[12:59] <elkbuntu> Hobbsee, i read the meeting btw, ... that whole 'we want help with UDS' has me intrigued
[12:59] <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: how so?
[12:59] <elkbuntu> Hobbsee, because i too thought it was a 'closed' process
[01:00] <Hobbsee> indeed.
[01:00] <Hobbsee> "if you want help, you need to say that"
[01:00] <elkbuntu> yeah
[01:00] <elkbuntu> heck, i would have helped this time if i knew i could have
[01:01] <elkbuntu> in what little ways i could
[01:01] <Hobbsee> exactly

[05:04] <LjL> jrib, most well written factoids seem to use a -> b as far as i can remember, however they differ.
[05:04] <jrib> ok, I like ->
[05:04] <Hobbsee> a -> b i expect

[05:15] <Pici> I see an arrow now, it was a box with Bitstream Vera Sans
[05:15] <LjL> probably best to find a glyph that's supported by some more fonts :)
[05:16] <gnomefreak> nalioth: 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 it
=== Pici is running windows atm :(
[05:17] <gnomefreak> thats if you open something and see boxes instead of letters or numbers

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).

[05:39] <stefg> LjL: 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] <LjL> stefg: describe "the way of #debian" as you see it please
[05:42] <stefg> LjL: 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'- stuff
[05:43] <LjL> stefg: do you have any suggestions yourself?
[05:46] <stefg> LjL: 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 itself
[05:47] <Pici> This comes up every few weeks, the decision always comes back to that #ubuntu is easier for everyone
[05:47] <LjL> stefg: it is. yet, that would make the channel less "scrollfull", but does it really address anything else?
[05:50] <stefg> LjL: 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 /
[05:51] <LjL> stefg: i assume being tricked into rm -rf isn't acceptable on #debian, either?

[05:54] <PriceChild> argh titanix88 is back...
[05:55] <LjL> stefg, 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] <LjL> yet, people don't read any of that.

[10:32] <gnomefreak> and i know there is one
[10:32] <gnomefreak> atleast
[10:34] <nalioth> gnomefreak: locate *.rej (starting in your / )
[10:35] <jrib> gnomefreak: what is a .rej file?

[10:36] <jrib> I found one and it's deep in kernel sources where I do not go
[10:36] <gnomefreak> and i was told not in patched dir
[10:37] <gnomefreak> ha i win
