[00:26] not too bad [00:26] trying to do some work on my final year project [00:28] yes, just finishing off some stuff too [00:31] i've been reading papers [01:14] Hey there lucian. [01:14] greg-g called the ops in #ubuntu-us () [01:14] hi [01:15] PriceChild, how are you. [01:17] he's an android, he does not know how he is [01:17] apart from load averages and page faults per second [01:18] LjL, wth happenned there. [01:18] PriceChild, i have enough [01:19] anyway, lucian yeah i'm good, you? :) [01:20] help in #ubuntu-us [01:20] need to ban someone from spamming [01:20] greg-g, not sure any of us can help [01:22] thanks anyways [01:22] I guess that guy had been in other places. [01:22] freenode staff may have been able to do something [01:22] Seeker`, freenode staff did something. [01:23] ah, ok === mneptok_ is now known as mneptok [01:39] In ubotu, Jordan_U said: offline is If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, http://apt.byethost14.com/ may help you with determining which dependencies to fetch and calculating download sizes, or you can use the "generate package download script" in synaptic [01:40] !offline [01:40] If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.byethost14.com/ [01:40] that's out of date... (feisty) [01:41] PriceChild: give me a web host that doesn't chop my uploads at about 90% systematically, and it won't be out of date [01:41] LjL, hey that's yours!!!!!! [01:41] :/ [01:41] quite [01:42] anyway this apt-zip integration in Synaptic, which i didn't know about, makes it obsolete in many circumstances [01:42] That's quite good. [01:43] apt-zip... *looks* [01:44] wow.... [01:44] "generate package download script" [01:44] That is by *far* the coolest feature of synaptic that I have ever seen. [01:45] bunch of wgets, works in windows too if you have wget installed [01:45] it's probably apt-zip's code copied and pasted [01:45] I just learned about that at our release party [01:46] i guess my page is not more useful, if anything, for simulating scenarios that do *not* match what you have installed on your system [01:46] s/not/now/ [01:46] yup [01:48] LjL, It's nice in some circumstances still, for instance if you need to install a package on multiple computers and know they all have ubuntu-desktop installed but don't know beyond that, but then I guess you'd use apt-mirror [01:50] Jordan_U, or for when you need to install stuff from universe but don't have universe updated in apt to begin with [01:50] often the case for people who need to install winmodem drivers for instance [01:51] although there was a spec for making winmodems work better as well, dunno if it's got through [01:52] * tonyyarusso shudders [01:52] I tried messing with a winmodem again today, without success [01:52] tonyyarusso: i'd like to as well, i've got plenty of hardware modems, but a winmodem could give me called ID access with the right demodulator [01:53] if only there were some /dev/dsp driver for it at least [01:54] (although, i've got VoIP so i *ought* to be able to get caller ID straight from IP, without even waiting for a ring... but that would only happen if my ISP weren't such pricks) [03:10] ardchoille called the ops in #kubuntu () [03:49] cruel man... someone just ghosted greevous [03:50] and again [03:50] that's evil [03:50] poke a staffer? [03:50] I know some of them get really angry about that [03:51] nalioth, anything that can be done about that? :/ [04:10] someone who posted their password I take it? [04:10] yup [04:12] idiot. [04:13] Hobbsee: meh at times it happens to the best of us... [04:13] still gives no excuse for others to ghost them to annoyance... [04:14] (didn't I do that once to tsmithe?) [04:14] let me look into it [04:15] aww, the perp has left [04:15] advise greevous to change his pass immediately [05:23] choudesh called the ops in #ubuntu (devon) [07:42] * abogani looking for someone could add him to ubuntu-irc-cloaks team... [07:43] abogani: why is that? [07:44] nalioth, because a i'm a new ubuntu member. [07:44] abogani: what is your launchpad ID ? [07:45] nalioth: abogani [07:47] abogani: enjoy your cloak :) [07:47] nalioth, Thank you very much! :-) [07:47] :) [08:12] may I be tested? [08:15] szkud: what's 2 + 2 ? [08:15] j/k [08:15] did you follow the instructions in the other channel? [08:16] yes [08:16] ok, let's see [08:17] szkud: good to go :) thanks for your patience [08:17] np [08:17] 'gg' === Hobbsee_ is now known as Hobbsee === GazzaK is now known as Gary [11:06] * Gary hides [11:07] you are such a bully [11:07] you asked for it. [11:07] if I were not homosensual, i'd marry you :-) [11:07] homosensual? [11:12] well, like homosexual, but nicer [11:13] ah right [11:19] troll in #ubuntu [11:19] madera [11:24] Hobbsee, could just get reassigned :) [11:25] ew, no [11:25] tehe [11:25] elkbuntu, !!! lol [11:25] elkbuntu: i'm not of the "it" type. [11:26] yeah, i think gary going straight has a better chance [11:26] elkbuntu: are you reminded of that night in our hotel room? *g* [11:26] Hobbsee, i was trying to avoid that memory [11:26] "binary interfaces"? [11:27] that was the restaurant [11:27] night in our hotel room? - tell all? [11:27] Gary, she just blurts out with 'quinn is on the other side of the wall' [11:27] elkbuntu: yeah, but i thought it might help you remember [11:27] Gary: we could hear moaning.... [11:27] Hobbsee, i didnt need nor want the help, kthx :Þ [11:27] lol [11:27] Gary: thought it might be quinn [11:28] * Hobbsee managed to stay alive [11:28] you shared a room?

[11:29] Gary, very seperate beds kthx [11:29] * Gary giggles [11:29] Gary: twin rooms. [11:29] yeah yeah, very defensive now arn't we :p [11:29] * Gary runs away [11:29] and quinn thought i was going ot be "bigger and curvier" [11:29] Gary: needless to say, we had a go at "it" all week. [11:30] Gary, if you had a bearded 'lady' lusting for you, you'd be a little defensive too [11:30] elkbuntu: you forgot to mention the changing boob size. [11:30] Hobbsee, yes, however i still have the mental images from mountain view superimposed over the face area [11:30] haha [11:31] we should stop now... [11:31] * Hobbsee ponders what it will look like the next UDS [11:31] god no [11:31] :-) [11:31] I've been enjoying following [11:31] please continue [11:31] :) [11:31] yeah, carry on, we need bribery material [11:32] * ikonia makes blackmail notes [11:32] * ikonia re-writes what has been said more incriminating [11:32] Hobbsee, was it at boston do you know? [11:33] ikonia, you might be enjoying it, i'm not particuarly [11:33] elkbuntu: i don't know. [11:33] I am, I'm getting funny looks due to my giggling [11:33] elkbuntu: thats not what it says in my home grown notes ;) [11:33] * elkbuntu kills ikonia and burns the notes... in whichever medium they are in. [11:34] * Hobbsee decides that's not enough, and burns ikonia [11:34] hehe [11:34] problem solved. [11:34] * Gary gets the marshmallows out [11:34] oh [11:34] :( [11:34] thank you [11:34] * Hobbsee sings "kumbaya" [11:34] oi, stay still while i'm toasting ikonia [11:34] ha ha ha [11:35] there is enough meat on me to feed all [11:35] burn elkbuntu she just said she had a large bottom [11:35] no, she makes nice sounding food [11:35] * Hobbsee would prefer *not* to burn elkbuntu [11:35] lets burn Seveas [11:36] he deserves to burn [11:36] nooooo, he's putting me forwards for a job [11:36] I didn't think you could burn the devil ? [11:36] rofl! [11:36] no, Seveas burns. [11:36] this is why he's always wearing his firefox hat outside. [11:37] no, thats to cover the ginger hair [11:37] ha ha ha ha [11:37] the son of scott james remnant, and elmo. yes [11:37] definetly burnable. [11:38] elmo !!!! laughing hard not [11:38] now [11:38] ikonia, not that elmo [11:38] oh [11:38] *snorts water over her screen* [11:38] tickle me seveas [11:38] that would be the wrong button :p [11:38] now *that* would be amusing [11:38] ROFL! [11:38] "I love you, will you by my friend" [11:39] * ikonia patents tickle me seveas [11:39] the tickle me seveas would throw kids into swimming pools [11:39] ha ha ha ha [11:39] it's a crowd pleaser [11:40] heh [11:42] ikonia, elmo = james troup, one of the canonical sysadmins && CC member [11:42] ahhh [11:42] thank you for educating me [11:42] i had to finish laughing first [11:45] * Hobbsee ponders the other elmo turning up at UDS [11:46] bwahahaha [11:46] i just had a thought... [11:47] UDS boston included halloween... they did the dress up thing... what did elmo dress up as? [11:47] i have no idea :) [11:47] * elkbuntu doesnt know, but i seriously want a re-do if it wasnt the fuzzy red puppet [11:55] Hi, looks like some spammers/trouble may be starting in #ubuntu, new people just in demand op status [11:58] Thanks Hobbsee & elkbuntu [11:58] damnm, I missed that, serves me right for pressing the big X button earlier [11:58] * Hobbsee watches u-o-m too [12:02] not seeing any spam ? [12:04] not so far [12:05] ooww, I don't like being opped, feels weird [12:06] I even runas for work now too [12:38] intarwebs aren't very good lately [12:38] Darn intertrucks [12:38] PriceChild: whats wrong with it? [12:38] went down about 4 this morning [12:39] got a text at about 10 saying "scheduled maintenance" giving random times... [12:39] just came back up whilst i was on the xbox "pricechild has signed into xbox live" - uuu [12:39] happenned a couple of times this past few days and there's no way its "scheduled maintenance" [12:42] I just got my cable modem replaced, so hopefully I won't be dropping as much anymore. [12:45] PriceChild: what ISP? [12:45] be [12:45] they've been amazing till now [12:48] * Seeker` hasn't had any problems with Be over the past few days [12:48] touch wood [12:49] hm [12:50] * Pici still doesnt know who jimmacdonald is [12:51] Seeker`, its just the york area [12:51] PriceChild: ah, ok [12:51] * jimmacdonald is the op in ubuntu-us-ak [12:51] PriceChild: What sort of speeds do you get when you have a connection? [12:52] jimmacdonald: ah.. okay :D [12:53] Seeker`, 18/1.3 [12:53] wow, nice [12:53] and the credit came through this week :D [12:53] cool [12:53] you mean for the price drop? [12:53] yup [12:55] they give a free static IP now, dont they? [12:55] yup [12:56] you not sorted yours? [12:56] I had one from when I signed up [12:56] I half wish you could assign it to a device [12:57] rather than being restricted to port forwarding [12:57] what do you mean? [12:57] you can't assign a device on your lan a public ip [12:58] you probably can if you use the right router [12:58] you catn with their box [12:58] s/catn/cant [13:32] !ping [13:32] pong === Fujitsu_ is now known as Fujitsu [14:20] LjL, hello, please clear my ban on #Ubuntu [14:21] @btlogin [14:25] Hobbsee, can you please check with ubotu about my ban? [14:25] ...why? [14:25] already done [14:25] gaurish, i'll remind us of what i said last time [14:25] 1) noted that no ops were around 2) proposed to flood the channel to wake them up 3) did so (with the help of another) 4) was banned 5) rejoined without his cloak 6) was banned 7) rejoined with another ip 8) was banned 9) rejoined with another nickname [14:26] * Hobbsee doesn't see any reason why he should be unbanned, based on performance. [14:26] LjL, hello seen you after a long time [14:26] :p [14:27] please clear my ban :) [14:27] why should we? [14:28] i know i made a mistake, and i was punished for it. [14:28] now please Unban :) [14:28] %btlogin [14:29] gaurish, do you also understand that, if we unban you and you make a "mistake" again, the subsequent ban would be extremely unlikely to be lifted? [14:30] LjL, that situation is never going to happen , thats sure :) [14:30] having seen that he *also* got banned in #ubuntu recently, i'm not even inclined to be that generous [14:31] Hobbsee, please check then tell at what date i was banned :S, that was not recent ;) [14:32] Com'on please UNban, please :) [14:33] * Hobbsee is now enlightened that it is not october 21st today. [14:35] Guys it had been so much time, i think thats enough for the mistake i did [14:35] please clear it [14:36] gaurish, unless you have new arguments, begging does not help. just be patient and let us think about it. [14:38] LjL, as you may have known i don't believe in arguments , made a ban on me, I gladly accepted it without any bad words, but i am NOT begging you for it , just as a request [14:38] gaurish, and again, unless you have new arguments, begging does not help. just be patient and let us think about it. [14:39] gaurish, i suggest you read the following carefully to not incur in any further mistakes [14:39] !etiquette > gaurish (gaurish, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:39] !coc > gaurish (gaurish, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:39] !guidelines > gaurish (gaurish, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:39] PriceChild, ctrl+c & ctrl+v = copycat :p [14:39] * PriceChild head desks [14:40] LjL, okay reading.... [14:42] * gaurish reads the Coc [14:44] jrib, freenode supports a PASS command :P [14:44] hmmmmm.....read the COC fully & signed [14:44] that was quick [14:44] LjL: hmmm, what did I do? [14:45] jrib: joined uncloaked [14:45] *gasp* [14:45] jrib: perhaps you may also want to get jason_ registered [14:45] oh no! its the end of the world! [14:45] LjL: You mean _jason? [14:46] it's not the end of the world, but using PASS is more secure than identifying to NickServ [14:46] Seeker`: jrib (n=jrib@c-76-119-81-122.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #ubuntu-ops [14:46] Seeker`: oh right. [14:47] ok let's try again [14:48] no change!! [14:48] jrib: nope. when i say PASS, i really mean setting a server password (that's the command that's sent when you do) [14:48] jrib, whats client you use? [14:49] that's better [14:49] Whats the syntax to the pass command? just /pass mypassword? [14:50] Pici, just put it in the "server password" field of your client, freenode sends that to nickser [14:50] v [14:50] I'll stop now before I start getting banned from channels :) [14:50] thanks [14:50] ah [14:51] Pici, as price said. the syntax you mentioned works, but only if you send it *before* identifying to the network, so doing it manually won't really work [14:51] how would one use PASS on irssi? [14:52] jrib, perhaps /quote pass blah or /raw pass blah, if /pass alone isn't supported. but still, you're really supposed to send a password in the /server command [14:52] * Pici looks to see how to add it to his .irssi/config [14:53] with irssi I was always doing: /NETWORK ADD -autosendcmd "/^msg nickserv ident pass;wait 2000" [14:53] Similar for me [14:53] jrib, issue is that if (crossed fingers) someone manages to un-jupe chanserv, they can sniff your password [14:53] err, nickserv [14:54] even if I /quote nickserv? [14:54] jrib: not sure, would need to see dancer's code to know that [14:54] still what freenode officially recommends is sending a server password === gaurish is now known as gary4gar [14:55] jrib: /SERVER ADD -auto -network freenode irc.freenode.net 6667 password [14:55] from http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/01/17/my-new-irc-client-irssi-ubuntu-606-610/ [14:56] I agree irssi docs should recommend that [14:58] Is the field named 'password' in the config file? [15:10] LjL, [15:26] hello!! [15:26] gary4gar: What can we help you with? [15:27] Pici, i want ban which was effective from 18th oct 2007 To be cleared off :) [15:27] gary4gar: in which channel? [15:27] #ubuntu [15:28] gary4gar: LjL removed that about an hour ago. [15:28] Are you still unable to join? [15:28] he just did :-) [15:29] lol LjL atleast you should have told me ;) [15:29] and remove from #ubuntu-offtopic [15:31] gary4gar: done. [15:31] Pici, thanks [16:18] [17:13:51] #ubuntu: You're banned from that channel [16:19] Gunirus: Do you have any idea why you might be banned? [16:19] Pici: sure [16:19] i got kiled on connect [16:19] :/ [16:19] removed a few channels from my autojoin list [16:19] the problem is fixed now [16:20] Gunirus: hold on.... [16:20] arg [16:22] Morning..here anyhow.. Is there a bot link for say.. !edit that would show sudo nano /path/filename gksudo gedit ... kdesu kate blah blah it would be handy [16:23] !editor [16:23] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code [16:23] !editors [16:23] I would like to see another for paths to the basic system files like menu.lst and xorg ... just a thought.. I will go finish my coffee and ponder the universe [16:23] Jack_Sparrow: That's a lot of files... [16:23] tonyyarusso: stop setaling my thoughts. [16:23] I was thinking just the 4 we see all the time [16:23] back [16:23] Gunirus: I unbanned you [16:24] just had an X crash [16:24] thanks Pici [16:24] Pici: I'm in your head! [16:24] how many times do we tell people the path to xorg, source list, fstab [16:24] Pick the top 4 [16:25] Thats going to still be a long factoid that has 3 paths that the user doesnt need to get confused about [16:26] np... [16:26] Jack_Sparrow: another thing I'm pondering: is it really wise to tell people where files are and how to edit them when we know that the users reading that information will be the ones who don't know how to use it correctly? [16:27] We do that all day long... [16:27] Depending on what client you are using, you might be able to set up an auto-replace for the file path, like /pathapt would print /etc/apt/sources.list [16:28] Jack_Sparrow: well, usually we're interacting with them in such a way that we might know how much we need to tell them, whereas the bot wouldn't [16:28] I use lines like this to put the info where they / I can get to it sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt [16:29] tonyyarusso: I wasnt intending to leave them on their own, just save some typing [16:29] I can make hotkey if I had too [16:31] hmm [16:31] cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) ugh... hmmmm [17:39] buonasera [17:39] good day to you as well [17:40] gegge87_: How can we help you? [17:40] ops [17:40] excuse me [17:40] i've entered the wrong one. goodbye [17:59] FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join) [17:59] hmmm [17:59] I'm guessing that's another "false positive" [17:59] I think so. [18:00] I wonder if the bots are getting lagged and getting confused. [18:01] maybe [18:02] status [18:03] * Seeker` wonders if LjL is on a mobile phone, or just has a really long power cord [18:03] Seeker`, he uses avian carriers [18:04] I thought that was hobbsee [18:04] I smoke in morse code, sister at home is looking with binoculars and typing [18:05] heh [18:06] you mean you dont whistle down the phone line at the right frequency to send data?
