|---|---|---|
| stdin | nalioth, I almost forgot. can you increase my channel limit? pretty please :) | 00:01 |
| Gary | over stdin's comment :-) | 00:01 |
| Tm_T | Gary: do it now | 00:02 |
| Gary | okay, I think men can look better when their clothes are in a heap on my floor | 00:02 |
| Tm_T | I see | 00:02 |
| Gary | see, totally inappropriate | 00:02 |
| Tm_T | nah | 00:03 |
| Tm_T | more like, I never found "man body" any good looking | 00:03 |
| Gary | ahh, you've never met me | 00:03 |
| Tm_T | maybe I have seen wrong bodies but, doh | 00:03 |
| Tm_T | Gary: exactly | 00:03 |
| Tm_T | maybe that's why I don't have children of my own | 00:04 |
| nalioth | stdin: you run out of channels you don't care about already? | 00:04 |
| Gary | blimey, it's past midnight, eek | 00:04 |
| Tm_T | way past here | 00:04 |
| Gary | I gotta get up at 6:45am tomorrow (today) | 00:05 |
| stdin | nalioth: I've run out of channel I don't want to be in. and I'm an couple support channels too | 00:05 |
| stdin | s/couple/few | 00:05 |
| Tm_T | 0545, Gary, that's less than 4 hours | 00:05 |
| Tm_T | stdin: you never beat me or Riddell in channelcount I believe | 00:06 |
| Gary | I'm only in ten | 00:06 |
| stdin | Tm_T: I would never try :p | 00:06 |
| stdin | I keep to only one network too | 00:07 |
| Gary | yeah, none of that dodgy network stuff for me | 00:07 |
| Tm_T | stdin: I have my "reduced low" and it's only 40 now, 60 being normal and 70 high | 00:07 |
| stdin | I'm stuck at 20 | 00:08 |
| Tm_T | stdin: 2 networks now | 00:08 |
| nalioth | stdin: i suspect you're stuck in ignorance | 00:08 |
| stdin | nalioth: heh, yeah I just checked | 00:08 |
| * stdin is no longer stuck at 20 | 00:09 | |
| Tm_T | nalioth: about cloak combinations, impossible? | 00:09 |
| Gary | possible, whois welp for an example | 00:11 |
| nalioth | cloak combination? | 00:11 |
| nalioth | 4l-34r-22l-OPEN | 00:11 |
| Tm_T | nalioth: my current KDE cloak and Ubuntu cloak | 00:11 |

| Tm_T | mmmh | 00:13 |
| Gary | Tm_T@ubuntu/member/kde.developer.Tm_T - is that what you mean Tm_T ? | 00:13 |

| Tm_T | depends | 02:23 |
| jdong | DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS! | 02:23 |
| jdong | lol | 02:23 |
| Tm_T | jdong: :( | 02:23 |
| PriceChild | jdong's a real developer now! | 02:23 |
| jdong | sorry, obligatory | 02:23 |
| jdong | PriceChild: hey I'm going to study! don't drag me into your bloody messes! | 02:23 |
| Tm_T | jdong: no, it's not | 02:23 |
| nalioth | why can't we do something like this? http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ | 02:23 |
| PriceChild | jdong, no-one says no to nalioth. | 02:23 |
| nalioth | i'd liketo collaborate on this project for the Ubuntu side | 02:24 |
| PriceChild | nalioth, debian.exe? | 02:24 |
| Tm_T | nalioth: have you poked #ubuntu-marketing ? | 02:24 |
| PriceChild | kinda like what's it called... wubi? | 02:24 |
| PriceChild | What's up Paddy_EIRE? | 02:24 |
| nalioth | wubi? | 02:24 |
| PriceChild | !wubi | 02:24 |
| ubotu | wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html | 02:24 |
| PriceChild | did you mean the site? Or the downloadable windows .exe? | 02:25 |
| nalioth | hmm | 02:25 |
| Tm_T | hmmm | 02:25 |
| PriceChild | hmmmm | 02:25 |
| Pici | hmmmmmm | 02:25 |
| PriceChild | Pici, you ruined it! | 02:25 |
| nalioth | i searched for all manner of things for installing debian on an old machine | 02:25 |
| nalioth | wubi didn't come up at all | 02:25 |
| Tm_T | nalioth: you distracted me, what I was doing... :o | 02:25 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PriceChild, very nasty day.... and I'm not very sorry although I know I should be X( | 02:25 |
| PriceChild | nalioth, I'm totally confused what it is you're suggesting "we" as in ubuntu should do? | 02:26 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PriceChild, wrongness should not be tolerated | 02:26 |
| nalioth | PriceChild: nothing. | 02:26 |
| nalioth | i'll grab the source and mangle it myself :| | 02:26 |
| Paddy_EIRE | although give me about 10-15 minutes or so | 02:26 |
| Tm_T | :( | 02:26 |
| PriceChild | :s | 02:26 |
| PriceChild | Paddy_EIRE, sorry I'm not following :) | 02:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :) | 02:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | nm | 02:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yer a good person at least | 02:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | brb | 02:27 |
| nalioth | and no, wubi is totally unlike 'goodbye-microsoft.com' | 02:27 |
| PriceChild | What was that aboug? | 02:27 |
| nalioth | which is probably why wubi did not come up in my searches | 02:27 |
| PriceChild | nalioth, so what does that debian.exe do? | 02:28 |
| nalioth | it gathers a few bits of info and downloads an initr.gz(sp), adds an entry into the ntldr and allows you to install debian completely over the network | 02:28 |
| nalioth | no PXE booting | 02:28 |
| nalioth | no arcane changing of config files | 02:28 |
| nalioth | just a simple exe | 02:29 |
| PriceChild | Isn't that what wubi does? :/ | 02:29 |
| nalioth | no | 02:29 |
| PriceChild | well a little different | 02:29 |
| PriceChild | doesn't destroy windows | 02:29 |
| nalioth | from the description of wubi, it runs ubuntu out of a windows folder | 02:29 |
| nalioth | this completely installs debian on a seperate partition and everything | 02:29 |
| PriceChild | yeah | 02:29 |
| * Pici scratches his head @ paddy_eire | 02:29 | |
| PriceChild | wheras wubi fakes a hard drive in an existing partition | 02:29 |
| nalioth | right | 02:30 |
| PriceChild | both routes with benefits | 02:30 |
| nalioth | i would like to collaborate with someone on an Ubuntu version of the debian.exe | 02:31 |
| nalioth | i have ideas to make it "more user friendly" | 02:31 |
| somerville32 | nalioth, file a bug | 02:36 |
| nalioth | file a bug on what? a debian package? | 02:36 |
| somerville32 | nalioth, Yes. :] | 02:40 |
| nalioth | so how much trouble is it to upgrade to gutsy from etch? | 04:11 |
| Tm_T | hi Kagar how can we help you? | 04:20 |
| Tm_T | nalioth: no idea :( | 04:21 |
| Kagar | I was told to see PriceChild | 04:21 |
| PriceChild | Kagar, just reading up on the ban | 04:21 |
| Kagar | aye, I had posted some lyrics that were o4o -- described some drugs.. | 04:21 |
| tritium | PriceChild: quick draw | 04:22 |
| Kagar | I was going to stop -- but I had already pressed enter before I was told not too, then banned. | 04:22 |
| PriceChild | tritium, hehe | 04:22 |
| tonyyarusso | not the first time though, apparently | 04:22 |
| Kagar | :\ true.. | 04:22 |
| PriceChild | Hmmm bantracker refers to an earlier incident... | 04:23 |
| Kagar | the 4chan thing wasn't my fault.. | 04:24 |
| PriceChild | I wasn't talking about a 4chan thing... | 04:24 |
| Kagar | either was i | 04:24 |
| Kagar | *shifty eyes* | 04:24 |
| PriceChild | "Why?" | 04:25 |
| Kagar | hmm | 04:26 |
| Kagar | I dunno | 04:27 |
| PriceChild | Oh go on there must have been a reason... | 04:27 |
| Kagar | why to which | 04:27 |
| PriceChild | no-one just goes and posts stuff in a channel.... | 04:27 |
| Kagar | which one am I saying why to ? | 04:28 |
| PriceChild | the "song" you were pasting it | 04:28 |
| PriceChild | *in | 04:28 |
| Kagar | I was hyper and it was playing and one thing led to another | 04:29 |
| PriceChild | Pasting song lyrics in channel is bad enough..... those lyrics especially so. Agreed? | 04:30 |
| Kagar | yeah | 04:31 |
| Kagar | eh, well, I appreciate the "hearing" -- but I'm dealing with some stuff right now.. I'll return some other time.. or I dunno. | 04:32 |
| Tm_T | he's not really interested about the issue | 04:33 |
| Tm_T | I'd say forget it until he really asks for it | 04:33 |
| PriceChild | I'd prefer to ask Ljl first anyway. | 04:33 |
| Tm_T | that too | 04:33 |
| tonyyarusso | hmmm, how do I list all channels on the server matching a regex? | 04:35 |
| nalioth | /msg chanserv list *term* | 04:36 |
| tonyyarusso | hmm, not working | 04:37 |
| tonyyarusso | Trying to find all Drupal channels, btw. | 04:37 |
| tonyyarusso | Getting no results. | 04:37 |
| nalioth | i've got 71 results | 04:37 |
| nalioth | /cs list *drupal* | 04:37 |
| tonyyarusso | ah, needed the wildcards | 04:37 |
| tonyyarusso | *term* was literal - missed that | 04:38 |
| * nalioth sets a pack of ravenous wildcards loose on tonyyarusso | 04:38 | |
| Kagar | blargh, sorry for being a butt and leaving -- | 04:43 |
| Tm_T | mmh | 04:44 |
| Kagar | LjL -- may I ask how long my ban was set for? | 04:44 |
| Tm_T | I'd say that's perfect answer from PC | 04:44 |
| Kagar | yeah. seems like everyone is leaving me today | 04:45 |

| Gary | some idiot thought it was a great idea to install pirated games and stuff | 11:40 |
| Gary | I'm trying to walk the fine line in making them support the AUP, but not going down tying the machines down so users cannot do anything | 11:40 |

| ubotu | In #kubuntu-offtopic, h3sp4wn said: ubotu: This is !offtopic I think you should get some decent software | 18:01 |
| PriceChild | nalioth, can you remove <LeTechito> from #kubuntu-offtopic please? | 18:09 |
| ubotu | In #kubuntu-offtopic, h3sp4wn said: Ubotu doesn't that is what sucks | 18:13 |
| stdin | *sigh* he's at it again | 18:16 |
| PriceChild | Gothfunc, can I help? | 19:18 |
| PriceChild | Kagar, can I help? | 19:18 |
| Myrtti | again automatix | 20:22 |
| Myrtti | I can't believe people are STILL using it | 20:22 |
| tonyyarusso | yeah, I just read a Gutsy-oriented article that used it... | 20:23 |
| PriceChild | I saw a backup program on the forums the other day | 20:23 |
| pieisgood4589 | Hi. Quick question- | 20:23 |
| PriceChild | simple gui, comes up with about 10 options | 20:23 |
| PriceChild | *will continue in a moment* | 20:23 |
| pieisgood4589 | How long do banns last? | 20:23 |
| PriceChild | "as long as they need to" | 20:23 |
| pieisgood4589 | OK | 20:23 |
| pieisgood4589 | wow. | 20:24 |
| pieisgood4589 | what's the time a ban should take place if I said "lets play pong?" | 20:24 |
| PriceChild | I don't see why that would mean a ban | 20:24 |
| pieisgood4589 | I don't know why but I was banned for saying that | 20:24 |
| PriceChild | what channel are we talking about? We're talking about you? | 20:24 |
| pieisgood4589 | #ubuntu | 20:24 |
| pieisgood4589 | Yes | 20:24 |
| pieisgood4589 | I was banned for saying "lets play pong | 20:24 |
| PriceChild | Well for starters it seems offtopic | 20:25 |
| pieisgood4589 | Oh... | 20:25 |
| * PriceChild looks up the ban | 20:25 | |
| PriceChild | !offtopic | 20:27 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 20:27 |
| PriceChild | !guidelines | 20:27 |
| ubotu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 20:27 |
| pieisgood4589 | Ok | 20:27 |
| pieisgood4589 | Thank you. | 20:28 |
| PriceChild | For what? | 20:28 |
| PriceChild | ping ompaul | 20:28 |
| PriceChild | Read those two please pieisgood4589, and remind me of the purpose of #ubuntu | 20:28 |
| pieisgood4589 | Why? | 20:28 |
| pieisgood4589 | Ok | 20:29 |
| PriceChild | (the "ping" wasn't directed at you sorry) | 20:29 |
| pieisgood4589 | Oh... | 20:29 |
| tonyyarusso | ah, the subleties of "ping PriceChild" vs "PriceChild: ping" | 20:29 |
| pieisgood4589 | Haha | 20:29 |
| pieisgood4589 | ping ompaul | 20:30 |
| PriceChild | indeed, I should know better | 20:30 |
| pieisgood4589 | ompaul: ping | 20:30 |
| pieisgood4589 | ompaul:ping | 20:30 |
| PriceChild | pieisgood4589, what are you doing? Why do you need him? | 20:30 |
| PriceChild | PLEASE stop pinging him... | 20:30 |
| pieisgood4589 | I don't | 20:30 |
| pieisgood4589 | I'm just trying it out | 20:30 |
| pieisgood4589 | What does it do? | 20:30 |
| PriceChild | the same as when i do this pieisgood4589 | 20:31 |
| pieisgood4589 | Ok... | 20:31 |
| pieisgood4589 | Do what | 20:31 |
| PriceChild | pardon? | 20:32 |
| pieisgood4589 | Never mind. | 20:32 |
| pieisgood4589 | How long will my ban last? | 20:32 |
| pieisgood4589 | Can you tell? | 20:32 |
| Myrtti | *sigh* | 20:33 |
| Myrtti | 15mins added everytime you ask ;-) | 20:33 |
| pieisgood4589 | Oh... | 20:33 |
| Myrtti | the ban will be released when it's due | 20:34 |
| pieisgood4589 | Ok. | 20:34 |
| ptw | jenda: hi, can you help me sequester a nick | 20:34 |
| ptw | can anyone help me take over an unused nick? | 20:35 |
| javaJake | ptw, #freenode would be better for that if you're talking about IRC nicks | 20:36 |
| javaJake | Anyone able to remove the past conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic from the logs? | 20:36 |
| javaJake | I'm not worried about too much, just don't like my personal trials broadcasted for infinity on the 'net | 20:36 |
| jenda | ptw: here me is :) | 20:38 |
| javaJake | Nvm, #ubuntu-offtopic isn't logged. :P | 20:39 |
| PriceChild | gah at pieisgood going... :/ | 20:39 |
| jenda | ptw: seems like you've already had it your way ;) | 20:41 |
| ptw | jenda: someone just set me up in #freenode | 20:41 |
| jenda | ptw: :) | 20:41 |
| ptw | jenda: but the link he sent me to continue the process doesn't work | 20:42 |
| jdong | someone set us up the cloak! | 20:43 |
| jdong | XD sorry obligatory :D | 20:44 |
| PriceChild | jdong, wha?! | 20:52 |
| * jussi01 -> bed :D nite all. | 21:00 | |
| * jussi01 throws a snowball at jdong as he walks out :P | 21:00 | |
| LjL | *wasn't* logged... *g* | 21:21 |
| tonyyarusso | haha | 21:22 |
| LjL | someone have a clue what the hell kahrytan is doing in #ubuntu now? | 21:54 |
| Myrtti | looks like helping? | 21:56 |
| Tm_T | wasn't he banned? | 21:56 |
| LjL | no, just from -offtopic | 21:56 |
| LjL | i was wondering why he called !o4o | 21:56 |
| Tm_T | hmmm | 21:57 |
| Tm_T | I see | 21:57 |
| Myrtti | must've done it in error or like | 21:57 |
| Myrtti | let it pass | 21:57 |
| Tm_T | I agree | 21:58 |
| Myrtti | /me likes the idea of giving people some slack | 22:02 |
| jdong | slack is good, but Ubuntu has better package management :) | 22:02 |
| nalioth | yes, me too, Myrtti. | 22:02 |
| Kagar | LjL -- am I banned still? | 22:25 |
| === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia | ||
| LjL | yes Kagar, i think it will be a little longer than this | 22:35 |
| Kagar | Its been like 8 days now. :( | 22:44 |
| Kagar | not really. more like 4 or 5 | 22:44 |
| mneptok | Kagar: i looked at the ban after some other users remarked that they missed you. | 22:44 |
| Kagar | but all right.. do you have an estimate? | 22:44 |
| Kagar | mm, it's nice to know that I'm loved. | 22:44 |
| mneptok | Kagar: you've been banned multiple times, often for the same, unthinking, stupig type comments. | 22:44 |
| Kagar | even if I'm a butt | 22:44 |
| Kagar | eh, yeah. | 22:45 |
| mneptok | Kagar: i just wonder why you'd make the same dumb mistakes in channels where you're obviously wanted. | 22:45 |
| mneptok | no disrespect. just sayin' ... | 22:45 |
| mneptok | *shrug* | 22:45 |
| Kagar | I dunno, I'm just not used to moderators... So it's been an adjustment for me.. but seriously, I think I've gotten better than if there were zero moderators.. | 22:46 |
| mneptok | something to think about as LjL has his "i wonder if this guy has learned anything yet" inner monologue. | 22:46 |
| mneptok | but what do i know. i'm basically a trained baboon. | 22:46 |
| mneptok | "ook ook" | 22:46 |
| Kagar | heh | 22:46 |
| LjL | Kagar, estimate is month | 22:47 |
| Kagar | aeuurgghh | 22:47 |
| Kagar | -_- | 22:47 |
| Kagar | all right. I will return in one month... | 22:47 |
| Kagar | It'll allow me to work on some scholarship stuff. | 22:49 |
| somerville32 | Kagar, You can always check out the other channels :) | 22:50 |
| Kagar | yeah, ut I don't know about the other channels -- somerville32 | 22:57 |
| Kagar | most look lame or in other languages. | 22:58 |
| Kagar | but that's my personal opinion -- but I guess I can always quest. | 22:58 |
| ikonia | mneptok: is that the offical noise of a baboon | 23:02 |
| mneptok | ikonia: the standards body has yet to enact it, but it has been proposed. | 23:08 |
| ikonia | I'll wait for it to become main | 23:08 |
| ikonia | guys, little help please, UBUNTUSOLVED in #ubuntu trolling, giving out nonsense answer and bad advice on purpose | 23:34 |
| ikonia | %150 troll | 23:34 |
| ikonia | help please. | 23:34 |
| ikonia | nalioth: thank you | 23:35 |
| ikonia | fedup of kbrooks talking crap and offering people nosense for advice | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | It is no wonder I drink... | 23:42 |
| ikonia | he ALWAYS does it | 23:42 |
| ikonia | it's not fair on people | 23:42 |
| ikonia | had enough of it with him now | 23:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LjL: already dropped | 23:42 |
| LjL | ikonia: and for that matter, you used to be a serial RTFMer... :P anyway, paste the bad advice in here rather than arguing - if there should be arguing, better to bring it in here than #ubuntu | 23:43 |
| ikonia | totally | 23:44 |
| ikonia | RTM'er ? | 23:44 |
| ikonia | I still advise people to read the manual | 23:44 |
| LjL | there's nothing wrong with that in itself | 23:44 |
| LjL | ubuntuisloved coming | 23:44 |
| LjL | (probably) | 23:44 |
| LjL | lucian, how can we help you? | 23:45 |
| no0tic | ikonia, You teach fishing not give freash fishes to anyone :) | 23:47 |
| * LjL slaps no0tic with a trout that's definitely not fresh | 23:48 | |
| no0tic | *fresh, sorry | 23:48 |
| ikonia | I will give help, I just don't like people who just want the answer now now now, with no effort for no reason | 23:48 |
| ikonia | if someones strugglging no problem | 23:48 |
| * no0tic too | 23:48 | |
| ikonia | but "I need this now, because I do, and can't be bothered to read" | 23:48 |
| ikonia | I'll always just point them at the manual | 23:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Agreed, it is nice to see tham make some effort in solving the problem | 23:49 |
| ikonia | (not alway, but general rule of thumb) | 23:49 |
| ikonia | if they have made the effort to find the channel, then they can at least have a little look for the answer, somewhere | 23:49 |
| LjL | ikonia, reasonable in theory, but when you overdo it for a while, there is a risk of starting to *assume* that the guy didn't even try to read a thing... while they really might have been reading, but the wrong things. and i'm of the opinion that one should always *point* at the relevant manual, and make sure that the information *is* there directly (and if it's there indirectly, explain what's the indirectly relevant information to look for) | 23:50 |
| no0tic | ikonia, in the italian they excuse theirselves telling us they don't know english.. | 23:50 |
| LjL | anyway, i didn't mean to criticize your *current* approach really. | 23:50 |
| ikonia | LjL: %100 agree with that | 23:51 |
| ikonia | LjL: critisim is always welcome | 23:51 |
| ikonia | well, mostly | 23:51 |
| ikonia | no0tic: thats a fair point, cross-language stuff is hard | 23:51 |
| no0tic | LjL, after a while you spot easily who hasn't read anything at all | 23:51 |
| LjL | no0tic: or you just *think* you do. that's, imho, the mistake to be careful of | 23:51 |
| LjL | anyway | 23:52 |
| ikonia | LjL: yes, that is a fine line | 23:52 |
| LjL | ubuntuisloved: hi, how can we help you? | 23:52 |
| ikonia | apologies I didn't see ubuntuisloved enter | 23:52 |
| ubuntuisloved | i guess im under the impression that your mod's cannot handle thier powers correctly and I was thrown off a channel without a chance to explain anything | 23:53 |
| LjL | ubuntuisloved, i think you were warning, and as a response you told the person who warned you to stop | 23:53 |
| LjL | s/warning/warned/ | 23:53 |
| ubuntuisloved | i told them to stop harrasing me yes as they stated i was not helping the user although if they read my post i said use apt-get install *** etc... | 23:54 |
| ubuntuisloved | if a ubuntu mod cannot understand that im helping them with a question by telling them what to install we really need to rethink how we give powers out | 23:55 |
| ubuntuisloved | what specifically is s/warning/warned ? | 23:56 |
| LjL | ubuntuisloved: i meant to say that my typing "warning" was a typo, and i intended to type "warned" instead | 23:57 |
| ubuntuisloved | ohh | 23:57 |
| ubuntuisloved | i told them to not harrass me is this against the irc rules ? | 23:57 |
| ubuntuisloved | i didnt realize its ok for mod's to harrass users | 23:57 |
| LjL | ubuntuisloved, uhm, well it's offtopic i guess... but the point is that you were warned about (perceived?) bad behavior, and instead of replying logically you clearly stated you'd ignore the warning | 23:58 |
| nalioth | ubuntuisloved: a 'warning' is not harassment | 23:58 |
| ubuntuisloved | well how many mods are there handling the channel #ubuntu ? | 23:59 |
| LjL | a few | 23:59 |
| PriceChild | ubuntuisloved, You were trolling #ubuntu with nonsense. Neither answering specific questions, nor asking your own. Just gibberish. | 23:59 |
| ubuntuisloved | your telling me that out of all the mod's on that channel all of them can't read that i was telling the user how to install a program | 23:59 |
| nalioth | ubuntuisloved: we all have logs here. | 23:59 |
| LjL | (and they're called "operators" or "ops" on IRC, the terms are different from forums and such) | 23:59 |
