m_newton1http://jussi01.com/web/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu&search=&order=popularity%20DESC&page=001:25
m_newton1the bot i have is Supybot01:25
m_newton1more specifically i have an plugin called infobot that handles stuff related to the factoids01:26
m_newton1Can i bring my bot in?01:26
PiciEh?01:27
m_newton1?01:27
PiciThe factoids are here: http://jussi01.com/web/ubuntu.db01:27
m_newton1i tried that... i got this message01:27
m_newton10 factoids added.01:28
PiciIts not for the infobot plugin, its for the encyclopedia plugin. The current branch is in: https://code.launchpad.net/~tsimpson/ubuntu-bots/tweak01:28
m_newton1can i bring my bot here01:28
PiciWhat would that accomplish?01:29
m_newton1ok i wii see that plugin01:29
m_newton1i want to have those factoids01:29
m_newton1for my channel01:29
nalioththis is not a support channel01:30

m_newton1sry01:30
bazhanggardar, how may we assist you02:23
Hobbseeemma's already advertising her channel.02:27
PiciIn -bugs?02:29
Hobbseeyes.02:30
Hobbseecome to think of it, how did she get unbanned in -motu?02:30
FlannelA virtual LoCo, eh?02:53
Hobbseesomeoen should probably go monitor to see if it is actually behaving as a loco or not.02:54
FlannelI will volunteer too.  I don't think they've got me flagged as evil yet02:54
FlannelHmmm.  What's an (L) in screen mean?02:57
* Flannel thinks he just mashed the keyboard, isn't sure what he turned on.02:57
* Pici shrugs02:58
* Flannel notes it means logging.03:00
Flannelthat'd be ^a H, for those of you playing along at home.03:23
Picibingo!03:25
Flannelthere's no H in bingo.03:25
Picioh03:26
Picibingoh?03:26
FlannelThat'll work.03:26
Picinalioth: could we get ubot3 in #ubuntu please?03:33
* Pici sighs03:37
Flannelis it a full moon or something?03:37
nickrudlinpus?03:37
Flannelits not even a weekend03:37
naliothwhere is ubottu?03:39
PiciIt timed out and hasn't been back since.03:40
naliothlovely03:40
gnomefreakhow has tonight been?04:31
Flannelgnomefreak, nickrud: he's missing /var/www04:41
nickrudguest?04:42
Flannelaye04:42
Flannelor, I think thats the same guy.  I'm really not a fan of the new guestXXXXXX thing.04:42
FlannelThey all look the same.04:42
nickrudyep, same guy. missing dpkg?!04:42
elky_workFlannel, it only happens when they've tried to steal someone else's nick (innocently even)04:42
Flannelelky_work: I know, but its still annoying.04:43
FlannelIf I had to pick a reason, I'd say he's missing a mount point.04:43
=== nickrud is now known as grendel
Flannelof course, ... that doesn't really coincide with *all* of his symptoms04:43
grendelhm, this nick still isn't protected (nalioth)04:43
=== grendel is now known as nickrud
elky_workgrendel needs protecting?04:43
FlannelI believe he's fine with reinstalling, if he can get his /var/www folders04:43
FlannelNo, just grendels mother.04:44
nickrudif he's missing dpkg, like he said ...04:44
nickrud@btlogin04:44
Flannelgnomefreak: He's not worried about the folder, hes worried about the content04:45
nickruddang, I've lost my bantracker access04:45
gnomefreakFlannel: if he re creates it his apt/dpkg should work04:45
Flannelgnomefreak: He04:45
Flannelgnomefreak: He's worried more about /var/www, I believe he doesn't have backups.04:45
nickrudband4life can't access the ban tracker (bot is down) so I'd suggest assuming it's still active04:45
gnomefreakFlannel: hes also not been a great person to help04:46
gnomefreakif its the same guest##### that im thinking of04:46
gnomefreakbot is down?04:46
band4lifenickrud well I was banned for reposting a question excessively and it was supposed to be for a month.  and its been about 5 months.  so can I come back04:46
band4life?04:46
gnomefreak@whoami04:46
gnomefreakthats not good04:47
Flannelgnomefreak: Doesn't look like its the same one, or at least, doesn't appear to be trouble, at least in the past few hours.04:47
nickrudband4life drop back in tomorrow, bot should be back up04:47
band4lifenickrud oooooooooook.  thanks man.04:47
gnomefreakFlannel: he has a tendency to not use what you give him if he does it never works but lets see how it goes04:48
band4lifeif I could suggest anyone for the best admin.  it would be nickrud.  he is the man.04:48
band4lifeand nalioth is not.  because I believe that is who banned me.  but no hard feelings.  I shall return tomorrow.  may the force be with yall.04:49
band4lifeor LjL?04:49
band4lifebye04:49
nickrudband4life best to not dig a deeper hole04:49
gnomefreakhe didnt think those comments through too much04:50
nickrudhe doesn't think things through well, true04:50
FlannelI think he just thinks we all hate each other.04:50
gnomefreaknickrud: what did you do to him for him to like you so mmmuch? you didnt remove the ban04:50
nickrudwell, I do think we are stepping all over one another to get on the council ;)04:51
* nickrud still hasn't seen any self nominations04:51
FlannelI mean, I know *I* hate you all, but I don't think anyone else hates anyone.04:51
nickrudgnomefreak I tried to explain how to behave to get his ban removed.04:51
gnomefreaknickrud: ah04:52
nickrudI come at this from a totally different angle than the rest of you I think: from social work. The reason I hate you all :)04:54
gnomefreakwha tis wrong with the council as it is?04:55
gnomefreakwhat is04:55
nickrudgnomefreak nothing, except it's short members04:56
gnomefreakthought it was decided to be a year or 2 sessions04:56
nickrudyou missed a meeting then. There's going to be a nomination process, and names presented to the CC Real Soon Now04:56
gnomefreakshould only be short 1 and thats seveas, i thought ljl,elk,naliot_h and someone else but im blanking on who04:57
gnomefreakpricey04:57
nickrudyep. But as far as I can see, LjL is awol, and there was discussion of replacement. But at least one04:57
gnomefreaknickrud: he shows up sometimes but never speaks from what i seen04:58
nickrudawol isn't the right word, since he doesn't need leave, but the quorum is 3 and that's all that show up.04:58
* nickrud is tempted to think a certain nick in ubuntu is him04:58
gnomefreakhim == l_j_l?04:58
nickrudyeah. Just doing help. He's always liked that from what I saw. I didn't really get to know him well04:59
nickrudI mean, he's "here", but not 'here' right now :)05:00
gnomefreaki have had a few talks with him a long time ago but when i left in jan and came back at end of april i havent seen him speak and alot of changes were made05:00
gnomefreakdamn its midnight already05:00
nickrudgrowing pains I guess. The irc council is still pretty young, less than a year old.05:01
nickrudIf I read right05:01
gnomefreakthats about right05:01
gnomefreakmaybe just shy of a year05:01
gnomefreakdid anyone reply to Dani's email?05:03
* gnomefreak thought bot hosting was asked already from ubuntu servers05:03
nickrudthere's been some discussion about hosting today, but no specifically about that email05:04
naliothgnomefreak: i am working on getting ubot3 on a remote system.  if it works, perhaps we can migrate ubottu to something similiar05:13
gnomefreaknalioth: cool05:15
gnomefreaknalioth: are you gonna be around for next 15-20 minutes?05:17
naliothshould be.  why do you ask?05:18
gnomefreaknalioth: im going for a smoke and would like to pm you about something05:19
naliothi don't smoke  :)05:20
gnomefreak:)05:20
* Myrtti sighs06:21
Flannelhmm, should've kicked.06:28
* Flannel repremands himself.06:29
FlannelSo, it unban a ban forward, it includes !#chan?06:29
elky_workuh, last time i saw 'linux-cool' was from the ascii penis crowd06:58
Flannelwhat?07:02
elky_workFlannel, the crowd who tormented our channels with ascii renditions of male genitalia 'for power'07:05
FlannelNo, I remember that, unfortunatey, but where is l-c?07:06
elky_workapparantly 'frenode'07:06
jpds##linux-cool was a bunch of people from #ubuntu-es.07:23

bazhangthe big luggette is back!08:30
jussi01I removed a load of channels - got a feeling that was the reason.08:30
jussi01bazhang: what?08:30
bazhangfemale version of big lug jussi0108:30
bazhanga term of affection, most assuredly08:31
jussi01nalioth: most of the channels removed from Autojoin were locos anyway - so if any of them ask for bots, could we get ubot3 there?08:32
ikoniacan / should we mute ubot3 in #ubuntu08:33
jussi01yes08:33

PiciHi13:49
ikoniahello there13:49
* stdin thinks about a better user management system for ubottu14:26
Picistdin: I was thinking the exact same thing whilst playing with launchpadlib yesterday.14:27
stdinright now it reads all the IRC nicks registered for a user by parsing RDF and HTML data and adds all the nicks it finds14:28
stdinwhich means ubottu has 85 registered users atm14:28
Picifor person in launchpad.people['ubuntu-irc'].getMembersByStatus(status='Approved'):14:28
stdinPici: figured out how to get IRC nicks from that yet? because all I can get out of it is a link, which I don't know how to access :|14:29
stdinie: user.irc_nicknames_collection_link14:30
Picihttp://people.ubuntu.com/~flacoste/launchpad-api-doc.html#irc_id <- ?14:31
stdinyeah, but all it gives me is the link, not the actual data14:31
Picihmm14:37
stdinahh, user.irc_nicknames looks promising14:38
* stdin wishes dir(x) would would with launchpadlib14:39

band4lifeHi!  I was wondering if I still have a ban.15:28
bazhangband4life, under what nick; this one or another15:38
band4lifebazhang sorry i was afk.  i believe it was under this one.  but it could also be under mysterioso15:58

band4life@login15:59
ubottuband4life: Error: You are not identified15:59
band4lifeyep16:01
bazhangband4life, what happens when you try to join #ubuntu16:01
band4lifebazhang i can join fine.  but I am using a diff. I.P. so i figured that was why.16:01
bazhangband4life, no bans under either of those names that I can see, so unless it was another then no ban right now16:02
band4lifeok cool.  thanks16:02
stdinI can't see any active bans on your IP range or ISP, so I guess it's safe16:02
band4lifeit was an old ban, but LjL was very persistent in extending it, and wouldnt tell me how long it went for.  thanks guys16:03

Mezjussi01, yes, for helsinki, was correcting Myrtti in PM20:05

Mezhuh?20:06
jussi01PriceChild: all yours ;)20:06
PriceChildHey there bogey-20:06
bogey-Hi Pricechild20:07
bogey-So about this making me an op matter....20:08
bogey-I feel as if it should be done in the next 20 minutes so, although I readily admit I do not know the protocol20:08
PriceChildbogey-: 'Usually', people don't apply, but when the channels need more ops the channel owners choose some from the best channel participants.20:08
PriceChildbogey-: this is a "you're requesting to be an op matter", not a "making you an op matter"20:08
bogey-Ok I understand20:08
PriceChildbogey-: what ubuntu channels are you active in?20:08
bogey-Then can you fix the ubuntu-read-topic thing that affects me ALMOST everytime I connect.20:09
PriceChildbogey-: Could you please read the name of that channel.20:09
naliothbogey-: are you alright?20:10
bogey-I have20:11
bogey-and I will do the test me, and it will pass me right along20:11
bogey-however, it is broked, and teh internets are wrong.20:11
bogey-It will not fix my problem though20:11
Mezbogey-, I havent seen you do a test request?20:11
bogey-Mez: correct20:12
Mezbogey-, then ask it to test you, and it will let you back in.20:12
bogey-Mez: but i assure you i have done the test at least 15 times in the last month20:12
Meztry it now20:12
PriceChildFunny, it worked first time.20:13
bogey-and once again it works20:13
bogey-However, in the next day or so I will be redirected right back there20:13
Mezbogey-, only if you are exploited again20:13
bogey-Incorrect.20:14
Mezthough, to be fair, there's a ban in place in #ubuntu on you anyway?20:14
bogey-negative20:14
Mez* Bans matching bogey-!n=bogeyd6@adsl-68-249-53-78.dsl.ipltin.ameritech.net (bogey)20:14
PriceChildbogey-: so make sure that you have read the document in -read-topic to ensure that it doesn't become a problem again20:14
bogey-I have completed the steps20:14
PriceChildMez: is tehre anything above that?20:14
PriceChildMez: because if there isn't, then there isn't a ban.20:14
MezPriceChild, ah... ok,20:14
Mezhehe - damned script :P20:14
bogey-I connect to port 800120:15
PriceChildbogey-: have you ensured that is changed permenantly in your client config?20:15
bogey-yessuh20:15
bogey-[15:14] * Connecting to irc.freenode.net (8001)20:15
PriceChildno20:15
PriceChildin your client configuration file20:15
Picibogey-: Do you by chance connect to freenode on two different computers?20:16
bogey-In Mirc the only change I can make is to edit the servers.ini file, which I have done. No, I only use it on one computer.20:16
bogey-Let me disconnect and reconnect and see what happens20:16
PiciI see records of both n=bogeyd6@c-98-212-45-199.hsd1.in.comcast.net and n=bogeyd6@adsl-68-249-53-78.dsl.ipltin.ameritech.net20:16
Piciin my logs.20:17
PriceChildthere's also 'bogey_' caught20:17
PiciYeop, same ident.20:17
bogey-Ok, so i cannot duplicate immediately.20:17
PiciBogey-: I see records of both n=bogeyd6@c-98-212-45-199.hsd1.in.comcast.net and n=bogeyd6@adsl-68-249-53-78.dsl.ipltin.ameritech.net20:17
bogey-You mean connected right now?20:18
bogey-Comcast is through my home internets. Ameritech.net is my private internets.20:18
PiciNo, I mean on 7/31 you were on comcast, today on ameritech20:18
PiciFrom the same computer?20:18
bogey-Yeah, my laptop.20:19
PiciOdd.20:19
bogey-Ok well make a mental note. On the next time I come through we can visit this issue again20:20
bazhangsomeone named emu_hurricane is apparently spamming joins to ubuntu20:20
jpdsWhat did he want exactly?20:21
bazhangrickey tick20:21
PiciFor us to explain why he keeps getting blacklisted by the floodbots20:21
PiciAlso, whats up with pCrack in #ubuntu, my lastlog shows a few weird messages20:21
PriceChildan 0800 number just called me... :/20:22
Pici0800?20:22
PriceChildhttp://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/0800197608820:23
PriceChildthat's an evil little trick20:23
PriceChildPici: 0800 is a freephone number, which is odd, because you normally phone them.20:24
PiciPriceChild: Ah, so similar to 1-800 numbers here in the US, I guess.20:24

smallfoot-my flash has fuzzy dots on it, i cant watch porno21:39
smallfoot-whenever i use rhythmbox or totem-plugin my disks make strange noises and i cant watch porno or listen to music (listen in totem works fine though)21:40
smallfoot-Hello all kind people in this room, I have a gentle polite humble little tiny request...21:40
smallfoot-I come from land far far away.. I have travelled far on this journey to reach this destination, I would like to ask you to unban me from the #ubuntu, #ubuntu+1, and #ubuntu-offtopic realms so my journey has not been in vain.21:41
* smallfoot- removes shoes and bows21:41
* smallfoot- brings gifts from a land far far away...21:41
Flannelsmallfoot-: You don't need the theatrics, but your original entrace certainly was not going to get it accomplished.21:42
smallfoot-oh21:42
ompaulsmallfoot-, you have never approached this channel correctly, you have no hope of having that ban lifted at the moment as you seem to fail to understand that we don't work that way, you have been given clued21:42
ompaulclues21:42
ompaul!guidelines21:42
ubottuThe guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines21:42
ompaulgo read them21:42
ompaulwhen you work out what we are likely to respond positively to I suggest you return21:43
smallfoot-Please some some kindness and mercy to this soul in your darkened blackened stone cold heart!21:43
smallfoot-I do not ask for the world, just for permission to enter the realms from which I have been banned from.21:43
ompaulno21:44
ompaulin a word, no21:44
ompaulgo away and read and read the guidelines21:44
smallfoot-For an eternity I have been banished from the realms and suffered in agony in my loneliness, for how much longer will I have to suffer?21:44
ompaulcome back tomorrow, correctly21:44
naliothattitude is everything, smallfoot-21:45
smallfoot-I come not with bots, or floods nor insults, or begging for ops, just a humble request to be unbannished from the realms...21:45
ompaulsmallfoot-, read the guidelines, all else is an effort in futility, as you may have gathered21:45
* Myrtti considers tea21:46
smallfoot-The guidelines I will read,21:46
smallfoot-while I suffer from my deeds.21:46
smallfoot-Unbannishment is my needs21:47

stdinthe bot is not stupid, the module that thinks all times are in UTC is...22:27
naliothMyrtti: if you don't tell it @now CDT it'll return UTC by default22:28
naliothor w/e your time zone is22:28
Mezstdin, it should read the system time, which should be in UTC22:28
FlannelMez: but isn't always.22:29
Mezbut SHOULD be...22:29
stdinMez: no, times from the ical22:29
Mez?22:30
FlannelWait... CC meeting is happening currently?22:33
FlannelNot in half an hour?22:33
Mezyes22:33
stdinMez: when the ical has "DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20080715T160000" it only parses the 20080715T160000 part and gives it UTC as the time zone22:33
FlannelMez: So... what happened to 22 UTC?22:33
MezFlannel, 21UTC22:33
Mezbot is wrong22:33
FlannelMmmmm.  topic is wrong you mean.22:33
stdinit was 22:00 Europe/London, not UTC22:33
stdinFlannel: the bot handles the topic22:33
Flannelsince, someone should manually feeex it22:33
Flannelstdin: If bot is incorrect, it should be relinquished of its duties, and dismembered and derezzed.22:34
FlannelSo... How far along are we then?22:34
stdinor... I should just fix it22:34
Mezup to uI22:34
FlannelGah.  Freaking missed half of the important things at the meeting.22:34

jpdsFlannel: They update hourly.22:39
jpdsAt the o'clock IIRC.22:39
Flanneljpds: yeah, but when you come in halfway to a CC meeting, that's just not good enough.22:39

Myrttihe's been forwarded here because of his awaynick, if I remember correctly23:32
FlannelHe's forwarded here. See the comments23:32
Mez!afknick | gardar23:32
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about afknick23:32
naliothand he refuses to change the problematic setting.23:32
Mez!afk | gardar23:32
ubottugardar: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.  See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines»23:32
Mez!awaynick is <alias> away23:33
ubottuIn #ubuntu-ops, Mez said: !awaynick is <alias> away23:33

ubottuFactoid 'aff' does not exist23:33

ubottuI'll remember that, Mez23:33
nalioth i say he just gets a regular ban.  why should he be allowed to idle in here, because he won't change his ways?23:33
Flannelfeel free to elevate it.  I just wanted him out of #ubuntu permanently23:34
Mez:O23:34
Flannelor, until he fixed, of course.23:34
Mezhe must need one if nal's reccomending it23:34
FlannelHe does it in a number of *nix specific channels doing it, wreaking havoc on like 6 channels.23:35
FlannelAnd as far as #ubuntu was concerned, he'd never talk either.  Which was odd.23:35
naliothi don't think the banforward is necessary.  he doesn't seem to be interested in changing his behaviour23:36
ompaulgardar, you got this whole thing going on where you use 'afk23:37
ompaulare you going to cease it?23:37
ompaulI'll take that as a no then23:37
Flannelnalioth: at the time he seemed interested, but I wanted to make it a more vested interest on his part.23:38
gardarsorry guys haven't had the time for it yet23:38
gardari'm really busy with work23:38
ompaulwell you are banned from #unbuntu23:39
