* nalioth hands nickrud a pxe02:09
nickrudprobably wouldn't be helpful to file a bug against ubotu02:10
Flannelnickrud: the issue is because someone commmented out line 355, with 356 in its place.02:10
Flannelthis is... the second edit like that that I've seen in my few days of looking at that plugin02:11

elkbuntunot a clue10:26
elkbuntunal might know10:27
elkbuntuor any of the staffers. i'd assume they'd have more irc clue than us10:27

jussi01grrr10:29
jussi01my usb sticks arent recognised anymore...10:29
Dave2Flannel, you split off before; it's not overly uncommon for people to get SendQ exceeded after rejoining after a split.10:30
Flannelah, so netsplit, and then sendQ after the rejoin?10:31
Dave2(i.e. they split off, rejoin, then try to /who everyone and end up getting a SendQ exceeded)10:31
Dave2indeed10:31
FlannelAlright, that makes me feel better10:31
FlannelIve gotten rid of /names on join for a number of reasons, butI don't doubt my queue was too big anyway10:32
Dave2Many clients /who channels as they join them10:32
Dave2I'm not sure if it'd actually be feasible for a third party to trigger a SendQ exceeded.10:34
FlannelDave2: If there was a split, then that's what caused it.  It was just odd for me to have such a large lag spike10:36
Flannelbut, that was the server hiccupping10:37
Dave2Indeed, I was just wondering if it would actually be feasible for a third party to directly trigger it.10:37
FlannelOnly thing I could think of would be spamming stuff, a mini-DOS10:39
Dave2Even then I doubt it could trigger a SendQ exceeded, unless it had an extremely large collection of hosts, though I could be wrong.10:41

bazhangAlmightyCthulhu, best is to part now and come back at some later date when you are ready to discuss in a rational manner.12:29
AlmightyCthulhuI'll probably think this is stupid and petty, about as much as I do now12:29
AlmightyCthulhuregardless how long I stew on it12:29
bazhangAlmightyCthulhu, then it will be not resolved; that is up to you entirely.12:29
AlmightyCthulhuI'll ask again12:29
AlmightyCthulhuWhat have I done wrong?12:29
AlmightyCthulhubesides not having a sunny disposition12:30
bazhangAlmightyCthulhu, and discussing it in the other channels will almost certainly lead to a ban there as well.12:30
AlmightyCthulhuwhy not, it's obvious how hostile you people are towards me12:30
AlmightyCthulhuwhy not go for broke?12:31
AlmightyCthulhuam I wrong?12:31
bazhangAlmightyCthulhu, again; that is your choice-->if you want to resolve this then your current path will not do it.12:31
AlmightyCthulhuI even tried to find out why your forum moderators were attacking me12:32
AlmightyCthulhuand calm the situation down12:32

bazhangubuntuforums.org the web presence has no relation to irc AlmightyCthulhu12:55
AlmightyCthulhuuhhhm, most of you are moderators on the forum too12:56
AlmightyCthulhuunless I am too far off12:56
Myrttinot official relation12:56
bazhangAlmightyCthulhu, although going off on irc about that will have adverse effects here12:56
Myrttiif there are moderators of forums here, that is coincidental12:56
MyrttiI couldn't name even one moderator of the forums on irc12:56
Myrttior perhaps one, but that's it12:56
AlmightyCthulhuso could you go "coincidentally" look at this?12:57
PriceChildAlmightyCthulhu: you seem to have gone through the forums resolution centre, if you want to continue your complaint, email forums-council@lists.ubuntu.com12:57
MyrttiI don't even remember if I've got account on forums12:57
bazhangAlmightyCthulhu, no reason to, they are a separate entity with whom which you will have to resolve this.12:57
PriceChildAlmightyCthulhu: there is nothing else we can do to help you.12:57
AlmightyCthulhuwell, that is a shame12:57
Myrttiunless you want to discuss your IRC bans12:58
* bazhang thinks there was one too many whoms or whiches in there12:58
PriceChildAlmightyCthulhu: forums-council@lists.ubuntu.com again, that's the way forward.12:58
AlmightyCthulhuwell, they'll listen to me when hell freezes over12:58
AlmightyCthulhuI'd totally be wasting my breath12:58
bazhangAlmightyCthulhu, word to the wise: dont go off in channels here about that.12:58
PriceChildAlmightyCthulhu: That is the process. Please go through that, then message me on irc if it isn't resolved.12:58
AlmightyCthulhusent13:03
AlmightyCthulhuif they blow me off, I'll put the email address on my blog13:04
AlmightyCthulhuand let THEIR box fill up B-)13:04
PriceChildAlmightyCthulhu: that email address is already public.13:04
PriceChildAlmightyCthulhu: threats are also not nice :)13:04
AlmightyCthulhuright, I'll just put it right there for them13:04
AlmightyCthulhuI'm saying, you're pulling a Foxconn13:04
PriceChildAlmightyCthulhu: we have nothing to do with this.13:04
AlmightyCthulhuthey said I was making idle threats13:05
AlmightyCthulhuI make promises13:05
PriceChildAlmightyCthulhu: Talking about this with us here is not going to change anything.13:05
PriceChildAlmightyCthulhu: I suggest you step back, and try to resolve it via email without threats. Anything else we can help you with13:06
PriceChild?13:07
AlmightyCthulhuThey locked the Foxconn thread and then swept me under the rug.13:07
AlmightyCthulhuSo please, by all means, email the mods, tell them what you think: forums-council@lists.ubuntu.com13:07
AlmightyCthulhufrom the end of my blog13:08

dmsegok so i have got supybot but its not up and running right now i have some questions15:22
PriceChilddmseg: #supybot is probably better15:23
ompauland what has this to do with -ops was the evil version of that question ;-)15:23
dmsegPriceChild: about the behaviour15:23
dmseg1) when some one is asking too many questions when the bot is busy should the bot take it as abuse or ignore the person leaving a messeage to wat15:24
dmseg*WAIT15:24
PriceChildWe have no idea about the situations this bot will be in, and so I think you'll have to make the decision youself, or alter it when needed as you learn.15:25
PriceChild#supybot might have people running these bots in similar situations, so perhaps they will have some good advice if you explain your situation15:25
PriceChild.15:25
dmsegPriceChild: ok #supybot is empty now (dead) i really cant find support or any bot rigaht now so i thought you guys might help15:26

lgcompaul: Is there something sensible you have to say here? Or just throw him out and ignore him?17:44

ompaullgc, you were removed from #ubuntu for being offtopic17:47

lgcompaul: Can you prove my banning is less appropriate for #offtopic than Myrtti's toenail colors?17:48

ompaullgc, you were offtopic you got banned, is there anything else?17:50
* nickrud doesn't have scrollback, which is made irrelevant by not having ops in -offtopic, so he just goes about his business17:50
Myrttianything else but Ubuntu support is offtopic for #ubuntu17:50
lgcMyrtti: What is offtopic for #ubuntu-offtopic?17:50

ompaulbut we are not sure about soylent red17:54
nickrudsoylents fall under religion or politics anyway17:55
lgcompaul: Indeed. But in order to brief others of the whole issue, I refer you people to the following graph: http://www.howarddarkes.com/photos/linuxposter.jpg .17:55
TheSheepnickrud: ass everything related to diet17:55
Myrttilgc: and how does that relate to this discussion?17:55
MyrttiI fail to see your point17:55
naliothlgc: what did you want to talk to me about?17:55
ompaullgc, which is from a crack pipe of extraordinary size17:55
lgcMyrtti: I suppose it's more interesting to talk on #ubuntu-offtopic about your toenails than about other Ubuntu-related issues.17:56
ompaulthe numbers are very wrong ;-)17:56
Myrttilgc: you're welcome to talk about ubuntu related issues (other than Ubuntu support, which should be at #ubuntu) there17:56
ompaullgc, at this point you seem not to be discussing something for ubuntu ops to deal with17:56
ompaullgc, so is there anything else?17:56
Myrttilgc: as this is Sunday and I'm procrastinating cleaning, I like to talk about Radioheads artistic wizardry and my toenails17:57
bazhanglgc you were politely warned and then persisted anyways17:57
lgcnalioth: I just wanted to say hi. ("How's the weather in Houston", maybe.)17:57
ompaulyes paddy17:57
MyrttiI'm really really failing to see your point17:57
lgcbazhang: I agree it was offtopic.17:58
ompaulMyrtti, lgc does not have a point, which is the point17:58
Myrttiah17:58
nickrudompaul for what it's worth I see similar numbers in the web logs for a non-technical site. But it's always the one-percenter's that drive the future anyway ;_17:58
ompaulnickrud, it turned out that 6% of the traffic on the BBC site was GNU/linux afik17:59
nickrudompaul us centric, so that may bias the numbers17:59
naliothlgc: if you have nothing else, please read and heed the /topic17:59
bazhanglgc you pasted knowing it was offtopic, then complained about the offtopicity being called? we asked politely and you persisted nonetheless.17:59
lgcI  pointed out I received no less than 3 answers in less than 15 seconds warning me of the fact. And then some moron telling me to get some education. And I suppose such moron is still hanging in there waiting to jump at the next one's throat.17:59
AlmightyCthulhuso can someone please unban me now?18:00
naliothlgc: there is no accounting for manners18:00
AlmightyCthulhuI'll be a good monkey or whatever18:00
MyrttiAlmightyCthulhu: hold on, were dealing one issue at a time18:00
ompaulAlmightyCthulhu, given your attitude earlier I won't18:01
lgcnalioth: That's what I mean people making #ubuntu so unfriendly, and it's my longstanding battle against purists. If there were not so many users eagerly waiting for someone not abiding by the rules, minor incidents would just go by.18:03
AlmightyCthulhuI don't have a bad attitude when I'm not being approached sarcastically18:03
ompaulAlmightyCthulhu, come back in an hour please18:03
AlmightyCthulhuwhy not?18:03
lgcAnd then there's the issue of ops abusing their powers.18:04
naliothlgc: op abuse?18:04
Myrttioh great.18:04
ompaullgc, there is no space for that when there are 1300 people there, as for abusing powers ....18:04
tritiumlgc: to make such a claim, you had better have solid evidence18:05
ompaullgc, you were asked there is no abuse if you step outside the accepted community norms for a channel to be removed, in fact it should be expected18:05
ompaulthe norms are stick to support18:05
ompaulyou failed, you are here, having a pointless non discussion18:05
lgcompaul: As I said, a kind reminder should do if there were not so many eager channel guardians and so many ops wanting to pull the trigger on the infractor.18:05
ompaullgc, you were asked by others18:06
ompaulthey should not have to show they have power or otherwise18:06
ompaultherefore you had been "reminded" as I see it18:06
lgcompaul: the whole thing didn't last 30 seconds. I didn't get the chance of even replying and I was out.18:06
ompaulyou kept it up18:07
lgcompaul: I just asked the moron what he meant by "go get some education". That was all. I didn't get any other chance.18:08
ompaulit started at 16 minutes and thirty seven seconds past the hour, your last comment was some three minutes and twenty three seconds later18:08
ompaulthe moran is actually an op18:08
lgcompaul: you dazzle me with irrelevant facts.18:09
Myrttiirrelevant?18:09
ompaulyou have abused a fellow human being18:09
Myrttipardon but there are people who are trying to look at their backlogs to see what happened18:09
ompaulyou are going to say this is in the spirit of Ubuntu18:10
ompaulsomehow I think not18:10
ompaullgc, you were asked not to do so by a few ops a few times18:10
ompaulyou kept it yo18:10
ompaulup18:10
ompaulyou lost the right to participate in that channel18:10
lgcompaul: worse yet: someone who doesn't have the temper has been bestowed with operator powers!18:10
ompaulbuild a bridge, get over it18:10
Myrttihow about you all get a cup of hot chocolate and lets start over?18:11
MyrttiI'll get that coffee cup of mine18:11
* nickrud gets a mocha frappuccino out of the fridge18:11
lgcompaul: you contradict yourself: you say "get over it" but you also say "you were asked not to do so by a few ops a few times". Seems like there's an unofficial blacklist.18:11
Myrttithere's something not right in this conversation and I think that if we start it all over again, we might do better18:12

Mez@bansearch lgc18:12
ubottuMez: Match: *!*@189.146.34.249 by ompaul in #ubuntu on Jul 27 2008 16:19:5718:12
lgcMyrtti: As I said: for me it's a longstanding issue: unfriendliness on #ubuntu.18:12
Mezlgc, you're complaining that you were banned from #ubuntu-offtopic?18:12
Myrttihe's not18:12
lgcMez: no.18:12
Mezseemed that way...18:13
Mezlgc, #ubuntu has rules and guidelines. If you break them, you're liable to get banned.18:13
MezAccess is a privilege, not a right.18:13
ompaullgc, read this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/30962/18:13
MezYou can continue your off-topic discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic, as long as it abides by the rules for that channel...18:14
lgcMez: I know that. The thing is people are more important than rules.18:14
ompaullgc, you are trolling as far as I can see18:14
Mezlgc, indeed. Which is why the rules are there. We need to keep #ubuntu clean so people can get support without having to read through a load of offtopic stuff.18:14
Mezlgc, the rules are there for a reason, you broke them.18:15
lgcMez: It's not that I have any trouble abiding by the rules, but when I -or anyone not from the ops club- strays gets hit with everytyhing. And that, IMHO, does not make #ubuntu a friendly place.18:15
Mezlgc, you were asked to goto -offtopic multiple times.18:15
ompaullgc, I count three times before you made your second comment and you were told after that - so I think you fail to make a case here, is there anything else?18:16
lgcMez: In 30 seconds. Or 3 minutes, whatever. If you're looking at the log, please look at my replies.18:16
ompaulThree almost-instant replies to tell me this is off-topic! Jeez! <<<18:17
Myrttianyway18:17
ompaul<lgc> Gnea: why do 'newcomers' like you have to make #ubuntu such an unfriendly place?18:17
ompaullgc, you fail to make your case and abuse people18:17
lgcompaul: You see I don't deviate from my central point. Which you miss.18:18
Myrttiso, how much of things have we agreed so far?18:18
ompaullgc, well state it again in some other language given I seem to be missing it18:18
lgcMyrtti: None.18:18
Myrttilgc: ok, that is a way to start...18:18
Myrtti*sigh*18:18
lgcompaul: No the hagas pendejo y haz de #ubuntu un lugar amigable.18:19

lgcompaul: ?18:23
ompaul""18:24
ompaulneed I say more?18:24
Mezlgc, se va por favor aquí. No vamos a venir a una resolución. I' d sugiere que usted se vuelva en una semana, quizá más18:24
lgcompaul: yes.18:24
ompaulwell I have run out of things to say, so the clue was ""18:25
lgcMez: I'm not sure what you mean.18:25
jpdsMez: Trust me, you really shouldn't use Google Translator.18:25
ompauljpds, well you do it then ;-)18:25
ompaulin one line or less18:25
* Myrtti blinks her eyes open to the smell of espresso18:26
jpdslgc: Usted puede volver en una semaña por favor?18:26
lgcPeople: Apart from the -minor, if you will- incident of being thrown out, I insist on my main line: There's no need of so many moral guardians in #ubuntu. If you people *randomly* sample the channel log, will perhaps find way too many scoldings directed at unaware -or else- infractors. I beg you to please consider this for the sake of all.18:28
Myrttilgc: and pray tell, how can we stop the normal users who want to keep the channel going from being moral guardians?18:29
Mezlgc, there were no scoldings, infact, the first person to tell you it was offtopic was someone I've never even heard of...18:29
nickrudlgc you certainly have been around long enough to not qualify as an 'unaware' user. I'd say that you _wanted_ to be argumentative, regardless of any perceived abuse targeted at you.18:31
lgcMez: that's somewhat the point: people follow examples. One of the first thing I learned in #ubuntu was "!offtopic", "!rtfm" and the like. I firmly believe that if operators use their role as moderators this doesn't have to happen all the time.18:31
lgcnickrud: that's why I said -or else- :).18:32
Mezlgc, if you feel the ops aren't doing their role, please, feel free to take it to the IRC Council18:32
nickrudlgc and argument is not tolerated, you also know that.18:32
nickrudlgc whether between ops/non-ops or non-ops/non-ops18:33
lgcMez: that's an option, but I believe things can be smoothened out by being allowed to explain oneself on the normal channels.18:33
ompaullgc, channel is too busy to allow "conversation"18:33
ompaulergo no that is not going to happen and why offtopic is offtopic18:34
lgcnickrud: remember when I told you that all a normal user gets to do is to "bend down and take it like a man" from ops? There.18:34
lgcompaul: I completely agree on that.18:34
* Myrtti is confused18:35
ompaulif you concur, you were trying to start a conversation from where I stand18:35
ompaultherefore by your own admission being offtopic18:35
lgcWouldn't it be a good idea to have #ubuntu-2 for support also?18:35
Myrtti-2?18:35
ompauland divide helpers ?18:35
ompaulnot going to work18:35
nickrudlgc I disagreed then, I disagree now. If you choose not to use the regular grievance procedures, then you won't get your side heard.18:35
NafalloMyrtti: -2 would be feisty I think :-)18:35
nickrudnah, that's for edgy and prior18:36
ompaul-3 would be called out of support?18:36
MyrttiNafallo: noooooooooo, really?18:36
MyrttiNafallo: ;-)18:36
lgcompaul: divide traffic, which is the main issue. If you don't find the help on one, you get to go to the other channel. Besides, it's hard to take notice of all what's happening on a 1300+ users channel.18:36
ompauland have the helpers divided that is not going to happen18:36
Nafallolgc: that's part of why we have local support channels18:37
ompaulyou might have a #ubuntu-mx18:37
lgcNafallo: usually with much less traffic and much less chance of support.18:37
ompauland this would happen with lgc18:37
ompauland this would happen with your suggestion lgc18:38
lgcompaul: There is #ubuntu-mx, but I've never been there!18:38
Nafallolgc: I can only speak for the Swedish one, I can only agree to less traffic :-)18:38
ompaulso try it, you might like it, it might be useful for you18:38
jpdslgc: #ubuntu-es is also available... a little.. else.. but available.18:38
lgcompaul: there are 9 persons in -mx. No big deal.18:39
Myrtti-es?18:39
jpdsMyrtti: España // Spain.18:39
lgcMyrtti: 72.18:39

Myrttiso, where are we now then18:44
* nickrud thinks ompaul just likes throuwing out buzz words ;)18:44
lgcompaul: I hope I have gotten my point to some extent in the way of being considered. I suppose you can't disagree completely with me.18:45
ompaulnickrud, I had a chat with someone at lrl about this "desktop.org" stuff and it all seems like some kind of a thing to sandwich above X below the themes18:45
ompaullgc, (A) many support channels - not going to work (B) telling people to chill - when others have done so and they appear to argue then I think they should be removed but that is me (C) was there something else18:46
lgc(By the way, as I posted on #windows, the said offtopic graph, http://www.howarddarkes.com/photos/linuxposter.jpg, must be a graph of os-related problems. I didn't have the chance to say this before I was banned on #ubuntu :-[.)18:47

Myrttijussi01: no, but she's either going to have *buntu on her laptop and me helping with all her problems, or stick to Vista and not going to get any other support from me other than giving her a F-secure cleaning cd and installing Avast or some other ****** antivirus programme on it20:52

Nafalloexactly :-)21:12
Nafalloright next to python-minimal as well ;-)21:13
Flannelpython should definately *not* be in minimal21:13

NafalloFlannel: ubuntu-minimal Depends python21:15
MyrttiFAIL21:15
FlannelNafallo: thats not what I asked.21:15
FlannelNohing else in -minimal depends on python. That would be the only reason I could see for having it21:16
NafalloFlannel: ah. I think the reason is that Ubuntu tries to push python a bit to hard ;-)21:16
FlannelNafallo: That's a bug as far as I'm concerned. Python does none of the following: Boot, Detect HW, Connect to a network, Install packages, perform basic diagnostics21:17
Flannel-standard would be fine, but -minimal is just stupid21:18
NafalloFlannel: I agree :-)21:18
FlannelNafallo: Have you filed a bug report yet?21:18
NafalloFlannel: recommends of standard maybe... or rather not have it included at all tbh.21:18
NafalloFlannel: nope21:18
NafalloFlannel: if something needs python they could depend on it themselves imho :-)21:18
