[11:08] DrDerek [11:08] Myrtti, sigh, if I had seen it in time he'd be banned [11:09] * elkbuntu wishes we had a 'ban in retrospect' allowance sometimes [11:28] does anyone know if auto_bleh has a kick forward option? (without banning) [11:32] a forward is a ban [11:33] ok. [12:14] * nalioth happens to be a #gentoo op <--- aren't you just an op EVERYWHERE ? *steals your superpowers* [12:15] Mez: nalioth is _the_ man, he _owns_ freenode :P [12:16] jussi01, no, christel is _the_ woman she _owns_ freenode :P [12:16] lol [12:16] Mez: true, but nalioth is right there beside her :D (rock on nalioth ) [12:17] lol [12:17] now, how many times did we ping him :P?? [12:17] thats a scary thought [12:17] I'm sure he doesnt higlight his own name, I think he highlights on random stuff, he certainly turns up at strange times [12:18] heh, probably, like if you said !sta.ff [12:18] nah, he doesnt always turn up then :P [12:18] maybe on "piss" [12:19] Mez: I have that on hilight :P [12:19] lol [12:23] piss off :p [12:23] hahahahahhahaha [12:24] Seveas, lol - by the way, I think the number you have on Nickserv for you is wrong [12:24] I tried to annoy you yesterday and it didnt get through [12:24] battery is dead [12:24] ah lol, well, when you charge, if you charge in the next 48 hours, you'll have a message from me. [12:25] Ignore it === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [13:09] Strawberryjam: Hello, how can we help you today? [13:10] hey there, i have been banned from #ubuntu, might be accidently [13:10] Let me take a look at our logs, hold on [13:10] i used MIRC power pack as recommended [13:10] and i think it did somthing automatically [13:11] ok thnx [13:11] btw...i am new to all this [13:14] Strawberryjam: When was the last time you were in #ubuntu? [13:14] about 2 days ago...i remember right clicking a users name, then i was muted i think...then banned [13:16] Strawberryjam: You pasted the definition of 'flatulent' into the channel. [13:16] yep...i remember that turned out to be flooding...not my intention at all [13:17] Did you mean to paste that at all? [13:17] i was looking for a response to someone that said he farted (lol [13:18] then that happened...had no idea it would paste it on diff lines [13:19] Strawberryjam: Can you Please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines , #ubuntu is a support channel, its not for joking around, regardless of if other people are doing so. [13:19] i also think that my client must have done somthing when i got muted...i have no idea what [13:19] i understand that...its my major source of information, i am sorry [13:20] Strawberryjam: Please read those guidelines and when you are done you may rejoin #ubuntu. also take note of the channel topics here and in #ubuntu. [13:21] thank you...one more thing...could you recommend a secure irc client...the one i used was recommendedby a friend, but it might get me into trouble [13:24] on which os? [13:24] Linux, Windows? [13:24] linux and windows....i am using pidgin now in linux... [13:25] xchat is nice if you prefer qui [13:25] gui, even [13:26] ok...i'll take some time and check them out...thank you for your time, and help [13:26] bye [13:26] bye [13:47] LjL: I was just thinking the same thing. [13:48] And now it seems they brough a few more with them. [13:49] Pici: they're still talking crap [13:50] Pici: [14:49:28] anybody got any good porn sites <- reason of the kick [13:51] LjL: *shakes head*, do they realize that they are muted? [13:51] i don't think so [13:51] what's with sudobash? [13:52] jrib: uhm i banned him yesterday [13:52] 08:51:12 you need to take the second ban down off or i will just keep using proxy servers [13:52] :) [13:53] Was just coming to point out sudobash's comments about a ban, but I see Pici just mentioned it, I'll go in that case [13:53] :) [13:54] [14:53:37] dude I help people a lot with Ubuntu [13:54] [14:53:56] come to discuss in #ubuntu-ops if you want [13:54] [14:54:09] and I have some strong ties at Dell [13:55] sudobash, ban evasion, by policy, is completely unacceptable. since you help a lot as you said, you certainly should have known that, as well as the fact that #ubuntu is far from the right place to appeal a ban. [13:56] ok fine i will go to efnet if ubuntu isnt the right place to help people who use ubuntu [13:56] which it is [13:57] sudobash, as you wish [13:57] man i have used ubuntu for 1 1/2 years now and I help as much as I can... and there a lot of people in there [13:58] you think i want to be banned from the largest freenode channel where I can help out someone? [13:59] sudobash, i don't try to "think" what you want or do not want to do [13:59] i should have not said a thing and i would still be in there helping [13:59] i just look at what is acceptable behavior and what is not [14:00] better off not knowing my IP anyways the way people talk here about laws, rules and enforcement [14:00] should have been using a proxy the whole time [14:01] but you put a block on my nick now [14:01] sudobash, i invited you here in case you wanted to discuss, not to make a pointless monologue [14:01] what on earth is this [14:02] yeah could I please have the ban lifted so i can continue to be of some use to Ubuntu users? [14:02] sudobash, you certainly know that open proxies are not even allowed by freenode [14:02] sudobash: no, not at this stage, and ban evasion didn't help it at all either [14:02] hi LukeL, can we help you? [14:02] hi, just curious [14:03] i wasnt sure where to ask for it [14:03] LukeL: did you read the topic? [14:03] nope, now I have cyas [14:04] sudobash: well, i think you've been around long enough to know about this channel, but still, even if you didn't [14:04] [14:48] well... i got around your ban [14:04] [14:51] you need to take the second ban down off or i will just keep using proxy servers [14:04] [14:52] how bout an op taking off the second ban down on the list [14:04] [14:52] or you might as well ban this proxy too [14:04] this is not "asking", this is "threatening" [14:04] why doesnt freenode prevent proxy connects then? [14:05] sudobash: well, i'm not freenode staff, you may want to ask one of them, such as nalioth [14:05] man i have been around but I havent read all the rules [14:05] freenode != ubuntu, ubuntu != freenode [14:05] sudobash: it doesn't take reading the rules to know that the way you handled it is called threatening [14:05] well i didnt mean to come off like that [14:06] i should have found this channel [14:06] What about: 2008-03-04T16:41:48 wow and people talk about windows apps and shit... I help people as much as I can here but Im sick of the constant nazi regime act [14:06] and asked [14:06] Pici: well, that was why i banned in the first place, after i had asked him and others, *kindly*, to bring a couple of offtopic discussions to -offtopic. [14:06] eeyyyyygghhh [14:06] LjL: I'm not questioning you ;) [14:07] that's a nasty line there, sudobash [14:07] your right I probably shouldnt be allow back in there but I should take to freenode people about proxy detection [14:07] Pici: yet i'm explaining, always helps [14:07] allowed [14:08] sudobash, proxy detection is not an exact science. [14:08] that doesn't allow you to dodge bans just because you've been lucky enough to manage to evade the technical measures put against it. [14:08] yeah thats true... i was doing it in high school to get around their blocks and they had no clue [14:11] i didnt think about i just did it not thinking i was breaking a rule but i knew i shouldnt have joined ubuntu... I am just sick of some of the people in there acting like they are better than everyone else... I mean help some noobs out dont bash them and each other just because you are disagreeing about something stupid. [14:12] but anyway Im sure you are all like what a waste of time [14:12] sudobash, i wasn't disagreeing about anything, i was simply asking to bring "windows apps and shit" to #ubuntu-offtopic, where it belongs. that's my duty as an operator. [14:12] i understand that and i was disrespectful at the time so i apologize. [14:15] so like after a month would you consider taking the ban off? [14:16] sudobash: yes [14:18] cool I appreciate that [14:18] sudobash: meanwhile, do check out the guidelines if, as you said, you haven't before [14:19] !etiquette > sudobash (sudobash, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:19] roger [14:21] Myrtti: around? [14:21] yup [14:22] sudobash: and please try to keep in mind that there is no way that you'll *always* agree with what the ops do. people have differing opinions about how a channel should be run, but that never justifies being abusive. [14:22] Myrtti: What do you think of the current -ot conversation? [14:22] they're, uhm, talking about marriage? [14:22] I meant the marriage jokes about women.... [14:24] i don't think i've seen the two main partecipants in -ot before [14:24] yup [14:24] They don't bother me particularly (not very funny imo though), I just wanted to make sure that someone of the female persuasion was comfortable with them. [14:25] they're just so old and boring I don't even register them as anti-womenish [14:25] Ten four. [14:26] very true [14:26] so yall watch #ubuntu and talk about what they are talking about in there to decide among the @'s what is offtopic and what not? lol thats pretty cool.... [14:26] sure they would be a bit offensive, but still they're so old and boring that I wouldn't bother even to lift a finger... (nowait I've done so several times to type this message) [14:26] may I ask what the bots are coded with? [14:26] sudobash, not always [14:27] sudobash, ubotu is a customized supybot [14:27] borderline cases are discussed [14:27] Pici: -.-. ..-. -- [14:27] one second [14:28] two too [14:30] Amaranth: el-kbuntu among others requested it be removed. [14:31] Pici: what? [14:31] LjL: twss [14:31] ah [14:31] excellent [14:32] could i possibly do some free scripting or c++ to gain access to #ubuntu again? [14:33] sudobash, no, a ban is a ban and if we just removed bans on request they'd be no use, yet you can keep helping Ubuntu in many other ways: you can file and triage bug reports, you can answer the forums or support requests, for instance [14:33] !support [14:33] The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [14:33] and the ban will be removed in due time. [14:34] wow how long did i prolong it with the ban evasion? [14:34] sudobash: it didn't help. i can't give you a number, we don't have a table with ban lengths... [14:35] alright well I'll leave you all alone [15:17] umm i have a question... some how i managed to play an flv with VLC but for some reason the VLC gui wasnt visible anywhere not even in a terminal and the gnome monitor says that VLC was sleeping and using 0% of CPU... normally it uses over 10% even if minimized... is there a way to recreate this (it was an accident)... the video wasnt playing but the audo was... [15:18] like a way to force a process to sleep to minimize cpu usage [15:18] sudobash: This isn't a support channel. [15:20] i know i cant go there i figured you all might be interested in processes that behave strangely operating in sleeping mode and not using cpu but still operating somewhat normally [15:20] or maybe it was just a fluke [15:21] interesting though if you could get your cpu to do something without directly doing it i couldnt really explain it... [15:21] sorry [15:23] I removed the banforward, made it a regular ban. [15:28] *cough* compiz still renders the video in the background === Pricey is now known as PriceChild [15:39] I wonder why I got disconnected. [15:40] magnetron: Whats up magnetron? [15:40] hi, i think there's a new bot in #ubuntu-offtopic . TheEgg [15:40] a chatting bot. [15:41] magnetron: thanks [15:42] --- [TheEgg] (n=rbot@c83-250-186-60.bredband.comhem.se) : Ruby bot. (c) Tom Gilbert [15:43] at least he doesn't try to hide it?

At least, that's what http://adequacy.org/public/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html say.. [19:14] In ubotu, magnetron said: !lunix is a capricious beast, according to http://adequacy.org/public/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html [19:15] ubotu: tell magnetron about botabuse [19:15] ubotu: tell magnetron about b [19:18] !b [19:18] b is an IRC mode that you don't want on your hostname. === credible_ is now known as credible [20:44] hi [20:44] iÂ'm from the Peruvian LoCo Council [20:44] and i was wondering what's needed to have ubotu around [20:45] nxvl, why is the channel set up as private? :| [20:45] mm [20:45] let me ask [20:46] nxvl, are you sure it wouldn't be better to have botijo, the spanish-speaking bot? [20:46] oh, i didn't know that exist [20:47] nxvl, ask in #ubuntu-irc about it please [20:47] ok [20:47] thnx === credible_ is now known as credible [22:43] MilitantPotato called the ops in #kubuntu () [23:11] Okay, someone seriously needs to remind me in about 2 hours that I really need to fix my package and get some MOTUs to upload it before we get any closer to release...It's totally minor, but my memory stinks. :) [23:11] tonyyarusso: why not do it now? [23:12] Seeker`: Because the stuff I need to build it is on a computer in a different city. [23:12] ah [23:14] tonyyarusso, it's not like your shiny ubuntu system comes with a shiny calendar and reminders applet built in... [23:14] LjL: 'course not. It is however like I'm stuck on a Mac right at this moment. [23:15] tonyyarusso: ewww :P [23:15] tonyyarusso: i'll DDoS you in two hours then [23:16] * Seeker` considers installing hardy on his laptop [23:16] that should remind you [23:16] LjL: wfm
