ikoniajust cautious of the links in ubottu thats referencing ubotu11:16
elkbuntuthey should all have been a self reference to begin with, similar to how <reply> is done11:19
ikoniayes, there are a few (looking through the database) that hard code the name of ubotu11:19

ikoniaelkbuntu: thank you11:26
Garyasked for senior staffer assistance11:28
ikoniapoor elkbuntu banning about 20 nicks11:29
ikoniaelkbuntu: nice effort11:31
elkbuntuGary, the yvonnebots have been hanging around for days, im not sure it's something they can cope with11:31
elkbuntuGary, is there a way to put a ban in that matches and removes when they change nick?11:32
elkbuntuthere was already a new batch waiting in #debian by the looks11:34
Garyyou could ban yvonne*11:36
elkbuntuGary, and that would *remove* them when they change the nick to that?11:41
Garyif it were a mute, it'd mute em11:44
Garybut no, it'd not remove them11:44
elkbuntuso your answer to 'is there a way' is 'no'?11:44
ikoniaelkbuntu: rather than freenode banning / kicking I wonder if it would be possible to have something like flood bot kick %yvonne% nicks11:45
ikoniaelkbuntu: eg: as it see's a list of known nicks kick them11:45
elkbuntuwhat about one of those chanserv bans... the type sev cracked over11:45
ikoniathat shouldn't be too big an augment11:45
ikoniathen it's useful beyond this current problem11:45
elkbuntuikonia, a floodbot hitlist could be useful yes11:45
ikoniayou could have a "known nick" list for things like this11:45

gnomefreakif you used seveas plugins and code it should all be there and working unless he changed it while i was gone13:05
jussio1gnomefreak: Ill have a look at it. this bot has been running for a while, but seveas stuff was used as a base. 13:06
gnomefreakah13:06

jussio1Amaranth: :P13:35
Amaranthworse, i fell asleep pushing the f1 key13:35
gnomefreakgood f1 doesnt do anything outside of compiz13:35
PiciI was going to suggest seeking help if you fell asleep like that, but I guess you're one step ahead of me13:35
gnomefreakgood thing *13:35
Amarantherr, f1 is help13:36
gnomefreakoh crap f1 does do something13:36

gnomefreakok im gone for a bit13:37
elkbuntuYvonne, have you any clue what they're wanting from you, or are they just sick puppies?13:38
Yvonnethey got what they want I guess, me banned.13:38
YvonneI don't know13:38
YvonneI have a weird feeling they come from my network.13:38
elkbuntuYvonne, havent considered changing your nick?13:39
Yvonnemaybe I should if it continues13:40
YvonneI rather not.13:40
elkbuntui think there's more coming guys13:40
ubottuFloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor13:41
Picilag methinks13:42
YvonneI'll leave the #ubuntu for now 13:42
Yvonnemaybe they part13:42
elkbuntui doubt it13:42
Yvonneif they are out to get me only they wont have fun if I can't see it.13:43
elkbuntuYvonne, if you changed your nick to Yvonne| it would probably make sure you're the last yvonne on the tabcomplete list13:43
HobbseeYvonne: that's admitting defeat.13:43
YvonneHobbsee: I know, but what can I do.13:43
elkbuntuand hence, we'd not accidentally hit you13:43
HobbseeYvonne: keep participating anyway, and rely on freenode staff to kline the trolls.13:44
Hobbseeif, in their infinite wisdom, they choose not to do anything, then you may want to quit13:44
elkbuntuHobbsee, they *are* klining them, but they're coming back with more ips really quickly13:45
Yvonnethey join slowly, sit for a while then "attack"13:45
Hobbseeelkbuntu: ah, damn.  i was under the impressoin they'd stopped for a bit.13:45
elkbuntuthey might be catching breath, yeah13:46
YvonneIf they really come from my network, they know I can't *line them here13:46
elkbuntuyou should be gathering a really nice collection of ips for there though ;)13:47
Yvonneahh, my coffee is cold now13:49
jussio1morning Jucato13:49
Jucatohey jussio1 good evening13:49
Hobbseemorning Jucato!13:56
Jucatohiya Hobbsee!!!! :)13:56
Hobbsee:)13:57
Yvonnemaybe staffers can see they have different usermodes set, I know most floodbots on my network mostly have deaf mode set so they are easy to find13:57
Yvonnenot that we have a network full of floodbots though, that didn't sound good :)13:58
elkbuntuyou could always pop into #freenode and ask13:58
Yvonnethanks, I hope it wont happen again13:59

ikoniaHobbsee: sorry. missed your comment earlier, envyng is in ubuntu as I understand it, but envy isn't14:54
ikoniaI appriciate one is really a front end from what I've read, but is there any distincation that is not clear14:54
Hobbseeikonia: yeah, that.14:56
Hobbseeikonia: it should have it's crackfulness removed14:56
ikoniaHobbsee: so is "envy" still the hunk of junk, or is it a new re-write thats been incoperated (envy - not envyng"14:59
Amaranthenvy still sucks, envyng is not bad15:00
ikoniaAmaranth: thats as I understood it also15:01
ikoniajust want to make sure I don't rubbish a product thats trying to be brought forward15:01
Hobbseeheh15:02
* Hobbsee doesn't know15:02
bazhangenvyng is fine15:08
ikoniabazhang: as in fine it works, or as in fine it's "supported"15:18
ikoniabazhang: and are you differentiating between results from envy over envyng15:18
ikonia(sorry, just being clear)15:18
Amaranthsort of supported15:19
Amaranthit's in universe and the guy had help from ubuntu people to make it not suck15:19
bazhangikonia: sorry did not see your message--works fine in results as using it now and no problems whatsoever; envy is a bit of a problem to say the least15:20
ikoniabazhang, got you, and Amaranth response also paints a clearer picture of why15:21
ikoniamaybe an update on the facotid of that, makes it easier to differentiate for people15:21
bazhangikonia as to the why--well only gurus could say15:21
bazhangas I suspect you are15:22
ikoniano no, that makes sense, if ng is a re-write / update with ubuntu input, I suspect the quality control will be better than the tosh that envy as a tool knocked out15:22
ikoniamy reading suggested it was just a re-submital to ubuntu with a front end, but a re-write/update makes sense15:22

Picichmac_away: ah, thankyou16:21
Picichmac_away: which factoid?16:22
chmac_awayIt needs 2 Ts, and it doesn't recognise Guidelines as a command :)16:22

Pici!guidelines16:23
ubottuThe people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines16:23
ikonia!away 16:23
ubottuYou 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»16:23
Pici!away =~ s/ubotu/ubottu/16:23
ubottuI'll remember that Pici16:23
chmac_awayBut !command doesn't produce the same result as /msg ubottu command, or at least not with Guidelines16:24
chmac_awayTry /msg ubottu guidelines, you get "Error: "Guidelines" is not a valid command." then the factoid16:25
Picichmac_away: Yeah, its currently a known issue.  ubottu was just put in place because we have had some issues with the original bot's host :(16:25
chmac_awayCool16:26

Hobbsee[02:16] <sabdfl> can you coordinate with him?17:22
Hobbseegoody.17:22
Seeker`yay!17:28
Seeker`sadly the mootbot plugin for the new ubotu was never finished17:29
Seeker`so it still needs to run on eggdrop, which noone with a "decent" network will touch17:29
Hobbseeso, PriceChild has offered to handle it, as i'm afk for the next while (work, uni, etc)17:29
HobbseeSeeker`: ewww.17:29

Seeker`e17:32
PiciI do not like tcl17:32
Seeker`It took about an hour to learn17:33
PiciI tried using it a while ago to make a trivia bot and failed miserably17:34
tonyyarussoI wish there was a way to put a comment on the same line as "chanserv gives|removes op to|from foo"17:35
Picitonyyarusso: What do you mean?17:35
tonyyarussoPici: Like, I just opped myself in -classroom to handle questions, but then popey came back so I didn't need to, so I could do something like '/quote chanserv op #ubuntu-classroom -tonyyarusso "Lets popey handle it instead"'17:39
tonyyarussoPici: Or, sometimes I op in another channel just to do /invites, and it looks weird to op up, do nothing visible, and deop.17:39
Picitonyyarusso: ah17:39
PiciI'm gonna pull down a branch of the new ubot code and take a look at it since Seveas probably wont be touching that anymore17:47

HasoneI'm trying to fix this dcc thing, but I can't find th  options in chatzilla21:38
hischildi've given it some thought and was wondering whether the pastebin factoid can contain some info for pastebinit (the app)?22:54
stdinwhat it would you want it to say?23:04
gnomefreakwe have pastebinit in the archives?23:06
gnomefreaki was using webboard23:06
gnomefreakwe do23:06
gnomefreakhm23:06
hischildstdin, i have no idea. I only gave it some thought as it's one of the main utilities i make others use for pastebinning information and then i started wondering. 23:13
hischildgnomefreak, we do :-)23:13
hischildstdin, perhaps a new factoid explaining the purpose of pastebinit with a link in !pastebin?23:16
stdingo ahead and suggest one23:17
gnomefreakit doesnt show up anywhere though23:17
hischildgnomefreak, pastebinit is a command line app. You can feed it information and it'll produce a pastebin link. cat /etc/X11/xorg | pastebinit gives you a pastebin with your xorg.conf for example. 23:18
hischildstdin, where/how? (sorry new to this)23:18
gnomefreakoh23:18
hischildgnomefreak, fix that typo there to xorg.conf and not just xorg23:19
gnomefreaksweet23:19
gnomefreakgnomefreak@Development:~$ pastebinit -i /etc/apt/sources.list23:19
gnomefreakhttp://pastebin.com/f624cd9bc23:19
stdinhischild: you can "/msg ubottu pastebinit is ....." or do "!pastebin it is ...", or just type it here23:19
gnomefreakomg i love it23:19
gnomefreakits easy23:20
hischild /xorg ==> sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit23:20
gnomefreak-i worked with less work :)23:21
hischildstdin, i'm afraid i'm not that good at wording and stuff. 23:21
hischildgnomefreak, true, but piping works with ls as well, as with most other commands 23:21
gnomefreakoh23:21
hischildgnomefreak, your way works better for files, i'll admit that :)23:21
gnomefreakbut wont work for everything unless you pipe output to file23:22
hischildgnomefreak, stuttering output is true. Temp files work for that. 23:22
gnomefreakyep but proble is cant use it when building failures occur as it would be way too much text 23:23
gnomefreakproblem but its fixable23:23
hischildperhaps pipe to a file and then tail it?23:23
gnomefreakyeah that would work23:23
hischildgnomefreak, it's very useful when helping someone who can't use a pastebin service good, or has some command line problems. It's hard for a newcomer to copy out of a terminal sometimes. 23:24
gnomefreakxorg issues it works great for 23:25
gnomefreakinstall that mouse app and you can paste with mouse23:25
hischildthat mouse app?23:26
gnomefreakcant recall name of it off hand23:27
gnomefreakits like 3 letters23:27
hischildwhat does it do? 23:27
gnomefreakallows you to paste without X23:28
gnomefreakgpm i think it is23:28
hischildsounds nice23:29
gnomefreakthat is the app23:29
hischild!show gpm23:29
ubottuFactoid show gpm not found23:29

hischildi see. *checks*23:30
gnomefreakim 99% sure on it23:30
hischildoh man my pc is slow ... converting a dvd to avi 23:30
* mneptok whispers "avi is not a format" :P23:32
hischildgnomefreak, yes you're right. Says so in aptitude show :)23:32
* gnomefreak cant sign in :(23:33
* hischild whispers back that it's a rough description, but would you call dvd a file format then?23:33
gnomefreakits possible dvd is a type of format23:34
mneptokAVI is a container. it can wrap many codecs, including DivX and XviD, which are probably the most poular.23:34
mneptok*popular23:34
gnomefreakwhy dont they just spell it backwards23:34
mneptokDVD video uses a raw encrypted video stream, and a timing hint track, IIRC23:35
gnomefreaksomeone stopped thinking of names i guess23:35
ompaulgnomefreak,  backawards has more letters than it  ;-)23:35
gnomefreak:)23:35
ompaulgnomefreak,  and upon more reflection it is also noted that backawards has more letters than ti  ;-)23:35
hischildgnomefreak, from my point of view, dvd is also a container, as is avi. Though i'm currently converting to an XviD format :)23:35
mneptoklol23:36
mneptokthat's the spirit!23:36
gnomefreaklol23:36
gnomefreakDivX and Xvid are different. how?23:36
gnomefreakwhy23:36
ompauldon't ask why politics of being a monopoly are boring23:37
gnomefreakhe worte it on paper and went to a mirror23:37
mneptokDivX is a proprietary codec based off work done on MPEG423:37
mneptokXviD is an open reverse-engineering of the DivX codec.23:37
ompauland what is on a DVD to start with?23:37
* ompaul knows nothing of DVDs23:37
mneptokDVD video uses a raw encrypted video stream, and a timing hint track, IIRC23:37
mneptok(x2) :)23:37
gnomefreakscratches23:37
hischildompaul, a music dvd from immortal souls. 23:38
ompaulmneptok, so it is just a data dump 23:38
ompauldone on a sector by sector basis or whatever way they do it 23:38
gnomefreakall i know is i learned how to do bad things with dvd files23:38
hischildmneptok, i have no idea which codec came to be from which one or how they came to be at all, but from my experience so far XviD gives me better results then DivX23:38
mneptokompaul: it is compressed and encrypted in some way. guy named Jon knows about that stuff. ;)23:39
ompaulmneptok, ack23:39
gnomefreakso do i :( but shhh23:39
ompaulmneptok, that would be a surname then ;-)23:39
mneptokompaul: yeah, his given name is "DVD"23:39
ompaulhehe23:39

elky_workompaul, did your restriction on the nick 'jesus' get lifted?23:54
ompaulelky_work, people thought it was far too broad and now we get this 23:54
elky_workindeed23:55
hischildcurtis is asking for torrent links to cod4 and spamming me. I'll put him on ignore, but i'm fairly sure he'll bother others with it as well. 23:55
elky_workhischild, iirc curtis was in last night spamming with '?'23:55
hischildelky_work, after refusing to help him obtain a link for a cod4 torrent he started to do that, yes. 23:56
elky_workompaul, can you please waste some time on curtis before removing him23:56
hischildi'm sure you'll enjoy yourself with it23:56
elky_workim at work. i shouldnt even be in *this* channel23:57
