jdongAmaranth: well right now 90% of the bootup is bound by readahead and udevtrigger (i.e. modprobe, initramfs)00:01
jdongAmaranth: the actual sequence starting from root remounted rw to GDM is like less than 5s with upstart :D00:02
Amaranthjdong: so with my non-slow HD this should be like 10 seconds or less from grub to gdm00:02
Amaranthseeing how i get over 40MB/s in hdparm00:02
jdongAmaranth: yeah, I bet you can get close to that00:02
jdongAmaranth: and I think by not having udevtrigger block until gdm, I can get things even faster :)00:03
Amaranthwell if you're topping out at 12MB/s and getting 15 seconds from grub to gdm i'm sure i can go a bit faster :)00:03
jdongAmaranth: i.e. I'll need to go grab upstart trunk with multiple conditional support for start00:03
Amaranthwith the kind of reads done at boot i should be able to get over 20MB/s00:04
jdongAmaranth: my ext3 root is pretty thrashed too in terms of abuse, upgrading, filling to capacity, etc00:04
jdongAmaranth: if I just re-populate it with the same files I bet I can lower the boot time even more :D00:04
Amaranthdon't we have a defragmenter for ext3 yet?00:04
jdongAmaranth: I can hear the disk thrashing heavily as soon as readahead is done till the end of bootup00:04
jdongAmaranth: I don't know if I trust e2defrag all that much. I'll gove it a shot some time00:05
naliothanyone familiar with FloodBotES in -es ?00:15
LjLnalioth: yes00:16
LjLnalioth: ask roasoax in -irc00:16
LjLroaksoax00:16
naliothit's fixing to be klined00:17
naliothit's phishing for users passwords00:17
LjLnalioth, i think not on purpose. anyway the guy speaks english fine00:18
Hobbseejpatrick: apparently the nick is unregged.  no idea.00:24
jdongAmaranth: http://jdong.mit.edu/~jdong/macbook/depchart/dep.png00:35
Amaranthjdong: surprisingly shallow00:35
jdongAmaranth: which is a good sign00:35
Amaranthyes, it means it can be run highly parallel :)00:35
jdongAmaranth: the parallelism from checkfs out is encouraging00:36
Amaranthcrackwifi?00:36
Amaranthit gets a bit screwy at the end there00:37
jdongAmaranth: it's my madwifi compile-at-startup thing00:37
Amaranthdbus->hal->usplash->gdm->acpi_support->laptop_mode->rc_local00:37
jdongAmaranth: named so because originally it hosted a very heavily patched madwifi for (cough) various purposes00:37
jdongAmaranth: well yeah I got lazy writing near the end :D00:38
Amaranthgotta be a bug in whatever you're using to generate this chart :P00:38
Amaranthah, human power00:38
jdongAmaranth: I didn't think through all the dependencies00:38
Amaranthalways a bug there00:38
ubotuJordan_U called the ops in #ubuntu ()00:38
jdongAmaranth: http://jdong.mit.edu/~jdong/macbook/depchart/depchart.py that generates the chart00:38
jdongAmaranth: call it with the location to event.d :)00:38
tonyyarusso@btlogin00:38
jdongand it outputs a dotfile00:38
Amaranthinteresting00:39
Amaranthlet me know when you're "done", i wanna try this :)00:39
Amaranthi can add nvidia stuff myself and i don't need usplash for a 10 second boot :P00:40
jdongAmaranth: :D well one other person has tested my event.d.tar.gz and says it worked out of the box00:42
jdongand he had nvidia stuff too (yikes)00:42
Amaranthyeah, i thought lrm-video handled nvidia honestly00:43
Amaranthand X will load the module if it exists, no need to do it on boot00:43
Amaranthjdong: so do you have an updated version or is the one you gave me earlier still right?00:45
jdongAmaranth: the one I gave earlier is stilll the same01:01
jdongAmaranth: for comic relief: http://jdong.mit.edu/~jdong/macbook/depchart/sysv-dep.png01:01
Amaranthuh, hahahaha01:01
jdongAmaranth: a bit apples to oranges though, this was not generated on the same machine :D01:01
jdongbut you get the picture01:01
Amaranthyeah01:02
* jdong goes to generate it on the right machine for kicks01:02
Amaranthalright, going to go try this01:02
* Amaranth gets scared01:03
jdonglol back up event.d first of course :D01:03
Amaranthbrb (i hope)01:03
jdonguh oh, he's not back yet01:09
Amaranthjdong: so usplash was doing it's pulse thing when initramfs is running then it switched to a tty then X started about a second later01:11
Amaranthi'm guessing that's good?01:11
Amaranthbut i got no output from bootchart01:11
jdongAmaranth: LOL01:12
jdongAmaranth: are you serious?!01:12
Amaranthyes01:12
jdongAmaranth: I don't believe you01:12
jdongAmaranth: you make me cry01:12
Amaranthalthough wallblock numbers say my boot took ~20 seconds to get to gdm01:12
jdongAmaranth: sweet01:12
Amaranthso i'm guessing i need to regenerate my readahead list01:12
Amaranthwallclock*01:12
jdongAmaranth: I'm not sure if the event.d I posted contains bootchart stop01:12
Amaranthoh :P01:12
jdongAmaranth: lol maybe I should generate an updated one :D01:12
Amaranthwhere should that go?01:13
jdongAmaranth: and I forgot S99rmnologin too so don't expect sshd to work by default :)01:13
Amaranthyeah, and i'm guessing i'll have to add my own entries for ipmasq and dhcp3-server :P01:13
jdongAmaranth: event.d, add a hook to call "/etc/init.d/stop-bootchart start"01:13
Amaranthmy laptop shares its connection with the desktop next to me01:13
jdongAmaranth: as an example, look at how, say, gdm's wrapper in event.d was written01:13
jdongAmaranth: I'd say "start on started rc.local" would be an appropriate boot order for it01:14
Amaranthso if usplash was started sooner would it do something useful?01:14
jdongAmaranth: I'm not sure how usplash progress updates work :)01:14
jdongAmaranth: but starting usplash actually stops it :)01:14
Amaranththe init scripts have commands they use for LSB-compliant output that usplash hooks into01:15
Amaranthshould stop-bootchart really be a service?01:15
jdongAmaranth: probably not :)01:16
jdongAmaranth: hmm my upstart jobs simply trigger init.d scripts one by one01:16
jdongAmaranth: so I'm probably bypassing whatever logic is used to update the progress bar?01:16
Amaranthno, it is stuff inside the initscripts that update that iirc01:16
jdongAmaranth: hmmm, then they should update :-/01:17
Amaranthwow calling stop-bootchart now was a bad idea01:17
Amaranthit's doing...something01:17
jdongAmaranth: did it generate a 500 second bootup? :D01:17
Amaranthit is still doing something01:17
jdongAmaranth: on the bright side it profiled your login sequence.01:18
jdongLOL01:18
Amaranthyay rsvg-convert 100% CPU01:18
Amaranthi hate you :P01:18
Amaranthi suppose the stuff to regenerate the readahead list won't work either01:18
jdongAmaranth: actually, same gotcha, I didn't put in the stop hook01:18
Amaranthbootlogd?01:18
jdongAmaranth: profile actually does work, and does hang boot in the right spot to prepare01:19
jdongAmaranth: but you need to sudo killall readahead-watch before logging in.01:19
jdongAmaranth: or while your'e at it, you can write a stop-readahead hook before stop-bootchart :)01:19
Amaranthand then it all works fine? :)01:19
jdongAmaranth: yup, I even used it today to regenerate readahead01:19
Amaranthstop-bootchart is still at it01:19
jdongAmaranth: lol I'm guessing bootchart was never designed to monitor so much :D01:20
jdongAmaranth: you can now even profile how long it took xchat to start!01:20
Amaranthyeah i'm guessing it takes awhile to convert a 10MB svg file to png01:20
jdong:)01:21
Amaranthit looks like it sat doing absolutely nothing for 10 seconds01:21
Amaranthusplash timeout or something?01:21
Amaranthso gdm didn't start until 25 seconds in01:22
jdongAmaranth: perhaps turn usplash off?01:23
Amaranthmaybe01:23
Amaranthwhat's the bit to add to regenerate readahead?01:23
jdongAmaranth: profile01:24
Amaranthalright, back in a bit01:24
Amaranthjdong: so it still stalls for 10 seconds but then again it might have done that before too01:35
Amaranthboot was so slow before i didn't pay attention when it was booting01:35
Amaranthbut even with that 10 second stall i've got 31 seconds to boot01:35
jdongAmaranth: not bad... I guess now the task is figuring out why it stals01:35
Amaranthmax disk throughput: 47MB/s01:36
jdongAmaranth: HOLY CRAP!01:36
Amaranthi know, this is a laptop01:36
jdongI'm not talking to you anymore.01:36
* jdong goes cry in his corner01:36
Amaranthi've seen SSDs get much worse scores for boots01:37
mneptoki gotta get me wunna them supersonic dingleberries01:38
Amaranthjdong: http://www.realistanew.com/random/hardy-20080317-3.png01:38
jdongAmaranth: whoa, you spend 10s in initramfs01:38
Amaranthoh, that's what that is?01:38
Amaranthi wonder why01:39
Amaranthhow long do you spend in initramfs?01:39
jdongAmaranth: http://jdong.mit.edu/~jdong/macbook/hardy-upstart-defragged.png01:39
jdongless than 5s01:39
Amaranthdamn01:39
Amaranthyou did defrag?01:39
jdongAmaranth: not really.01:39
jdongAmaranth: though defrag only affects that readahead-list band01:40
jdongAmaranth: your biggest problem is that band before root gets mounted01:40
Amaranthyeah, gotta figure that one out01:43
Amaranthi'd like a 21s boot01:43
Amaranthprobably lower if i defragged01:43
jdongAmaranth: should be entirely possible under your specs01:49
Amaranthyeah, i'll play again tomorrow01:49
Amaranthgotta go now01:49
jdongAmaranth: ok, one suggestion before you leave, modify all the udev stuff to start concurrently with readahead01:50
jdong(i.e. start on starting readahead)01:50
jdongit seems like parallelizing that in your case would result in a speedup01:50
ubotuHardyOne called the ops in #ubuntu+1 ()01:58
ronandiWhen I try to send msgs in #ubuntu, it says: "#ubuntu :Cannot send to channel". How long does this "ban" last, im pretty sure its been at least 14 hours since it was initiated? 02:44

LjLronandi, if you have no other questions for us, i should ask you to part this channel please03:06
* mneptok hugs regurg03:09
emmaHello?03:59
Hobbseehi there!03:59
emmaHi Hobbsee03:59
tonyyarussoHey emma04:00
emmaHi tony04:01
Hobbseeheads up on dashua04:01
* Hobbsee +q'd in +104:01
Hobbseeemma: the final set of conditions is at http://hobbsee.com/ubotu/emma_conditions04:07
emmaI've already spoken to PriceChild and others at various stages when the channel was made and I was told that it would not be a reason that I would be banned from #ubuntu channels.04:10
Hobbseeexcept for the fact that it became an ops slagging ground, a lot of the time.04:11
Hobbseeif it had *not* become that, then people would not be requiring you to change the name, i expect.04:11
emmaSome times this channel has been an emma slagging ground. I don't hold you all accountable for that.04:12
Hobbseeemma: as you'll note, that's also part of the conditions - that that stops.04:12
emmaThen I can agree to a condition that says I do not 'slag the ops' in that channel, and that I recommend others do not. That I discourage animosity to the ops in that channel is reasonable.04:13
Hobbseethe conditions are laid out.  take them or leave them.04:15
Hobbseethey've been extensively thought through.04:15
emmaIn all fairness the conditions are very harsh. Talking about k-lining me? When the reason I'm in here is because of a conversation where I mentioned a real corporation that really is doing the things I said they are doing, in a conversation with an op in -offtopic?04:15
Hobbseeyou would be klined for spam for unsolicited queries regardless of which channels you were in on the freenode network.  it's a condition of freenode's network.04:16
emmaalso talking about banning me from other ubuntu channels when I've never done anything wrong in #ubuntu?04:16
Hobbseewhether you agree to this or not, that condition would still stand anyway.04:17
emmathen take that all out of your 'conditions'04:17
emmathat kind of speech just feels like intimidation04:17
tonyyarussoThey would apply, and thus should be there.  It is a package deal.04:17
emmaespecially since I don't spam anyone and putting that in there feels like an accusation that I have or some kind of acknowledgment that I have.04:17
emma Emma will not mention logging, irseek, or anything of that nature in #*ubuntu* channels again04:19
emmaThat's also not a fair condition04:19
emmato put that so black and white. There are probably many times in some channels where that is appropriate.04:19
emmaI would like this to be posted in here.04:20
emmaWhat you are asking from me04:20
Hobbseeso that it's logged?04:20
emmaThis is what they are telling me:04:21
emmaConditions list, as agreed upon by the IRC Council and Hobbsee:04:21
emma * Ban lifted in -offtopic and -ops04:21
emma * Emma apologizes to the irc ops team04:21
emma * Emma complies with the rules04:21
emma * Ops would not make public comments  which slander, or are derogatory about emma, in public channels.04:21
emma * Emma will not make public comments which slander, or are derogatory about the ops, in public channels. 04:21
emma * Emma will not mention logging, irseek, or anything of that nature in #*ubuntu* channels again04:21
emma * Emma will not advertise the existence of her channels, (including ##ubuntu-uncensored, whatever it's renamed to, and ##linux+) in #*ubuntu* channels.04:21
tonyyarusso!pastebin04:21
ubotupastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)04:21
emma * ##ubuntu-uncensored changes name to be something that does not contain the word 'ubuntu' in it.  The irc ops would like to note that while this is not against freenode policy (due to the ##), the irc ops feel that the channel has been harmful to the ubuntu community, and therefore request the name change, as a condition to participating freely in the official ubuntu channels.04:21
emma *  ##ubuntu-uncensored may forward to a new channel for two weeks to allow users to adjust, and then will be locked by nalioth, a freenode staffer.04:21
Hobbseetonyyarusso: that'll change too04:21
emma * Emma will not attempt to find loopholes in these conditions, and exploit them.04:21
emma * Emma will not send unsolicited private messages to members of #*ubuntu* channels.  (this is covered in freenode policy, and is a klineable offense.  If such reports reach the irc ops team, the irc ops team are obliged to report them to freenode staff.04:21
emma * irc ops team will respect Emma's right to have her own channel when it does not suggest Ubuntu affiliation. 04:21
emmaIf Emma breaks these rules, she will be banned from all #*ubuntu* based channels (or klined, in the case of spam, in accordance with Freenode policy)04:21
emmaI'm sorry I didn't know there was one for here.04:21
tonyyarussonvm, Hobbsee has a point anyway.  Carry on.04:21
Hobbseetonyyarusso: it's a valid request, yes, as this log won't be tampered with, whereas an external source can.04:22
tonyyarussoright04:22
Hobbsee(so ignore the flood part)04:22
emmaAnd I want some of these other ops to see this. I want to speak to PriceChild04:22
Hobbseehe's in norway.  but he is connected.04:23
Hobbseeif you like, you can wait till he comes back, or sees irc, have him input, and then agree after that.04:23
Hobbseeof course, that will mean that the current quiet in -offtopic stands, and won't be changed.04:23
emmaI think that some of you would like the name of my channel changed. 04:23
emmaI understand that.04:23
emmaI am in a business in my professional life where negotiating is part of my job.04:24
emmaYou are putting down a list of conditions that in some ways are non-starters and showing no indication of any flexibility on any of it?04:24
emmaI want to be able to give you what you want. And things like the channel name changing are possibilities that should not be removed from the table.04:25
emmaBut when you push so hard that you leave no room at all then that is counter productive for both of us.04:25
Hobbseeyou gave me a list of what you would find acceptable.  they were based off that.04:25
Hobbseeit's actually *more* fair than it was originally.04:26
emmaA revised list of conditions would be a really good idea and a very good sign of good faith, and then after we re-established a good report then we could very well talk about the other things that you want. 04:26
Hobbseeto some degree, you have lost the room to negotiate, due to past actions.04:26
tonyyarussoThis is the revised list.  As stated, they are take it or leave it.04:26
emmaI am a partner that can be worked with. But you must know by now that I respond to the perception of being forced with extra-resolve.04:27
emmaBut what about what you want?04:27
Hobbseeyou're not being forced.  you have a choice to take it as given, or to leave it.04:27
Hobbseewe're not forcing you to take it.04:27
Hobbseenor are we particularly saying that you should.04:27
emmaSome of those things in there are not fair or reasonable. And elkbuntu is already on this log saying she is in favor of me having voice back.04:28
emmaHobbsee you are on this log saying that you think my appeal is good.04:28
Hobbseejust that these are the conditions, if you do decide that you do want to be able to talk in -offtopic04:28
Hobbseeemma: elkbuntu and i both had a lot of input into those conditions.04:28
emmaShe said in here that she is okay with me having voice.04:28
tonyyarussoIF you agree to these.04:28
emmaShe did not say that to me.04:29
emmaThat is not what she said on this log.04:29
emmaYou said that your conditions are based on what I said to you in pm HObbsee04:29
tonyyarussoThen feel free to wait for her to get home from work and clarify for you.04:29
emmaI am willing to agree to what I said to you in PM04:29
Hobbseei took what you said to the ops, and they decided that it was not enough.04:29
emmaThe other stuff was brought up as an afterthought by tonyyarusso after you asked me to come in here.04:29
Hobbseeas it is, i suggest you wait a while, think on it, wait for elkbuntu, (and wait for PriceChild if you wish), before giving your opinion.04:30
emmaI am not going to change the name of the channel as long as I feel I am being strong armed. 04:31
Hobbseethen you will nto be able to speak in #ubuntu-offtopic.04:31
Hobbseei'ts your choice.04:32
emmaCan I reasonably expect that as long as I abide by the rules as they apply to everyone else, there will be no further punitive measures taken against me, such as banning me from #ubuntu-women, or #ubuntu ?04:35
Hobbseethat would be fair, yes.04:36
mneptokwait ...04:38
mneptokthere is some behavior we would tolerate from others, but not you.04:38
mneptoke.g. discussion of IRSeek04:38
mneptoke.g. long conversations about policy changes in public channels04:39
mneptoksadly, your past behavior has led to having to place limits on your future behavior.04:39
Hobbseemneptok: in #ubuntu and such, that would class as -offtopic04:40
mneptokso, "the rules as they apply to everyone else" is not accurate04:40
Hobbseemneptok: #u-w would probably aslo use !o4o as well, i expect.04:40
Hobbseemneptok: which includes propaganda04:40
mneptokHobbsee: as you know, i know nothing of #u-w04:40
Hobbseemneptok: i'm fiarly sure they do.04:41
Hobbseemneptok: afaik, they don't do politics, etc.04:41
Hobbseemneptok: anything support based, she'll get hit with !offtopic.  anything offtopic follows !o4o, afaik.04:42
Hobbseemneptok: so i'd say that it's still valid.04:42
mneptokemma: ennyhoo, you know what i'm getting at. you have beat the drum on some issues so loudly that your particular drum is not welcome in public channels any more. those guidelines reflect that. and that does mean that your treatment is different from other users' treatment.04:44
* mneptok taps the mic04:46
mneptokis this thing on?04:46
Hobbseeapparently not04:47
emmaFor the time being, I would simply like some reasonable assurance (if it is possible) that assuming I do not do something uncalled for (which I have shown no tendency to do) that I will not be subject to any thing vindictive in other #ubuntu- channels.04:47
* Hobbsee already agreed to that.04:48
mneptokemma: repeatedly bringing up IRSeek after *many* requests to stop is uncalled for.04:48
mneptokemma: you have snidely commented on my behavior being some sort of prototypical bad behavior. to paraphrase, "this guy is why no one likes ops." you have done the same to other people. that's always uncalled for.04:50
emmaHobbsee -- I appreciate that very much. That means a great deal.04:50
mneptok*sigh*04:51
Hobbseemneptok: irseek == offtopic.  it's also propaganda.04:51
emmamneptok - I would like to say that you are correct that my particular comment directed at you was not productive.04:51
Hobbsee(when talking extensively about it)04:51
Hobbseeheading off propaganda is alos allowed, when it starts.04:51
emmaI think that I can agree to the spirit of "Stop beating the drum about IRSeek in #ubuntu-* channels. 04:52
mneptokemma: i'm not asking for an apology, but just that you think about seeing from my chair your claim no tendency to uncalled-for behavior.04:52
mneptoks/claim/claim\ of/04:52
emmaI can even agree to something like, "When talking about logging, or other things, and asked by an op to stop, please do so"04:52
emmamneptok - I think that seeing things from others perspectives is very healthy and I agree with you about that.04:53
mneptokemma: just remove "about logging, or other things," and you got the idea04:53
emmaI think we could remove those words and that would be a much more reasonable list of conditions.04:54
mneptokemma: just drop topics whenever an op asks, and bring it here04:54
mneptokemma: things get less bumpy when you comply publicly, and kvetch in here.04:54

jpatrickjdong: @load Karma15:10
Mezjdong, the thing is, that that seems that swinging on a swing, your facing forward,a nd expect to be going forward... but that description makes you go side to side.15:12
PiciA side-to-side swing, how revolutionary.15:13
Meznot as fun...15:13
jdongMez: I'm surprised there wasn't a proof that the swing would not end up in an unstable perpendicular oscillation15:13

naliothjpatrick: we can't rename channels  :(15:14
jdongsee? Math is illegal.15:14
Mezjdong, I dont know - I dont care15:14
LjLjpatrick, err, channel names are case insensitive...?15:14
jpatricknalioth: aww, now the bot will never know the diff between @ops-#kubuntu-es and @ops-#Kubuntu-es15:14
MezLjL, technically, yes.15:15
jpatrickLjL: for some reason it affects botijo15:15
PiciLjL: yes, but the ircd preserves your choice of capitalization when it announces a user join message.15:15
LjLjpatrick, uhm, i don't see why15:15
Mezhowever - if the first user to join the channel joins #cHaNnEl - then it gets preserved with that case by the ircd15:15
LjLPici: yes that's true, and chanserv also has it with a "K", but that should be it afaik15:15
jpatrickLjL: ubotu makes all facts lowercase15:15
LjLMez, but preserved where? as pici said, commands from people are shown with the capitalization *they* used15:16
jpatrick!CHEESEITS15:16
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about cheeseits - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi15:16
jpatrickLjL: see^15:16
MezLjL, preserved on join messages, etc etc15:16
LjLjpatrick: yes but i still can't see the problem with that15:16
jpatrickLjL: cos it's in #Kubuntu-es and the fact for it is #kubuntu-es15:16
MezLjL, 15:17
Mez>lethargy< join #cHaNnEl15:17
Mez* [Lethargy] (lethargy@vBFans-F364B0B8.vbirc.com): lethargy15:17

LjLMez, no: :LjL!n=ljl@ubuntu/member/ljl JOIN :##LJL15:17
LjLjust because i typed it as ##LJL15:17
LjLotherwise it would have been ##ljl15:17
Mez/join #channel15:17
Mez* Now talking on #cHaNnEl15:17
LjLMez: yes indeed, so it depends on the user's choice15:18
LjLjpatrick: then tell it to join #kubuntu-es and not #Kubuntu-es15:18
jpatrickLjL: and TiMiDo registered it as #Kubuntu-es15:18
jpatrickLjL: I have, many imtes15:18
jpatricktimes*15:18
Mezbut when the channel is CREATED then capitalisation is udes.15:18
MezThe way to change the capitalisation of a channel is to get everyone to leave, drop the channel with chanserv15:18
Mezrejoin it with the new capitalisation, and re-register it15:18
jpatrickMez: not contact, can't15:19
LjLMez: yes but i'm saying, i don't see how the bot would be affected. when i join a channel, *everything* (topic, /names, etc) is shown with the capitalization *i* decided to use on join15:19
MezBut that's how IRC works. It uses the capitalisation as created by the channel creator15:19
jpatrickLjL: /cs info #kubuntu-es15:19
MezLjL, /join #channel and tell me what the channel message is15:19
LjLjpatrick: yes, it's K in chanserv, i know, but why would the bot look at chanserv?15:20
jpatrickLjL: no clue15:20
MezLjL, when the bot joins the channel, it recieves it as #Kubuntu-*15:20
naliothjpatrick: yours would be the first case-sensitive bot i've heard of15:20
LjLMez: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60039/15:20
Mezwhatever the channel created was15:20
jpatrickLjL: /msg botijo %config networks.freenode.channels15:21
MezLjL, now try #channel15:21
LjLok, the /names is lowercase, i missed that15:21
LjLJOIN #channel15:21

LjL:kubrick.freenode.net 366 ljl8 #channel :End of /NAMES list.15:21
MezLJL, the reason that pastebin shows is that you are the only person in there15:21
LjLMez: no, there is ubotwo and a clone of mine in there15:21
Mezso when you leave, it's being destroyed and recreated15:21
LjL(and chanserv)15:21
LjLjpatrick: it's got it with "k"15:22
jpatrickLjL: and it still sees it with "K"15:22
MezLjL, it depends on whether the commands are a direct response to what you sent or whether it's from the IRC servers stuff15:22
Mezbut the server keeps it with a "K"15:23
LjLjpatrick, if we rename the channel, that will involve making everyone part15:24
MezLjL, trust me - I did a study of a lot of this stuff a while back :D15:24
jpatrickLjL: ...or /kick15:24
LjLjpatrick: whatever, anyway it'll be somewhat invasive15:24
Mezjpatrick, with the help of a staffer... they can do a chanwipe15:25
Mez(or should be able to)15:25
jpatrickLjL: yeah..15:25
LjLMez: not the problem...15:25
naliothjpatrick: why would you want to trouble users for a bot you should be able to configure ?15:25
jpatricknalioth: I don't want it, they do for @ops :)15:25
LjLnalioth, well it's just seveas' bot, i think the problem would be there for ubotu too15:25
LjLactually let's just try15:26
naliothif it's a supybot, i have no idea why it won't work15:26
ubotuLjL called the ops in #Kubuntu-es ()15:26
* jpatrick neither15:26
naliothmine joins channels from a list in the config15:26
LjLyes, the problem is there with ubotu too15:26
* nalioth senses much ado over nothing15:26
LjL(i have created !ops-#kubuntu-es meanwhile)15:26
Meznalioth, cause the encyclopedia plugin doesnt allow case sensitive channel names15:27
Mezbut when matching, doesnt do a strtolower (or python equiv) to match15:27
naliothalrighty then15:27
LjLanyway it's a bug in the code15:28
LjLlet me see if we can just fix it15:28
Mezso when the server sends PRIVMSG :#Kubuntu-es bla bla15:28
Mezsupybot tries to match in the database x-Kubuntu-es15:28
Mezwhich doesnt exist as it makes it lowercase when putting it into the DB15:28
Mez:D15:28
LjLjpatrick: should be fixed15:34
LjLjpatrick: in "def get_factoids", change lines 4 and 5 into15:36

LjLemma, by the way, are you here because you have some question currently for us?22:05
emmaHi. I think last night I was asked to come in here. Or rather very early in the morning for me.22:06
LjLemma: must have been the australians then, you should probably check back in a couple of hours if you're still awake22:07
emmaIt's going to be hard for me, i've been up so very late so many nights because of things like this.22:07

emmaI see. 22:08
jpatrickNorway!22:08
PiciYes, there.22:08
emmaAlso, I'm not sure if this matters but I was pming Ireclan because I'm part Irish and it was recently Saint Patricks day.22:08
LjLemma, sorry if i'm going to sound like a broken record, but while the incident above just reads like an innocent question ("can i PM you?" - although, good counterpoint: you have already)...22:08
LjLare you PM'ing people randomly? because we can't be keeping getting these reports just because all the people you happen to message are paranoids or something22:09
emmaAbsolutely not.22:09
LjLemma: well, it must be perceived as somewhat random by some, or they wouldn't contact us about it, don't you think?22:10
emmaIm not sure what to tell you about perceptions versus reality and all the possible permutations of that.22:11
emmaI've never pmed anyone randomly. 22:11
emmaI can understand maybe, if you are a certain kind of person, maybe more introverted (nothing wrong with that of course) you might feel like a social pm from someone who isn't a close friend is random. Not sure though. But I am sure that I have never pmed anyone who did not indicate that they were interesting in talking to me. I would never do that. 22:12
LjLemma, ireclan seemed to be saying he had no idea who you might be.22:14
emmaYeah we are not friends, but i thought his nick was cool since it sounds Irish. And I've been thinking about my Irish roots (given Saint Pats and all)22:14
ubotuIn #ubuntu, grunt said: ubotu, what is your purpose?22:15
LjLemma: ah, that's your idea of "not PM'ing anyone who did not *indicate* that they were interested in talking to you"?22:15
mneptokemma: i think PMing someone because their nick sounds Irish qualifies as "randomly"22:15
LjLemma, it's not a vision many would share, i feel.22:15
emmaFair enough. I've gotten pms from ubuntu ops that I didn't ask for. I am not upset by that. It's important for you to understand that I simply do not carry on a conversation with anyone, or bother anyone unless they express an interest in speaking to me.22:16
emmaI think you guys are worried about spam yes?22:17
LjLemma, "spam" might sound like too narrow a term.22:17
emmaWell with all due respect (and it is respect) there is becoming a pattern here of setting a standard or a meaning of terms, and then changing them repeatedly whenever it is convenient to make life difficult for me.22:18
emmaLet me give you an example:22:19
Seveasunsollicited pm22:19
LjLemma, let me put it quite plainly then22:19
Seveascould be considered spam22:19
Piciemma, You were here when ireclan came in here, what did you think of his report that your message was suspicious?22:19
LjLemma: we don't want people pointing to channels that aren't our channels, unless they're support channels or channels where a conversation should rather be held instead of the one it's being held in.22:19
emmaPici - He didn't seem to say anything. It looked like he was *asked* to come here and asked to paste what I said, and then when he did that, everyone saw it was nothing.22:20
LjL(then, i can certainly say that if the pointed-to channel has "ubuntu" in its name while being unofficial and there being some friction between it and us, that doesn't make us more tolerant about it)22:20
emmaLjL - I see. - That's something that I can accomodate for you, I always cooperate with people who cooperate with me. I always work with and respect people who have good will and good faith toward me.22:20
LjLemma, you saw perfectly well what he said in #ubuntu-offtopic, so you know very well that he *was* asked.22:20
LjLhe was asked, though, because he brought it up to begin with22:21
emmaLjL -- I have not been monitoring all the channels. I just got home from work not long ago.22:21
Seveashow convenient22:21
LjLemma, well, you were highlighted by that.22:21
emmaLjL - I see. Yes I see it now. 22:21
emmaWhat is the problem. I am sorry he was alarmed and that you were alarmed. I don't think it is a crime what I did, or spam. I speak to many people like this, including some of you, regularly.  22:22
Seveasemma, how far away from work do you live?22:22
LjLemma: you see, if someone PMs me who i've never heard of before (even with something innocent like "can i pm you?"), i tend to get uncomfortable. usually, i assume they've PM'd me because they saw i'm an op, but if i were a regular user, i think i'd feel quite "what the heck".22:23
LjLemma: so, you may call people like me introverted, but the fact remains that we haven't had several "introverted" users complaining about a specific PM'er in the past. we do with you.22:23
LjLemma: i'm happy you're going to accomodate this view, and as i said earlier, you can probably find Hobbsee or elkbuntu (i guess it's one of those two you were looking for) in a couple of hours at worst, see you later22:24
emmaYeah, I can understand how you might react and many people would react differently. But the really important thing is that if I did pm you, and you expressed zero interest or did not even respond, then I would just not be talking to you in pm. So no harm. 22:24
emmaWhat view were you referring to LjL ?22:25
Seveasemma, that's equivalent to opt-out spam22:25
Seveasemma, please answer my question22:25
LjLemma: well, "we don't want people pointing to channels that aren't our channels, unless they're support channels or channels where a conversation should rather be held instead of the one it's being held in." -- i thought that was what you replied to with "That's something that I can accomodate for you"22:26
emmaLjL -- It is something that can be done, but there was another part to what I said. 22:27
emmaI would even say that it's something I'm very willing to do.22:28
LjLemma: right. well, i'm afraid you'll have to be the one to show good will and good faith first, at this point22:28
LjLas in, you stop *first*, said plainly :)22:28
emmaLjL - I think that's alright as well.22:28
LjLnice to hear22:29
emmaLjL - I can do that also, but as you know as a mature adult these things don't work as in, one side gives all first. I will certainly be willing to give some first though.22:29
emmaDo you understand what I mean? This is some times a difficult medium with no non-verbal cues and I am afraid some times if my text does not read correctly?22:29
Seveasemma, you broke it, you fix it. You stop annoying users and we may beleive you're actually willing to conform to the guidelines22:29
LjLemma, i have to agree with seveas. we aren't a bargaining agent22:30
Seveas@now oslo22:31
ubotuCurrent time in Europe/Oslo: March 18 2008, 23:31:10 - Next meeting: Server Team in 22 hours 28 minutes22:31
PiciAnything else? If not, see /topic 22:32
Pici!idle22:34
ubotuPlease keep in mind that this channel is for operator/abuse questions only, and we ask you to part when you have no further business here, in order to keep track of users with pending inquiries.22:34
Piciemma: please see above ...22:35
emmaYes. I am talking to an op in pm. A few moments please?22:36
LjLemma, PMs do not get blocked when you leave a channel, do they :)22:40
emmaLjL - A valid point would you like me to leave then for now?22:41
Seveascould that possibly have been more clear?22:41
LjLyes please22:41
ubotuIn #ubuntu-np, r11t said: !test is something23:08
elky_workthis will be a flood due to the fact that it's pre-composed and I'm not really supposed to be here since I'm at work23:34
elky_workemma, I just saw the logs of the most recent conversation and i must say i'm appalled. You try to say you dont PM randomly, but that's precisely what you did. You PM'd someone out of the blue, with no invitation, *THAT IS RANDOM*. PMing someone to ask for permission to PM is an uninvited and random PM.23:34
elky_workemma, You expect us to bend over for you and show faith -- yet you have not changed your random PM behaviour in anyway. What faith does this give us? In a word.. NONE. You twist our words around. What faith does this give us? NONE.23:34
elky_workYou keep saying that I had already agreed to letting you have voice back in -offtopic and that it was recorded in logs. I did, see the following:23:34
elky_work[08:22] <elkbuntu> emma, i have no problem with you having voice back in -offtopic *only* on the proviso that you agree to play by our rules in our playground [08:23] <emma> *nods*23:34
elky_workYou agreed to what I said. Well guess what, those conditions that Hobbsee put to you - they are our rules. _You_ agreed that you would play by our rules. It is in the logs.23:34
elky_workWe are not picking on you. We are trying to do you a favour by spelling out the rules laid out in the Code of Conduct -- under 'Be Respectful' etc. We are spending the time to be explicit for you since you seem to need this. We know you're a good person, this is why we are putting this much effort into you -- we would not do it otherwise.23:34
elky_workI now must go and try get some work done. I got little done yesterday because I wasted hours of yesterday helping draw up those guidelines. Please do not PM me at this nick. *This is an explicit retraction of any implied invitation*.23:34
