[02:09] <tonyyarusso> LjL: did you just remove mc44 when he wasn't even around?
[02:10] <LjL> tonyyarusso: as far as the rest of this IRC network knows, yeah, i guess he wasn't even around.
[02:10] <tonyyarusso> LjL: erm, okay...
[02:11] <Pici> tonyyarusso: LjL and mc44 have that kind of relationship
[02:11] <tonyyarusso> Pici: yeah, I figured
[02:12] <tonyyarusso> Potentially powerful systems are really inefficient when doing very simple tasks.
[02:13] <LjL> tonyyarusso: like?=
[02:14] <tonyyarusso> LjL: I'm trying to implement a Facebook version of the Ubuntu 7.10 Countdown thingy.
[02:14] <LjL> tonyyarusso: ok, i have no idea what facebook even is, so forget i even asked.
[02:14] <tonyyarusso> LjL: wow, you live in a cave, don't you?
[02:15] <jdong> tonyyarusso: I side with LjL on this one
[02:15] <LjL> tonyyarusso: no, i'd love to though
[02:15] <UbuntuRules> Hello.
[02:15] <tonyyarusso> http://www.facebook.com/, only the most-talked-about web site in the US vicinity over the last year or two.
[02:15] <LjL> a cave with fiber optics connections if possible
[02:15] <tonyyarusso> hehe, that would be nice
[02:15] <LjL> UbuntuRules: hi, what can we do to you?
[02:15] <UbuntuRules> Some ljl op is infringing on my first amendment freedom of speech rights in #ubuntu
[02:15] <LjL> ahem?
[02:15] <UbuntuRules> Oh, hi LjL.
[02:16] <LjL> i haven't been in #ubuntu for like 3 hours
[02:16] <LjL> well, not speaking at least.
[02:16] <tonyyarusso> a sec
[02:16] <UbuntuRules> I got banned when I gave link http://pastebin.ca/727389 (don't click)
[02:16] <LjL> aaaaaaah, you're that one.
[02:16] <tonyyarusso> UbuntuRules: http://blog.tonyyarusso.com/politics/what-free-speech-isnt/
[02:16] <LjL> bye
[02:16] <jdong> WHOA.
[02:16] <UbuntuRules> ?
[02:16] <tonyyarusso> UbuntuRules: You don't have first amendment rights in #ubuntu.
[02:16] <jdong> UbuntuRules: why shouldn't you get banned for that?
[02:17] <LjL> UbuntuRules: how come *now* you're saying "don't click"?
[02:17] <LjL> and you didn't in #ubuntu?
[02:17] <jdong> UbuntuRules: and who gave you first ammendment rights on someone else's network?
[02:17] <UbuntuRules> Because it was humor.
[02:17] <LjL> yeah, well, you know, humor depends on the beholder
[02:17] <UbuntuRules> LjL: Because it got me banned before.
[02:17] <LjL> i find certain things humor that you most likely don't find humor
[02:17] <LjL> for instance
[02:17] <UbuntuRules> Come on. :
[02:18] <LjL> i find this humor
[02:18] <jdong> that is pretty funny :)
[02:18] <LjL> yeah. now though, i think he should have his first what-it's-called rights back
[02:20] <jdong> that was probably the most amusing one I've seen in a while :)
[02:20] <jdong> walks in..... waah ljl's being a bastard..... oh oops hi ljl!
[02:20] <LjL> the fact that i'm kinda drunk probably helps
[02:20] <LjL> otherwise, i'm sure i'd have made a boring review of his ban
[02:20] <tonyyarusso> "don't drink and kickban"?
[02:21] <LjL> tonyyarusso: i'm against such prohibitionism.
[02:21] <tonyyarusso> hehe
[02:26] <LjL> i hope he doesn't rejoin, i could say things i'd regret later
[02:26] <LjL> well, i'm lying, i hope he rejoins
[02:28] <Jucato> Tm_T, stdin: ping? I thought wii/xp_killer/Mii was banned in #kubuntu?
[02:29] <Tm_T> he is
[02:29] <Jucato> he's there
[02:30] <LjL> Tm_T: lousy hostmask you chose
[02:30] <Tm_T> LjL: I did chose nothing
[02:30] <wii> wait someone helping me to install drivers for my nvidia
[02:30] <LjL> Tm_T: then your client is lousy
[02:31] <Tm_T> wii: no we dont wait
[02:31] <LjL> wii, there's a nice tutorial at !nvidia
[02:31] <wii> when he finish helping me then u can banned me
[02:31] <LjL> right - *banned* you, in the past tense.
[02:31] <LjL> it's already happened.
[02:31] <wii> Tm_T: the tuto maid me had to reinstall my linux
[02:32] <wii> Tm_T: stdin that show me the tuto
[02:32] <LjL> yeah, that's a nice solution for everything, reinstalling
[02:32] <Tm_T> Jucato: thanks
[02:32] <Jucato> Tm_T: sure. kinda disturbing being literally the first thing you see in the morning on logging in :)
[02:33] <Tm_T> Jucato: exactly )(
[02:33] <LjL> morning?
[02:33] <wii> LjL: then when i reinstall they say i does evade the banned 
[02:33] <LjL> either you have worse sleeping patterns than i have, or you are *far* away.
[02:34] <LjL> wii: yeah, you were banned, you were supposed to stay banned
[02:34] <LjL> you know, a ban is a ban
[02:34] <wii> ah ok
[02:34] <wii> for how long?
[02:34] <LjL> until such time we decide to review (if ever)
[02:35] <LjL> if i'm not too much mistaken
[02:35] <wii> i'm in the midle of this xorg thig witch i dont understand is something goes wrong i'll have to reinstall linux again
[02:35] <LjL> you don't *have* to reinstall linux. you have a backup copy of xorg.conf, at least i hope you do. you can restore that.
[02:35] <LjL> VESA mode is fun to work with.
[02:36] <LjL> you know, actually seeing the windows redrawing... it's interesting.
[02:36] <wii> Tm_T: give me time to finish configuring this thing to restart the x server then u can banned me
[02:36] <Tm_T> LjL: I woke up 0250
[02:36] <LjL> ban, wii, the verb is ban. banned is the paste tense.
[02:37] <Tm_T> wii: you should have thought that before gaining any bans
[02:37] <wii> LjL: the last time i try to restor the xorg it wasnt working stdin was telling me how to do it
[02:37] <LjL> Tm_T: i still cannot see how it can be morning *now*
[02:37] <Tm_T> LjL: well it is not morning :(
[02:37] <Tm_T> 0337
[02:37] <LjL> Tm_T: yeah, you're one fuse ahead.
[02:38] <LjL> wii, it's a cp. cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:38] <LjL> or whatever the backup it's called.
[02:38] <wii> o.O
[02:38] <LjL> oh, and don't forget sudo.
[02:38] <Tm_T> LjL: hmm, youre going to support here?
[02:38] <LjL> Tm_T: i can't help, it's automatix.
[02:38] <wii> i'm a noob how i'm i sopose to understand what u telling me?explain ass u will to a child
[02:38] <wii> please
[02:39] <LjL> just like typing automatix is automatix when i try to type automatix
[02:39] <wii> :/
[02:39] <LjL> wii: i'd tell a child to leave computers alone
[02:39] <wii> it's best when we lurn from young
[02:40] <LjL> that's true, but it's best when you learn by yourself
[02:40] <LjL> do you think i had the interwebs on my C64? no, i didn't. i didn't know what a modem was.
[02:40] <LjL> so, go disconnect your funky ethernet card and write some BASIC.
[02:41] <wii> Tm_T: i forgot to save my conversation whit the person who was explaning how to install the right driver for my nv 6200.can u past my conv from when i started talking to him?
[02:41] <LjL> !logs
[02:41] <ubotu> Channel logs can be found at http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/
[02:41] <tonyyarusso> LjL: I had a C64 :)
[02:41] <tonyyarusso> LjL: the "executive portable" version
[02:41] <LjL> sorry, that was excessive, i should have merely poked your 53281
[02:42] <LjL> oooh.
[02:42] <LjL> i had the version that couldn't read cassettes properly.
[02:42] <tonyyarusso> Cassettes?
[02:42] <tonyyarusso> Mine had cartridges and floppies.
[02:43] <LjL> tonyyarusso, go away, i'm not speaking with you.
[02:43] <Tm_T> LjL: IIRC you have the power =)
[02:43] <LjL> or at least, come back after saving the same program to the same tape 10 times without realizing the tape will eventually wear out.
[02:43] <tonyyarusso> heh
[02:44] <wii> LjL: i dont see my conv in the log
[02:44] <LjL> wii: wait a little, they're not real time.
[02:44] <wii> k
[02:44] <LjL> Tm_T: are you muting me or what?
[02:44] <Tm_T> hrhr
[02:44] <wii> how long do i have to wait?
[02:44] <LjL> do a favor to humanity and mute me.
[02:45] <LjL> wii: an hour or so i guess
[02:45] <wii> o.O
[02:45] <wii> ok i'm going to watch some cartoons
[02:45] <LjL> wii: if you're to be treated like a child, besides, specifically a french child, i think you should be in bed.
[02:45] <LjL> for that matter.
[02:46] <Tm_T> <3
[02:46] <wii> that was not funny
[02:46] <Tm_T> ...
[02:46] <LjL> neither was that
[02:47] <Tm_T> ok?
[02:47] <LjL> hm, well, i was having fun, but if you insist
[02:47] <Tm_T> I do
[02:47] <Tm_T> after his k-line
[02:47] <LjL> what did he do to get klined?
[02:48] <Jucato> Tm_T: you are also banning him by his ident. he can just change his iden't and he'll still come in (afaik)
[02:48] <Tm_T> LjL: after collecting enough bans he started to search channels he wasnt banned yet to his troll
[02:48] <Tm_T> Jucato: I know
[02:49] <LjL> Jucato: hello mr obvious!
[02:49] <LjL> what do you propose banning? :P
[02:49] <LjL> but tm_t refuse to force him
[02:49] <LjL> s/se/sed/
[02:50] <LjL> i put 'sed' in a sed command, yay
[02:50] <jdong> LjL: using sed to correct sed
[02:50] <jdong> :)
[02:50] <jdong> how masturbatory.
[02:50] <Tm_T> jdong: well its LjL 
[02:50] <jdong> Tm_T: pfft he has fiber, he doesn't need to even do that.
[02:51] <jdong> I'd trade up those rights to get fiber :)
[02:51] <LjL> jdong: you'd trade a public IP address?
[02:51] <LjL> i can't even receive a stupid DCC transfer.
[02:51] <jdong> LjL: on second thought, nah, I'm keeping my class A block :D
[02:51] <LjL> and my fiber is slower than people's dsls. they say they do 20mbits.
[02:52] <LjL> my fiber does 10, half duplex
[02:52] <jdong> LjL: oh, I assumed it's some magical gigabit thing
[02:52] <jdong> guess I'm better off maxing out my 100mbit then :)
[02:52] <LjL> yeah sure. well, at least it stays online
[02:52] <Amaranth> LjL: wow my cable is faster than that
[02:52] <Amaranth> doesn't stay online though, my router is broken and i'm cheap
[02:52] <LjL> now don't make my feel depressed.
[02:53] <LjL> s/my/me/
[02:53] <LjL> yeah well for that matter, while the net is reliable, the phone is crap, and so is the iptv
[02:53] <LjL> which, incidentally, takes away half of the bandwidth - and i don't even watch it
[02:53] <Amaranth> wow
[02:53] <Amaranth> verizon?
[02:54] <LjL> i do somehow feel some sort of revengeful happiness when i start downloading at 800k/s while somebody is watching tv
[02:54] <LjL> Amaranth, i'm in italy, there is no verizon.
[02:54] <Amaranth> heheh
[02:54] <Amaranth> well you just described verizon's setup so i was confused
[02:54] <LjL> it's fastweb, the only fiber provider there is here. all the others are DSL - we never had any cable
[02:55] <LjL> i mean, we never had any cable for TV either
[02:55] <LjL> in 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.
[02:56] <LjL> problem is, whenever someone opens the fridge / goes to the kitchen / a train passes, there goes tv.
[02:56] <LjL> actually, i suspect birds on the balcony also break the signal.
[03:03] <jdong> wii in #-desktop
[03:04] <jdong> 21:04 < wii> everything is a little to big
[03:04] <jdong> that's... what... she... said.....
[03:04] <LjL> i didn't even know there was a channel like that
[03:04] <jdong> forgive me the new season of the office just started :)
[03:05] <rob> that's technically evading a kline, he probably just has a dynamic ip
[03:05] <LjL> yeah that he does
[03:05] <LjL> i've possibly evaded a kline too once, although perhaps it was just removed
[03:09] <jdong> you 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] <jdong> but I get the feeling I'd just be totally wasting my time
[03:09] <LjL> i'm not in the state of mind to help him really
[03:09] <LjL> but i probably would
[03:09] <LjL> wouldn't be the first time i help somebody even *i* had just banned
[03:10] <LjL> any rate, i don't believe the folks in #ubuntu-desktop appreciate the nuisance
[03:11] <LjL> he certainly does know how to find IRC channels
[03:11] <rob> should I just boot him out again?
[03:11] <LjL> even though he doesn't have a clue how to edit a text file
[03:11] <rob> tell him to go to #ubuntu
[03:12] <LjL> rob, that's your take, we only ban people from *ubuntu* channels.
[03:12] <rob> -desktop is a ubuntu channel
[03:12] <rob> #ubuntu* are ubuntu channels
[03:13] <LjL> yeah, but i don't have access in there... but as long as he stops talking, that's not even the point
[03:13] <rob> he is much more likely to get help in #ubuntu, but I'm off
[03:13] <LjL> *you* should decide whether he's being a troll on the network-wide side of things
[03:13] <LjL> i'm not sure he isn't banned in #ubuntu
[03:15] <LjL> actually, i think he isn't, i was the last one who banned him but i unbanned him later.
[03:17] <LjL> thing 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 irc
[03:17] <jdong> LjL: yeah, I think.
[03:18] <LjL> another part, the rational one, thinks he's a troll just like many others who sit in a channel of their own laughing about us
[03:19] <LjL> tell him to ask in #ubuntu if you like. i'm not even gonna ban him right now if he doesn't go too far.
[03:20] <jdong> LjL: I'd be interested in seeing how he takes a second life.
[03:20] <LjL> he's already had at least two, one as xp_killer and one as wii, but well :)
[03:21] <jdong> well... third life then :D
[03:21] <jdong> give him the whole "now promise to be a good little french twit and we'll let you in again"
[03:24] <LjL> jdong: i'm not sure tm_t concurs, but as long as he isn't looking.
[03:24] <LjL> oh wait, i just pinged him.
[03:27] <jdong> 21:26 [msg(wii)]  please hold on a second...
[03:27] <jdong> 21:26 [msg(wii)]  we (the ops ) are talking about letting you back into #ubuntu  to receive help....
[03:27] <jdong> 21:26 [msg(wii)]  this topic is off channel iun the -desktop channel and will  not help your cause...
[03:27] <jdong> 21:27 [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] <jdong> wow I need sleep too...
[03:28] <LjL> jdong: are you sure he *is* banned from #ubuntu?
[03:29] <LjL> jdong: he's banned from #kubuntu, but unless he changed more IPs than i can find on the tracker, he's free to join #ubuntu
[03:29] <jdong> lemme ask him if he's able to join
[03:29] <jdong> I'm not looking through a list of 400+ bans :D
[03:29] <LjL> neither am i... i have a search function, but that doesn't seem to find him.
[03:30] <LjL> wait, he's probably banned.
[03:30] <Pici> I think his ident used to be garfield
[03:30] <LjL> hmm well but then again, no he isn't
[03:30] <LjL> he'd be technically ban evading
[03:31] <jdong> well 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] <LjL> but his current ip isn't banned as far as my drunk brain can see
[03:31] <LjL> jdong, if he can join, he can join period, nobody will be pissed off
[03:32] <LjL> if 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 him
[03:33] <jdong> well I've been unable to get a response from him in /query....
[03:34] <LjL> i've just registered #kubuntu-ops, after being highlighted in #kubuntu. forwards to here.
[03:34] <LjL> jdong: he joined though
[03:34] <jdong> LjL: see it, I'm on it
[03:35] <jdong> here it goes, wish me luck :)
[03:39] <jdong> oh CRAP it's not a trivial problem either :)
[03:40] <LjL> i'd say "i told you so", but then again i never told you so
[03:41] <ubotu> vocx called the ops in #ubuntu
[03:55] <jdong> 21:54  * wii if i i had a million dallars will will be glad to give it all away to jdong :)
[03:55] <jdong> ah, and I feel redeemed :)
[04:33] <Tm_T> jdong: LjL: IIRC wii is currently "ban on sight" person
[05:02] <Tm_T> tonyyarusso: hey you
[05:17] <jdong> Tm_T: I have my nice helpful moods though ;-)
[05:32] <ubotu> dystopianray called the ops in #ubuntu
[05:32] <ubotu> Pelo called the ops in #ubuntu
[05:34] <ubotu> dystopianray called the ops in #ubuntu
[05:34] <jdong> yeah.... should get rid of marin....
[05:47] <jdong> Hobbsee!!!
[05:47] <Hobbsee> hiya jdong!
[05:47] <jdong> lol
[05:47] <jdong> I hope that makes you feel better :D
[05:50] <Hobbsee> :)
[06:02] <RoC_MasterMind> OK this "your router has a bug is annoying"
[06:02] <RoC_MasterMind> How do I get it to join #ubuntu?
[06:03] <thoreauputic> RoC_MasterMind: go to #ubuntu-ops and ask to be tested
[06:03] <RoC_MasterMind> right
[06:03] <RoC_MasterMind> this *is* ubuntu ops
[06:03] <thoreauputic> RoC_MasterMind: it's a security issue - you need to use a different port
[06:03] <thoreauputic> oops
[06:03] <thoreauputic> *grin*
[06:04] <RoC_MasterMind> I did what it said
[06:04] <RoC_MasterMind> It's not a security issue, it's an annoyance issue.
[06:04] <thoreauputic> RoC_MasterMind: sorry, lost track of which chan I was looking at
[06:04] <RoC_MasterMind> anyway, I have irc.freenode.net/8001 listed...but obviously that's not working
[06:04] <RoC_MasterMind> shouldn't it be :8001?
[06:04] <nalioth> thoreauputic: have you tested RoC_MasterMind ?
[06:05] <RoC_MasterMind> oh please do
[06:05] <thoreauputic> nalioth: no, I don't know the method
[06:05] <RoC_MasterMind> yeah I'm still here
[06:05] <thoreauputic> nalioth: never had to do it...
[06:05] <RoC_MasterMind>  Received a malformed DCC request from nalioth.
[06:05] <RoC_MasterMind> * Contents of packet: DCC SEND WAAA....../
[06:06] <RoC_MasterMind> I can't get on #ubuntu still though
[06:06] <nalioth> RoC_MasterMind: patience  :)
[06:06] <nalioth> you can join #ubuntu now and thanks for your patience  :)
[06:06] <RoC_MasterMind> Is there some kind of mask your adding?
[06:07] <jdong> any faster, and nalioth would need a script to automatically test and unban :D
[06:07] <RoC_MasterMind> ahh
[06:07] <Tm_T> =)
[06:07] <jdong> which would be an interesting perl endeavor
[06:07] <RoC_MasterMind> alright, let me close out and come back...see if I get locked out agaijn
[06:08] <RoC_MasterMind> oh noes!
[06:08] <RoC_MasterMind> I'm still an Ubuntu Outsider.
[06:08] <RoC_MasterMind> poor me.
[06:10] <nalioth> thoreauputic: can you see where RoC_MasterMind is banned?
[06:11] <RoC_MasterMind> 
[06:14] <thoreauputic> RoC_MasterMind: you still can't join ?
[06:14] <RoC_MasterMind> * #ubuntu #ubuntu-read-topic :Forwarding to another channel
[06:15] <RoC_MasterMind> no sir
[06:16] <ubotu> In #ubuntuforums, dasnipa said: ubotu: kevinf311 is liking boy bottoms
[06:18] <thoreauputic> RoC_MasterMind: try now
[06:19] <RoC_MasterMind> yay
[06:19] <RoC_MasterMind> what was that?
[06:19] <thoreauputic> removed your ban
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> Tm_T: yeees?
[06:47] <Tm_T> tonyyarusso: just wanted to tell you that I really liked your blog post about freedom of speech
[06:47] <tonyyarusso> Tm_T: oh, thanks :)
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> now if only I had as much grasp on PHP as constitutional law...
[06:48] <Tm_T> =)
[07:04] <jdong> grr, if I want an imap server to serve mail to myself via IMAP (possibly with SSL support), what IMAP server do I want?
[07:05] <jdong> I'm guessing dovecot?

[08:03] <nalioth> hi Hobbsee 
[08:03] <Hobbsee> hi nalioth 
[08:03] <nalioth> what brought that on, Hobbsee?
[08:04] <Hobbsee> nalioth: just needed the URL for a forums thread
[08:04] <Hobbsee> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3470669&postcount=1 etc
[08:05] <nalioth> ubuntuforums sends my blood pressure up the wall
[08:05] <nalioth> automatix does the same
[08:06] <nalioth> not sure i can handle an UF post re automatix
[08:06] <Tm_T> =)
[08:06] <jdong> urgh, ANOTHER automatix thread?
[08:07] <nalioth> that makes absolutely no sense, Hobbsee 
[08:07] <nalioth> but then again, logic has never stopped the crap-o-matix team before
[08:07] <Hobbsee> nalioth: oh, i thought i'd just comment on the fact that it wasnt in a developer-related place.
[08:07] <Hobbsee> nalioth: they probably are hearing about the fact that they cant reprot bugs if automatix is installed
[08:07] <Hobbsee> unsure if they can upgrade, either
[08:08] <nalioth> crapomatix is a pretty neat 'tool to dead-end your Ubuntu'
[08:08] <rob> there 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] <rob> they said they were going to print the letter I sent in, didn't happen.
[08:09] <Hobbsee> hm, it doesnt mention by name that they cant upgrade
[08:09] <nalioth> did you tell him that as of Feisty, the functionality is built into Ubuntu, rob?
[08:09] <jdong> Hobbsee: 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] <rob> nalioth, yes, several times.
[08:09] <Hobbsee> jdong: good intentions, sure, but he's still no where near the right place :P
[08:09] <nalioth> if arnieboy has any say, it'll be taken in a whole different direction
[08:09] <jdong> Hobbsee: agreed, but the new *attitude* alone is worth a second look :)
[08:09] <rob> nalioth, 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 again
[08:09] <Hobbsee> indeed.
[08:10] <Hobbsee> so i figured i'd hit them with that report on it
[08:10] <jdong> Hobbsee: IMO Automatix's main problem is their head developer's communication/relationship skills....
[08:10] <Hobbsee> heh
[08:10] <Hobbsee> true
[08:10] <jdong> Hobbsee: I have no idea whether or not they are "under new management" but that'd be a great step forward
[08:11] <jdong> Hobbsee: 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 stuff
[08:12] <rob> if 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] <nalioth> aaahhh, i shouldn't have clicked "see full thread"
[08:12] <jdong> Hobbsee: interestingly, Opensuse 10.3 provides ALL the above things 2 clicks away... Maybe we can try to do that some day
[08:12] <Hobbsee> jdong: oh i know
[08:12] <rob> even if automatix didn't exist, medibuntu does a much better job anyway.
[08:12] <Hobbsee> jdong: they dont care what's legal and what isnt, though.
[08:12] <jdong> rob: agreed, we just need a "medibuntu metapackage" sort of thing
[08:12] <Hobbsee> remember, they have the MS deal and such
[08:13] <jdong> Hobbsee: opensuse? I disagree.... their lawyers are QUITE anal about North American law...
[08:13] <Hobbsee> jdong: then i dont know how some of their codec stuff got in
[08:13] <jdong> Hobbsee: this used to be the distribution that shipped only PCM headerless WAV and OGG by default :)
[08:13] <rob> jdong, yep, that would be very nice indeed
[08:13] <Hobbsee> unless it's a wrapper or something
[08:13] <nalioth> there are only two things i had to install on i386 gutsy that were not in the repos
[08:13] <jdong> Hobbsee: it's from their "website" via a ".zyp" script
[08:13] <nalioth> libdvdcss2 and w32codecs
[08:13] <jdong> Hobbsee: which is similar to apt-url
[08:13] <nalioth> i got them both via googling and use the fancy 'click-on-the-deb' thingy to install them
[08:14] <jdong> Hobbsee: 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 URL
[08:14] <tonyyarusso> gdebi was a huge step forward, that's for sure
[08:14] <jdong> Hobbsee: we can easily/legally do a very similar thing :)
[08:15] <jdong> AFAIK shipping in our codec installer a script that enables Medibuntu doesn't put Ubuntu in any legal problems
[08:15] <Hobbsee> jdong: ah right, yeah.
[08:16] <tonyyarusso> (PHP anyone?)
[08:16] <jdong> (after all, we already ship a libdvdcss2 installer script tucked away in /usr/doc!)
[08:16] <Hobbsee> indeed.  adn debian *still* didnt fix tehir package, when i sent my fixing changes back.
[08:18] <jdong> I'll file a wishlist bug on Medibuntu for them to override ubuntu-restricted-extras with a slightly newer version, that installs w32codecs/libdvdcss
[08:18] <jdong> IMO that's a sane solution for a workaround while we get built-in codec fetchers worked out :D
[08:20] <Hobbsee> jdong: eww.
[08:21] <Hobbsee> OTOH, u-r-e could just enable the medibuntu repos for that, and grab the codecs there too
[08:21] <Tm_T> true
[08:21] <jdong> Hobbsee: that works too
[08:21] <jdong> Hobbsee: though we are past the stage with Gutsy where we can actually do that....
[08:21] <jdong> Hobbsee: but Medibuntu doesn't have such restrictions
[08:21] <Hobbsee> indeed.
[08:21] <Tm_T> throw file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ or whatever it was
[08:21] <jdong> Hobbsee: I don't see any technical harm in in slightly incrementing ure's version number as not to break upgrades
[08:22] <Hobbsee> jdong: except for the fact that i plan tomake another uplaod of it
[08:22] <Hobbsee> and epoch's are evil.
[08:22] <jdong> Hobbsee: that just means they'll have to increment again.... and we'll ALL be happy when Gutsy finally freezes up :)
[08:22] <jdong> Hobbsee: I mean, they do the same thing with ffmpeg already
[08:23] <jdong> every time Ubuntu uploads, they have to bump and rebuild
[08:23] <Hobbsee> yuck.
[08:23] <Hobbsee> might make sense to epoch, then.
[08:23] <Hobbsee> in some cases
[08:25] <jdong> Hobbsee: 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] <jdong> Hobbsee: while if medibuntu ffmpeg goes to official ffmpeg, the ffmpeg command will lose several encoders
[08:25] <Hobbsee> yeah, well.
[08:25] <jdong> Hobbsee: bottom line, when Gutsy releases all of this should be a nonissue, barring security updates
[08:26] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 149721 in medibuntu "Override ubuntu-restricted-extras with a newer version, installing more codecs" [Undecided,New]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/149721

[08:26] <jdong> Tm_T: well... I try to apparmor anything that moves or breathes.
[08:26] <jdong> rofl :)

[08:32] <jdong> wow... these old e-mails are quite nostalgia-inducing....
[10:43] <Amaranth> @btlogin
[11:21] <stdin> wow, I didn't expect to still be +o in #ubuntu  
[11:28] <ikonia> flattering
[12:10] <nickren> hey
[12:11] <nickren> unban me
[12:11] <nickren> hello
[12:12] <stdin> why were you banned?
[12:12] <nickren> apperently the general ubuntu support is limited to some topic that i can't understand
[12:12] <nickren> some gnomefreak did it
[12:13] <nickren> although that kinda defuncts the word general
[12:14] <nickren> I 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 that
[12:15] <nickren> so can you unban me
[12:15] <nickren> from two channels
[12:15] <stdin> you were offtopic and abusing the operators. did you not expect a ban?
[12:17] <nickren> the 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] <nickren> why does a few lines in an irc at 4:30 am thats offtopic mean a ban anyway
[12:18] <stdin> it may have been 4:30am for you, but others are in different timezones
[12:19] <nickren> so 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] <stdin> in any case, you'll have to wait until gnomefreak is around 
[12:19] <nickren> true it they are but that chat was dead anyway
[12:20] <nickren> what did a few questions about XGL in the official ubuntu chat warrant a part from the channel and then a ban
[12:20] <nickren> why is that
[12:21] <nickren> your an op
[12:21] <stdin> because the ban wasn't set by me
[12:22] <ikonia> nickren: just hang around gor gnomefreek, you where banned yesterday where you not
[12:22] <nickren> yes
[12:22] <ikonia> your called people offensive names
[12:22] <ikonia> it wasn't off-topic it was because you where rude and offensive
[12:22] <nickren> i called him a...................what was it, it  was fitting
[12:22] <ikonia> it wasn't fitting, it was rude, offesnive and bad language and uncalled for
[12:23] <nickren> now i wasn't rude until he parted me from the channel
[12:23] <ikonia> he spoke to you politly 
[12:23] <ikonia> you abused him
[12:25] <nickren> i abused him, if words throw stones then humanity is truly lost
[12:25] <ikonia> yes, offesnive language is abuse
[12:26] <stdin> there are rules and guidelines in all ubuntu channels, you should review them
[12:26] <stdin> !guidelines
[12:26] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines

[12:26] <ubotu> The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[12:26] <ikonia> if you can't speak to someone without using offensive language and name calling - then you are truly lost, not humanity.
[12:29] <nickren> i can as long as they have little respect
[12:29] <ikonia> he spoke to you politly and you kept going on off topic so he kicked you 
[12:29] <ikonia> then you came back abusive
[12:30] <nickren> whatever, forget it, i'l  grab a new ip later and until then i will use da wiki's 
[12:30] <ikonia> poor
[01:07] <stdin> +1 ops should watch ChildX in there, he's just got banned from #ubuntu
[01:08] <stdin> nvm, he left
[01:40] <stdin> woot, 24 hours of oppage :)
[01:42] <Seeker`> :O
[01:43] <stdin> in #ubuntu 
[01:44] <jrib> why?
[01:44] <jpatrick> aren't you suppose to deop after a period of time?
[01:44] <stdin> see, if I deop, I can't re-op
[01:44] <jrib> oh
[01:58] <AndrewB> stdin: why not?
[01:59] <stdin> AndrewB: not on the access list
[02:44] <Hobbsee> heads up on dsl244-251.lj1.volja.net
[02:44] <Hobbsee> (childx)
[02:50] <joejaxx> is there anyway to stop certain people from spamming my pm with ubotu pms?
[02:50] <joejaxx> actually i guess i could just ignore ubotu all together
[02:50] <Hobbsee> joejaxx: bot admisn can force ubotu to ignore certain people
[03:23] <ubotu> In ubotu, jokoon said: what is gksudo
[03:28] <jpatrick> common quesiton for newbies..

[03:44] <ubotu> jdong: jdong is Hobbsee: jdong: yes, but you're FULL OF CRACK!
[03:44] <joejaxx> Lol @ that
[03:45] <joejaxx> oh right speaking of which time for the daily Uploader update
[03:45] <Hobbsee> even mid-kernel update?
[03:46] <Hobbsee> would have been nice for slangasek to get it all out earlier, but i shoved him when i saw him
[03:46] <joejaxx> oh ok
[03:46] <joejaxx> well i will keep running this until the indefinite freeze
[03:46] <jdong> hmm, evolution doesnt' seem to scale up to 35,000 e-mails all that happily.
[03:46] <joejaxx> then i will create one for hardy
[04:01] <joejaxx> all updated
[04:40] <Hobbsee> we should make a factoid about the kernel updates
[04:40] <Hobbsee> seeing as apparently, no one's heard of them before
[04:41] <jrib> kernel?  like popcorn?

[06:10] <stdin> ChildX was banned in #ubuntu earlier today, now he's back with a different IP
[06:13] <stdin> he'll probably start swearing to get attention again soon
[06:15] <LjL> if only i could access the tracker
[06:16] <stdin> you can't ?
[06:17] <LjL> done it now
[06:17] <LjL> it always takes a *few* attempts
[06:17] <stdin> ah
[06:17] <LjL> stdin: i see he's already been banned *twice*, once by you and once by hobbsee
[06:17] <LjL> and once in #ubuntu+1
[06:18] <LjL> i'd say he can just be banned again without waiting
[06:18] <stdin> ban on '*!n=ChildX@dsl*251.lj1.volja.net' do you think?
[06:19] <LjL> i think "childx" alone is an uncommon enough ident.
[06:19] <stdin> well, that should work too :)
[06:24] <LjL> stdin, with three-letters idents and such things, you'd be right. it already happened that the wrong people got banned by that.
[06:24] <LjL> but childx... i believe it should be fine.
[06:24] <stdin> yeah, I get it now :)
