FlannelAnyone have a bot they can throw into #ubuntu?02:48
naliothwhere is ubottu ?03:00
Flanneldied ... 4 hours ago03:00
Flannel15:06 -!- ubottu [n=supybot@ubuntu/bot/ubottu] has quit [Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)]03:01
FlannelIt's now 19:0103:01
Flannel(in my world)03:01
jribI have a bot with working encyclopedia.  I haven't done more than that, so I don't know how to make it shutup when someone gives it a supybot command (starts with -)03:09
FlannelHmmm.  nalioth, bot seems to be unresponsive in #ubuntu03:13
naliothFlannel: check for quiets and such03:16
naliothyep, nobody ever listens03:17
naliothREMOVE THE BOTS WHEN UBOTTU RETURNS03:17
naliothDO NOT QUIET THEM03:17
FlannelThanks nalioth03:18
jribnight03:26
_Zeus_what happened to the bot?04:20
Flannel_Zeus_: Which one?04:21
_Zeus_ubottu?04:22
_Zeus_is there a new bot, ubot3?04:25
Flannel_Zeus_: standing in while ubottu is on vacation04:26
nalioth_Zeus_: nope04:26
naliothubot3 has been here longer than ubottu04:26
ubot3nalioth: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)04:26
naliothubot3: botsnack04:26
ubot3Yum! Err, I mean, APT!04:26
_Zeus_so...... ubottu is broken, i take it04:26
_Zeus_ubot3 has the same data?04:26
ubot3_Zeus_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)04:26
nalioth_Zeus_: it wouldn't be logical to stick ubot3 in #ubuntu if it didn't04:27
_Zeus_so, why is there no bot in #ubuntu-offtopic?04:27
nalioththere is no bot needed in -offtopic04:27
_Zeus_language...04:28
naliothhmmm, i'd not go that far, _Zeus_ 04:29
_Zeus_huh?  i don't get it04:29
Flannel_Zeus_: havnig a bot in -offtopic isn't a necessity04:29
nalioth_Zeus_: you just called all the ops lazy and good for nothing but to call the bot (and all the other poeple who'd call !language)04:30
_Zeus_umm.... i didn;t04:30
_Zeus_whatever, i'll go now :P04:30
nalioth_Zeus_: then i didn't understand this > 1222054120 22:28 < _Zeus_> language...04:31
Flannelnalioth: I don't think he did, he was just giving an example of where a bot would be convenient (although typing it out isn't the end of the world)04:31
_Zeus_Flannel is exactly right04:32
_Zeus_bye04:32

go_beep_yourselfis there a command to restore all my permissions/owners to default?14:45
ikoniago_beep_yourself: this is not a support channel14:48
ikonia@btlogin14:48
ikoniago_beep_yourself: it seems you've been removed from this channel on multiple occasions, why are you here14:49
Piciikonia: looks like you set a banforward14:49
ikoniaahhh 14:49
ikoniaI see it14:49
ikoniathank you14:49
ikoniahe was under a different nick14:50
go_beep_yourselfthen get me back in the support channel14:50
ikoniago_beep_yourself: you where logged in as dmesg14:50
ikoniago_beep_yourself: does that username mean anything to you ?14:50
ikoniaor moo_cow14:51
go_beep_yourselfgreat, my gf messed up her computer with some ubuntuforum commands and now i gotta figure out what she did14:51
ikoniago_beep_yourself: could you please answer my questions14:51
go_beep_yourselfmoo_cow is my old nick14:51
ikoniayes, and as I recall (and looking at the logs) I asked you to remove a simple away script and you started causing issues14:52
ikoniayou also sent me private messages which where rude about it as I recall14:52
go_beep_yourselfi think it was an xchat feature, cant remember14:52
ikoniago_beep_yourself: could you give me a moment please to check something14:53
go_beep_yourselfsure14:54
ikoniajust checking my logs and you where rude to me when I asked you to remove the away script14:55
ikoniaand informed me you would ignore me14:55
ikoniadoes any of that ring any bells ?14:55
ikoniayou then started flooding multiple channels with away messages on purpose14:55
ikoniadoes any of that ring any bells ?14:56
go_beep_yourselfi may have been rude. i dont remember what we talked about.14:57
ikoniaso with that in mind why should you be allowed back into #ubuntu support channels with polite people, after you flooding the channel, flooding this channel and where isnulting? 14:57
ikoniainsulting either ?14:57
go_beep_yourselfim not going to kiss your ass. im going to use a proxy server on a friends computer and login, so go ahead and kick me out jackass.14:58
ikoniaas I suspected, this was the attitude form you earlier under your other nicks14:59
go_beep_yourselfwhen you treat people like dirt, thats what you get14:59
ikoniago_beep_yourself: you won't be allowed back into ubuntu at this time until you can learn to participate in a channel without insults/rude/threads14:59
ikoniago_beep_yourself: no-one treated you like dirty14:59
ikoniadirt even14:59

ikoniawell it's nice to know we'll be looking for a user trying to reset his permissions back to default in #ubuntu shortly :)15:04
PiciCheck the ident, I have a feeling it will be the same.15:04
ikoniayup15:04
ikoniaI'd forgot about that user to be honest, he's been a real pain in loads of channels15:05

PiciTm_T: /mode +d somename15:44
Tm_Tbazhang: sowwy, I don't use that15:44
bazhangthat sets every ban known to humankind15:44
Tm_TPici: thanks15:44
Tm_Tthough, maybe we need networkwide ban for those spammers...15:45
Pici/cs l is a stupid command imo15:45
bazhangso moo_cow is dmesg of 'audit' fame?15:45
Tm_TI talk about "PennergameUser" realname this time15:45
PiciI thought I banned that15:45
Tm_TPici: from whole network?15:46
PiciTm_T: no, just from #ubuntu15:46
Tm_Twell that doesn't help me15:46
PiciI'm not a staffer15:46
Tm_Tbut that's a good start (:)15:46
MyrttiTm_T: +d15:54
Myrttimay I cry a bit?15:55
MyrttiI went to the local computer junk store today15:55
PiciOnly if you have a good reason15:55
Myrttiwasted three hours15:55
Tm_Tawww15:55
Myrttibought linux magazine for 11€15:55
Myrttiyes, 11€15:55
PiciYikes15:55
Myrttialso, bought a shower curtain and a bathroom rug, and kitchen towels.15:55
Myrttiwhat I also bought, was 160GB hard drive for my laptop15:56
Tm_Tfrom computer junk store?15:56
PiciAll of that at the computer junk store?15:56
Myrttinow I'm sitting here with the laptop in pieces in front of me15:56
Tm_TPici: exactly15:56
PiciTm_T: darn, I'm too slow15:56
Myrttiand it looks like... I should've looked at the specs of the old one better before I left.15:56
Tm_Tawww, wrong type?15:56
MyrttiI've got on my other hand an old Hitachi SATA 80GB, and on the other Seagate PATA 160GB.15:57
Myrttithe nice thing is15:57
Myrttithe only SATA laptop harddrive at the computer junk store15:57
Myrttiis 320GB and it costs 15:57
Tm_Ttrue15:57
Myrttifive times more than the 80GB harddrive I planned to buy, but was forced to take bigger one, because they had lost what I wanted.15:58
MyrttiI need 80GB, even less.15:58
MyrttiWHAT THE HELL DO I DO WITH 160 or even 320GB of HARDDRIVE?!15:59
MyrttiI'm not male, so no, the answer is not "download more porn"15:59
Myrttias someone already suggested.15:59
Myrtti;______;15:59
* Myrtti puts the semibroken 80GB hard drive back in and cries16:00
stdinumm, make a media server?16:00
Myrttiand which hard drive would I put in that?16:00
Myrttioh - and have I told you I don't have tv?16:01
stdinyou don't need a tv, just a tuner ;)16:02
PiciHow about a local repository mirror/apt-proxy16:02
MyrttiI gave mine to jussi01 16:02
stdinI've never been brave enough to attempt to make a media server, so what do I know...16:02
Myrttibut why?16:02
MyrttiI don't have such a hard drive16:02
Myrttithe hard drive I need would go into my laptop16:02
Myrttithis sucks on a royal scale16:03
* bazhang wonders if chrizc is federerroger16:36
Jack_Sparrowtroling either way16:38
Jack_Sparrowthis has gone on way too long and has no solution16:38
bazhangaye16:38
Tm_TI would love to get new PC16:38
Tm_Tsystem slowing down badly when starting Kontact isn't acceptable anymore16:43
Tm_Tso what if I already am compiling KDE4 in background16:44
jribheh16:44
bazhanghaha16:44
Tm_Tbecause Kontact is only application slowing my system down, really16:45
jribhaven't you heard about webmail?16:45
Tm_Tjrib: with soe, uhm, 60 000 mails?16:45
Tm_Tand 4 different sources16:45
Tm_T+ google mail webpages aren't working with Konqueror well16:46
jribI have 150000+ mails in my gmail16:46
Tm_Tye16:46
jribwhat's "soe"?16:46
Tm_Tsome16:46
Tm_TI have removed 100 000 mails last january or so16:47
Tm_Tif I don't remember wrong16:47
jribhow does mutt handle 60000 mails?16:47
Tm_Tno idea, I use alpine sometimes, it's bit sucky at times16:48
Tm_Tanyway, problem is not wrong applications, but my PC isn't following me on my tasks16:49
jribTm_T: specs?16:49
Tm_Tor maybe I should stop following ML:s and compiling KDE416:49
Tm_Tjrib: how precise specs you like to get?16:50
jribjust curious about ram and processor16:51
Tm_Thttp://www.tm-travolta.net/tekstit/lshw.txt16:52
Tm_Tso 2800+ AMD Athlon with 2x512 DDR116:53
Tm_Tit's not rare to me to have loads over 10 and swap in 1 G or more16:53
Tm_Tund, I have vm.swappiness = 1516:57
Tm_Tjrib: hot specs, isn't it17:03
jdongjrib: how well mutt handles large number of mails depends primarily on how fast your filesystem combs through those little files17:11
jdong(don't use mutt on networked mailboxes like IMAP -- network activity is blocking to the UI)17:11
jdongmake sure to enable header caching though17:12
Tm_Theh17:12
jdongwith header caching and local maildirs on ext3 or UFS, it takes about 0.5-1s to open up a mailbox of 50,000 LP e-mails.17:12
Tm_TI need some calendar solution17:17
MyrttiHohum18:04
MyrttiYou folks are boring18:21

PiciAt an antique shop18:22
jdongTm_T: you shouldn't listen to me, but I've been using a moinmoin wiki as a PIM18:24
PiciI did that once... but it was with something better than moinmoin18:24
PiciCouldn't have been that great though, I have no idea what I did with it.18:25

ompaulthis may or may not be accurate - however you have to work with people, this means writing clearly on one line what the problem is20:39
ompaulLinuxGhost, if you fail to work with them as they would wish you to, you will find they won't work with you at all20:39
LinuxGhostJACK, i only have ubuntu 7.10 but im using 8.04.20:41
ompaulLinuxGhost, that is not the situation you want to be in, so remember if there is a way out and you can find it with others, you will do so a lot easier, if you use full sentences, and put in information out for helpers in a useful way, but if you rant at them they won't participate ;-) so always stay calk20:41
