| * jussi01 terrorizes Myrtti... | 09:26 | |
| Myrtti | You do. | 09:26 |
| jussi01 | heheh | 09:27 |
| Myrtti | Ill try my Wake on lan php script... Dumdidum | 09:28 |

| jussi01 | kk | 09:37 |
| jussi01 | heh... | 09:37 |
| ompaul | ohh the bot is not reflecting the !no x is <reply> material to this channel | 09:38 |
| ompaul | aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh | 09:38 |
| ompaul | !no twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings | 09:38 |

| ubottu | In ubottu, stdin_ said: !no test is <reply> ompaul, this works now | 10:10 |
| elky | @whoami | 10:11 |
| * elky pokes ubottu | 10:11 | |
| stdin | use @login | 10:12 |
| elky | @login | 10:12 |
| ubottu | elky: Error: Your hostmask doesn't match or your password is wrong. | 10:12 |
| elky | o.O | 10:12 |
| stdin | umm, k | 10:12 |
| elky | i am identified according to my client | 10:12 |
| ompaul | !test | 10:12 |
| ubottu | sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. | 10:12 |
| ompaul | stdin, :) thanks | 10:13 |
| elky | this might be why | 10:13 |
| === elky is now known as elkbuntu | ||
| stdin | I added a hostmask for you anyway | 10:14 |
| elkbuntu | stupid -read-topic needing me to be opped to change my nick | 10:14 |
| elkbuntu | @login | 10:15 |
| ubottu | elkbuntu: The operation succeeded. | 10:15 |
| ubottu | elkbuntu: The operation succeeded. | 10:15 |
| elkbuntu | yay@ | 10:15 |
| elkbuntu | o.O | 10:15 |
| elkbuntu | oookay | 10:15 |
| stdin | elky is not set as an IRC nick used on freenode, so I'd guess that's why it's not in the user database | 10:15 |
| stdin | (set on your LP page) | 10:16 |
| elkbuntu | ah | 10:16 |
| elkbuntu | yeah... i probably need to update that | 10:16 |
| stdin | it will be important, especially when I update the login stuff | 10:16 |
| stdin | it will search for your nick and associate that with your LP login. and that will be your user-name for the bot | 10:17 |
| stdin | so when elky does @whoami, it'd say "elky: melissa" | 10:17 |
| elkbuntu | there, elky an elkeee added | 10:24 |
| ompaul | elkbuntu, s/probably/actually/ | 12:23 |
| ompaul | argh I want a new sinus system | 12:24 |

| Myrtti | I confess nothing. | 12:26 |
| PriceChild | Yay for extended 3 year warranty. | 12:35 |
| ompaul | PriceChild, unusual you would need to use one | 12:39 |
| ompaul | I hope your case matches their exclusion list | 12:39 |
| PriceChild | ompaul: 360s break if you cough in the wrong direction | 12:39 |
| ompaul | sorry - you know what I meant | 12:39 |
| ompaul | I hope your case matches their acceptable broken list | 12:40 |
| jussi01 | hihi | 12:40 |
| PriceChild | but their repair service is excellent, despite the fact that it is needed | 12:40 |
| ompaul | PriceChild, supporting the dark side | 12:40 |
| Myrtti | ompaul: but MS makes perfectly good *hardware* | 12:40 |
| PriceChild | ompaul: pfft xbox and xbox live are fantastic products IMO. | 12:40 |
| ompaul | both of you go away, you are depressing me | 12:40 |
| ompaul | :P | 12:40 |
| Myrtti | ompaul: I wish they'd make more hardware | 12:41 |
| PriceChild | There's a bit of a buzz going round at them stifling developers for arcade games, but yeh | 12:41 |
| ompaul | PriceChild, stifling - shafting | 12:41 |
| jussi01 | hrm... I wonder if I can salvage my xbox into anything like a workable pc... | 12:41 |
| ompaul | PriceChild, they are the enemy of progression | 12:41 |
| ompaul | they are the dark side | 12:41 |
| ompaul | they are etc | 12:41 |
| Myrtti | http://dy.fi/dgb <-- best product ever! | 12:42 |
| Myrtti | jussi01: you've had it modded I presume? | 12:42 |
| jussi01 | no | 12:42 |
| Myrtti | crying shame | 12:43 |
| Myrtti | xbox is the best ever media player if it's modded | 12:43 |
| ompaul | ohh dear and I thought you people loved freedom ;-) | 12:43 |
| ompaul | matthew garrett gave the wrong talk :) | 12:43 |
| ompaul | The laws of thermodynamics require that the total amount of energy saved by ACPI must be equal to the thermal output of Matthew Garrett's anger. | 12:44 |
| ompaul | Matthew Garrett's heartbeats are synchronizing NTP. | 12:44 |
| ompaul | build a bridge, get over it | 12:45 |
| jussi01 | ompaul: thexbox is from my pre-ubuntu days | 12:45 |
| Myrtti | ompaul: but you know what me and ex did with the xbox? | 12:45 |
| ompaul | jussi01, but then it should be modded :) | 12:45 |
| Myrtti | we modded it right away | 12:45 |
| Myrtti | and bought about 3 games to it while we had it | 12:45 |
| jussi01 | Myrtti: how tomod it? | 12:45 |
| Myrtti | used it mainly as dvd player and samba client | 12:45 |
| ompaul | and dvd players cost sub 100 euros | 12:46 |
| Myrtti | jussi01: officially I don't know how | 12:46 |
| ompaul | and samba clients .... | 12:46 |
| Myrtti | ompaul: not when we bought it | 12:46 |
| Myrtti | ompaul: I also played stepmania with it | 12:46 |
| Myrtti | and old snes games | 12:47 |
| ompaul | Jucato, I have no ideas but I found this while indexing the internet ;-) http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Contents | 12:47 |
| jussi01 | well Im off totown for a bit... laterz | 12:47 |
| ompaul | Matthew Garrett booted Linux on his toaster one morning, just for the hell of it. | 12:50 |
| ompaul | to offtopic for one great one | 12:51 |

| ompaul | no it says what is going to happen | 18:27 |
| ompaul | no debate | 18:27 |
| ompaul | don't discuss | 18:27 |
| ompaul | it is a rule not an option | 18:28 |
| jussi01 | sigh... | 18:29 |
| ikonia | everyone trying to pick a fight today | 18:37 |
| ikonia | in #ubuntu | 18:37 |
| bazhang | yup | 18:38 |
| ikonia | I'm going to explain this to him in a PM | 18:39 |
| ikonia | fed up now | 18:39 |
| bazhang | completely justified imo | 18:40 |
| ikonia | fed up of it | 18:40 |
| ikonia | what is going on | 18:41 |
| ikonia | are these two the same guy | 18:41 |
| ikonia | the other one is refusing to respond in pm | 18:41 |

| PriceChild | not quite what i meant | 18:43 |
| PriceChild | does he have any history? | 18:43 |
| ompaul | I think I unbanned them yesterday | 18:44 |

| jussi01 | oh. | 18:55 |
| jussi01 | I made a CV in OOo. printed to pdf, discarded odt. now I want to take the text from the pdf, but it copies ponly as a lot of mumbo jumbo... | 18:57 |

| jussi01 | let hope he has learnt his lesson. | 19:04 |
| ikonia | he doesn't contibute - just trolls enough | 19:05 |
| * jussi01 group hugs jpds and ikonia | 19:05 | |
| jussi01 | I think we are going to need a resident psychiatrist in here soon. :P | 19:06 |
| bazhang | hehe | 19:06 |
| ikonia | it's not fair on others | 19:06 |
| ikonia | he comes in and rants | 19:06 |
| jpds | ikonia: He does that on other channels too. | 19:06 |
| * jpds hugs jussi01 | 19:06 | |
| ompaul | and blogs about it | 19:06 |
| ikonia | I know | 19:06 |
| ikonia | enough though | 19:07 |
| ompaul | personally | 19:08 |
| jpds | He ought to actually do something, like me and others → https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-dev/ubuntu-dev-tools/trunk \o/ | 19:08 |
| ompaul | its four years on or thereabouts | 19:08 |
| ompaul | and I am tired | 19:08 |
| neuro_ | hello ppl | 19:08 |
| bazhang | hello neuro_ | 19:08 |
| neuro_ | i just wanted to explain my actions to you all | 19:09 |
| * Myrtti huggles neuro_ | 19:09 | |
| neuro_ | i don't believe my parting comment in #ubuntu was justified, so i apologise for that | 19:09 |
| neuro_ | i do, however believe, that ikonia's ban of a user who had already agreed to stop being off-topic, was not justified | 19:10 |
| neuro_ | and that's what wound me up | 19:10 |
| neuro_ | especially considering i drove an off-topic query back on topic within a minute or two | 19:11 |
| ikonia | neuro_: FYI: that user had a conversation in PM accepted politly he shouldn't have persisted with comments and went about his business | 19:11 |
| neuro_ | i'm unconcerned about what you discussed in private with someone | 19:11 |
| PriceChild | ikonia: does that nick have a history? | 19:11 |
| ikonia | which one | 19:12 |
| neuro_ | i'm concerned about what happened in that public channel | 19:12 |
| PriceChild | ikonia: limcore i think? | 19:12 |
| ikonia | PriceChild: BIG TIME | 19:12 |
| ikonia | PriceChild: please see BT | 19:12 |
| PriceChild | @btlogin | 19:12 |
| neuro_ | and i agree that you have to try and drive discussions on topic in #ubuntu, but you need to do it with a softer touch IMO | 19:12 |
| neuro_ | blatting people over the head, especially with a ban hammer, is not polite | 19:12 |
| neuro_ | or conducive to retaining new users (or existing ones for that matter) | 19:13 |
| ikonia | neuro_: the user was asked to stop 3 times by 2 different people | 19:13 |
| ikonia | having the final word then saying "ok it's done" is not acceptable | 19:13 |
| ikonia | he should have stopped 3 comments ago | 19:13 |
| ikonia | not finished his rant then decided it was done | 19:13 |
| neuro_ | and you decided a ban was justifiable under those circumstances? | 19:13 |
| ikonia | no I quitenend him to stop the conversation going on and disucssed it in private with him | 19:14 |
| neuro_ | and they actually said "ok, done", not "ok, it's done" | 19:14 |
| PriceChild | I don't think bans should be used "to make a point". | 19:14 |
| ikonia | which he was very aminable | 19:14 |
| ikonia | PriceChild: it was not used to make a point | 19:14 |
| neuro_ | done as in when someone asks you to do something | 19:14 |
| neuro_ | "put that away" "done" | 19:14 |
| neuro_ | i think you misunderstood his response, and you overreacted | 19:14 |
| ikonia | no I didn't | 19:14 |
| ikonia | and neither did the other person who asked him to stop | 19:15 |
| Myrtti | hmmm | 19:15 |
| Myrtti | let's take a deep breath | 19:15 |
| * neuro_ can't take deep breaths | 19:15 | |
| neuro_ | smoker, poor lung capacity | 19:15 |
| Myrtti | tsk. | 19:16 |
| Myrtti | anyway | 19:16 |
| neuro_ | anyway | 19:16 |
| ikonia | neuro_: I genuinly see your point, and to some extent take on board what your saying, feedback is always welcome, but I believe putting an end to the discussion and talking to the user in private was the correct thing to do | 19:16 |
| neuro_ | i've explained my actions, i've made a request, i hope you take it under the appropriate level of advisement | 19:16 |
| neuro_ | ikonia: i believe your "putting an end to the discussion" before discussing it in private with the user was an overreaction | 19:17 |
| neuro_ | so we shall differ on that point | 19:17 |
| neuro_ | i don't wish to beat that point to death :) | 19:17 |
| ikonia | I appriciate that, | 19:17 |
| Myrtti | I find it refreshing that we have adult visitors in this channel | 19:17 |
| neuro_ | i'm not trying to argue on and on or make you lot change in a heartbeat | 19:17 |
| bazhang | yes | 19:17 |
| Myrtti | neuro_: thank you for restoring my faith in humanity | 19:18 |
| ikonia | neuro_: no one things you are, no offense is taken | 19:18 |
| neuro_ | Myrtti: if i was smoking menthols, i'd have that refreshing minty taste too | 19:18 |
| ikonia | as I said feedback is always welcome | 19:18 |
| Myrtti | oooo | 19:18 |
| neuro_ | ikonia: ok | 19:18 |
| neuro_ | now, i need to go beat ompaul over the head for calling me "small", so i'll not take up any more of your time | 19:18 |
| neuro_ | thanks all :) | 19:18 |
| * Myrtti giggles | 19:19 | |
| Myrtti | ROFL | 19:19 |
| Myrtti | ompaul really called him small | 19:19 |
| Myrtti | ?? | 19:19 |
| Myrtti | oy | 19:19 |
| Myrtti | funny | 19:19 |
| bazhang | limcore is in PM now? | 19:21 |
| jussi01 | someone jump into -ot? | 19:23 |
| Myrtti | what's there | 19:24 |
| ikonia | yes, I have limcore in pm | 19:25 |
| jussi01 | meh, over now. | 19:25 |
| jussi01 | common sense prevailed. | 19:26 |
| bazhang | for the moment | 19:26 |
| ikonia | can someone look at #ubuntu-fai | 19:29 |
| ikonia | #ubuntu-fail | 19:29 |
| ikonia | limcore has made an official channel #ubuntu-fail | 19:29 |
| ikonia | is that known about ? | 19:29 |
| ikonia | I can't look now as I'm talking to him | 19:29 |
| Myrtti | official channel? | 19:29 |
| bazhang | Im there | 19:30 |
| Myrtti | how the hell can something like that be an official channel? | 19:30 |
| ikonia | could someone look into it and deal with it appropriatly ? | 19:30 |
| stdin | staff need to close it for us | 19:30 |
| ikonia | I'm just getting more info on everything but as you can imagine he's alittl bit of a handful | 19:30 |
| PriceChild | I'll get it sorted, we can move on. | 19:30 |
| ikonia | thanks | 19:30 |
| bazhang | understatement of the epoch | 19:31 |
| PriceChild | No need to be there | 19:31 |
| PriceChild | Lets watch our triggers and just help channels run smothly. | 19:31 |
| LimCore | yes, Im here nalioth | 19:31 |
| LimCore | nalioth: I thought you invited me here? or not | 19:34 |
| nalioth | LimCore: here is where you can ask about creating unauthorized Ubuntu channels | 19:34 |
| LimCore | I was not avare about no need to ask before creating any channel on freenode | 19:35 |
| LimCore | you mean that all #ubuntu* channels are protected? | 19:35 |
| nalioth | freenode isn't like other networks. Our channel naming guidelines can be found here: http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#channelnaming LimCore | 19:36 |
| nalioth | Freenode isn't like other networks. Our channel guidelines can be found here: http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml LimCore | 19:36 |
| LimCore | ok I read this again, but Im not sure | 19:39 |
| LimCore | so, is one free to create any ##ubuntu* (about) channel or not? | 19:39 |
| nalioth | if you create a channel for trolling, no. | 19:42 |
| * LimCore looks at #politics | 19:43 | |
| LimCore | nalioth: one can not create own, about, channel, in which he talk anything he wants to who ever chooses to join his channel? How is that freedom of speach>? | 19:44 |
| nalioth | LimCore: #politics does not exist | 19:45 |
| LimCore | deletion of #politics is very recent, I was not aware about ti | 19:45 |
| nalioth | we are not here for 'free speech', we are here for the advancement of FLOSS software through communication | 19:45 |
| LimCore | including ##windows ? | 19:48 |
| LimCore | I will be happy to obey this rules on your server :) However, I dont apparently undestand their consistency in some places like this | 19:49 |
| nalioth | there are thousands of OSL windows programs | 19:49 |
| nalioth | open software license | 19:49 |
| LimCore | thousands of OSL programs fail to work as exepected by their users. Where people can vent and talk about this? ##ubuntu is support, -bugs is technical | 19:51 |
| LimCore | (btw, I still dont see how ##politics is related to supporting FLOSS. not that I'm complaining, just curious) | 19:51 |
| nalioth | ##ubuntu doesn't exist. #ubuntu-offtopic is for general discussion relating to Ubuntu | 19:52 |
| nalioth | ##politics is the toilet that keeps the trolls happy | 19:52 |
| LimCore | yes I ment #ubuntu not ##ubuntu | 19:52 |
| LimCore | you do not want to have a channel where people can express their unhapinness related to some software right? | 19:53 |
| nalioth | #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:53 |
| PriceChild | LimCore: you seem to have a history | 19:55 |
| Myrtti | I rant about yast2 and SuSE and evolution-exchange on #ubuntu-offtopic on regular basis | 19:55 |
| Myrtti | I'd go cr... oh wait, I am already, nevermind, carry on. | 19:55 |
| LimCore | PriceChild: you seem to have 10 characters in nick | 19:56 |
| PriceChild | LimCore: now there are constructive and polite ways to say "this is rubbish, do something about it", and then there's whining and creating silly channels | 19:56 |
| LimCore | I bet at least some of you thought that name was funny | 19:56 |
| PriceChild | LimCore: maybe the first time | 19:57 |
| LimCore | nalioth: oh ok. thanks | 19:57 |
| LimCore | if one would want to create say #ubuntu-games - channel about games on Unbut, what is needed? | 19:59 |
| LimCore | like, he needs any legal affilation or something, or not | 19:59 |
| PriceChild | a purpose or need for the channel would be a good start | 19:59 |
| LimCore | so one is NOT free to create it right? ok | 20:00 |
| LimCore | and same for ##ubuntu-games ? | 20:00 |
| PriceChild | Oh you're free to create it the single #... but we would rather you didn't unless you actually have a reason. | 20:01 |
| LimCore | if I want it to be mine channel, not mining anyones approval or lack of it, then is ## a place for it, or also no? | 20:01 |
| LimCore | *minding | 20:02 |
| PriceChild | LimCore: are you creating it for the hell of it still? | 20:03 |
| PriceChild | Because really... what's the point?! | 20:03 |
| LimCore | well, this was the question :) What should be a validation to be able to create a channel | 20:04 |
| LimCore | I thought that anyone can create whatever channel (minus some #officiall names) just because he can | 20:04 |
| PriceChild | Yes you 'can'. But 'should' you? | 20:04 |
| LimCore | what is the servers owners view on this? | 20:05 |
| LimCore | like... they dont mind | 20:05 |
| PriceChild | I 'can' not stop for people at a pelican crossing, but I 'should'. | 20:05 |
| LimCore | or, they do mind, because it eats resources (I think it does not) etc | 20:05 |
| LimCore | ok, simply. You dont like #ubuntu-fail, I see it as #ubuntu* are reserved so ubuntu officials decide, ok. What about 1) ##ubuntu-fail 2) ##ubuntu-mybugs (nicer name) 3) ##guhevefd43 (useless channel created just because). Creatinon of which of thoes channels are considred to be more or less "bad" thing to do here? | 20:07 |
| PriceChild | What is the point in any of them? | 20:07 |
| LimCore | 1) would be rating about bugs, 2) as well but nicer name, and 3) would be used by two people that talk about oprivate stuff | 20:08 |
| nalioth | why not make ##limcores-playground and do as you wish ( bar trolling, of course ) | 20:09 |
| ikonia | instead of ranting about bugs, you can contirbute to them, post updates to the bugs, assist in the fixes (if possible) | 20:09 |
| ikonia | channel energry in a better direction | 20:09 |
| LimCore | nalioth: what do you mean by "bar trolling" | 20:09 |
| nalioth | 1218393584 13:39 < LimCore> so, is one free to create any ##ubuntu* (about) channel or not? +robotgeek | 20:10 |
| nalioth | 1218393776 13:42 <+nalioth> if you create a channel for trolling, no. | 20:10 |
| nalioth | trolling is off topic on freenode | 20:10 |
| LimCore | "bar trolling" == "but drop the trolling" ? | 20:11 |
| stdin | "bar trolling" means "except trolling" | 20:11 |
| LimCore | (btw, I do not agree that all facts with added personal opionions, or not generally accepted views, even aimed to rise a bit interest, should be called "trolling") | 20:12 |
| nalioth | LimCore: anything else we can help you with? | 20:16 |
| LimCore | well no, you invited me here :) | 20:19 |
| LimCore | bye | 20:19 |

| Myrtti | no probs | 21:53 |
| Breatheeasy | how did i get myself banned? | 21:53 |
| Myrtti | you did nothing | 21:53 |
| Myrtti | it was a ban placed on the realname you were using | 21:53 |
| Breatheeasy | ah | 21:54 |
| Breatheeasy | so somebody else did something wrong with my name? | 21:54 |
| Myrtti | basically yes | 21:54 |
| Flannel | Breatheeasy: Well, someone else who has the same name as you. Daniel F | 21:54 |

| elkbuntu | what is the link? | 21:56 |
| Tallken | hello, is this your thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?f...oster&t=707988. Thanks ::::: But the "http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?f...oster&t=707988" actually links to htt p :/ / w w w .p reownedwatches.us | 21:57 |

| elkbuntu | what is the ... replacing? | 22:02 |
| elkbuntu | Tallken? | 22:03 |
| * elkbuntu cannot replicate with what you've given | 22:06 | |
| Tallken | elkbuntu, what? | 22:18 |
| Tallken | elkbuntu, don't understand | 22:18 |
| elkbuntu | Tallken, is http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?f...oster&t=707988 the full, unadulterated url? | 22:18 |
| elkbuntu | as in, were the ... between the f and the o always there, or did you add them or replace something with them | 22:19 |
| Tallken | elkbuntu, I received one private message on the forums, from "myfriends"; its title was: "Hi"; its body was: "hello, is this your thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?f...oster&t=707988. Thanks" . But in fact, "http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?f...oster&t=707988" linked to "http://www.preownedwatches.us/" | 22:20 |
| elkbuntu | right. i'm not getting that behaviour | 22:20 |
| PriceChild | Tallken: on ubuntuforums.org, not #ubuntuforums? | 22:21 |
| Tallken | ya | 22:21 |
| Pici | elkbuntu: I think Tallken means: <a href="boguspage>ubuntuforums</a> | 22:21 |
| Pici | or written correctly. | 22:21 |
| elkbuntu | why are we getting reports about ubuntuforums stuff? | 22:21 |
| elkbuntu | ugh... i should have left for work already | 22:22 |
| Tallken | rofl sorry elkbuntu | 22:22 |
| Tallken | thought you'd like to know there is a bot in the forums | 22:22 |
| PriceChild | Tallken: please forward a copy to me on the forums, "PriceChild". | 22:22 |
| PriceChild | Tallken: this channel deals only with irc. In future, reports should go in #ubuntuforums, or in forum feedback and help, or in a pm to a mod | 22:22 |
| Tallken | PriceChild, done | 22:22 |
| Pici | Tallken: #ubuntu-ops only control Ubuntu's IRC presence, not the forums. Although some of the ops are also moderators. | 22:22 |
| Tallken | PriceChild, Pici , thanks for the information :) | 22:23 |
| * Myrtti goes to check her post count again | 22:23 | |
