r2d2rogersGood evening.02:47
LjLhello there02:47
r2d2rogersI got your memo02:48
r2d2rogers<G>02:48
LjLgood, thanks for coming :)02:48
r2d2rogersreading the suggested links02:48
r2d2rogerswelcome02:48
r2d2rogersright now I'm the Alt Op for our channel02:49
r2d2rogerstrying to share the load a bit02:49
LjLno hurry, your channel seems to be set up pretty well. we were mostly eager to let contacts know about this channel and the irc team02:49
r2d2rogersgreat02:49
r2d2rogersI am the second contact for the team, the founding contact person dropped out a couple of weeks ago02:50
r2d2rogersI'll drop back in if I have any questions, at least i'll have the scrollback in here now to read up on02:51
LjLr2d2rogers: the only little thing about your channel is that no contact is listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - though that's hardly a big deal, and if you prefer to have no contact listed, i see no issue with that02:54
r2d2rogersthanks for pointing that out02:55
r2d2rogersI'll check with our admin to see which he prefers, he or me ;)02:55
no0ticLjL, need to change #ubuntu-hardened contact on that page, it's now keescook02:56

r2d2rogershow many on the ubuntu irc team use irssi?03:00
no0tic1 here03:00
tritium+103:00
r2d2rogersi'm a fan of ssh and screen so it was an easy pick for me03:00
naliothr2d2rogers: you'd be better off asking how many "do not"03:01
r2d2rogersgotcha03:01
r2d2rogersI'm been playing with libnotify for irssi03:01
r2d2rogersi've...03:01
LjLkonversation here03:01
no0ticr2d2rogers, libnotify for irssi to do what?03:02
r2d2rogerswhen a hilight is triggered I get a pop up on my screen03:02
r2d2rogersit's similar to fnotify.03:02
r2d2rogersbut doesn't require 2 ssh sessions03:02
LjLno0tic: these irssi users go to such great lengths to make their text-mode client behave like a GUI one.03:03
LjLi don't understand them.03:03
r2d2rogersI just like to be plugged in when I'm attached03:03
r2d2rogersand I like to be responsive to new people in our channel03:04
no0ticLjL, me too03:04
no0ticLjL, I recreated a nice gui here :)03:04
RoAkSoAxxD03:07
r2d2rogersLjL: Robdgreat is our main IRC admin, I asked him to join, and I'll be sharing the links with him03:08
RoAkSoAxwhich one is better, irssi or bitchx, and why?03:09
LjLhi Robdgreat03:11
RobdgreatHello there03:11
LjLRoAkSoAx, to begin with, some of BitchX's quit messages would get you banned from #ubuntu :)03:11
RoAkSoAxLjL: yeah i saw it :S xD03:12
RoAkSoAxbbut.. which one is the best?03:12
naliothbx is so dated03:13
LjL!best03:13
ubotwoUsually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.03:13
LjLnalioth: you miss it huh03:13
RoAkSoAxhaha03:13
naliothLjL: i used it for about 3 minutes way back in 9703:13
naliothno, i don't miss it03:13
RoAkSoAxis there any psyBNC policy or something?03:14
LjLa policy against it? no, idle as much as you like03:15
LjLjust don't03:15
LjL!away03:15
ubotwoYou should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users.  (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.)  The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.  See also «/msg ubotu Guidelines»03:15
RoAkSoAxyep, i know no away messages03:15
RoAkSoAxLjL and what about bots?03:16
LjLnot in #ubuntu* channels unless authorized by the channel contacts03:17
naliothnot in #*buntu* channels03:18
RoAkSoAxbut for example is there any global policy, for example, im part of the team of #ubuntu-es, soy i was hthinking it would be good to have a bot to control the channel03:19
r2d2rogersWe have a bot in -us-la that we are playing with mostly.03:19
LjLRoAkSoAx, but -es *has* a bot, it's botijo03:21
LjL@bot03:21
LjLbotijo: bot03:21
LjLwell perhaps it's sleeping03:21
LjLor bots are on strike these days03:22
RoAkSoAxLjL yeah i know, but it is for information, i mean for channel control03:22
RoAkSoAxagains flood and those things03:22
RoAkSoAxis there any special policy03:22
RoAkSoAxor something03:22
LjLRoAkSoAx: we have such a bot, we've been discussing about introducing it in -es03:22
RoAkSoAxLjL: yeah, i was talking to P3L1C4N0 about having that kind of bot too03:23
LjLRoAkSoAx: see floodbot* in #ubuntu03:23
LjLRoAkSoAx: i've mentioned that to pelicano too, he seemed supportive03:23
LjLwe should talk about it again03:23
=== LjL changed the topic of #ubuntu-irc to: International Ubuntu IRC operators channel | The IRC Team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam | Support in #ubuntu etc. | The channel is multilingual, but English is preferred | Regardless of language, please write clearly (think "Babelfish") | #ubuntu-meta to report difficult support questions | Ubotu is DOWN, please ask here if you need a backup bot
RoAkSoAxyeah we should i believe it is a good thing to consider03:24
LjLRoAkSoAx: yes. honestly, there's just too much Enter-pressing in -es.03:25
no0ticRoAkSoAx, it's a great idea, we have one in #ubuntu-it and does a great job03:25
r2d2rogersLjL: would you know the status of lobobot_4 ?03:25
LjLr2d2rogers: no, no idea, those aren't managed by us03:25
r2d2rogerscool03:25
r2d2rogersjust thought i'd check <G>03:25
RoAkSoAxno0tic: that should be done then.. we will have to talk to P3L1C4N003:26
* r2d2rogers resolves to try and do better about his enter pressing.03:26
LjLRoAkSoAx: remind me about it tomorrow, we can have a little opinion shuffling in -es-ops03:28
* LjL goes to bed03:28
RoAkSoAxno0tic: he told me that if i wanted to i could try configuring one and see what happens, that's why i as asking if there was some kind of policy03:28
RoAkSoAxLjL: ok i will03:28
LjLRoAkSoAx: well, policy... the bot needs +o to begin with03:28
RoAkSoAxLjL: yeah but, i ment like.. what should be configured, against what, with kind of bot is bet, like mootbot, eggdrop, etc.. and those kind of things03:29
dholbachhey guys07:12
dholbachLjL let me know that I should fix the usage of #ubuntu-bugs and #ubuntu-desktop - I just updated https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat to let everybody know that those channels are not my main reponsibilities any more07:13
dholbachsent him a memo too :)07:14

juliux_LjL, you forgot to send me a memo for #xubuntu-de ;)17:40
LjLjuliux_ :P sorry i was intending to send a single memo, but in your case i messed up17:41
LjLand i didn't mention #xubuntu-de because it's not listed on the IRC page i guess :)17:42
juliux_LjL, for the german ubuntu channels we have an extra irc team with an extra irc op channel #ubuntu-de-op ;)17:42
juliux_LjL, can youn change something on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat ?17:43
RoAkSoAxwhois no0tic17:43
RoAkSoAxlol17:43
LjLjuliux_, i know and that's a good thing (by the way, could you made #ubuntu-de-ops a redirect to #ubuntu-de-op if you use that channel for complains and stuff? so the channel naming is a bit more uniform)17:43
juliux_sorry found the edit button17:43
no0ticRoAkSoAx, no0tic is me17:43
LjLjuliux_: i can certainly change it for you if you like17:44
RoAkSoAxno0tic: -es-ops ;)17:44
juliux_LjL, i found no edit button for that page17:44
juliux_LjL, #ubuntu-de-treffpunkt is dead we have no #ubuntu-de-offtopic17:44
LjLjuliux_, do you? last time it wasn't too clear to me17:45
juliux_yes its dead17:45
LjLok17:45
juliux_we forward everybody to #ubuntu-de-offtopic17:45
LjLjuliux_, why is -de-offtopic private? not being a main channel, i guess it's not a huge issue, but why have "secret societies" :P17:46
juliux_#ubuntu-de-ops register with forward to #ubuntu-de-op ;)17:46
juliux_LjL, do you no neoxan and #chaostreffpunkt?17:46
juliux_s/now/no17:46
juliux_know17:46
LjLjuliux_: i know about the former, i remember that channel name but don't really know anything about it17:47
juliux_ok17:47
juliux_that is the reason;)17:47
juliux_that is why #ubuntu-de-offtopic is +m17:47
LjLjuliux_: yep i know about the +m and voicing system, just /cs info and the AL being private i didn't notice before17:48
juliux_ok17:48
LjLjuliux_: so, i add #xubuntu-de and #ubuntu-de-offtopic, remove #ubuntu-de-treffpunk and... as a contact, i leave smurf, put both of you, or what?17:48
juliux_smurf is only for #ubuntu-de17:49
juliux_can you link to https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-de-irc-op17:49
LjLjuliux_: he's the one currently mentioned for -de, -de-treffpunkt and #edubuntu-de17:49
LjLi guess i can yes17:50
juliux_for #edubuntu-de smurf was never a contact17:50
juliux_same for #xubuntu-de17:50
juliux_so add me and smurf and the launchpad group17:50
LjLjuliux_: the kubuntu channels are completely separate, is that correct?17:52
juliux_yes17:52

LjLPriceChild: well replacing a PSU is four (un)screwings and four (un)pluggins18:39
LjLand the new & improved server now even takes shorter than 10 minutes to boot :)18:39
PriceChildLjL: but it didn't break on the way18:40

mick_homehi everyone21:48
naliothhi mick_home21:48
mick_homei just checked /msg ChanServ info #ubuntu-sparc  <-- looks abandoned21:49
mick_homei'd like to take over if possible (or have someone else do it)21:49
naliothwhat do you plan on doing there?  :D21:50
mick_homedon't really care, but sparc is O.T. for #ubuntu21:50
naliothis it?21:50
mick_homewell, i'd like to have a place on irc for sparc related talk about ubuntu21:50
naliothi thought canonical officially supported sparc21:50
mick_homesomething like changing the /topic would be a start21:50
mick_homenalioth: they do - correct21:50
nalioththen it's on topic for #ubuntu21:51
mick_homebut talking about the sparc stuff in #ubuntu was deemed OT21:51
mick_homeok, fine then21:51
mick_homewfm then21:51
=== _RoAkSoAx is now known as RoAkSoAx
mick_homePriceChild: not exactly a huge crowd :-P21:52
mick_homebut, fine - i'll /leave #ubuntu-sparc -- but last time i brought it up in #ubuntu (a sparc questtttion) -- i was actually told to use #ubuntu-sparc21:53
naliothhave you spoken with the channel registrant?21:53
mick_homeubotu*Sorry, I don't know anything about seen jbailey - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi21:55
mick_homei tried to do a "seen jbailey"21:55
ompaulmick_home, they could be on holidays - they were last seen on the network a couple of weeks ago21:57
mick_homeok21:57
PiciAnd ubotu has no !seen feature anyway ;)21:58
mick_homeah ok21:58
PiciTracking the coming and goings of all the people in #ubuntu would not end well :p21:59
mick_homea bot could handle that just fine - but whatever :-P21:59
mick_homeprobably not worth talking about21:59
mick_home;)21:59
ompaulmick_home, the bot could but the disk space and processor and questions that would be asked of it would be a heavy load for any server :)22:02
ompaulbad enough as it is22:02
mick_homewell, understood :)22:03
