much sense12:06
Amaranthi did a successful upgrade from 0.3.6 to this package before giving it to seb12812:07

Amaranthi merged compiz-gtk into compiz-gnome12:07
Amaranthsince it only had gtk-window-decorator which we build with a metacity dependency12:08
gnomefreakhmmmm12:08
Amaranthmaybe i was supposed to add a Provides too?12:08
gnomefreakthat would be why the error12:08
gnomefreakcompiz depends on compiz-gtk; however: Package compiz-gtk is to be removed.12:08
Amaranthi thought Conflicts/Replaces would be enough but i guess that's only for file ownership12:08
gnomefreaksince compiz-gtk is no longer its own package dpkg wants to remove it12:08
gnomefreakAmaranth: should have been enough afaik12:09
Amaranthright, but the new compiz metapackage doesn't depend on compiz-gtk12:09
Amaranthso it's upgrading things in the wrong order12:09
gnomefreakthats not that abnormal though thats why sometimes you have to run dpkg --configure after upgrades sometimes12:10
gnomefreakbut normally thats more of the release to release upgrades that you see that12:11
=== vorian [n=steve@ubuntu/member/Vorian] has joined #ubuntu-ops
Amaranththe real wtf is that the workspace switching keybindings are gone (because i change it to use viewports by default and dropped that huge patch)12:11
Amaranthso i need some way to override user settings for active_plugins, number_of_desktops, hsize, and vsize12:11
gnomefreaki havent played with compiz/beryl on my gutsy sys yet12:12
Amaranthah12:12
Amaranthwell the workspace switching keybindings added 39 options to compiz-core12:12
Amarantheach option is at least 5 lines of code before you even write the function to make it do something12:13
Amaranthand ~3-5 lines of XML12:13
Amaranthso i said screw that and dropped it, we're using viewports now :)12:13
gnomefreakgood move12:13
Amaranthright now it does 2x2 viewports with the plane plugin12:13
Amaranthbecause we want to use wall/expo and 2x2 is the best way to layout your viewports for that effect12:14
Amaranthbut wall/expo don't have a release yet so plane is filling in12:14
