ubotuIn ubotu, crashanddie said: fr is <reply>Ce channel est en anglais uniquement, si vous avez besoin d'aide ou si vous voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr16:12
crashanddieHi there, it would be nice to add a new !keyword into ubotu, !firefox2: Firefox 3 and Firefox 2 can be installed at one given time without any major problems. If you want to make Firefox 2 your default browser, go to System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications, change Web Browser to custom, and use 'firefox-2 %s' (no quotes) for the command.16:28
crashanddieI tried setting it with !firefox2 is <reply>..., but that didn't seem to work...16:28
crashanddiebtw, I corrected the !fr keyword, it wasn't really bad, just not very nice French. If you need the exact translation, PM me16:31
gnomefreakAmaranth: why the change of heart in closing -release-party?16:41
PriceChildgnomefreak: I think because me and ompaul thought not yet16:41
PriceChild*looks at the translation above*16:41
gnomefreakah ok16:41

Myrttiyes, if I had more than cli atm20:42
tuxicelike is there a website that lists it, or do i have to speak to the op that banned him?20:42
tuxicecli atm?20:42
MyrttiI don't have X installed on this laptop yet20:42
Myrttiso I can't (read: am to tired to play with links and even that isn't installed) access the bantracker20:43

tuxiceyes i thought by atm you meant automated teller machine :-[20:44
tuxiceany other ops that have X installed?20:44
tuxicemyrtti: another question, do you know if he was an op20:45
tuxiceis it even possible to ban other ops20:45
Myrtti*shrug* today is a  popular day of Release Parties20:45
Myrttieven I came from one just about an hour ago20:45
tuxicea release partie - never heard of it20:46
MyrttiI don't know if he was an op, I doubt it20:46
tuxiceya, i cant seem to remember20:46
Myrttiand I guess it's technically possible to ban another op20:46
tuxiceya20:46
jussio1you can ban them, but then they could unban themselves...20:46
ompaulwhat is this?20:47
tuxicejussio1, do you have access to why RAV TUX got banned20:47
tuxicei was just wondering20:47
tuxicecause he was active in feb20:47
jdongwhere is he banned from?20:47
