[03:42] I think you'd be better off joining #ubuntu-es if you want to help out [03:42] We're not administrators of the entire Ubuntu project. [03:43] ok man [03:44] pici i dont know if u see that im speaking english so dont push me away man [03:44] i understad you said Pici but i dont speak [03:44] quit [03:44] bye [03:44] bye [03:45] amonxz_keops: We aren't trying to "push you away" [03:45] well [03:45] We're trying to explain that this channel has a certain purpose. [03:45] but this isn't what the channel is for [03:45] mine bad [03:46] i just wanted to know how to help linux [03:46] amonxz_keops: where are you from? [03:46] im dominican [03:48] you could speak to the people in #ubuntu-do (The Dominican Republic loco channel) - they may be able to suggest stuff that you cna help with [03:48] great idea [03:49] i didnt know that we had a channel [03:49] and know i see that we dont have one [03:50] hmm, it says that there is one on the wiki [03:51] is just me on the channel [03:51] http://www.republicaubuntu.org.do/foro/ [03:51] you could talk to the people in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:52] its just that this sort of discussion really isn't what this channel is for [03:52] i understand man [03:52] thanks for ur help [03:53] no problem [03:57] Burgundavia: Anything I can do to help you? or are you just here to lurk? [03:57] I am a former op [03:57] I haven't yet edited my chan list to remove -ops [03:57] fair enough :) [03:58] I know you are on the CC, so I wasn't trying to get you to leave or anything [03:58] I was just wondering if there was anything I can do to help, as we don't often get visits from CC members here :) [04:04] if there isn't anything I can do to help, I think I will go to bed as it is 4am [04:04] night [04:04] goodnight [04:17] lol, poking Burgundavia is funny :) [04:19] it's not Burgundavia until Burgundavia identifes to services, anyway [04:19] ah, crap, bloody changing password [04:20] aw, darn. [04:20] now we must behave :| [04:20] that is what happens when you turn on a machine that last ran dapper [04:38] my brother spammed in #ubuntu on my ip, can someone unban me? [04:50] We get the "It was my brother, roomate, friend " excuse all the time... HAve a talk with your brother.... Whoever set the ban is the one that needs to review it [04:51] Guess what.. it was me... [04:51] hahahahaha, just looked [04:52] It was only an hour ago.. [04:54] Tommy mango .. the guy who not only spammed us but debian and used the f-bomb in pm repeatedly... [04:55] doorknob60 read the coc and come back next week [05:15] !staff [05:15] Hey nalioth, jenda, rob, SportChick, seanw, Dave2, Christel, tomaw or Gary I could use a bit of your time :) [05:15] Hey, are there any Channel Ops around...? I just joined the channel, and wanted to let you know that the user "SammyFoodRun" is a spammer-bot, who auto-spammed me about "joining his cool chat channel" in an unrequested private message. Please remove this moron bot from the channel, thanks. [05:15] hm, bad edit, this guy was in #ubuntu [05:16] nickrud: your ban is now obsolete [05:16] nalioth thanks [05:17] thanks you [05:17] no, thank you (reminds me of the demo love fest today) [05:20] i need help validating my public password [05:20] can someone help me with that? [05:20] amonxz_keops #freenode can help you with your freenode password [05:21] im talking about a pgp password [05:21] amonxz_keops this isn't the help channel, sorry. Maybe in #ubuntu [05:21] ok [05:22] or #gnupg [05:23] amonxz_keops is there anything else? We prefer that people don't idle here, so when someone drops in here we know they have an issue of some kind (we have some, but they're special cases) [05:23] *some idlers that is [05:23] cool im gone then [05:23] amonxz_keops thanks. See you in #ubuntu [05:24] doorknob60 is there anything else? [06:16] doorknob60, please read the topic [06:22] doorknob60, the best way to resolve this is to depart now; idling is not allowed here (minus a few exceptions) [06:53] oh sorry i was wathincg a mnovie [09:00] gonna need some help in a minute please [09:00] "going to" [09:03] where? [09:03] nakedgoat is going to be an issue [09:03] in #ubuntu [09:03] hassled a couple of users and is now "keen" to help [09:04] Yes, I already banned him 3 times. [09:04] ha. /me notes he's still banned from here... [09:04] He apologized, so I unbanned 1 of the 3 hostmasks. [09:04] The other 2 are too offensive. [09:04] ahh [09:04] ok, so he's known [09:04] well, he's coming around again [09:04] tritium, he's ban evading? [09:04] not quite there yet but building up to it [09:04] But, if he's a problem, I have no problem with a re-ban. [09:04] elkbuntu: he was, but did apologize. I felt lenient. [09:05] tritium, yeah... quite [09:05] note that is only *one* of the bans he has in this channel [09:06] anything with 'fahq' as ident or 'showmeyourteetees' is him [09:06] oooh it's him [09:06] he's been a pain before [09:06] yes. [09:06] showmeyourteetees [09:06] And another [09:07] See the second-to-last ban, as I don't care to type it here. [09:07] (in #ubuntu) [09:08] blunt enough? :) [09:08] here it comes..... [09:08] in #ubuntu [09:08] ompaul: where you hunting me yesterday [09:08] elkbuntu: yeah, no kidding [09:10] unfortunately being a PITA without spamming or abusiveness isnt enough for me to do anything :( [09:10] * ompaul hunts ikonia [09:10] @login [09:10] @btlogin [09:10] ompaul: The operation succeeded. [09:11] ompaul: what's up, sorry I missed you had a busy day [09:12] ikonia, not a lot I was going to exchange sound waves with ya if it hadda been suitable :) [09:12] ahhh [09:12] then I fell into being distracted myself [09:13] today I feel like a C++ function overloaded already [09:13] mix my metaphors [09:13] we could kernel later [09:14] my day works like this atm - breakfast soon and then back here some time before lunch and afternoon the classic summer fete (argh but for a good cause) [09:14] then back here [09:14] and who knows [09:14] we could try it [09:14] I've got some patches to test, you could be an excellent guinee pig [09:15] hello, requesting upgrade to staffer [09:16] not likely we ain't staff [09:16] so no staffer is currently available?? [09:16] #freenode is where you ask for staffers [09:17] i want to be a staffer at #ubuntu and other channels [09:17] sorry, you do not get staff access by asking. [09:18] well, can you guide me to being a staffer ive been on #ubuntu for 2-years (i was a staffer in #linux-assist now closed) [09:19] why not just help out [09:19] in terms of support rather than worry about being "staff" [09:20] the key is supporting people [09:20] not gaining access [09:20] that was phrased very badly on my part [09:21] ive been supporting people (thanx for the help on the other day now iam currently employed) (thankyou a lot) [09:21] ok, so whats the problem ? [09:22] your involved by supporting people, so thats great, job done [09:22] i want to become a staffer (not for power or anything just want to go to the nest level) [09:23] !membership [09:23] Want to become an Ubuntu member? Look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember [09:23] sustained contribution [09:23] thanks thats great [09:24] well, (not being rude) i just want to know why can't i be staffer? [09:25] considering i have no clue who you are, i wouldnt be prepared to give you the power to clear our channels. [09:25] liassist, I pointed you at the next level unewmemberprocess [09:26] that might get you on peoples radar [09:26] well, how do i prove it to you maybe talkin to you will let you get to know me [09:26] why d you want it so bad ? [09:26] liassist, this is your next objective: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember [09:27] ompaul, i just help people and distribute cd's and promote ubuntu using where ever i go (i hve no artwork and no code) [09:27] liassist, please read that webpage [09:28] you will understand then it is not our initial call [09:30] !coc [09:30] The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [09:31] liassist, when you have done reading those items please read the topic in this channel, have a nice day [09:32] thankyou [09:32] -NickServ- Information on liassist (account liassist): [09:32] -NickServ- Registered : May 27 07:55:29 2008 (1 week, 5 days, 00:36:29 ago) [09:32] heh [09:32] by 'two years' it seems he really meant 'two weeks' [09:32] Two years, eh? [09:33] tritium, I took a little more offence at naked goat - he got a 5 way ban [09:33] ompaul: I noticed [09:33] I had that with him once [09:33] And I agree with it. [09:33] I was too lenient with him earlier, thinking his apology was sincere. [09:34] tritium, we all get fooled by trolls every now and then [09:34] elkbuntu: :) [09:35] the code of conduct rather prones us to it too [09:36] Yeah, it was late, and I was thinking that perhaps I was too harsh or grumpy earlier. But, in retrospect, probably not. ;) [09:40] I would say you see a domain name that is aiming to be offencive and I don't mean aol or comcast ;-)) then it is in contravention of the Code of Conduct and you got to weigh that into your how bad is this [09:41] tritium, and if you are feeling that you is getting grumpy I strongly suggest that you research a flash video which can be found called "llama llama duck" [09:41] it is just nutty [09:42] ompaul: hmm, ok, I'll check it out [09:53] dualblader a problem? [09:53] no [09:53] he has some problems, but he just is hard wor [09:53] okay [09:53] doesn't listen and does his own thing [09:53] then makes it a bit worse [09:53] just "hard work" nothing more [10:01] ompaul: cute [10:12] ikonia, you need to take care not to let those ones take up *all* your time [10:59] anyone seen the mailing list? [11:00] riiiigh [11:00] yes [11:00] is it just me or does this guy seem like a paddy? [11:00] with different focus though [11:07] * Seeker` writes a reply [11:10] did you read the -women list thread> [11:10] ? [11:10] yes [11:12] well, I read everything up to the time when the "bug report" was posted [11:14] sounds like another 'we need a #norules channel' type [11:17] not at all [11:17] it's just another 'you're doing it wrong because you're not doing it how i say' type [11:17] which is not #norules but rather #myrules [11:17] hehe [11:18] the 'abusive ops' sounds familiar though [11:18] um, yes... that one comes from many a troll's mouth [11:18] digital abuse? :) [11:18] he sounds like he's been trained up by a paddy though [11:26] Come on everyone, into #ubuntu. Let's merge everything. [11:26] * Seeker` doesn't think his screen can update that quickly [11:27] It'll be even better once the LoCo channels are abolished. [11:28] wgrant, i hope your brain is hurting just from contemplating all this. [11:29] elkbuntu: Of course. [11:30] good [11:31] you mustn't forget the other people that think we are DoingItWrong™, and that #ubuntu needs to be split up too [11:31] We need to both split it up and merge it. [11:32] elkbuntu: I see what you mean about mdious. [11:33] wgrant, what have you had to define for him tonight? [11:33] Seeker`, we know. the tug of war hurts after a while [11:33] elkbuntu: Nothing, but look at his line after your two. [11:34] I reckon we just carry on as we are then :P [11:34] * gnomefreak goes for smoke before reading email [11:34] gnomefreak: I'm not sure you want to read any Ubuntu mail today. [11:35] It's all fairly unpleasant. [11:35] wgrant, i had to define 'acquaintance' and 'dud' yesterday for him. the fun ones are when you have to define part of the definition [11:35] elkbuntu: So I saw. [11:35] And yay siccness. [11:37] /me yawns [11:37] wgrant, i gather you agree with me removing his access then :) [11:37] elkbuntu: Duh. [11:41] woo! pricey's email agrees with mine! [11:45] Seeker`, from one of the linuxchix: "I've been watching his insanity from time to time since late 2002 when I first came here" [11:45] wow [11:47] #linuxchix here on freenode is primarily occupied by him. [11:47] has been as long as i can remember [11:47] heads up in -offtopic [11:48] im off to forget this mess for $time_until_bathwater_goes_cold [11:48] have fun [11:56] oh dear. [11:57] lo Myrtti [12:00] still at my mom's... [12:00] I wonder what's so special with this screenshot http://www.flickr.com/photos/myrtti/2555061045/ [12:01] uploaded 2008-06-06... Viewed 475 times (Not including me) [12:02] possibly because you keep on pasting the link in public IRC channels? [12:03] I pasted it once to #terminator, that's it. Twice here. [12:03] :O [12:03] not on -ot, nowhere else. [12:04] see? I've got no idea how it can be that popular [12:04] :/ [12:04] and, I paste piccies of my guineapigses more often, and they get max 15hits in 3 days [12:05] perhaps 30 [12:05] terminator ftw [12:05] Myrtti: But that one has LaTeX in it, which makes it infinitely cooler than guinea pigs. [12:05] what about the other terminator pics? [12:05] wgrant: :O [12:05] /mode #ubuntu-ops +b wgrant [12:06] :P [12:06] * wgrant dies. [12:06] wgrant: it's on a fetish blog, true, but seeing flickr stats... only two hits from there [12:06] 40 hits from planet.emacsen.org [12:07] Direct Traffic 201 hits, 42% [12:07] so someone else has been pasting that url around [12:07] Myrtti: what about the other terminator pics? [12:08] terminator 2, 29 views, terminator 1, 34 views [12:08] see? [12:08] :/ [12:08] I have *no* idea [12:08] maybe terminator 3 is more popular than the other films [12:08] LOL [12:09] ok, off to shop with mom --> [12:11] did anyone read his comment on bug 1? [12:11] Launchpad bug 1 in ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [12:11] gnomefreak: How'd you find out about it? [12:11] Checked his LP account? [12:11] wgrant: email [12:11] wgrant: out of over 1000 emails a day something has to show up [12:12] https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/237852 [12:12] Launchpad bug 237852 in ubuntu "Freenode #ubuntu* Channels are Too Fragmented, Over-specialised and "on-topic"" [Undecided,Invalid] [12:12] hes demanding 1 be closed due to that bug being closed [12:12] and i cant open 1 its locking me up [12:14] #1 is rather big nowadays. I remember when it had < 10 comments :( [12:15] #1 is a software bug, we need rocking software to been MS [12:15] True, true. [12:15] His LJ declares us to be dieing. [12:15] Nice. [12:16] erm, s/been/beet/ ;) [12:16] s/beet/beat/ [12:16] or beat, too tired [12:16] we shouldnt be trying to beat anyone tbh [12:16] cat > /dev/bed [12:17] s/be.t/take market share away from/ [12:21] hes starting to piss me off now [12:23] is anyone keeping these links by chance? [12:24] they will come in handy once he brings this to CC [12:25] gnomefreak: afaics, its just 1 bug and a load of mailing list posts [12:25] they wont be hard t ofind [12:26] Seeker`: that is now but since hes been bitching about Ubuntu for a long time (see livejournal posts) there will be more to come im sure [12:27] what is his IRC name? [12:27] rindolf [12:27] some how i doubt that is his main nick [12:29] thats the one he's been in #linuxchix on this network for as long as i can remember [12:29] ok thanks [12:43] oh yay, this git. [12:43] yes [12:43] *suggests shooting would be a suitable response, but in such a way as to not be a threat, or an intent* [12:44] Daviey: are you around? [12:44] I think he is more of asquare [12:45] anyone know the email to have meeting added to fridge? [12:45] http://fridge.ubuntu.com/about [12:47] Hobbsee, doesnt work like that [12:47] Seeker`: thanks [13:02] elkbuntu: he'd probably do a hell of a lot better if he didn't keep critising the project in his first mail to them. [13:02] Seeker`: thanks i did find out that we dont send to that email but ask in #ubuntu-news or use the -news mailing list [13:03] gnomefreak: ah, cool [13:03] gnomefreak: I'll try to remember that [13:03] Hobbsee, that is a given. shooting will only get you chastised by mark in your absence [13:07] heh [13:08] depends if he found out [13:08] im sure there's plenty of rats scuttling around. [13:09] likely [13:09] * Hobbsee checks the CC agenda [13:10] oh, shame. he hasn't taken it that high yet. [13:10] with some of his posts and nothing to back them up i would say go for it [13:11] demanding closure of marks bug isnt great either [13:11] * gnomefreak agrees with Hobbsee please dont feed the trolls or the wannabe trolls as they may bite the hand that feeds ;) [13:12] there are valid arguments against that bug, but yeah. DoingItWrong™ [13:12] gnomefreak: oh, sure. but i thought i'd at least pretend to be vaguely productive on there. [13:12] :) [13:13] gnomefreak, he's a little bigger than a wannabe. 6+yrs bigger [13:14] im not allowed to say what i think he is [13:19] he commented back already Hobbsee [13:20] oh well [13:20] no tears here [13:20] gnomefreak, not even happy ones? ;) [13:20] ho hot worth it [13:20] ho not [13:21] damn [13:21] no not [13:22] * gnomefreak wouldnt have minded he make an ass of himself infront of CC [13:22] but oh well maybe something will be on tv next meeting [13:22] one does not troll for 6 years by jumpin in the deep end [13:22] excellent. [13:23] * Hobbsee wonders why a few choice words are coming to midn. [13:27] * gnomefreak thinks about changing his freenode bug from invalid to fix released [13:28] what, for putting the channels togehter? [13:29] no because he left no more issues [13:29] :) [13:30] if you file a bug asking for the removal of his LP account, that would work [13:31] would need something to back it and none of this would be enough IMO [13:32] you're right, actually. i'ts not clear cut spam, so launchpad would require it to go thru ubuntu. and getting it thru the CC would be a pain, for many reasons. [13:32] loophole == someone else wants to use that LP name [13:33] since he left and wont return [13:33] that guy does like to throw his website around, doesn't he [13:34] yep [13:35] stdin: what, the one that says "hire me!" [13:35] I don't know, I've seen no reason to actually click on the link ;) [13:35] he cant say anything on his site really other than what Ubuntu people dont help [13:35] me neither [13:37]
