mneptoknalioth: no reason to fear what has already come to pass00:00
nalioththat's like taking offense at someone being called bipedal (except for mneptok)00:00
ompaulnalioth, I resemble that remark00:01
naliothompaul: you have a very large epidermis00:02
naliothEEEEK! another fact!!!00:02
naliothSeeker` is mammalian (and is covered in follicles) 00:02
naliothEEEK00:02
naliothFOLLICLES! I say!00:04
* PriceChild grins00:06
Seeker`:(00:06
naliothand you've all got phalanges that you need to keep to yourselves00:06
ompauland the bot is covered in factoids00:08
naliothSeeker`: i will be available after 0200  BST saturday morning00:09
* ompaul disappears 00:09
Seeker`nalioth: what timezone are you in?00:13
naliothSeeker`: US Central time00:13
Seeker`ah, that explains it :P00:13
Seeker`I will have to see if I can catch you are a sensible time at some point then - by midnight my brain is usually fried00:14
naliothi am leaving at around 6am my time thursday morning to go and pick up a new truck00:16
naliothit will be a 350 mile round trip00:16
naliothit will not be 'there and back', as we'll have to inspect it, drive it, etc00:16
Seeker`fun00:16
Seeker`it is not incredibly urgent that mootbot is set up, so if I can find you at some point over the weekend or something, that would be fine for me00:17
naliothanyway, i dont' expect to be back until after 2000 friday night00:18
Seeker`ok00:18
naliothi might be back sooner, but . . . 00:18
naliother00:18
nalioth2000 thursday night00:18
* nalioth doesn't need 48 hours to drive 350 miles00:18
* Seeker` just did a ~200 mile round trip to see his family for ~24 hours00:18
PriceChildSeeker`: wasn't worth it was it....? :P00:18
PriceChildjoking!!00:19
* PriceChild wonders how far away he is00:19
Seeker`PriceChild: it was actually - got to see someone I haven't seen in 5 years00:19
PriceChildfunky :)00:19
Seeker`yup00:19
Seeker`got to spend the afternoon sitting on the patio chatting00:20
Seeker`nalioth: like I said, if you'll be around at the weekend, i'll try and catch you then00:20
naliothi should be back to normal schedule friday and beyond00:20
Seeker`3cool00:21
Seeker`nalioth: if you dont mind me asking - if you are picking up a new truck, how will you get whatever you drove to the destination in back home?00:21
naliothmy brother is taking me out there00:21
Seeker`ah, that makes more sense00:22
emmaHello.00:29
naliothhello, emma.  What can we do for you today?00:29
emmaHi nalioth - I would like to have all of the bans placed on me lifted. 00:30
mneptokemma: personally, i'd like to see a period of you abiding by Mark's requests and contributing in constructive ways before that olive branch is extended.00:43
mneptokemma: it is not constructive to spend time going through logs of other Freenode channels looking for things with shich to take offense.00:44
mneptok*which00:44
mneptokemma: that is, in fact, divisive, and only serves to spread ill-will and fracture the community.00:44
mneptokthese are my opinions00:45
tomawCould you clarify how a person can contribute in a constructive way whilst being banned?00:45
emmaI have had a long period already where I have done exactly that. I have quietly and cooperatively worked with Ubuntu leadership even while many antagonistic things were said about me the entire time. On several occasions I have taken it on the chin in order to serve the greater interest in creating peace.00:45
PiciPerhaps a probationary period is warranted.00:46
mneptoktomaw: they can actively discourage users from /join'ing channels merely to collect information.00:46
PriceChildmneptok: could you reword that, I don't understand?00:47
mneptokemma: you have not had a long period of not reviewing channel logs for things with which you might take offense.00:47
tomawHmm00:47
mneptokPriceChild: i'd like to see less drive-by behavior in this channel from ##ubuntu-uncensored users00:48
tomawYou object to users reviewing your own published logs for things that may relate to them?00:48
mneptok(e.g. BunnyRevolution)00:48
PiciI'm tired of all this, maybe I'm just giving up: why not just unban in a few channels, keep an eye on it and then the rest.00:48
PriceChildright00:48
mneptoktomaw: no, i object to users /join'ing channels that clearly discourage non-official use for the mere purpose of ammunition gathering00:48
mneptokit's petty00:48
Nafallomneptok: that is hardly emma's fault. now you are the one taking the piss on another user from a specific channel :-).00:49
tomawThat's opinion00:49
* jdong agrees with Pici for what it's worth00:49
Nafallomneptok: same thing you asked me not to do when we misunderstood each other.00:49
emmaPici -- Because that has already been what has effectively been done. And therefore I have already had a long "probationary period" with no trouble. 00:49
mneptokNafallo: not sanctioning and active discouragement are not the same thing in my mind00:49
gnomefreakeverything about it is opinion example it was emma's opinion op was too hard on her. ops opinion that emma was spamming (without a definiton of spamming)00:50
Nafallomneptok: what are you asking emma to do about users from the other channel then?00:50
tomaw(fwiw I am comment a personal opinion, not as a member of freenode staff)00:51
emmamneptok, let me clarify this with you -- Are you suggesting that my status should depend upon me speaking to other users about unrelated conduct that you do not approve of?00:51
gnomefreakin #ubuntu yes in #ubuntu-offtopic i dont see hard unless you are insulting someone at the same time example dude lets go to #whereever because of the unfair ops (bad example but fits)00:53
mneptokemma: i am saying that an antagonistic tone exists, and you apparently are doing little to mediate it.00:53
Seeker`I think that mneptok believes that ##club-ubuntu has become something of a breeding ground for dislike of the ops, and that, as creator of the channel, you should do something to discourage the users there from what may be considered undesirable behaviour00:53
mneptokSeeker`+100:53
jdongSeeker`: agreed on the later part of the sentence.00:54
mneptokemma: you do not enter the Ubuntu community on your terms. you enter on the community's terms. i think this is something you should give a lot of thought.00:54
mneptokemma: this means that you either contribute in positive ways, or do not contribute at all.00:55
mneptokemma: fomenting dissent is not positive.00:55
emmaI have not done anything like that. And I am only responsible for my own words and actions. I am sure that you do not want to be held responsible for the words of actions of everyone in this channel.00:55
mneptokemma: you failure to understand this point led to you choosing to ignore some ops, and listen to others. this is clearly unacceptable behavior from a community member00:56
emmaThat is not an accurate portrayl of things. I believe you are referencing something we spoke about in -meeting.  The channel was simply scrolling so fast at that point that I did not see all of the comments. 00:56
mneptokemma: /join'ing this channel under an asumed nick, or sending others to spy for you, is not productive, straightforward, adult, or in keeping with the spirit of the CoC.00:57
tomawmneptok: May I point out that his channel is publically logged.  No sneaky client is required to see what happens here.00:57
emmaI have never joined this channel under an assumed nick. And I believe that you were the one who referenced an 'antagonistic tone' what is this you are saying here if not an antagonistic tone?00:58
mneptoktomaw: i'm aware of that.00:58
gnomefreakproductiveness isnt is overrated (yes sarcastic)00:58
Seeker`gnomefreak: huh?00:58
Picignomefreak: grammar too00:58
Seeker`**** grammar, we're in a hurry ((c) Jimmy Carr)00:58
mneptokemma: if you did not join under an assumed nick, then you either recruited others to watch for you, or accepted their offer of acting as a proxy.00:58
gnomefreakSeeker`: this is a never ending topic because neither side is gonna give in its been 24hours or longer now00:58
mneptokemma: this is unproductive behavior.00:59
emmamneptok - That is also a false accusation. On what basis are you saying that?00:59
Picimneptok: tbh, I havent seen any of that lately, except for whatever bunnyrevolution was doing here, but I'm not sure what was up wit that.00:59
Nafallomneptok: have you got proof of those accusations?00:59
Seeker`emma: do you agree that there is a substantial subset of users in ##club-ubuntu that dislike the op team for various reasons?00:59
mneptokemma: the fact that *during* a conversation between a nick (not yours) and ops in this channel, you PM'ed me referencing the content of that discussion.01:00
mneptokNafallo: i do. i have complete IRC logs.01:00
Seeker`Nafallo: I have seen instances where people not in the channel have referenced comments made in the channel before they appear in the logs01:00
emmamneptok - Could you please be specific? I do not know what you are talking about.01:00
Nafallomneptok, Seeker`: fair enough *continues following the discussion*01:01
PiciI'd like to know how recent we are talking about too01:01
gnomefreaktime+date+channel==!logs01:01
PiciI remember people showing up here out of the blue asking about logging, but that was in the beginning of this whole situation.01:02
mneptokemma: if you are asking me to make logs of your private messages to me public, i will. be aware that if you force me to do this, i will also share this past behavior with the Community Council.01:02
mneptokemma: i am happy to let the issue lie dormant.01:02
mneptokemma: frankly, if i were you, so would i.01:02
Seeker`Pici: I cant remember exact dates, but within the month or so I would guess01:02
emmaI would like to know what I pmed you about that was going on in this channel.01:03
emmaThis channel is publicly logged and available for everyone to read. I was under the impression that was intentional so that there was some level of accountability for ops as well.01:03
emmamneptok, as I read our PM history it appears to me that my conversations with you were friendly and welcome, and even involved humor that you responded to in kind.01:04
mneptokemma: i try to keep things light when i can. there's no reason to be unfriendly. if you'd like me to be stern and dismissive in the future, i can be. i can assure you i will be if you continue to throw my approachability and good humor back in my face when it is strategically convenient.01:06
emmaI have never done anything of the kind. I felt that your comment to me about showing our pm history made what I responded with very reasonable.01:06
emmaThese are the facts as they appear to me:01:06
emmaThere have been instances where I feel and others feel that I have been bullied by some ubuntu ops. I have enumerable times gone out of my way to insist that these are a tiny fraction of an other wise large and extremely talented team of individuals. 01:07
mneptokemma: i am going to publicly post a private log between you and myself. is this waht you want?01:08
gnomefreakthis seems to have taken a turn away from ops and users to personal issues. might i suggest moving this to a mailing list as the logs are much easier to find and a little bit more private01:08
emmaI believe that my statement at the meeting is exactly the opposite of promoting an antagonistic tone.01:08
emmamneptok - If you post a pm log I would like you to post our entire pm history so that there is full context and it can be seen we had a prior relationship and I was being jovial with you as well.01:08
emmaWhich you responded to with laughter. 01:09
mneptokemma: you were not "jokingz" about the fact that you knew about conversations in this channel that did not involve you.01:09
emmamneptok - this channel is publicly logged. 01:10
mneptokemma: as i said, i try to keep things light. if you'd rather i ban you from all Ubuntu channels and request Freenode k: you, i can. i don;t see that being productive.01:10
mneptokemma: you PMed me *during* the conversation01:10
emmamneptok - Unfortunately other Ubuntu operators have already done exactly what you said you could do.01:10
Seeker`I dont see this conversation going anywhere particularly useful. Perhaps it should stop now.01:11
emmamneptok - I am still not sure what you are referring to. I am looking at our entire pm history right now. Could you perhaps pm me to inform me on what the issue is so that I can better respond to it?01:11
mneptokemma: there is no need to respond01:11
mneptokemma: trust me, you want to forget about this.01:11
mneptokemma: i am doing you a BIG favor by offering you a chance to walk away from this subject01:11
mneptoktake that chance01:12
emmaFor several weeks I have been banned from this channel as well as all the others. That has meant that a vital means of recourse has been deprived of me. I feel that I am being asked to stop this dialog because I am raising articulate and coherent points.01:12
Seeker`mneptok: emma: I dont see this conversation going anywhere particularly useful. Perhaps it should stop now.01:12
emmaI would like to make a few more comments for anyone else who may be listening.01:12
mneptokemma: you will be unbanned when the ops team feels it is appropriate. not before.01:13
emmaThis began when I felt (and others have felt) that an Ubuntu moderator was being bullying toward me. It is certainly true that I can be reprimanded for not responding to that feeling of being bullied in the best possible way. 01:14
emmaThat is somewhat because at the time this all began I was completely new to IRC and was still entirely used to the way I treat and am treated by others off line.01:14
emmaWhen people are demeaned, disenfranchised, and disrespected they may respond in many ways. Some will respond by trying to stand taller in order to not feel they have lost their dignity.01:16
emmaIn many ways the decision to create another channel was an attempt to stand taller and not feel so powerless. 01:16
PriceChildRight, can we stop and take a breather for a second please.01:16
emmaI have since disbanded that channel as a gesture of cooperation and friendship with the larger Ubuntu community. I am fully willing to abide by the wishes of all Ubuntu leadership, even those who I feel have lost sight of their Ubuntu mandate, and have are seeking me out as a target. 01:17
PriceChildahem01:17
emmaYes. 01:18
Seeker`emma: s/disbanded/renamed01:18
mneptokemma: please do *NOT* talk about "disbanding" that channel again. it insults our intelligence. you "re-named" it.01:18
Piciahem01:18
PriceChildmneptok: you too please.01:18
PriceChildThe Council has decided to lift the ban on emma in #ubuntu.01:32
mneptokPriceChild: meeting minutes?01:32
nalioth+101:33
PriceChildnalioth: what is that a +1 to?01:34
Seeker`PriceChild: Just #ubuntu?01:34
nalioth+1 to lifting the ban on emma in #ubuntu 01:34
PriceChildSeeker`: just #ubuntu for now yes.01:34
naliothjust for now01:34
PriceChildWe're hoping that emma will take this chance to contribute to Ubuntu, supporting a user or two.01:35
mneptokPriceChild: was there a Council meeting i missed?01:35
PriceChildmneptok: no, we just had a quick private discussion.01:35
emmaI am more than happy to seize that opportunity. Thank you.01:35
mneptokPriceChild: "we" who?01:35
PriceChildmneptok: me, nalioth and elkbuntu.01:36
naliothmneptok: the IRC council01:36
mneptokPriceChild: private conversations directing policy is pretty antithetical to the open nature of Ubuntu Councils.01:36
PriceChildmneptok: I suggest we then propose a motion to publicise the irc-council & community-council ML list archives also?01:36
mneptokPriceChild: i'll understandbly abide by decisions, but IMO, this is the type of issue the Council should address in an open manner.01:37
mneptokPriceChild: excellent :)01:37
* Seeker` thought that IRC council "meetings" were supposed to be open to the public anyway01:38
PriceChildWe have read the discussion here, and are up to date. This was proposed, and agreed to.01:38
PriceChildSeeker`: they are.01:38
emmaAssuming that my experience in #ubuntu reflects the person that I say that I am, is it reasonable to expect that the namespace wide ban would be lifted after a reasonable amount of time?01:38
mneptokemma: please stop asking for promises of future actions01:40
PriceChildemma: Lets see how things go. We're all constantly (re)assessing things.01:41
emmaOkay. 01:41
emmaIs there anything else that you would like to tell me or that I can or should say?01:42
mneptokemma: i would ask that you actively discourage users of your channels from fomenting divisiveness and dissent.01:43
Seeker`mneptok: "fomenting"?01:44
mneptokSeeker`: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=foment01:44
* Seeker` thinks that "fostering" is a much better word :P01:45
PiciWas foment the word-of-the-day?01:47
emmaI actively encourage every single human being on earth to be kind to one another and conscientious about how our words and actions affect those around us. Especially when we are in a position of power.01:47
emmaPriceChild, is there anything else that you would like me to know, or that I should respond to, or say?01:48
mneptokemma: personally, i fail to see how sending people in here to gather information and poring through old logs for ammunition matches your stated ethos.01:48
PriceChildemma: not that I know of01:49
emmaI have already told you that I have never done that. -- mneptok.01:49
emmaPriceChild, okay thank you then. Would it be seen as abrupt if I left now then?01:49
naliothemma: have a nice evening  ;)01:49
emmaYou too nalioth. ;)01:50
mneptoki really, really, really, don't want to start grep-ing logs.01:54
Seeker`mneptok: dont then01:55
mneptokSeeker`: i won't unless the hand is forced. saying "i never did that" when i have clear evidence you did is not a great way to let the sleeping dog lie. :)01:58
nalioth<ahem>02:00
* Pici hands nalioth a glass of water02:01
AmaranthI can't think of a situation offhand that is rather recent02:01
AmaranthRelease time, guy talking to Canonical support about us banning people for posting links02:01
Picican't?02:01
Amarantherr, can :P02:01
bazhangoroshi02:01
Amaranthemma was PMing the guy and feeding him info from this channel long before it went in the logs02:02
Amaranthand PMing everyone else02:02
Picihttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10840/02:02
AmaranthThat's a little too recent for me to think about allowing emma in ubuntu channels again02:02
PriceChildWhat are we hoping for with this discussion?02:03
PiciI dont know02:03
PiciI'd rather not waste any more time on this02:03
AmaranthTo not give in just because we got our hand slapped by the CC02:03
Pici*sigh*02:03
AmaranthI mean, come on, that was 2 weeks ago02:04
PiciUh.02:04
AmaranthWe have people banned longer than that for much smaller things02:04
PriceChildAmaranth: do you think those bans worked?02:04
PiciAmaranth: Why dont we focus on the future, and not the past.  02:04
PiciI'm sure we all want this thing to just go away so we can get back to real work02:05
AmaranthPriceChild: I think they got rid of the person02:05
PriceChildAmaranth: do you think the same bans work in this case?02:05
AmaranthI think removing the ban because the person keeps causing problems is a bad precedent02:06
PriceChildI agree, so its a good thing that isn't the reasoning.02:06
Amaranthemma was disruptive in a major way just two weeks ago02:07
AmaranthI think the ban should have stayed longer02:08
PriceChildDo you think the ban was working? / Do you think a longer ban would have more positive results?02:08
AmaranthI don't think anything positive will come out of this either way.02:09
naliothAmaranth: i don't think she's gonna be whooping it up in #ubuntu 02:09
PriceChild'more positive'02:09
AmaranthI doubt she'll even talk in #ubuntu02:09
PiciI think this is a unique situation where extending the ban isnt going to yield better results.02:10
PriceChildAmaranth: I don't see the point in a longer ban then after that statement.02:10
AmaranthTo prove a point, I guess.02:11
PriceChildUnderstood.02:11
AmaranthI mean, now it looks like if you complain to the CC we'll bend over for you02:12
naliothi'd hardly call unbanning in #ubuntu only "bending over"02:12
mneptokPriceChild: i think the existing ban served as a cuationary tale. removing it creates a recipe for getting your ban lifted.02:12
Seeker`Amaranth: "Cause trouble, you'll get a ban. Cause some more trouble you'll get a longer ban. cause even more trouble you get unbanned again"?02:13
AmaranthSeeker`: Right02:13
mneptok'zackly02:13
Seeker`I think that the only useful thing that could happen now is to work out how to avoid this siutation in future02:16
PiciSeeker`: +102:16
AmaranthGo right ahead02:16
ubottucrdlb called the ops in #ubuntu ()02:17
AmaranthThis situation is why I've been ignoring all this stuff and just responding to !ops calls02:17
PriceChilddid that guy just join because it was -J at the split, so bots in emergency mode and wouldn't be muted?02:17
PriceChildi notice they're still -zb'ing02:18
PiciPriceChild: I'm not entirely sure02:18
PiciI was noticing it at asll02:18
Picias well02:18
Amarantharg02:18
Amaranthamazon is so annoying and all the php libraries to use it are GPL02:19
AmaranthI need LGPL or lower :P02:19
Seeker`I believe that things should be dealt with before it gets to the point where *everyone* is involved, at which point noone can give an impartial view of the situation02:20
PriceChildbots not in sync?02:20
Seeker`I believe this is what PriceChild's conflict resolution team aimed to achieve02:20
no0ticPriceChild, floodbot does the same on #ubuntu-it and it is only one02:21
AmaranthAny of you going to be at UDS?02:21
no0ticPriceChild, it keepd -J'ing the channel and -zb'ing users but never mutes them02:22
popeyo/02:22
AmaranthOther than mneptok, me and him seem to have the same viewpoints here02:22
PriceChildno0tic: it probably didn't mute because of the split02:22
Seeker`Amaranth: I'm not - stupid exams. And popey wont buy me a ticket :P02:22
Amaranthpopey: \o/02:22
popey\o/02:22
AmaranthOk, I'll argue with popey about it at UDS then :)02:22
PriceChildno0tic: you would have to check with the author though :)02:22
stdinPriceChild: he was one of the people that split02:22
popeyhurrah02:22
popeycant wait02:22
no0ticPriceChild, status tells it is not in emergency mode, I don't know, I'll try to force it02:22
stdinalso, he seems to have a dynamic IP02:23
popeybed02:23
popeydreaming of Amaranth 02:23
no0ticPriceChild, yes, I tried, he complained about his bad connection02:23
* Amaranth is scared02:23
popeybe afraid02:23
PriceChildno0tic: i took them out as they disagreed02:23
Amaranthsorry, i meant scarred02:23
Seeker`Amaranth: you will be02:24
* Seeker` has met popey before02:24
* Amaranth too02:24
PiciSeeker`: pope-like?02:24
AmaranthSeeker`: I think I'm bigger, can't remember :)02:25
Seeker`to be fair, he has given me 1 computer for every 5 minutes we've spent together in person02:25
PiciPriceChild: the factoids page isn't in a factoid anymore iirc02:25
PriceChildyeah, just realised it might not be public anymore02:25
Seeker`PriceChild: What happened to the conflict resolution stuff02:26
PiciPriceChild: its at http://jussi01.com/web/factoids.cgi iirc02:26
PriceChildPici: hmm the factoid database is web accessible, but not sure whether to publicise it02:26
PiciPriceChild: jussi said that its okay to tell people about it, but that if theres too much traffic, he'll remove it02:26
PriceChildnevermind 8-)02:26
PriceChildSeeker`: nothing more than what you heard afaik02:27
AmaranthSeeker`: wait, did he give you a classmate?02:27
Seeker`Amaranth: No, a 400MHz P2 Dell02:27
stdinyou mentioned it here so it's been logged, and everyone under the sun will know about it in 20 mins02:27
Amaranthah02:27
Picifancy02:27
Picistdin: I asked jussi about it the other day, in here02:27
Seeker`PriceChild: Perhaps it could do with some more development etc.02:27
PriceChildSeeker`: the conflict resolution process is obviously under scrutiny lately and is going to be reviewed and discussed I'm sure. We've got to fix things :)02:28
stdinPici: it's already been mentioned in other channels too, including #ubuntu ;)02:28
Seeker`PriceChild: The system you suggested was a very good idea imo - but it actually needs to be implemented - although it would take ops realising when a situation has gone beyond a normal "troll" into something bigger02:28
PriceChildSeeker`: I don't think it was my idea.02:29
Seeker`s/you suggested/were trying to get going/02:29
PriceChildI also don't entirely agree with everything that was proposed.02:30
Seeker`what do you disagree with?02:30
PriceChildI'd rather we wait until we start dicussions properly about it.02:31
Seeker`fair enough02:31
Pici21:31:14 <FloodBot2> ubottu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.02:31
Pici21:31:14 <FloodBot2> ubottu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.02:31

Amaranthsays compiz takes a year to start02:53
mneptokAmaranth: maybe in tortoise years ;)02:54
Amaranthwell it has terrible IO performance02:55
Amaranthcompiz doesn't do a _lot_ of IO but apparently enough02:55
Amaranthand it has to do the whole texture_from_pixmap thing for every window on start02:55
Amaranthactually, bring it, i want to profile it :)02:55

HobbseePriceChild: oh good!  thanks.04:05
* Hobbsee is amused. comments talking about the difficulties are unwelcome, yet the difficulties themselves are quite welcome, and no one looks into.04:10
Hobbseea lot of the terminology was from popey himself.04:11
Hobbseelast i checked, it wasn't a requirement in the CoC that we're politically correct, all the time, either04:12
HobbseeOh, you're kidding.04:30
* Hobbsee waits for the reports of more spam, seeing as she's only agreed to stop doing what she claims she never does in the first place.04:30
Hobbseeoddly enough, that probably *won't* lead to a change in behaviour.  That's like me saying that I won't murder elkbuntu - seeing as i wasn't planning on doing it anyway, the point is moot.04:31
HobbseeOTOH, she may actually have a change of heart.04:34

Myrttislytherin: ubottu is a temporary bot with less resources than ubotu did09:30
slytherinMyrtti: so ubotu is offline? Any idea when will it be back?09:30
Myrttislytherin: as such, it will not be available to all loco channels that used to have ubotu09:30
Myrttislytherin: it's offline and it will not be back, so there's no idea when it will be back09:31
Myrttithere's ongoing discussion with relevant groups about who will take care of the bot in the future, ie. who's going to host it, keep the software updated etc09:32
slytherinMyrtti: Ok. Thanks for info.09:32
Myrttithere isn't any definitive answer yet from that front, so we've got no exact time when *a* "ubotu" will be available09:33
Myrttibtw, if you could join on #ubuntu-irc and have representation of -in there09:34

ikoniano trouble at all :)11:09
jussi01right... [13:52:55] <xintron> is it possible to crack WPA keys or do you have to bruteforce?11:53

elkbuntuwhat channel?12:25
bazhang#ubuntu elkbuntu 12:25

bazhangrajesh12:25
jdaviesI can only see: [!] rajesh [n=rajesh@ns.cmi.ac.in] has quit [Client Quit]12:26
elkbuntujdavies, the nat cloak is the banned one12:26
jdavieselkbuntu: yes, I saw that12:27
bazhangrajesh hemant chitnis12:27
wgrantjussi01: One doesn't have to bruteforce WEP.12:35
PriceChildbazhang: Haven't looked at the reasons for the ban, but the ban itself is near useless12:42
PriceChildbazhang: big corporations like canonical, redhat, google, hp etc. legitimately have lots of people appearing to irc from the same ip. So among other reasons, to stop one person being treated as the rest, they get a cloak like nat/group/x-98u908749238412:43
bazhangPriceChild, okay; just seemed odd that someone would do that and as he had already left a kick was a bit late12:43
PriceChildbazhang: the bit on the end, after the x is random for each connection.12:43
PriceChildbazhang: if you really wanted to place a ban, it would ahve to be on some other part of his hostmask12:44
bazhangPriceChild, okay thanks; so just put up with it for a bit then contact red hat or whoever?12:44
PriceChildbazhang: and if you would have only kicked, not banned if he was still there, i'm interested as to why a straight ban is the way to go after.12:44
bazhangPriceChild, well would have kicked but he was already gone12:45
PriceChildbazhang: there are more ways to ban than the hostname. Also, maybe he just joined the wrong channel, or realised his problem and didn't need to be there anymore.12:45
bazhangPriceChild, that seems unlikely in the extreme 12:46
PriceChildjust reviewed logs...12:47
PriceChildare you sure you got the right guy?12:47

bazhangwill avoid banning in the future PriceChild unless completely unavoidable--though not clear when that would be--seemed warranted at the time but I have a lot to learn still12:50
PriceChildI don't see any parts or joins in my lastlog.12:50
PriceChild*redhat parts or joins12:50
PriceChildUnless my grep foo is low, I don't see any joins/parts of that mask in my logs either.12:53
PriceChildbazhang: With time you'll make your own mind up of when to use access, please don't take this as a telling off and "next time do it this way", its not meant to be. I'm just trying to help and figure out what just happenned.12:57
bazhangPriceChild, of course I would never take it that way :) I appreciate your pointing out the finer points to me very much.12:58
bazhangoops too many points12:58

PriceChildusing "/cs u nick" will undo *all* of them13:04

elkbuntuand if you undo all of them, you'll make baby tux cry.13:15
bazhangthanks elkbuntu :) just the ones *I* banned using konv the first day on the job13:16
naliothbazhang: if the person is not causing a problem ( because they quit ), there is no need for a ban.  however all situations are different, but try to start out with 'catalyse" in mind instead of 'ban'13:16

gnomefreaktyping is really bad the past 2 days :(16:08

gnomefreakHobbsee: yes pin a version of a package16:09
Hobbseegnomefreak: echo packagename hold | dpkg --set-selections16:10
gnomefreaksynaptic pinning isnt global16:10
Hobbseeyou're right.16:10
Hobbseehence, you need to do it at dpkg level.16:10
Hobbseeto reverse that, you need to do an 'echo packagename install | dpkg --set-selections'16:10
Hobbseei don't remmeber if dpkg --clear-selections also works16:10

gnomefreakpeople have been saying that since dapper16:19

gnomefreaklet me know ill be back a bit later things around her eto do16:20
Hobbseealthough other docs may reference it16:20
Hobbseecheck with mvo, but i'd be reasonably sure that the majority of that wiki stuff, in regards to pinning at least, is deprecated.16:21
gnomefreakHobbsee: it is as i have tried them over hardy and intrepid16:21
PiciDoes the documentation team routinely go through the wiki and mark pages as depreciated or only for <=$release ?16:22

HobbseePici: if, it turns out, that it regresses to it's previous state, then yes, i see no reason as to why they should possibly get more users to corrupt.18:09
Hobbseewe still appear to be getting representatives from there coming in, which is interesting.  (bunny and bascule)18:09
PiciHobbsee: Theres no one here that doesnt already know about it, and the people who currently are perusing the logs here are members of that channel already18:10

nealmcbtonyyarusso, pici, Myrtti, I'm an op in u-us-co, and came by from u-server with a suggestion about the coc factoid that PriceChild is (still?) looking at.  Also, after wading thru the cc meeting I thought I wouldn't leave hastily so I could get some more insight and empathy about your trying jobs :-)  I'd love to say hi at UDS to anyone here who is there....18:55
Myrttiah, now I remember18:57
nealmcbI've been dealing with the ups and downs of virtual community for over 30 years - netnews, mailing lists, muds, moos, irc, jabber, web, etc.18:57
gnomefreakdamn jabber thanks for reminding me18:58
Myrttidiscussion boards are fun. not.18:58

Myrttithere was this discussion on one of the ones I used to frequent about the most remembable threads18:59

ompaulPriceChild, a network remove for a spam bot gepep20:06
ompauland a have a look at grimreefer it might be interesting20:06
gnomefreakPriceChild: wiki is fixed for now20:14
gnomefreakim gonna add a few things after speaking to mvo tomorrow20:14
PriceChildfunky20:15
Piciompaul: ^20:26
ompaulPici, aye just noticed20:27
ompaulthanks whoever took care of it 20:27
ompaul;-020:27
ompaul:)20:27
ompaulpersistant ain't he20:29
PiciYeah... we probably dont need that mute any longer though.20:29
ompaulaye20:29
tonyyarussoI don't remember getting an answer to this earlier - is there a reason for -classroom-chat to be open outside of open week?20:43
PriceChildIs there a reason for it to be closed?20:45
tonyyarussoOther than that nobody would be particularly watching it, no.  Not sure if that matters or not.20:46
ompaultony look at the bunch who have it on auto join ....20:51
ompaulit is being watched ;-)20:51
tonyyarussowell, all righty then20:53
tonyyarussoehhhhhh, jono needs to come back to his computer20:54
Myrttisometimes, just sometimes I feel like we're the little hobbits trying to save the world20:57
Myrttiguardians and safekeepers of too much and too important stuff20:58
tonyyarussohahaha, sounds about right20:59
mneptoktonyyarusso: has there been any activity of note there recently?21:03
mneptoktonyyarusso: rather, activity in any way related to the channel name?21:03
Myrtti/me compiles the same latex documents over and over again, searching for a bug21:04
tonyyarussomneptok: don't think there's been anything at all21:05
mneptoktonyyarusso: please op yourself and set it +sm. i'll let jono know.21:07
mneptoktonyyarusso: you're right, there's no need for activity on that channel if the classrrom isn't running.21:07
mneptoktonyyarusso: or, close it however you think best. +sm seemed like an idea.21:07
tonyyarussohmm21:08
ompaul+m makes sense 22:06
ompaulif there are people in -classroom and they see a need for it I guess it will be done22:06
* ompaul can do -classroom but not -chat ;-) no access hehe22:06
ompaulnight all22:59
gnomefreakis there a way to just change the blog address in planet-ubuntu config file and update it?23:35
tonyyarussognomefreak: what do you mean by "just"?23:35
tonyyarussoshould be the same as any other edit.23:36
gnomefreaktonyyarusso: instead of going through all the set up for a new one23:36
* gnomefreak not sure how to update the edit after its made23:36
gnomefreakthe wiki tells you how to set up a new account23:36
gnomefreakoh i see it i think23:37
tonyyarussoeh, read the bzr docs rather than the wiki.23:38
tonyyarussoI know I've done it, but don't remember offhand.23:38
gnomefreakbzr commit -m "Added yourusername to Planet Ubuntu"23:39
tonyyarussoHmm, one of my coworkers seems to be having some trouble grasping the CMS concept - still thinking in terms of static HTML, manual SQL calls, and individual PHP files.23:40
gnomefreaki hate bzr23:44
tonyyarussoI'm not particularly fond of anything more complex than cp or drag and drop.23:44
gnomefreak:)23:46
gnomefreakreally should add a section for updating/editing planet23:47
gnomefreakive done my 2 wikis a year today :)23:47
