[05:10] i half agreee, nixternal. its more work i guess. i've helped a few to recover. i guess i just hate it [05:10] nalioth: should have a fairly strong opinion on that [05:11] nixternal, if we deal with the issues, the automatix guys see it as ubuntu accepting the blame for the problems, and hence not the fault of automatix. [05:11] that is like saying "ubuntu is all about community, but if you have automatix, then you aren't apart of this community" [05:11] nixternal: you appear to not have spoken with arnieboy before, when you wrote that post [05:11] whether it is the fault of automatix, the user, or whatever, IT IS STILL UBUNTU!

[05:13] not that I know of [05:13] surprising [05:14] he has his fans brainwashed that way [05:14] well he also has his fans for providing a fix for a void that is in Ubuntu as well [05:15] i didn't realise that users like this can't lure the world users hmm [05:16] i mean can [05:18] why is it automatix week? [05:19] nalioth, because of matthew's report [05:19] nalioth, next week the tech board formalises a stance, i believe [05:20] do they have a /chokehim script? [05:20] is their stance gonna change anything? [05:21] probably not [05:22] AB will still orbit around himself no matter what they say [05:22] nalioth: well, already apport will refuse to file a bug if automatix is detected on the system. [05:22] I think that is wrong, what if automatix isn't the issue? [05:23] considering the instructions in automatix, it could bodger a lot [05:23] it tends to be the issue [05:23] we are literally telling people, hey you put this on your ubuntu, so it it no longer our ubuntu and you aren't apart of this whole community thing [05:23] nixternal: oh sure, you're aprt of the community still - but you cant use this whole subset of stuff that non-automatix users can [05:23] nixternal: what's the difference in us saying that and Ford Motor Company saying "if you put jet fuel in your taurus, it's no longer our responsibility" ? [05:24] wasn't that dodge and deisel fuel? [05:24] nixternal: my dodge runs fine on diesel fuel, don't FUDGE the point i'm making [05:24] lol [05:25] nixternal, it's like voiding a warranty on your printer by using non-genuine cartridges. They cant take reponsibility for the damage caused by stuff they never made [05:25] it is a good point, but ford could care less if you buy another one or not [05:25] i agree [05:25] nixternal: yeah thats great customer service heh [05:25] nixternal: automatix is a 'known danger' to the healthful state of an Ubuntu system [05:25] who said we have to take responsibility? all I am saying is don't shun a user just because they put automatix on their system [05:26] nalioth: so are ati binary blobs and nvidia binary blobs [05:26] nixternal: we dont' shun them, we ask them to reinstall and come back and see us [05:26] I see more problems with those 2 nowadays that I do autocrappix [05:26] nixternal: those are not intentionally dangerous [05:26] nixternal: ati and nvidia only can trash your X. [05:26] nixternal: mostly because people install nvidia in all kinds of fun ways, like envy ;) [05:26] and either is automatix...arnieboy is a newb developer...he created automatix originally by reading "bash in a nutshell" i think [05:27] nixternal: they dont render your system unbootable, mess up your fstab, your repos, and a whole bunch of other things [05:27] arnieboy has been approached by many people who offered to help him make his product safer, and he told them all to 'get f*****d, his software was perferct" [05:27] ah [05:27] resistance [05:27] making open source not open [05:27] shoot, nvidia and ati driver may not render your system unbootable, but it sure scares the hell out of a new user who just got the black screen or curser blinking hell [05:28] yeah its in the bin for those users [05:28] this is true, but most p eople would prefer a system with no X, rather than being unbootable, *and* no X. [05:28] nalioth: then I say we either fork his software, seeing as it is open source, or we create something similar...I mean it has been over a year since it came out and became popular, yet Ubuntu hasn't done anything about it [05:28] people is built up of mainly newbies. they have no idea on no-gui Hobbsee [05:28] flaccid: i'm aware, but they can usually search for a tech head. [05:29] flaccid: a non-booting system, adn they're completely screwed regardless. [05:29] ya, no gui == holy $#))@ batman Microsoft Ubuntu broke my system! [05:29] Hobbsee: sif they want to or should have to do that! [05:29] nixternal, restricted drivers manager and easy codec installation are 'nothing'?! [05:29] and if you don't believe the whole Microsoft Ubuntu thing, well we had someone in #ubuntu the other day asking if Microsoft made it [05:29] elkbuntu: they are just 1/10th of what automatix does [05:29] dont fork automatix. identify what its trying to achieve that is lacking with ubuntu and just address that === Hobbsee points to easyubuntu [05:30] nixternal: im not sure if that indicates anything ;( [05:30] easy ubuntu broke my dapper last year :) [05:30] nixternal: unfortunately, it seems that a lot of the stuff in automatix, which isnt in ubuntu, tends to be not-distributable. [05:30] like, acroread [05:30] oh [05:30] ya, why people want acroread is beyond me [05:30] also, one can point to medibuntu, but the same thing applies - they're restributing stuff against the licence [05:31] that seems minor imo [05:31] nixternal: sometimes i have to use it - my maths quizzes rely on it [05:31] really? [05:31] which is a right pain [05:31] yeah [05:31] it really, really sucks. [05:31] I havne't had a problem with KPDF...I wonder if it is the forms stuff maybe? [05:31] it needs the reader, to do the interactive quizzes, inside firefox [05:31] acroread is in multiverse [05:31] !info acroread [05:31] Package acroread does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas [05:31] not any more :) [05:32] then its more a commercial/license issue than a frontend installer thing === Hobbsee suspects the uni is doing something crackful with the script they're using to serve the quizzes... [05:32] bbrazil: hasnt been for a while... :) [05:32] nixternal: there is no need to 'fork his software' [05:32] ya, I think it left before edgy release [05:32] nixternal: the major functionality is now included in Feisty [05:33] the prime users of his cruft, are newbs who find it by searching the internet [05:33] can i ask? why would automatix even be needed at all ? [05:33] because some people like masochism? [05:33] if it is included in feisty, why is he still getting 2tb of downloads a month for it? which more than half are from his Ubuntu repo [05:33] newbs, who have no idea that when you click on an mp3, the dialog asks if you want to play it? you click 'yes' and it installs the codecs and away you go [05:34] the question is can ubuntu perform without automatix [05:34] if yes then never support it. [05:34] flaccid, better than with automatix :) === Gary tickles Seveas [05:35] flaccid: we've not supported automatix since we discovered it was a system torpedo === flaccid wonders why its debatable at all then [05:35] (aka since ever) [05:35] flaccid: because arnieboy keeps brainwashing users into torpedoing their systems [05:35] flaccid, why is windows stiull so succesful? [05:36] why would 1 stupid user rock the ubuntu team? [05:36] Seveas: thats not related in anyway. don't know why you would rebutt with that. [05:36] why are you all still talking about automatix? [05:36] flaccid, both windows and automatix are crap that likes to break pcs [05:36] Gary: i agree [05:36] Gary, no idea :) [05:37] well stop it then, I demand it :p [05:37] Seveas: yeah but why does windows need to be involved in this convo at all.. [05:37] talk about the weather or something [05:37] it's raining [05:37] weather sucks [05:37] as does automatix :P [05:37] oh dear [05:37] :p === nalioth recloaks Gary with /my/name/is/Mud [05:38] meh [05:38] do it :) [05:38] and stil they pick on me :'( === Gary cries [05:39] what is the primary objective of ubuntu distro? [05:39] world domination [05:39] lol [05:39] s/world/solar system [05:39] and cookies [05:39] ummm I like cookies [05:39] the promotion of the colour brown [05:39] um it would need a high level of AI to be able to dominate the world.. [05:39] brownies! [05:39] :p [05:39] flaccid, we have people, no need for AI [05:39] making poo backgrounds stylish? [05:40] it might seem funny to you guys. but im actually serious. [05:40] although Gary could use some AI, heas real intelligence is flawed [05:40] flawed I tells ye === Gary dribbles [05:40] so [05:40] there is no main objective [05:40] maybe thats the problem with ubuntu [05:40] er.? [05:40] flaccid, to be as good as possible [05:40] bug #1 [05:40] Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [05:40] mc44, george ain't coming [05:40] where is the objectives documented? [05:41] lol thats launchapd, not ubuntu [05:41] no, "Bug 1 in Ubuntu" [05:41] it's an ubuntu bug :) [05:41] right there, in the words [05:41] ok [05:41] MICROSOFT MUST DIE [05:41] so ubuntu is commercial [05:41] or something like that [05:41] which is a silly objective, but still [05:41] in an overall sense [05:41] canonical is commercial [05:41] its completely stupid [05:41] ubuntu is linux [05:41] it makes no sense [05:41] for human beings [05:41] neither do you [05:42] baaaaaaa moooo quack [05:42] flaccid, so far, you made less sense than bug 1 :P [05:42] Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [05:42] well a project, needs goals, but you guys can't cite the primary goal [05:42] woo wonder what bug 69 was [05:42] Launchpad bug 69 in baz "baz switch doesn't generate three-way diff on conflicts" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/69 [05:42] gah, can we change it to 'for human beings and sheep?' [05:42] TheSheep, hehe [05:42] flaccid: its managed to do quite well so far, [05:42] bugs != objectives === mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v TheSheep] by ChanServ [05:43] there are lots of goals, as there are lots of contributors, and its free software [05:43] yadda yadda [05:43] most boring convo ever [05:43] mc44: where can i read about these goals explicitly [05:43] bbl [05:43] boring [05:43] lol [05:43] the jokes on you! [05:43] oh, poor us [05:44] on me? where? do I have to get my clothes dry cleaned, again? [05:44] flaccid: the goal is world domination (and then the solar system [an onward to the galaxy {and then the known universe}] ) [05:45] to the space and beyound! [05:45] nalioth: hopefully far enough to discover new parentheses [05:45] nalioth: where is the official doc on these goals that i can read [05:45] righto onto thet Alt [05:45] will you press release that? [05:45] flaccid: there isn't one? whose goals? canonicals? upstream? kernel? community contributers? other distros? [05:45] no wonder its all over the place, mc44 [05:45] yes, no wonder. It'll never work === Gary steals the troll food [05:46] it can work, but it needs management [05:46] gary im not trolling [05:46] im trying to help [05:46] yeah I need help [05:46] flaccid: there's something to be said in actually googling for such things, and there's also something to be said in getting involved in the development of a project, before you say said development is crap. [05:46] flaccid: all you're doing here is showing how much you dont understand. [05:47] so, if you want to keep making a fool of yourself, go ahead... [05:47] Hobbsee: he understands *managment*. What do you expect :) [05:47] Hobbsee: 1. i google everday for ubuntu - it wastes a lot of time that could of been negated. 2. im involved . 3. i never said dev was crap! [05:47] Hobbsee: what don't i understand. please be specific this tiem.. [05:47] time.. [05:48] you don't seem to appreciate that there isn't a central master plan somewhere for linux [05:48] flaccid: for a start, to make a press release, who would it be representing? [05:48] mc44: im not talking about linux. im talking about *ubuntu [05:48] Hobbsee: ubuntu [05:49] flaccid: as in, the people of ubuntu, the developers of ubuntu, canonical? [05:49] Hobbsee: ubuntu as a whole. [05:49] if it's the ubuntu community, i couldnt hope to make an announcement from them - there are too many people. [05:49] well ubuntu is linux for a start, hence its direction depends on all kinds of other people, nevermind its own internal differences [05:49]
