LjLRufus_: let me check00:00
LjLRufus_: yes, it seems fixed00:00
LjLPriceChild: pity, the nickname kernelpanic is already registered00:02
Rufus_thank you ljl00:04
PriceChildhaha00:06
PriceChildnope, laptop decided to turn off wireless to save power when i closed the lid and didn't touch it for half an hour00:06
PriceChildThe bots did well there, guess that was a death?00:32
PriceChildoh i guess the first lot must have been flooded off or something00:33
LjLeh?00:35
LjLoh, attack00:35
LjLwas smoking00:35
LjLah split00:36
LjLPriceChild: it's reassuring that this time too, -J was set well before the actual split00:38
LjL(at last on my side of the split)00:38
PriceChild:)00:38
PriceChildLjL, howcome they aren't reporting in -monitor?00:39
LjLPriceChild, bot2 doesn't report on splits, and the other two were on the other side of the split. also, they only report when chanserv isn't pingable... when other bots are not pingable, they don't say anything00:39
PriceChildright ok thanks00:40
LjLrationale being that if chanserv isn't replying, then a human op may want to get +o just to be sure00:40
LjLif bots aren't replying, it might just be they're lagged00:40
LjLand if you see them setting -J in #ubuntu, it means a bot isn't replying to ping anyway00:41

LjL eBox is a framework for the development and deployment of security-wise network services in small and medium-sized networks, offering a simplified graphical interface to non expert users.02:10
LjLthat's *so* clear and informative02:10
LjLnot02:10
LjLi mean, i still don't have a clue what the heck it is02:10
Kamping_Kaiserhehe. is it intended as a webmin replacement?02:10
PriceChildi think its an alternative isn't it?02:10
LjLoh, well that's something at least02:11
LjL!webmin02:11
ubotuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system02:11
Kamping_Kaiserwebmin isnt in debian/ubuntu anymore, ebox is just coming in.02:11
LjL!no webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system - Consider "ebox" instead02:11
ubotuI'll remember that LjL02:11
PriceChildi'm wrong then :)02:11
LjL!info ebox02:11
ubotuebox: eBox - Base framework. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3-0ubuntu9 (gutsy), package size 127 kB, installed size 1220 kB02:11
Kamping_Kaiseranyhow, thought i'd drop by about that factoid. catch you next time ;)02:15

tonyyarussoI'm going to be publishing a video on my church's web site.  I'm going to recommend Ogg Theora for the format, of course.  However, since while free, most people don't have decoders for it, I'm guessing it would probably be wise to offer a second, less free but more common, format, with appropriate warnings, etc.04:06
naliothnickrud: that is what they wanted you to see ^^^^04:06
tonyyarussoMy question is, of the non-free video formats, which is the closest to being free (ie, least completely disgusting) while still coming pre-installed on Windows?04:06
nickrudnalioth, ah, ompaul showed me that already04:06
naliothnickrud: oh, ok.04:07

elkbuntus/they've taken/they're likely taking04:08
nixternalelkbuntu: you mean Google has taken ogg from the html spec04:08
nixternalcan't believe they listened to a bogus letter from nokia of all things04:08
elkbuntunixternal, i thought it was the w3c04:08
nixternalread the spec and see who it is signed by04:08
nixternalyou won't see w3c in it, but you will see Google signatures left and right04:09

HobbseeWGGMk: so, how does what you pasted in there yesterday relate to that?06:55
WGGMkHobbsee: it doesnt, however untill this morning my kid was using my laptop to get on the net. She pasted some link for mini cities I believe, today I cant login to #ubuntu06:56
tonyyarussoAnd so concludes another lesson in user accounts and computer security :)06:57
WGGMkHobbsee: normally she uses her MAC but I was rearranging my network physically and the only thing with net access now is my server and the laptop from my wireless AP.. I honestly didnt believe she would load up my IRC chat channels06:58
Hobbseeahhh06:59
HobbseeWGGMk: ban removed, please don't let it happen again.06:59
WGGMkHobbsee: much appreciated. If you look at my records, I have not and never will advertise in a support channel, however in hindsight of what transpired yesterday... Ive added daddy's IRC channels to the dansguardian list.. =)07:01

tonyyarussoompaul: Say, what's the next-freeest video format after Theora?  I was leaning towards MPEG-4 part 2.08:04
ompaulsome of the MPEG-4 stuff comes from MIT but not all of it - so you can't say anything about it in terms of freedom most of it is from the lock in specialists08:05
ompaulcopyright extremists08:05
tonyyarussoYeah, but pretty much everything seems to be.08:06
tonyyarussoompaul: My issue is this - I want to publish a video clip on my church web site.  The people doing the video stuff should be able to produce whatever I ask for.  I plan to put up a Theora version with big ol' "preferred" markers and such, but something else (supported out of the box by Windows) with a warning about the codec's nature, for those who refuse to install another codec (or can't).08:07
ompaulahh pretty much anything else can be looking for money08:08
ompaulhow about allowing the producers to pick a format of their own08:09

LjL!hostmask16:54

Seveasnalioth, LjL: incoming council request18:23
Seveas<sysdef> hi there. we [ the ops of #ubuntu-de(-*) ] need to get a channel back. first the channel was lost to spammer, now he's lost to ... dunno. please transfer #ubuntu-de-treffpunkt to juliux, dennda or to me. thanks a lot :)18:23
Seveas<sysdef> you seems to be the owner of the #ubuntu-* namespace18:23
Seveas<sysdef> -s18:23
Seveas<Seveas> the ubuntu irc council (found in #ubuntu-ops) is the owner18:23
Seveas<Seveas> Please ask them18:23
Seveasfwiw, I support the request, have seen the troubles with -treffpunkt before18:24
naliothi wish they'd make up their mind18:24
nalioththey wanted it forwarded to #ubuntu-de-offtopic last week18:24
Seveasheh18:24
Picisysdef is in here too....18:25
LjLsysdef, may mitsuhiko or smurfix ping us about that?18:27
sysdefis dennda or juliux also ok?18:27
sysdefnever seen smurfix there18:27
sysdefand we see mitsuhiko every 2-3 weeks18:28
naliothsysdef: what ACTUALLY do you want done with #ubuntu-de-treffpunkt?18:28
LjLsysdef, i'd like one of the contacts of #ubuntu-de... i guess if you really guarantee me that they wouldn't have problems with the contact change, we can do it anyway18:28
LjLi see juliux has some pretty high level in -de anyway so i guess it's ok18:29
sysdefk, i have access 30 there18:29
sysdefi'll ask him...18:29
denndahi fellows :)18:31
PiciLjL: floodbots just went a bit nuts in #ubuntu fyi18:33
LjLPici: they probably just set modes on their own servers, but we're seeing them all in a row now18:33
LjLhi dennda18:34
ardchoilleTo whom do I speak about bantracker access? I feel it would assist my performance as an op in kubuntu.18:34
LjLardchoille, we'll take care of that when possible. currently it's a bit complicated, but we're pretty aware of the issue18:34
ardchoilleLjL: Ah, thank you very much :)18:35

naliothdennda: can we be of service?19:02
naliothidling is not recommended here, folks19:03
denndanalioth: Yes I read that. Actually sysdef asked me to join the channel. We are ops in the german ubuntu channels and would like to ask you abandoning (or forwarding) #ubuntu-de-treffpunkt since it has been the target of spamming in the past. We set up #ubuntu-de-offtopic with spam-protection and that kind of stuff and the channel is running nicely since months.19:05
dennda(Actually, juliux and I sent a paper on that topic to the IRC-Council quite some time ago, but got no response back)19:05
dennda(We are here because #ubuntu-de-treffpunkt belongs to the IRC-Councils namespace)19:07
naliothi do not have that email, dennda19:07
LjLneither do i19:07
denndareally?19:07
naliothdo you remember _who_ you sent it to?19:07
LjLthink something must be wrong with that address...19:07
denndaI just talked about that with juliux on the 23th of this month and he said that we got no response back...19:08
LjL(btw, the right channel for this kind of thing is #ubuntu-irc, for the future, here deals with bans complaints etc from the channels we manage directly)19:08
LjLi'm sure you didn't, since we didn't get the email to begin with19:08
denndanalioth: I can't remember exactly, but I think juliux sent it...19:09
denndaTherefore I have no idea if he actually did and who got the mail19:09

ompaul:)19:44
Myrttipeople who suggest sudo su19:44
tonyyarussoAny idea how hard it would be to port Firefox extensions to Epiphany?  What would one need to learn in order to do so, starting with a knowledge base of practically nothing?19:44
Piciompaul: fyi, vampire is using 5.1019:44
Myrttithat last one is ok thogh19:44
crdlbtonyyarusso: you'd have to completely start over19:45
ompaulPici, I know19:45
PiciI'd like to see a nice written reccomendation about which sudo method is correct and/or arguments as to why to use each one.  Not the ubuntu wiki page.19:45
ompaulPici, I wrote some of that :P19:45
PriceChildwhat's wrong with the wiki page?19:45
tonyyarussocrdlb: I know ephy uses python - what language are Firefox ones in?19:45
PriceChildlarge factoids don't get read, and just spam channels19:46
PiciIt just says to not use sudo -s or -i, no mention of sudo su iirc.19:46
PriceChildwell its the principle19:46
PriceChildand wiki pages are editable19:46
* Pici does the research then19:46
Myrttisudo -i, sudo -u19:47
Myrttithose are the ones I use19:47
crdlbtonyyarusso: javascript19:47
ardchoilleMyrtti: Yes, ut those are listed under the "None of the methods below are suggested or supported by the designers of Ubuntu." section so should we not suggest them?19:47
tonyyarussocrdlb: seriously?  interesting19:48
crdlbtonyyarusso: and there's no way to talk to gecko using python extensions, so many epiphany extensions are only possible in C19:48
Myrttiardchoille: errrr? really?19:48
PiciMyrtti: Yes, thats why I wanted a link that wasnt the wiki page.19:49
ardchoilleMyrtti: In the wiki page, yes. That's what had me confused.19:49
tonyyarussocrdlb: Well, what I really want atm is an Epiphany version of stumbleupon19:49
Picis/myrtti/ardchoille19:49
naliothtonyyarusso: why not port them to galeon? epiphany sucks.19:49
ardchoilleWell, if they aren't supported or recommended, should they even be in that wiki page?19:49

* nalioth thought epiphany was abandoned . . .19:50
* ardchoille thought galleon and epihpany merged19:50
tonyyarusso"Galeon’s initial development team split in 2002 due to disagreements about the target audience. This split led to the creation of Epiphany, a fork of Galeon. On October 22, 2005, the Galeon developers announced plans to stop development of Galeon in its current form, saying “the current approach is unsustainable” in the resources required for maintenance. Instead, they hope to develop a set of extensions for Epiphany to provide s19:51
ardchoilletonyyarusso: Ah, thanks19:51
naliothtonyyarusso: well, it seems that it went nowhere (meaning: I prefer galeon over epiphany)19:56
tonyyarussonalioth: how come?19:58
naliothepiphany doesn't work well for me  :(19:59
naliothit seems "empty" of features that galeon has19:59
ompaulnalioth, there is a package called epiphany-extensions20:04
tonyyarussoplus third party ones not in core20:05
naliothwhere does one find epiphany extensions in the wild?20:07
tonyyarussohttp://www.gnome.org/projects/epiphany/extensions20:07
tonyyarussohttp://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/ThirdPartyExtensions20:07
ompaulfolks what do you think of putting a notice like this in the topic20:08
tonyyarussoYay, there will be a third edition of the Ubuntu Book for 8.0420:08
PiciYay.20:08
ompaulchanging your nick in this channel is likely to get you removed20:08
ompaulin #ubuntu?20:08
PiciAt least a re-visitation of our away policy would be nice.20:08
ompaulban on sight20:09
PiciThats always your answer.20:09
ompaulokay ban forward to here20:09
ompaulthen we can talk with them and say please don't do that20:09
ompaulthat seems to work elsewhere20:10
PiciChanging your nick is a pretty trivial thing to add to the topic.. which no one reads anyway.20:11
naliothand it's not the extensions, either, it's "how it works"20:15
MyrttiI notice JimmyDee present again20:27
PiciLeaving for a bit, might want to keep and eye on x3roconf in #ubuntu, hes a bit trollish.20:28
MyrttiLjL: i wanna soap him20:36
stdinLjL: her (n=her@unaffiliated/her) : her  is "nickname" too20:37
LjLstdin: two cloaks?!20:37
stdinseems so, same ident/real name20:38
LjLnalioth: ^20:38
stdinalso same part message20:38
naliothand the problem is?20:41
LjLnalioth: a same user with two different unaffiliated cloaks...?20:42
LjLit's bad enough when unaffiliateds spam and then come back without the cloak20:42
naliothLjL: there are lots of users with two nicks20:43
LjLtwo *cloaks*20:43
naliothi'm sorry, i'm not understanding20:44
LjLnalioth, nickname!n=her@unaffiliated/nickname (realname "her") spammed #ubuntu. then stdin noticed that her!n=her@unaffiliated/her is, most likely, the same user20:44
LjLi guess you could make sure it really is the same use by checking the IP20:44
naliothwill do20:45
LjLthat quit message was nice20:46
LjLi guess it's the first time i see a real nick collision on this network20:46
naliothsomerville32: can we help you?21:16
tonyyarussonalioth: Is there a sane place on the network where one could discuss filesharing in terms of the technical aspects, clients, network differences, etc. without the conversation quickly running afoul of Freenode policies on illegal activities?21:18
LjLtonyyarusso: #ubuntu-offtopic and i'll defend your right to talk about it until i get banned myself21:18
tonyyarussoLjL: fair enough21:19
* tonyyarusso is guessing #defocus would go down the tubes pretty quickly, but it's the only other one I could think of21:19
* MenZa plunges tonyyarusso down the tubes.21:20
somerville32nalioth, No, I'm fine but I'd ask that you not kick me :)21:22
naliothwell, we'd ask that you not idle here  :)21:23
somerville32I'm not an idler :)21:23
PriceChildsomerville32, is there anything I can help you with?21:26

PriceChildsomerville32, are there any questions or subjects that you would like to discuss regarding bans, operators or abuse in the main ubuntu channels?21:31
somerville32I have spent the last 14 months in this channel. If I had a concern, I think you'd hear about it.21:32
PriceChildI think that is what he was referring to.21:32
naliothsomerville32: you've also been removed quite a bit, due to idling21:35
somerville32nalioth, Not that I know of.21:35
somerville32[15:22] * You have left channel #ubuntu-ops (requested by nalioth: "No idling, please"21:36
naliothso was there any business that resemble what PriceChild asked you about, somerville32 ?21:38
somerville32No and nor is there any reason for me to be kicked from this channel.21:38

ompaulompaul, Dec 28 2007 12:05:2322:24
ompaulthat was the UTC time of the ban22:25
ompaulthis is about 10 hours later22:25
ompaulyou are based in the US it would have been 4am or some such - so it is not a day22:25
ompaullinuxfce, however I'll do something I am not known for :-)22:25

ompaullinuxfce, you may go please stay ontopic thanks22:28
* ompaul chuckles22:28
ompaulthat ego got in the way of getting readmitted perhaps22:28
naliothidling is against channel policy.  if you are idling, please depart22:28
ompaullinuxfce, anything else we can do for you?22:28
PriceChildThere have been a few people cycling in/out of here lately22:28
Myrttithat feller22:29

mc44oh this again. how fun22:35
Myrttijanc should be voiced, i think22:35
MenZaIt was my belief, that individuals known and trusted by the IRC council, were allowed here.22:35
* MenZa floats to lists.22:35
MyrttiAs an op of -women22:36
* MenZa lifts eyebrow22:37
JanCI'm just here because then I can see if anything happens that I can use in those channels that I have op-rights in (e.g. -women, -be & -nl)22:37
Myrtti^22:37
atoponcenalioth: what ubuntu channel does -ops extend?22:38
naliothatoponce: the primary channels #ubuntu #kubuntu #xubuntu #edubuntu and derivatives22:38
naliothatoponce: #ubuntu-irc is the channel for #ubuntu-XX folks22:38
atoponceahh. ok. fair enough22:39
mc44pointless and random enforcing of a policy that was implemented for reasons completely unrelated to kicking everyone idling time. woo.22:40
JanChm, I thought I was in -irc too, seems like xchat truncated my channel list again  :-(22:40
MyrttiI came here only as a -fi op and look where I've ended up in ;-)22:40

PriceChildJanC, I use an autojoin script instead of xchat's channel field22:41

mitchp_hello, i am hoping to get some information on a ban against my ip at work and my nick.  I do apologize for it, but there was no warning that I saw, is there any way to remedy this?22:53
LjLmitchp_: do you understand that giving destructive commands in channels is a really bad idea?22:54
PriceChildbeginners do copy/paste commands like that22:55
PriceChildit even followed the suggestion of "man"22:55
mitchp_I do, however it was not a support channel and I believe it ot be destructive to the community not to discuss things and to simply instantly ban people who say it.  It was not given as advice, and was in the offtopic channel.22:55
mitchp_I'm not saying it wasn't wrong or that I would consider doing it again, but kicking me out of the community for a single act without warning seems a bit harsh22:57
PriceChildDo you understand the reasoning for that behaviour being wrong and not tolerated?22:58
LjLmitchp_: well, you're here to discuss it22:58
PriceChildIs it going to happen again?22:58
mitchp_I do, and no it won't.  I know there are people who will blindly follow these commands, I just didn't realize it was to the point where an uttering in jest would result in such harsh penalties22:59
LjLpeople who blindly follow the command get an even (much) harsher penaility22:59
ompaulit is not half as harsh as to the poor someone else who follow it23:00
Madpilotwe've all seen 'noobs' follow *any* command mentioned in IRC23:00
ompauljust to see how it works23:00
ompauland frankly that is one of the nasty ones23:00
PriceChildhmm didn't i ban you in -offtopic? :/23:00
mitchp_Madpilot, I didn't realize that23:00
PriceChildcan't see it anymore23:00
ompaulPriceChild, you did23:00
mitchp_yes it was offtopic23:00
ompaulso how are you back there23:00
PriceChildand now you're at a different hostname...23:00
ompaulhmm23:00
ompaulthat we call ban avoidance and look upon it very dimly23:01
mitchp_this ip is different as well as the nick.  I came to try and get answers and to see if I could fix this, not in an attempt to evade a ban23:01
ompaulwell leave -ot for a mo please23:01
mitchp_i am no longer in offtopic23:01
ompaulthanks23:01
PriceChildmitchp_, I've removed the ban.23:01
mitchp_Thank you.  I am deeply sorry.  Not to happen again23:01
PriceChildGood good. Have fun.23:02
PriceChildmitchp_, one other thing23:02
mitchp_yes?23:02

LjL!defrag23:06
ubotudefragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.23:06
LjLmuch more efficient than what? who says it's not needed? going to change that.23:06
Myrttimitchp: anything else we could help you with? :-)23:07

mitchpno, I'll just be chatting in ot.  Thanks.23:07
LjL!no defragmentation is <reply> The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.23:08
