LjLi see an arrow05:13
LjLdejavu sans05:13
=== Pici changes font
PiciI see an arrow now, it was a box with Bitstream Vera Sans05:15
LjLprobably best to find a glyph that's supported by some more fonts :)05:15
gnomefreaknalioth: pango update or other font update if you see all boxes try to restart (cant remember if restarting X will work or rebooting) im assuming X should do it05:16
=== Pici is running windows atm :(
gnomefreakthats if you open something and see boxes instead of letters or numbers05:17

stefgOnce we're at it: is there away to save #ubuntu? I mean seriously, #ubuntu had turned into the market place for people looking for a bitch to sort out their silly problems (which could be solved by just reading the manual) and trolls who trick newbs into rm -rf / (as i witnessed yesterday). As motivated as i am to volunteer to help people ovr the rough edges of Linux, this is becoming a...05:33

stefgLjL: what's needed in my opinion is a way to adjust peoples expectations (which is sure be fired by the marketing hype) to: you will need to read an explanation of more than 3 lines lentgh. You will have to read through the FAQ. Read the /topic.... noone ever has come up with a smart way to educate people that way, and i see #ubuntu going the way of #debian (and all other channels in that flavor)05:39
LjLstefg: describe "the way of #debian" as you see it please05:39
stefgLjL: angry or annoyed ops/supporters, which have to use 'irc-violence' to keep the channel on track. I feel  #debian, #apache, and #samba (to name a few) are 'hostile channels, where you have to watch every line you type. And i know the reason why they became like that.... being flooded with stuff that deserves a RTFM, STFW and 'learn how to ask first'- stuff05:42
LjLstefg: do you have any suggestions yourself?05:43
stefgLjL: no... not really. That's still an unsolved problem on IRC. I could think of splitting #ubuntu into #ubuntu-beginners, #ubuntu-tell-me-which-channel-is-right-for-my-question, and #i-have-a-real-problem-with-ubuntu.... but splitting #ubuntu is a controversial debate for itself05:46
PiciThis comes up every few weeks, the decision always comes back to that #ubuntu is easier for everyone05:47
LjLstefg: it is. yet, that would make the channel less "scrollfull", but does it really address anything else?05:47
stefgLjL: my current opinion is that #ubuntu is on the track of becoming counter-productive. As you've seen yesterday. It's to hard to filter the rtfm/stfw noise, and people looking for a bitch to solve their problem (which should first be the forum/google) get tricked into rm -rf /05:50
LjLstefg: i assume being tricked into rm -rf isn't acceptable on #debian, either?05:51

stefgLjL: lol, that's not my point. My point is: Let's put more energy and cleverness at how to bring people to read /topic, the Faq and google first, read  http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html and ask in #ubuntu THEN.... long unsolved problem, which requires a real thoughtful hack05:54
PriceChildargh titanix88 is back...05:54
LjLstefg, the topic is shown in the first lines when you join a channel, with almost every irc client.  since people don't read it, some channels have taken the habit of giving them an on-join notice.  other channels even have bots that PRIVMSG you a whole essay on join.05:55
