PriceChildLjL: sorry, thought it was you that triggered the bots00:00
LjLPriceChild, i had no intention to -r, i'd like to make sure they aren't going to try that again first00:00
PriceChildLjL: I was told they were all klined which I assume means they won't be reappearing.00:01
PriceChildstdin: ping00:01
stdinPriceChild: pong00:01
LjLPriceChild: not necessarily, they can pretty much come in different swarms00:01
PriceChildLjL: yup00:01
PriceChildstdin: please check here before clearing -unregged. If you do clear -unregged, *make sure #ubuntu is -r*00:02
PriceChildstdin: else -unregged being +i means they can't rejoin, or join #ubuntu, and so get lost in the ether00:02
stdinPriceChild: my client reported -rR, but it I checked with /mode and it wasn't, not sure what happened00:03
PriceyOk so just got annoyed at something, in frustration miss-typed something, and got "[1]  + 6200 suspended  irssi"00:04
PriceyWhere has it gone...00:04
stdintry "fg"00:05
LjLPricey: :)00:05
stdinyou may have hit Ctrl-Z00:06
* LjL feels sorry for price's controlling terminal00:07
=== PriceChi1d is now known as Pricey
Priceynot happy now00:12
LjLPricey, deep breath, type "jobs", and bring the stuff back into foreground?00:13
Priceyits there!00:13
LjLPricey: but not responding?00:13
PriceyLjL, how do I bring it back into foreground? :)00:13
Priceyaha fg00:13
LjLPricey: fg <jobnumber>, or just fg if there's one job00:14
PriceChildjr/redraw00:14
Priceyyay00:14
PriceChildWell I never knew that before, thankyou.00:14
PriceChildI've used Linux for a couple of years... honest00:15
* nikrud always believes PriceChild 00:15
LjLPriceChild: then you've just never hit ctrl+z by mistake00:15
PriceChildah thanks stdin, someone turned off the main router earlier just before you gave me the answer.00:16
nikrudamazing how the fundamentals of bash are not taught in schools today00:16
PriceChildthey so should be00:16
PriceChildnone of this 'informations communications technology' rubbish00:16
Seveasstupid schools, they think math's more important00:16
nikrudmath? That's what calculators are for00:17
PriceChildReal mathematicians don't use calculators!00:17
nikrudSlide rules rule! (looking around, I have to sigh)00:17
PriceChildso can you do that ctrl+z thing with any process?00:18
nikrudyes00:18
PriceChildfunky00:19
nikrudmultiple processes, stick them in the background and bring them forward at need00:19
PriceChildi won't dare... but funky00:19
nikrudPriceChild you've never run gedit something , and then wanted the terminal briefly?00:20
Mr_Unagithe reason ljl that you cannot, no matter how hard i try, believe someone when they say they arent someone is because you havent stopped for me to say that i made a grave mistake that day in leaving the business with my laptop logged in and open00:20
LjLPARSE ERROR ON LINE 100:20
LjLok, i parsed that.00:21
LjLsounded more like german than english, but i have to give you it was grammatically irreprehensible.00:21
LjLMr_Unagi, help my fading and hard-worked memory, please... how did it happen again that waynrdude was you?00:22
Mr_Unagiwayne is my dad00:22
Mr_Unagiafter checking the logs ive figured it out00:22
Mr_Unagiprior to when he had moved to my machine he was working on the camera server trying to get that working00:22
Mr_Unagihe moved to my machine asking another question and shortly after that switched to his computer00:23
Mr_Unagiwhen thanking someone for the help, and that person not understanding what the thanks was for, my dad indicated that '<--------------mrunagi'00:23
Mr_Unagimerely an indication of 'screen name' not actual person00:23
LjLMr_Unagi, you do understand that the *number one* excuse for trolls in the whole history of trolling is "it was my brother / dad / sister /etc"?00:24
Mr_Unagii had not been here most of the day and i hadnt been on until 5:43 eastern00:24
Mr_Unagii completely understand00:24
Mr_Unagibut in my only defense if you have any indication........any misunderstood ban evasion was only on this connection00:25
Mr_Unagibecause this connection is my parents business............and was the only time my dad would ever be on my laptop to which that wont hpapen again00:25
LjLMr_Unagi: this connection = comcast?00:25
Mr_Unagiwell i mean if thats the only indicator you have then no00:26
Mr_Unagibecause our home connection is comcast as well, i just didnt know if the hostname would be different00:26
LjLMr_Unagi, eek, you've been on specdns, hawaiiantel...00:26
Mr_Unagiyes i know........which is why things were testy anyway because i was trying hard to conform to the coc but yet there was another time that i messed up00:27
Mr_Unagianother thing is that i move around alot.......i.e. hawaiiantel00:27
LjLanother time? you have a collection of bans, really00:27
Mr_Unagii understand00:27
Mr_Unagito which it is never my intention to cause a problem00:27
LjLMr_Unagi, if you hadn't been a troublesome users, maybe i'd believe your story of connection changing etc.00:27
LjLmaybe i believe it anyway00:27
LjLi mean, i have no reason to think you're lying, except the fact that you've been troublesome for very long00:28
LjLand that's a very strong reason to keep you banned, no matter whether what you're saying now is true00:28
Mr_Unagithe only thing i can say is that on the intial 2 day ban i indicated that i was trying to do everything the right way by coming in here to which i was banned 5 seconds after doing so00:28
Mr_Unagiwhich im basically saying is an indication that yes before i was troublesome, but i had been trying to fix that and not be such a bothersome user00:29
LjLMr_Unagi, your "initial" ban was on #ubuntu on the 2nd of August. then you had many others. excuse me if it's confusing for me to find which ban you're talking about now.00:29
Mr_Unagiim referring to i believe the 3rd00:29
LjLyou see the issue? the real issue? i can't even *track* your ban, they're so many i'm lost when looking at it00:30
Mr_Unagii do understand00:30
LjLMr_Unagi: and did you say you did understood also the past 20 or so times you've been kicked?00:30
Mr_Unagione other way that i can show that i am sincerely trying to resolve and and remorseful for how things happen is that as annoying as it may have been, i have come in here numerous times to try and talk things out when i could easily ban evade on other connections00:30
Mr_Unagiwith a different nick00:31
Mr_Unagibut i actively choose  not to.........because im not intentionally a troublesome user00:31
LjLMr_Unagi, i can't buy that, all trolls i've known cared *a lot* about their nickname (= reputation)00:31
Mr_Unagiwhats more, the case of early this morning when my auto join had come into #kubuntu and i promptly parted until i knew that i was unbanned or not00:31
Mr_Unagithat is exactly my poin LjL, trolls dont care about their name and will change it to evade a ban00:32
Mr_Unagii have maintained mine and will continue to because i am in fact not intentionally a troll00:32
LjLeh... no00:33
LjLi said the opposite thing00:33
LjLall trolls i've known *CARED* about their nickname00:33
Mr_Unagioh00:33
Mr_Unagiim sorry i read it wrong00:33
LjLthey'd never ban evade by changing it so much that it'd become unrecognizable00:33
Mr_Unagito be honest i dont care a great deal about the name and could come up with an alternate but i choose not to00:33
LjLMr_Unagi, hold on a couple of minutes, i want to show you something00:34
Mr_Unagiok00:34
Mr_Unagiim going to have to go soon but it is possible that i will rejoin with my phone if im not driving00:38
LjLMr_Unagi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61964/00:41
LjLit took me a while because there's been a lot00:41
LjLlook at it. honestly, how can i unban you? you've been kicked all the time not by, say, *one* operator. you've been kicked in turns by more like a *majority* of operators00:42
LjL(many of those were bans)00:42
LjLthis indicates to me a huge problem00:42
stdinanyone else get a /msh off AYca001 ?00:43
stdin*/msg00:43
LjLyes00:43
Mr_Unagii have admitted to being a problem in the past mainly prior to january00:43
LjLplease report such messages00:44
Mr_Unagiin january it was brought to my attention that i was a problem00:44
Mr_Unagiall of feb into march i sincerely tried to do everything by the rules00:44
LjLthen you've been a problem again in march. now, we cannot give you a third chance, a fourth chance, etc, we have finite resources to keep track of troublesome users.00:45
Mr_Unagithe problem in march is directly related to the misunderstanding on the 5th00:45
Mr_Unaginot that it is an excuse00:45
LjLMr_Unagi, on the 5th of march?00:46
LjLbut i had banned you before that.00:46
Mr_Unagii know00:46
LjLsure, you say i had told you to come back in two days.00:46
LjLok.00:46
Mr_Unagiinstead of fighting it like usual i accepted it00:46
Mr_Unagitrying not to be a problem00:46
LjLbut i was already pretty dubious as to letting you back, seeing all the history00:46
Mr_Unagiif you were to lift my ban you wouldnt regret it00:47
Mr_Unagii had not been a severe problem even before march 3rd00:47
Mr_Unagimeaning00:47
Mr_Unagiimmediately prior00:47
Mr_Unagiessentially from august on i was trying to learn the rules and the way things worked.......00:48
Mr_Unagiwhich it is obvious that i wasnt getting it until about january00:48
Mr_Unagibrb00:48
Mr_Unagithe ban evading in october is kind of a special breed00:50
Mr_Unagiyes i was snide and a troll, but as for ban evading...........i didnt really know what ban evading was and mostly it was because i was in a new port00:50
Mr_Unagipretty much most of the ban evasions that you were showing me were never fully intentional evasions00:51
Mr_Unagimore specifically the latter ones and sorry for the excessive enter key just now00:51
Mr_UnagiLjL, you had said after i left on the 3rd that if i came back nicely you would lift the ban........aside from everything related to the ban evading misunderstanding........that is what i did, so is it possible we can start from where i came in and asked 'so is this the big day?'00:54
LjLMr_Unagi, at a condition.00:55
LjLyou don't respect the guidelines, o4o, or anything the ops say to you (you're pretty free to discuss it in pm with the op, but NOT debate it in -offtopic or whatever)00:56
LjLyou're out00:56
LjLout for good00:56
LjLMr_Unagi: deal?00:56
LjLi mean, i don't quite like bargaining bans, but i cannot keep debating this forever. so yes, you can be unbanned, but for goodness sake, *respect the rules* this time or if you don't, then don't come here wasting your time and my time00:58
Mr_Unagithank you00:58

stdinMr_Unagi: but an argument in one channel doesn't give you the right to disrupt others (the reason you were banned in there)01:10
Jucatois this an ok policy about Wubi? asking for help on Wubi: OK. dicussing the merits/demerits of Wubi: offtopic?01:18
Piciyes01:18
PiciWell.. To some extent.01:19
Jucatoah.. that "some extent" is the tricky part :)01:19
PiciIt depends how offtopic the conversation gets.  01:19
PiciIf someone were to ask "Should I install normally or use Wubi", then the conversation would be on-topic, but I dont think anything further than that would be.  I think this is one of those case-by-case basis things.01:20
Jucatolike "Wubi sucks, should never have been officially supported"? :)01:20
Pici"This is a support channel, not a 'complain about ubuntu/wubi' channel"01:20
Picior something to that effect.01:20
