[00:00] yay [00:02] Pricey: when gutsy came out though, i thought it would do that already... and then it didn't [00:02] or was it even feisty [00:02] indeed [00:02] anyway, it'll *definitely* be like that in hardy [00:13] if lienus does not converse on next join ban [00:48] LiENUS, hello there, how can I help? [00:48] LiENUS, hi, how can we help? [00:48] heya Pricey :) [00:48] Howdy Seveas :P [00:49] LiENUS: that wasn't an autorejoin. speak. [00:49] ok then don't [00:50] speak now or forever hold your peace :) [00:50] or ban [00:50] he didn't speak [00:50] so i declare you married to ubotu [00:50] Maybe hes a mute [00:51] hmm [00:51] bantracker has plenty hits on him [00:52] he's still in -offtopic [00:52] well he can stay. as long as he keeps not speaking, he won't highlight me very much i guess [00:53] How about this one... he's in #idlerpg [00:54] that's... interesting. [00:54] How ironic. [00:57] * LjL isn't sure he gets the fun of that game but is somehow fascinated nevertheless [01:05] Pici: i agree [01:06] i think he called you a monkey though [01:12] LjL, maybe he meant it as compliment? [01:14] quite possibly. ops are indeed lowlier beasts [01:22] In #ubuntuforums-beginners, st33med said: Ubotu: coffee is Don't get me started. I already have had enough today [01:23] !java > st33med [01:23] java [02:37] ompaul: ircarc was banned from the network some months ago and we've not heard from them since [02:43] * Pricey hopes emma isn't just warming up [02:47] * mneptok catches the kahrytan crap in scrool [02:47] UK ambassador?

[02:58] dreading the knock on the door [02:59] heh [02:59] it's mneptok [02:59] is that a euphemism for pooping? [03:00] mneptok, if it is... then what's "the uk ambassador" a euphemism for? [03:01] Pricey: "some guy at the bus station that will still listen to my incessant stream of crap." [03:04] hahahaha [03:06] bots are failing. [06:04] astro76 called the ops in #ubuntu (joeamined [dcr]) [06:26] mjw- called the ops in #ubuntu (icesword) [06:30] hi, i would like to get unbanned please [06:40] hello? [06:47] theLichKing, so ehh, why were you banned? [06:47] i don't know.. i guess last time i asked a math question and got banned [06:48] can you remember any more about it? [06:48] no, i probably talked a little more after i've been directed to another room and got banned [06:52] 2008-01-28T10:48:34 (NICK DELETED): shut up dirty ape [06:52] oh, that [06:53] ever seen this [06:53] !guidelines [06:53] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:53] ok, sorry, i won't do it again.. can i get unbanned now [06:53] ehh no, what I want you to do is this [06:54] read that url and come back tomorrow, and you can tell whoever it is why you were banned [06:55] ops manage channels, #ubuntu is very busy - it does not need someone diverting peoples attention or dragging ops into conversations in it [06:55] people helping people 24/7 and you thought you had the right to try and use it as an alternative for some mild amusement for yourself [06:56] we would not concur, and so I ask you to read that url and come back tomorrow [06:56] theLichKing, is there anything else? [06:57] ompaul: no, just that.. thanks [06:57] right so see you tomorrow [06:57] ompaul: since you mentioned it, i have problems with sound on my new ubuntu installation [06:57] #ubuntu for support [06:57] can you help? or should i wait for tomrrow? [06:58] and that you can do tomorrow, hint - wiki.ubntu.com and search for alsamixer [06:58] good bye [06:58] bye [07:00] hello [07:01] hi [07:02] Can i suggest you split the #ubuntu channel into subchannels, my point is that back when ubuntu was still growing having one #ubuntu channel was okay because the low population meant questions could be followed and answered, now with over 1000 people in the same room, 1/2 of which are asking and answering questions, its a huge mess. This way of communication does not work well with 300 people asking questions at the sam [07:02] e time.. [07:03] we have had this conversation before - it won't work because you split helpers and they are not going to help in two channels [07:03] it is working most of the time the same as it did when we had less than 200 people (and we thought that was too busy) [07:03] For example, if you had 1 big forum on ubuntuforums, with everyone posting in one forum it would be a mess, but we have ubuntu-multimedia etc.. [07:03] we do have subdistros and things like -server [07:04] if your question is not straight forward you will get redirected [07:04] in the main if people use the bot and have good wiki pages for stuff then help works best [07:04] well perhaps make the channel more targeted with multimedia questions into #ubuntu-multimedia etc... that way also people more proficient can answer questions without wading through 20 lines/second of chat text [07:05] that would work in an ideal situation, however we all know that doesn't happen imho [07:05] the more proficient will not occupy thirty four channels to do what #ubuntu does [07:05] people ask, and ask and then ask again so it becomes just one long constantly scrolling buffer [07:05] siriusnova, we have discussed this time and again and we come to the same conclusion, it has been a topic since 2005 [07:05] :/ [07:06] i mean we DO have ubuntu-ops and ubuntu-offtopic and ubuntu+1 [07:06] for this very reason [07:06] we have +1 we have -uk and so forth [07:06] but the main #ubuntu is overflowing, something has to be done [07:06] yes but the topics for those channesl are specific [07:06] i mean its 1000 people clearly something isnt right [07:06] :( [07:06] it is not 1000 people chatting [07:07] even if only 1/4th are chatting that's 200 people! [07:07] IRC was not designed for 200 simulataneous converastions in one buffer [07:07] lol [07:07] imho [07:07] debian and gentoo are in the same boat - not everything talking all the time - it works - just keeping it ontopic helps [07:08] gsh [07:08] *gah :( [07:08] anything else? [07:08] so is there no solution at all? [07:08] :/ [07:09] as far as we can deduce this is correct - you got to work out - who would help where and then what would slip though the net [07:09] the cost is too high for that [07:10] hit the mailing list if you want and you will be drowned in silence or my answer above [07:10] anything else? [07:11] however, would splitting #ubuntu into multimedia and maybe administration or 5 more channels really inconvenience the ops that much? [07:11] not ops [07:11] helpers [07:11] yes helpers [07:11] i meant helpers [07:11] my assertion is people who want to help will help regardless [07:11] well yes it would I know I have 30 something channels opened and I know I miss stuff in channels I can help in cos I am in other ones ... [07:12] you might not see them all but that is another story ;-) [07:12] well i am not saying 30 something channels, like 3-5 would help tremendously [07:13] I don't concur cos people will populate the #ubuntu and the redirection given will not be followed and then how hard or soft are the lines in those channels [07:13] sudo this and root that [07:13] no too hard to draft manage and make work [07:13] does the need to know everything that is going on in a channel outweigh the benefits from a more easily followed and helpful chat environment? [07:13] herm [07:13] and then who falls though the net [07:14] it comes down to the same thing [07:14] well we currently redirect offtopic and +1 into their respective channels and I dont see how that is a problem [07:14] i dont understand what you mean by falling through the net [07:14] cos (A) +1 is about supporting the next version it came from this logic [07:14] hi ubuntu is stabe [07:14] where am i [07:15] ombig fuzzy bear X is broken [07:15] how is ubuntu stable if X is broken [07:15] so that caused that [07:15] ompaul - and we can subdivide ubuntu into the same way, perhaps a more generalized channels, i.e. desktop, server, multimedia [07:15] u remove x,then is stabler [07:15] yeah [07:16] it doesn't have to be 30 channels, just even 5 would make it so much more convenient and easy to follow then what the situation is right now [07:16] that is a good choice [07:16] we have mythtv studio --- we have server [07:16] i dont see how 3-5 more channels inconveniences helpers [07:16] :/ [07:16] we have over a hundred channels and #ubuntu is not being split [07:16] icesword: can we help you? [07:16] oh well [07:16] ty for listening [07:16] cheers [07:16] nalioth, what u mean [07:17] you came here - how can we help you [07:17] i am not here for help [07:17] what a coincidence, we're not either.
