[01:05] agenda item [01:05] PriceChild: too huge an effort for you huh [01:05] mmmhm [01:05] PriceChild: might be a problem during the summer [01:05] where is the agenda?

To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [01:06] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/IrcCouncil/MeetingAgenda [01:06] * PriceChild runs and hides [01:06] figures [01:06] Nobody reads the topic. [01:06] Please don't hurt me. [01:06] PriceChild: if ever actually entered a channel, i'd read it :P [01:06] pff i forget every time [01:06] "nalioth doesn't /join, he's just there" === mc44_ is now known as mc44 [01:07] nalioth, LjL but something like that on. [01:07] whoops... [01:08] i managed to change channel whilst typing that :/ [01:08] soldats, how can I help you? [01:08] can i be rechecked im on a different distro so nothing is set up right [01:08] i changed prts to 8001 [01:09] soldats: you're good [01:09] Are you cheating on us with another distro? [01:09] soldats: you can rejoin #ubuntu now [01:09] well i wanted to try out gentoo again to gain more experience with linux in general. i lo\/e learning [01:10] my key is borked sorry [01:10] thank you === LjL changed the topic of #ubuntu-ops to: Welcome to the home of the Ubuntu IRC Team operators | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam | This channel is for operator/abuse questions in the IRC Team domain only | Support in #ubuntu, #kubuntu etc... | LoCo channel discussion etc. to #ubuntu-irc | We reserve the right to remove idlers from the channel | IRC Council meeting currently in #ubuntu-meeting, agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/IrcCouncil/MeetingAgenda [01:44] PriceChild, sorry, i slept in courtesy of a 5am bed the night before last, and a battle with a spider until 2:30am last night [01:45] elkbuntu, we'll live :) [01:45] The intarwebs aren't the most important things in the world. [01:45] if the wildlife keep messing with me like this, i dont know if i will :Þ [01:45] lol [01:45] you'll have a couple of kangaroos in there in a minute [01:48] What's the deal with the 3 floodbots that flood the room with messages? [01:48] Is it a joke? [01:49] RyanPrior: flood the room with messages? [01:49] what are you talking about? [01:49] nalioth: They keep changing settings and stuff, usually many times in a row, and each one will cause many IRC clients to print lines of text, pushing away the conversations. [01:50] RyanPrior: you can safely /ignore them all. [01:50] they are there for channel protection [01:50] I assume it's somehow necessary to have 3 of them? [01:51] RyanPrior: they are on a failover system. they are located on 3 differnent boxes [01:51] That's a lot of protection./ [01:51] stdin: that was completely sarcasm, by the way. [01:52] yeah, I caught that [02:54] nickrud called the ops in #ubuntu () [02:55] random idiot bot [02:55] hrm.. that bot seems to be in a lot of channels [02:57] Pici: it was in a lot of channels [02:57] nalioth: nice :) [02:59] unwelcome bot. no owner online. Bye-Bye [03:04] nalioth: bots back. [03:05] hmm, not interfering w/ ubotu currently [03:41] shitbowl: change your nick please [03:43] * nalioth hands stdin for his mouth [03:43] some soap [03:43] bleh [03:44] * Pici washes nalioth's mouth out with stdin [03:45] * Hobbsee washes Pici out with soap [05:34] In #kubuntu, Agent_bob said: !nv is pretty well supported. [06:53] alow. [06:54] moin [06:54] Adien_imutz: how can we help you? [06:59] wow, it talks! [06:59] Adien_imutz: helloo [06:59] jussi01: yes, I do, at times [07:00] Tm_T: I thought that was the bot... [07:00] no idea [07:01] I remember the mask... [07:01] although the other one was sy002 IIRC... [07:03] elkbuntu: you around? [07:04] jussi01, yep? [07:05] Adien_imutz, can we help you? [08:30] I love it when several ops pipe in with basically the same answer :) [08:30] You people ROCK! [08:30] well [08:31] I WAS THERE FIRST! [08:31] * Tm_T hides [08:31] hehe [08:31] fwiw, Seattle in the winder time sucks. Several power outages in the last few days :( [08:32] Jucato: ? [08:32] yes? [08:32] you opped? [08:32] yes [08:32] Maybe standing by, this is starting to sound troll-ish [08:33] :) [08:33] hm.. ok... [08:33] Jucato <3 [08:33] * Jucato has never tried to take op from a fellow op before... [08:33] where? [08:33] well of course it's been done to me numerous times by nixternal [08:33] Jucato: it is joke from my side, son :) [08:34] yep. [08:34] Jucato: anyway, you're available for some time now? [08:34] or other ops there [08:34] but nixternal's way is better. he gets ChanServ to do the dirty work for him :) [08:34] Hobbsee: #k [08:34] Jucato: heh [08:34] I need to make some calls, running out of food [08:35] IF I'm able to call anymore [08:35] :) [08:35] ardchoille is there. and Hobbsee just came in. I'm sure one of us will be there to see if anything happens :) [08:35] anyway, patch me there, see you soon I hope -> [08:35] patch -p0 < Tm_T [08:35] hehe [08:36] oh wait.. that applies a patch named Tm_T... doesn't patch Tm_T.. :/ [08:36] :p [08:36] :D [08:49] Quest [08:50] that guy is getting on my nerves [08:50] He keeps pm'ing me despite my telling him torefrain from it [08:50] ardchoille: you're not the only one [08:50] lol [08:54] Why does the nick "jono" ring a bell? [08:54] ardchoille: he is "community leader" [08:54] Ah, that's it [09:48] interesting - hadn't seen Floodbot in operation before [09:51] it's pretty nice [09:51] i don't think it should give them two chances though [09:52] but i suppose that'd be hard to write and easy to take advantage of [12:26] stf called the ops in #kubuntu () [12:30] done [13:26] ikonia called the ops in #ubuntu (_nix_ regular troll swearing) [13:26] someone watch nix in #u [13:26] too late [13:26] I saw him come in [13:26] lol [13:26] !staff [13:26] and as I was typing in here he started up [13:27] Hey nalioth, jenda, rob, SportChick, seanw, Dave2 or Christel, I could use a bit of your time :) [13:27] sorry - I was typing too slow [13:27] #ubuntu chan ban list is full ... @staff [13:27] is it really [13:27] wow [13:27] * #ubuntu *!*@122.168.42.124 :Channel ban list is full [13:27] again? [13:28] again !!! [13:28] wow [13:28] do we not have allowance for long ban list? [13:28] * Mez removes any bans he set before nov [13:32] Mez, you DO [13:32] you've managed to fill up the long ban list... [13:32] Dave2, :( [13:32] * Mez stes mode #ubuntu +uberbanlist [13:32] bear in mind that +e, +d, +I, etc all count towards it. [13:32] * Mez sets mode Mez -typo [13:34] Mez, time to weed out all dynamic hostmasks [13:35] * Mez volunteers Gary to do that [13:35] yeah, well after last time you did it, you're not doing it again :Þ [13:35] I was clearing my bans [13:35] and I just cleared my old bans correctly [13:36] without clearing every ban? [13:36] !no staff is s/Dave2/Dave2, Gary/ [13:36] I'll remember that Mez [13:36] elkbuntu, indeed I did :D [13:37] http://rafb.net/p/uOYQj084.html [13:37] Mez, keep an eye on UBUNTUISLOVED while i clear out all these dynamic bans [13:38] nothing in the backlog [13:38] want me to clear bans?> [13:39] elkbuntu: he's a regular pain [13:39] ikonia, which is why i asked mez to hawk him [13:40] elkbuntu, I've got a list of bans here that are before start of december... want me to remove them ? [13:40] ahhh [13:40] thought it was because of his current behaviour [13:41] Mez, make sure they're not protecting from really nasty trolls [13:42] theres only a few [13:42] Mez, tell me when you're done then [13:42] watch the channel and see if I remove anything that I didnt notice. [13:42] mass remove in 3 sec [13:43] done (noticed one as it scrolled past and readded) [13:43] you unbanned several all-host bans there [13:44] hmm ? [13:44] fagubuntu for example [13:44] superpigs for another [13:44] yeah, noticed that as I was reading back too .. [13:45] those two readded [13:45] superpigs - what a great nick [13:46] the usuario one is a bot net iirc [13:47] pray tell, did you check any of these against the ban tracker or did you just mass select? [13:49] https://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/bans.cgi?query=usuario&kicks=on&oldbans=on&bans=on&oldmutes=on&mutes=on for example [13:57] oh, and i just notice now, you removed two forwards to -read-topic, so trolls will have fun next time they exploit while they're in the channel [14:11] Amaranth, the floodbot should *not* give pasters two chances. rather, it should mute and keep the mute on *until they've finished pasting*. if the mute is removed earlier, then there's either crazy lag on freenode, or a bug in the algorithm [14:13] ... but in the case at hand, i suppose that guy actually stopped flooding on purpose, to get unmuted. [14:21] whoa, had more than i thought [14:24] !latest [14:24] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. [14:24] !-latest [14:24] latest is sense - added by Seveas on 2006-06-19 13:43:19 [14:24] !highno [14:24] A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [14:25] !no latest is highno [14:25] You are editing an alias. Please repeat the edit command within the next 10 seconds to confirm [14:25] !no latest is highno [14:25] I'll remember that LjL [14:28] stdin: he's right about it, the release notes confirm [14:30] LjL: well if it's not even in debian unstable, there's not a lot one can do except try the .deb (can be dangerous) or compile [14:32] stdin: of course. but if one has a valid reason, i'm not totally against taking such risks (as long as one *understands* there are such risks, that is) [14:33] LjL: agreed on that point [14:51] weird, why did kubuntu kick me to here [14:51] robot_jesus: one sec [14:51] robot_jesus: i don't know, but let me check [14:52] !language | robot_jesus [14:52] robot_jesus: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:52] were you aware of that policy of ours? [14:54] meh, i can't make cat read from stdin. [14:54] cat << EOF [14:55] stdin: oh right, i'm such a fool. [14:55] LjL: well, he'll know best [14:55] indeed that was merely a covert way to highlight him... [14:56] cat should understand "-" too, so "echo 1|cat -" will work [14:56] stdin, don't waste your brain and just look above :P [14:56] didn't think you could echo into cat [14:56] does work though [14:57] stdin: you can just do "echo 1 | cat" for that matter, cat reads from stdin by default [14:57] yes [14:57] "cat" with no arguments reads from stdin and writes to stdout [14:57] didn't seem obvious [14:57] yeah, btu you can do "echo --- | cat file1 - file2" to get a nice separator :) [14:57] oh sure :) [15:02] ahh cause I was calling everone sl*ts [15:03] !guidelines > robot_jesus [15:03] * robot_jesus slaps jpatrick [15:03] * robot_jesus runs [15:03] ? [15:06] ... [15:06] i think the ban stays? [15:07] doesn't look like it [15:07] well I removed the forward, doen't look like discussion will help [15:48] hello [15:49] any idea on how to print using canon pixma ip1200? I tried installing drivers for ip2200 ver2.60, but nothing.. [15:49] oops [15:49] wrong channel [15:49] hmm.. got thrown into wrong channel.. [15:51] There is usually a reason that happens.. Hold on for a few... Someone will check it out... [15:51] yeah, you're being forwarded for your nick [15:51] it's not targetted at you [15:56] elkbuntu [15:59] Prez, please join #ubuntu, sorry for the inconvenience. [15:59] Prez, i suggest however that you register to freenode and obtain a unique IRC identify. [15:59] !register | Prez [15:59] Prez: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [16:00] ok, thanks [16:01] will do.. === Prez is now known as Prez__ [16:21] Jack_Sparrow: because you joined #ubuntu+1...? [16:21] Actually, I didnt [16:21] well, you did, whether it was voluntary or not i don't know [16:22] [17:05:40] --> Jack_Sparrow has joined this channel (n=jack@ppp-69-236-245-93.dsl.sndg02.pacbell.net). [16:22] Yea, I got it that I joined.. dont know how I was pushed there... [16:22] Jack_Sparrow: it wasn't an /invite, because nobody was opped. you might be banforwarded from somewhere [16:23] Just found it odd.. I have not tried to join any channels this am.. [16:23] No biggie, just dazed and confused [16:25] LjL, ? [16:25] oh, he finally spoke? [16:25] elkbuntu: well, that one did, but i don't know if it's "your" prez [16:25] we also got a PreZLaptop [16:27] well that guy is going to need a new nick anyway... this is for prezlaptop: -NickServ- Last Seen: 3 hours 31 minutes 29 seconds ago (PreZ seen 12 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds ago) [16:27] Jack_Sparrow, check your server window to see if a redirect is listed there. [16:28] Nothing listed there... [16:28] elkbuntu: anyway *.ni shouldn't have anything to do with the "bad" prez? [16:28] LjL: Odd that even after you allowed him he did not join.. (Prez) [16:29] Jack_Sparrow: he was busy changing his nickname to something that nickserv would allow him to register [16:29] and after he did, the ban exemption i gave him wouldn't work anymore [16:29] since it was bound to the nickname "prez" [16:30] changed it now [16:30] Ok.. I have a page to help with his printer ready when he shows up [16:30] he shouldnt need a ban exempt at all now [16:31] LjL: is neocrysis who I think he is? [16:31] jpatrick, i've had this like ready to paste into #ubuntu-irc for some time: #ubuntu-es operators, [17:23:44] --> neocrysis has joined this channel (n=chatzill@190.20.199.144). [16:31] but i don't really know. [16:31] his IP does begin with 190, but that's about it [16:32] well, he's /whois isn't helpful [16:32] he's on chatzilla, it can't be [16:33] well, he left, but fmaq is part of the group [16:33] * jpatrick thinks he's nearing channel limit again [17:01] gah capital I, lowercase i.... [17:01] and what was that invite on?! : [17:09] In #kubuntu, cobb28 said: ubotu: is that the only big issue currently? as opposed to a 32bit install? I;ve had bad luck with kubuntu in the past but would like to give it another try..currenlty using ubuntu with no issues but my new PC is coming ina few hours and I;d like ot do a fresh format [17:09] ignore that^^ [17:10] Well, the bot is the only friend some folks have in there [17:10] :P [17:10] hehe === profoX_ is now known as profoX` [17:31] * crdlb wonders where people find pdfs that evince can't open ... [17:35] crdlb: the ones with sounds/movies? :D [17:40] oh I just found my adverb of the day! [17:40] bug 177492 [17:40] Launchpad bug 177492 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "EXA is balls-achingly slow" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/177492 [17:49] jdong: that's keybuk for you :) [17:50] :) [19:39] Does anyone know why I keep getting forwarded here when I try to join #ubuntu? [19:40] hey iostat, one moment [19:43] iostat, could you change your quit message please? [19:51] what's the policy on banning if ban is evaded? [19:51] jpatrick, ban again [19:51] jpatrick, try and talk to them in pm [19:52] jpatrick, infact... [19:52] jpatrick, talk to them *before* banning again. [19:52] Try and sort things out first, half the time they don't realise what's happenned. [19:53] PriceChild: I think this guy's a special case (evsa) [19:53] If its malicious ban evading then just fight it. [19:53] ban again [19:54] I would change it if I knew how. [19:54] Kinda new to the whole IRC thing. [19:54] iostat, obviously not. [19:54] how so? [19:54] iostat, No client has that quit message by default. You have changed it yourself already. [19:55] THat is true, but I thought I changed it for that session only. I issued a quit command with the text in question. [19:55] Didn't realize it would persist [19:55] I don't know how to change it without quitting. [19:56] iostat, it may not be persistant, i haven't seen another quit from you [19:56] you may have just quit with that message once, the problem is just that it showed up in #ubuntu [19:56] iostat, if you can promise it won't show up again i'll remove the ban [19:56] Oh... [19:56] That's why I can't get into the room? [19:56] Yes. [19:56] Gotcha, let me see if I can change it with a quit really quick. I'll be back. [19:57] LjL: ping [19:57] !guidelines > iostat [19:57] iostat, the ban has been removed. Check out the link from ubotu please :) [19:58] jpatrick, need him to do with the above? [19:58] Thanks sir/ma'am! [19:58] how polite :) [19:58] ma'am. [19:58] *hides* [19:59] PriceChild: Crysis (evsa) wants to rejoin, but he is rather troublesome and I've had to ban him multiple times [19:59] jdong, now look here chap! That's just not acceptable - whatwhat. [19:59] jpatrick, talking to him in pm? [20:00] PriceChild: do you know of the situation with him? [20:01] Nope, I assume then its beyond that? [20:01] (lj.l is /away which is why i'm bothering with this :) ) [20:02] I've seen bad stuff with him and I've heard stuff from others [20:08] Hmm what else has happenned this month which i can add to reports. [20:08] what's in it? [20:08] jpatrick, have you tried talking to him at all? [20:08] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports/January2008 [20:09] PriceChild: he's back in, and another op told me they'd done it [20:09] ok [20:09] now he's /msg'ed em [20:22] ok, I hate this guy [20:36] jpatrick: your choice, but if it were mine, and modulo any noise he might manage to stir up about it.. [20:36] don't remove that ban. [20:37] LjL: too late [20:37] LjL: now, he's bashing me in /msg [20:37] jpatrick: but he's banned or not? [20:37] better than bashing you in channel [20:37] I've decided to just ignore [20:37] LjL: another op would like to just see him disappear [20:38] by the way: [20:03:39] kkl bak Sana msnd Ne Göstreecm || ilayda_28f H o t m a i l [20:38] spam PM from this guy [20:38] LjL: the others in the channel wanted the ban removed [20:38] jpatrick, well, i know that feeling. [20:38] i see he just joined. [20:39] ... [Excess Flood] [20:39] < Elidix> jodete [20:39] +1000 [20:40] * LjL wonders why he excess flooded [20:43] do we have to reply to /msg's? [20:44] cos I have better things to do [20:45] jpatrick: are you kidding? [20:45] hell no. [20:45] tell him to come to the ops channel if he has complains [20:45] and that's it [20:45] (not *this* ops channel though please... the -es one if you have it, or -irc otherwise) [20:45] (i think you guys really should have an ops channel anyway) [20:46] I tried making one, it was considered unecessary due to the size of the channel [20:48] maybe... but you do seem to have both disagreements among ops, and people wanting to appeal [20:48] so it's something to consider imho [20:49] meanwhile anyway, if you don't feel like replying to PMs, just don't [20:49] jpatrick: remember there is a /silence command on freenode [20:49] (although i personally prefer soft-ignore) [20:49] LjL: yeah, I've opted for the soft-ignore [20:51] LjL: lots of crap clients try to /names on connect. if the person has a lot of large channels on autojoin, this can flood them off [20:51] and yeah, i don't think any ops should use /silence or /ignore [20:51] nalioth: why would they /names? the NAMES list is given *automatically* by the server when a channel is joined [20:52] nalioth: uhm, i think /silence is fine... as an op, you can still see whatever's going on in the channel, but you don't have to be verbally abused in a query and put up with it [20:52] LjL: as i said "crap clients" [20:52] although i still prefer to exercise the force of will to just avoid replying to the insults [20:52] but that's just me [20:52] LjL: but what if your query abuser is giving you good info? [20:53]
