LjLi can't even receive a stupid DCC transfer.02:51
jdongLjL: on second thought, nah, I'm keeping my class A block :D02:51
LjLand my fiber is slower than people's dsls. they say they do 20mbits.02:51
LjLmy fiber does 10, half duplex02:52
jdongLjL: oh, I assumed it's some magical gigabit thing02:52
jdongguess I'm better off maxing out my 100mbit then :)02:52
LjLyeah sure. well, at least it stays online02:52

Amaranthdoesn't stay online though, my router is broken and i'm cheap02:52
LjLnow don't make my feel depressed.02:52
LjLs/my/me/02:53
LjLyeah well for that matter, while the net is reliable, the phone is crap, and so is the iptv02:53
LjLwhich, incidentally, takes away half of the bandwidth - and i don't even watch it02:53
Amaranthwow02:53

LjLi do somehow feel some sort of revengeful happiness when i start downloading at 800k/s while somebody is watching tv02:54
LjLAmaranth, i'm in italy, there is no verizon.02:54
Amaranthheheh02:54
Amaranthwell you just described verizon's setup so i was confused02:54
LjLit's fastweb, the only fiber provider there is here. all the others are DSL - we never had any cable02:54
LjLi mean, we never had any cable for TV either02:55
=== Tm_T is happy with gprs at times
LjLin my block, apparently, we don't even have an antenna, given that we can watch tv better with an indoor one, than by connecting to the so called "antenna" socket.02:55
LjLproblem is, whenever someone opens the fridge / goes to the kitchen / a train passes, there goes tv.02:56

jdongthat's... what... she... said.....03:04
LjLi didn't even know there was a channel like that03:04
jdongforgive me the new season of the office just started :)03:04
robthat's technically evading a kline, he probably just has a dynamic ip03:05
LjLyeah that he does03:05
LjLi've possibly evaded a kline too once, although perhaps it was just removed03:05
jdongyou know, if he was willing to follow instructions and put half a braincell into it, I would actually help him at this point...03:09
jdongbut I get the feeling I'd just be totally wasting my time03:09
LjLi'm not in the state of mind to help him really03:09
LjLbut i probably would03:09
LjLwouldn't be the first time i help somebody even *i* had just banned03:09
LjLany rate, i don't believe the folks in #ubuntu-desktop appreciate the nuisance03:10
LjLhe certainly does know how to find IRC channels03:11
robshould I just boot him out again?03:11
LjLeven though he doesn't have a clue how to edit a text file03:11
robtell him to go to #ubuntu03:11
LjLrob, that's your take, we only ban people from *ubuntu* channels.03:12
rob-desktop is a ubuntu channel03:12
rob#ubuntu* are ubuntu channels03:12
LjLyeah, but i don't have access in there... but as long as he stops talking, that's not even the point03:13
robhe is much more likely to get help in #ubuntu, but I'm off03:13
LjL*you* should decide whether he's being a troll on the network-wide side of things03:13

LjLactually, i think he isn't, i was the last one who banned him but i unbanned him later.03:15
LjLthing is really, one part of me still thinks he (as many others) is just a clueless user who can't really relation with people on irc03:17
jdongLjL: yeah, I think.03:17
LjLanother part, the rational one, thinks he's a troll just like many others who sit in a channel of their own laughing about us03:18
=== jdong wonders if I should tell him to try the forums.... or if he'll just be a nuisance there.... :(
LjLtell him to ask in #ubuntu if you like. i'm not even gonna ban him right now if he doesn't go too far.03:19
jdongLjL: I'd be interested in seeing how he takes a second life.03:20
LjLhe's already had at least two, one as xp_killer and one as wii, but well :)03:20

jdong21:26 [msg(wii)]  we (the ops ) are talking about letting you back into #ubuntu  to receive help....03:27
jdong21:26 [msg(wii)]  this topic is off channel iun the -desktop channel and will  not help your cause...03:27
jdong21:27 [msg(wii)]  I ask for a moment of your patience, please.03:27
jdong^^ so are we gonna let him?03:27
jdong"this topic is off channel"03:27
jdongwow I need sleep too...03:27
LjLjdong: are you sure he *is* banned from #ubuntu?03:28
=== jdong shrugs?
LjLjdong: he's banned from #kubuntu, but unless he changed more IPs than i can find on the tracker, he's free to join #ubuntu03:29
jdonglemme ask him if he's able to join03:29
jdongI'm not looking through a list of 400+ bans :D03:29
LjLneither am i... i have a search function, but that doesn't seem to find him.03:29
LjLwait, he's probably banned.03:30
PiciI think his ident used to be garfield03:30
LjLhmm well but then again, no he isn't03:30
LjLhe'd be technically ban evading03:30
jdongwell I don't want my irrational niceness to piss off any staffers... I can just handle him over in #ubuntuforums if that's easier?03:31
LjLbut his current ip isn't banned as far as my drunk brain can see03:31
LjLjdong, if he can join, he can join period, nobody will be pissed off03:31
LjLif he *can't* join, then that's another matter, as i'm not sure i'd remove a ban set by someone else on someone like him03:32
jdongwell I've been unable to get a response from him in /query....03:33

ubotuAutomatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)08:02

naliothwhat brought that on, Hobbsee?08:03
Hobbseenalioth: just needed the URL for a forums thread08:04
Hobbseehttp://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3470669&postcount=1 etc08:04
naliothubuntuforums sends my blood pressure up the wall08:05
naliothautomatix does the same08:05
naliothnot sure i can handle an UF post re automatix08:06
Tm_T=)08:06
jdongurgh, ANOTHER automatix thread?08:06
nalioththat makes absolutely no sense, Hobbsee 08:07
naliothbut then again, logic has never stopped the crap-o-matix team before08:07
Hobbseenalioth: oh, i thought i'd just comment on the fact that it wasnt in a developer-related place.08:07
Hobbseenalioth: they probably are hearing about the fact that they cant reprot bugs if automatix is installed08:07
Hobbseeunsure if they can upgrade, either08:07
naliothcrapomatix is a pretty neat 'tool to dead-end your Ubuntu'08:08
robthere is this microsoft shill magazine here that keeps recommending automatix despite my constant emails to the editor advising not to do so, we had a running dialog for a bit and he acknowledged how bad automatix is, but yet the very next issue they are still recommending it..08:08
robthey said they were going to print the letter I sent in, didn't happen.08:08
Hobbseehm, it doesnt mention by name that they cant upgrade08:09
naliothdid you tell him that as of Feisty, the functionality is built into Ubuntu, rob?08:09
jdongHobbsee: to be fair from what the guy has said so far, it sounds like good intentions.... curious how far it'll be taken.08:09
robnalioth, yes, several times.08:09
Hobbseejdong: good intentions, sure, but he's still no where near the right place :P08:09
naliothif arnieboy has any say, it'll be taken in a whole different direction08:09
jdongHobbsee: agreed, but the new *attitude* alone is worth a second look :)08:09
robnalioth, they even wrote an article on how to get codecs and things without automatix, but the issue after that they were back to recommending automatix again08:09
Hobbseeindeed.08:09
Hobbseeso i figured i'd hit them with that report on it08:10
jdongHobbsee: IMO Automatix's main problem is their head developer's communication/relationship skills....08:10
Hobbseeheh08:10
Hobbseetrue08:10
jdongHobbsee: I have no idea whether or not they are "under new management" but that'd be a great step forward08:10
jdongHobbsee: until we get things like libdvdcss and w32codecs and medibuntu-unlocked ffmpeg as a part of our standard repos and have ubuntu-restricted-extras install them, there will remain the need for 3rd party repos to provide that stuff08:11
robif you are wondering who wrote the uncyclopedia article about Ubuntu, especially all the stuff bagging out automatix, that was me (not the original article, but I contributed most of the good stuff), I really dislike automatix.08:12
naliothaaahhh, i shouldn't have clicked "see full thread"08:12
jdongHobbsee: interestingly, Opensuse 10.3 provides ALL the above things 2 clicks away... Maybe we can try to do that some day08:12
Hobbseejdong: oh i know08:12
robeven if automatix didn't exist, medibuntu does a much better job anyway.08:12
Hobbseejdong: they dont care what's legal and what isnt, though.08:12
jdongrob: agreed, we just need a "medibuntu metapackage" sort of thing08:12
Hobbseeremember, they have the MS deal and such08:12
jdongHobbsee: opensuse? I disagree.... their lawyers are QUITE anal about North American law...08:13
Hobbseejdong: then i dont know how some of their codec stuff got in08:13
jdongHobbsee: this used to be the distribution that shipped only PCM headerless WAV and OGG by default :)08:13
robjdong, yep, that would be very nice indeed08:13
Hobbseeunless it's a wrapper or something08:13
nalioththere are only two things i had to install on i386 gutsy that were not in the repos08:13
jdongHobbsee: it's from their "website" via a ".zyp" script08:13
naliothlibdvdcss2 and w32codecs08:13
jdongHobbsee: which is similar to apt-url08:13
naliothi got them both via googling and use the fancy 'click-on-the-deb' thingy to install them08:13
jdongHobbsee: but their codec buddy thing (almost functionally identical to ours) searches in the opensuse wiki for codecs, and then you click the right codec and it links the package manager to a new repo URL08:14
tonyyarussogdebi was a huge step forward, that's for sure08:14
jdongHobbsee: we can easily/legally do a very similar thing :)08:14
jdongAFAIK shipping in our codec installer a script that enables Medibuntu doesn't put Ubuntu in any legal problems08:15
Hobbseejdong: ah right, yeah.08:15
tonyyarusso(PHP anyone?)08:16
jdong(after all, we already ship a libdvdcss2 installer script tucked away in /usr/doc!)08:16
Hobbseeindeed.  adn debian *still* didnt fix tehir package, when i sent my fixing changes back.08:16
jdongI'll file a wishlist bug on Medibuntu for them to override ubuntu-restricted-extras with a slightly newer version, that installs w32codecs/libdvdcss08:18
jdongIMO that's a sane solution for a workaround while we get built-in codec fetchers worked out :D08:18
Hobbseejdong: eww.08:20
HobbseeOTOH, u-r-e could just enable the medibuntu repos for that, and grab the codecs there too08:21
Tm_Ttrue08:21
jdongHobbsee: that works too08:21
jdongHobbsee: though we are past the stage with Gutsy where we can actually do that....08:21
jdongHobbsee: but Medibuntu doesn't have such restrictions08:21
Hobbseeindeed.08:21
Tm_Tthrow file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ or whatever it was08:21
jdongHobbsee: I don't see any technical harm in in slightly incrementing ure's version number as not to break upgrades08:21
Hobbseejdong: except for the fact that i plan tomake another uplaod of it08:22
Hobbseeand epoch's are evil.08:22
jdongHobbsee: that just means they'll have to increment again.... and we'll ALL be happy when Gutsy finally freezes up :)08:22
jdongHobbsee: I mean, they do the same thing with ffmpeg already08:22
jdongevery time Ubuntu uploads, they have to bump and rebuild08:23
Hobbseeyuck.08:23
Hobbseemight make sense to epoch, then.08:23
Hobbseein some cases08:23
jdongHobbsee: well the case of ffmpeg is worse in my mind than ure.... if Medibuntu URE gets upgraded to Gutsy URE, it'll simply cause the extra codecs to show up in the autoremove list....08:25
jdongHobbsee: while if medibuntu ffmpeg goes to official ffmpeg, the ffmpeg command will lose several encoders08:25
Hobbseeyeah, well.08:25
=== nalioth compiles his own mplayer
jdongHobbsee: bottom line, when Gutsy releases all of this should be a nonissue, barring security updates08:25

nickrenapperently the general ubuntu support is limited to some topic that i can't understand12:12
nickrensome gnomefreak did it12:12
nickrenalthough that kinda defuncts the word general12:13
nickrenI mean i can just release my ip from my router and then reconnect as a new IP but it seems stupid i should have to do that12:14
nickrenso can you unban me12:15
nickrenfrom two channels12:15
stdinyou were offtopic and abusing the operators. did you not expect a ban?12:15
nickrenthe channel is #ubuntu , how am i offtopic, anything relating to ubuntu should be acceptable, damn man we work on computer but we are not computers ourselves.12:17
nickrenwhy does a few lines in an irc at 4:30 am thats offtopic mean a ban anyway12:17
stdinit may have been 4:30am for you, but others are in different timezones12:18
nickrenso no, I do not expect to get banned, i guess i go to channels with a little less iron fist on the chat.12:19
stdinin any case, you'll have to wait until gnomefreak is around 12:19
nickrentrue it they are but that chat was dead anyway12:19
nickrenwhat did a few questions about XGL in the official ubuntu chat warrant a part from the channel and then a ban12:20
nickrenwhy is that12:20
nickrenyour an op12:21

nickrennow i wasn't rude until he parted me from the channel12:23
ikoniahe spoke to you politly 12:23
