| ubottu | In #ubuntu, scientesss said: !uuid is needs method of looking up uuid of drives | 01:10 |
| PriceChild | !uuid | 01:13 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 01:13 |
| PriceChild | but but... | 01:13 |
| nalioth | ter ter . . . | 01:13 |
| PriceChild | it has a method of looking them up already? | 01:14 |
| Flannel | PriceChild: sudo blkid... yeah, been around since edgy or so | 01:27 |
| nickrud_ | ls /dev/disk/by-* is nice too | 01:28 |
| nalioth | nickrud_! where's your brother nickrud? | 01:31 |
| nickrud_ | he's been disconnected by the remote host and is sulking | 01:31 |
| nalioth | ah | 01:31 |
| LjL | nickrud_: no, by the peer | 01:31 |
| nalioth | so go sic a ghost on 'im | 01:32 |
| === nickrud_ is now known as nickrud | ||
| nickrud | heh. been away for a while, some new names to the right | 01:34 |
| nalioth | they're all clones of ubottu, nickrud | 01:35 |
| nalioth | advance AI and all that stuff | 01:35 |
| nickrud | heh | 01:35 |
| nickrud | I'm sure they appreciate that identification ;) | 01:35 |
| ubot3 | It's cool to be a clone. | 01:36 |
| nickrud | It's amazing how much work I get done when I keep irc off | 01:36 |
| LjL | nickrud: but don't call them n00bs although that's accurate, they get offended | 01:36 |
| LjL | nickrud: that's so true. | 01:37 |
| nickrud | I wear that badge with pride. I hope never to lose my n00bness | 01:37 |
| PriceChild | bazhang: I'd move it to PM. | 01:40 |
| bazhang | bamboo has quit () | 01:41 |
| PriceChild | I noticed, he quit after I said the above. | 01:41 |
| PriceChild | Just noticed/remembered that open week is this monday btw. | 01:48 |
| WastePotato | Hi. | 01:53 |
| WastePotato | Did someone ban me from -offtopic again? | 01:53 |
| LjL | you as in your host, or you as in your mibbit address? | 01:54 |
| WastePotato | Mibbit. My bnc died. | 01:54 |
| LjL | yes it's banned | 01:54 |
| WastePotato | Is mibbit banned? | 01:54 |
| LjL | no, you are | 01:55 |
| WastePotato | Why? | 01:55 |
| LjL | ompaul, 13 september | 01:55 |
| LjL | i haven't got a clue | 01:55 |
| LjL | is that the same as your other old bans? | 01:55 |
| bazhang | were you using his name WastePotato | 01:55 |
| WastePotato | Hmm? | 01:55 |
| Flannel | LjL: Oct 6 | 01:55 |
| bazhang | seem to remember that being the case | 01:56 |
| LjL | Flannel: err no, sep 13 | 01:56 |
| LjL | bazhang, it was for ban evasion | 01:56 |
| bazhang | LjL, aha | 01:56 |
| Flannel | LjL: Um, that's a removal. Oct 6 is a ban | 01:56 |
| WastePotato | I'm so confused... | 01:56 |
| LjL | Flannel: no, check the banlist, it says sept 13 | 01:56 |
| LjL | WastePotato, it was a ban for ban evasion | 01:57 |
| Flannel | LjL: I'm checking the bantracker | 01:57 |
| * WastePotato sighs | 01:57 | |
| LjL | Flannel: don't. check the banlist. | 01:57 |
| LjL | WastePotato: don't start crying now | 01:57 |
| WastePotato | Nevermind... I'll wait until the BNC comes back on... | 01:57 |
| LjL | i've unbanned you | 01:57 |
| WastePotato | How did you know that I cry when people ban me from... | 01:58 |
| LjL | WastePotato: i have this seventh sense | 01:58 |
| WastePotato | xD | 01:58 |
| WastePotato | Right. Thanks, LjL | 01:58 |

| genii | If I am going away for a few days should I be letting someone here know? | 03:01 |
| nalioth | if you want to | 03:02 |
| genii | nalioth: I just figured it was the responible thing to do. I'm not going to be near a computer til Mon evening or Tues morning. So conceivably if there's some op shortage already someone who perhaps wouldn't be here might show up , etc. Or at least thats my convoluted thought process. | 03:04 |
| genii | Not that #kubuntu is a horror show which needs constant attention :) | 03:05 |

| genii | Hmm. Is there also !pastebinit ? | 03:06 |
| genii | nalioth: Is special rights needed to modify factoids? | 03:08 |
| nalioth | genii: not really | 03:16 |

| genii | Are #kubuntu ops perhaps only allowed to edit kubuntu-specific factoids or so? | 06:10 |
| Flannel | genii: I believe editing capabilities are editing capabilities. | 06:10 |
| genii | Flannel: OK, thanks. | 06:11 |
| genii | Flannel: Probably my syntax or something | 06:11 |

| genii | Sorry guys | 06:13 |

| elkbuntu | Gary, no, 'elks' i do | 10:27 |
| Gary | lol | 10:27 |
| elkbuntu | alongside 'elk' and 'elky' all are ways i get addressed reguarly | 10:27 |
| elkbuntu | also elx | 10:27 |
| elkbuntu | for the lazy people who cant be bothered typing 'elks' | 10:28 |
| Gary | i'll remember that | 10:28 |
| Gary | now what words have elx in them :p | 10:28 |
| elkbuntu | i dont know. eleaf tried to claim innocence by describing eating 'elk steak' and drinking 'elk juice' | 10:29 |
| elkbuntu | that latter one was ... um... i have no words for that. | 10:29 |
| Gary | interesting | 10:29 |
| Gary | thats the word | 10:29 |

| bazhang | woden1, what name were you using | 10:33 |
| elkbuntu | woden1, and when was that? | 10:34 |
| woden1 | I always use this name, woden or woden1. | 10:34 |
| woden1 | That was in June when I left for Iraq. I just installed 8.10 and I want to ask some questions. | 10:34 |
| elkbuntu | woden1, who shares your internet connection? | 10:35 |
| woden1 | My entire family does. | 10:35 |
| woden1 | And I also have an access point | 10:36 |
| elkbuntu | woden1, who in your family goes by 'thunar' or 'thunar1'? | 10:36 |
| woden1 | Oh damn, that's me. | 10:37 |
| woden1 | Now I remember I got too drunk last night. I totally forgot | 10:37 |
| woden1 | Let me see I think I typed rm -rf / | 10:37 |
| woden1 | or somesuch | 10:37 |
| woden1 | now I remember, yea | 10:37 |
| elkbuntu | not quite, you told someone to dd random to their harddisk, and they almost did | 10:38 |

| === kinnaz is now known as ubot4 | ||
| ubot4 | better ? | 10:54 |

| ubot4 | if you want to be dick about it | 11:07 |
| ubot4 | i shall leave | 11:07 |
| elkbuntu | Gary, watch that one. came into -women and said 'yay ubuntu chicks' | 11:30 |
| elkbuntu | k2pp is what he's known as now | 11:30 |
| LjL | so does anyone actually know how the heck X is configured | 13:30 |
| * LjL wonders just what support he'll be able to give from now on, considering he isn't really going to install Intrepid | 13:31 | |
| jrib | LjL: /etc/hal/ | 13:34 |
| bazhang | systems >preferences > screen resolution seems to be the one LjL | 13:34 |
| LjL | bazhang: that's not very universal though, jrib probably is onto the real thing by the sound of it | 13:34 |
| bazhang | :( | 13:35 |
| jrib | I had to setup my touchpad, I just looked at /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi , read the hal spec, and created my onw in /etc/hal/ | 13:35 |
| LjL | jrib: wow, that's called making things easier compared to that crufty xorg.conf? ;P | 13:35 |
| jrib | it's ugly, editing xml in a text editor sucks | 13:36 |
| jrib | if you search xorg.conf man page for "hal" though, you get the option that lets you still configure input devices in xorg.conf | 13:37 |
| LjL | jrib: so anyway what's this hal business? i mean, i suppose it's not just an xorg specific thing (as i even have /etc/hal on my Hardy even though it's close to empty) | 13:37 |
| LjL | is there a whole new hardware management framework? | 13:37 |
| bazhang | I am waiting for the wiki before I tell people to go into hal | 13:39 |
| jrib | LjL: I don't know much about it. All I know is that with hal and udev I can hotplug devices now | 13:39 |
| LjL | i've got this feeling we're too much out of touch with the developers | 13:40 |
| jrib | I couldn't find any good documentation really. I shouldn't have to go read the spec | 13:40 |
| LjL | jrib: well that might be because the wiki people are also out of touch with the developers, possibly | 13:41 |
| bazhang | well try telling a new user they have to go into hal; that will not go down well methinks | 13:41 |
| jrib | bazhang: same as telling them to edit xorg.conf imo | 13:42 |
| LjL | bazhang: probably no better or worse than xorg.conf | 13:42 |
| LjL | problem is that i know how xorg.conf works, no idea about the hal stuff | 13:42 |
| bazhang | exactly | 13:42 |
| bazhang | thus the reason to wait for the wiki | 13:42 |
| LjL | assuming the wiki will ever have this stuff | 13:42 |
| jrib | LjL: devicekit is set to replace hal | 13:42 |
| LjL | perhaps the wiki people are "waiting for IRC support to know something about it" ;) | 13:43 |
| LjL | jrib: wait, wait, i barely know what hal even is yet, and there's something set to replace it? :o | 13:43 |
| bazhang | haha | 13:43 |
| LjL | my head is now a confusion of hotplugudevhalxorgdevicekit... | 13:43 |
| LjL | give me the windows registry PLEASE! | 13:44 |
| bazhang | you sound like domas from earlier :) | 13:44 |
| LjL | i guess i missed that one, but he's probably right :P | 13:44 |
| bazhang | he was asking some really hard questions just to be a smarty-pants | 13:45 |
| jrib | some documentation https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config | 13:45 |
| jrib | the !fixres is out date too | 13:46 |
| jrib | of | 13:46 |
| jrib | didn't know about xinput, hmm | 13:47 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#xorg.conf | 13:54 |
| LjL | jrib: problem is, even though that's a wiki (as opposed to a help) page, it's still mostly a pasting of instructions, with only a very marginal high-level overview... | 13:54 |
| bazhang | something for nvidia but ati is blank | 13:54 |
| LjL | jrib: for doing support, i need to have some of a global view - at a layman level because i'm really no more than the next user, but still some insight of how things are actually done, what depends on what, what the architecture is like | 13:55 |
| LjL | it feels like i'm less and less in touch with the "way things work" | 13:55 |
| LjL | not like i've started feeling this need *now*... | 13:56 |
| LjL | i had actually tried writing a wiki page "ubuntu architecture for dummies" (wasn't really called that) | 13:56 |
| LjL | that was long ago | 13:56 |
| LjL | how was it even called... | 13:57 |
| jrib | isn't open week coming up? | 13:59 |
| jrib | might be a good idea to ask for such a talk | 13:59 |
| jrib | LjL: | 13:59 |
| LjL | jrib: yes i was thinking about that | 14:00 |
| LjL | i feel too terrible today though for actually going around and having coherent talk with people | 14:03 |
| elkbuntu | aww, ljl needs huggles? | 14:03 |
| LjL | elkbuntu: if you want to catch a cold | 14:04 |
| elkbuntu | LjL, the internets protect me | 14:04 |

| PriceChild | I just tested a live usb and woo intrepid works for me :P | 14:04 |
| LjL | anyone happen to know how i could find a wiki page i created? | 14:05 |
| PriceChild | recently or? | 14:05 |
| LjL | no, years ago | 14:06 |
| * PriceChild waits for firefox to load | 14:07 | |
| LjL | elkbuntu: my sister finally has working wireless by the way. perhaps unsurprisingly, it was a matter of setting DHCP instead of static addressing... | 14:07 |
| bazhang | ibex is flawless here | 14:07 |
| bazhang | both on desktop and eeepc | 14:08 |
| LjL | bazhang: tell me about the eeepc, there has to be *something* eeepc specific that doesn't work out of the box? | 14:08 |
| elkbuntu | heh | 14:08 |
| bazhang | LjL, well I spend a fair amount of time at the wiki at www.eeeuser.com | 14:09 |
| LjL | bazhang: i'm currently on ubuntu-eee but i'm not entirely fond of using custom kernels | 14:09 |
| bazhang | LjL, aha | 14:09 |
| LjL | although even on the eeepc i have my doubts about whether or not to upgrade to intrepid... | 14:10 |
| LjL | for the same reason as on my desktop: lack of kde 3 | 14:10 |
| LjL | i'm on gnome on the eeepc right now but i'm not sure it'd stay that way | 14:11 |
| LjL | Fedora or Red-Hat administrators will now feel a bit more comfortable using Ubuntu as the service command they had been using to manage daemons is now standard on Ubuntu. In addition to the traditional sudo /etc/init.d/<service> [start|stop|restart] way of managing a process, it is now also possible to use sudo service <service> [start|stop|restart]. | 14:13 |
| LjL | AAAGGH. whgat traditional *what*? you start a service with invoke-rc.d | 14:13 |
| LjL | jrib, bazhang: ha here it is, that page i wrote years ago https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KnowThyUbuntu - it's probably ridiculous itself but it should give an idea what i'd *like* to have | 14:15 |
| bazhang | LjL, sweet; thanks | 14:16 |
| elkbuntu | LjL, yeah, that's roflol | 14:18 |
| LjL | elkbuntu: my page? | 14:18 |
| elkbuntu | 'we added another layer of abstraction, so you people who think you are it and a bit will feel more comfortable' | 14:18 |
| LjL | ah | 14:18 |
| elkbuntu | LjL, no, the service thing | 14:18 |
| LjL | well "service" is shorter and easier than "invoke-rc.d" | 14:19 |
| LjL | it's not that bad imho | 14:19 |
| LjL | but saying that it replaces /etc/init.d is blasphemy | 14:19 |
| LjL | because you were *not* supposed to start services using "sudo /etc/init.d/" in the first place | 14:19 |
| bazhang | fedora now has both root and user passwords | 14:24 |
| bazhang | very ubuntu-like of late :) | 14:24 |
| LjL | err? having a root password is ubuntu-like? or are you being ironic? | 14:25 |
| elkbuntu | yeah, my boss gave up on ubuntu and fled to centos | 14:25 |
| elkbuntu | errr, | 14:26 |
| elkbuntu | s/ubuntu/fedora/ | 14:26 |
| elkbuntu | i need bed | 14:26 |
| elkbuntu | i think he's worded it wrong | 14:26 |
| bazhang | LjL, sorry, meant about the separate user pass | 14:32 |
| bazhang | most of the stuff in fedora now is with that one password and not the root pass | 14:32 |

| bazhang | haha | 16:09 |
| bazhang | woden1, how may we help you | 17:14 |
| woden1 | Can I request to be unbanned? | 17:14 |
| bazhang | woden1, you were using the nick thunar or thunar1? | 17:15 |
| woden1 | Yes | 17:15 |
| woden1 | It's my first offense. Can I just get a warning? I'm sorry I won't do it again. | 17:16 |
| bazhang | woden1, you were asking others to send you money via paypal? | 17:17 |
| woden1 | No. | 17:17 |
| woden1 | Definitely no. | 17:17 |
| woden1 | Where did that come from? | 17:17 |
| woden1 | lol | 17:17 |
| bazhang | <thunar1> Mafioso_d: Send $199 to my pay-pal account to order Ubuntu. | 17:17 |
| woden1 | No that is not me, I swear. | 17:18 |
| bazhang | that was not you? | 17:18 |
| woden1 | Nope. I'm being honest. | 17:18 |
| bazhang | same ip address | 17:18 |
| woden1 | Wait | 17:18 |
| woden1 | Now I remember | 17:18 |
| woden1 | Yea I guess I did say that | 17:18 |
| woden1 | lol | 17:18 |
| bazhang | not funny | 17:18 |
| woden1 | Weird, I didn't even remember until you posted the exact text. | 17:18 |
| woden1 | You are right, and I have no excuse. | 17:18 |
| woden1 | Honestly it was out of character for me. I've never done anything like that before. | 17:19 |
| woden1 | What do you think? Yay, Nay? | 17:21 |
| bazhang | the person who banned you is not around woden1 | 17:21 |
| bazhang | you will need to speak with them | 17:22 |
| woden1 | Hrm | 17:22 |
| woden1 | Alright | 17:22 |
| Gary | 5 | 17:22 |
| bazhang | please read these two links | 17:22 |
| woden1 | Well, I don't even know who banned me, but I'd like to know so I can request to be unbanned. | 17:22 |
| LjL | [Thu Oct 30 2008] [19:20:56] <thunar1> Mafioso_d: Send $199 to my pay-pal account to order Ubuntu. | 17:22 |
| LjL | [Thu Oct 30 2008] [19:23:44] <thunar1> Ubuntu rocks! Ubuntu sucks! Ubuntu exists! Ubuntu is dead! Yea! | 17:22 |
| LjL | [Thu Oct 30 2008] [19:25:12] <thunar1> su | 17:22 |
| LjL | [Thu Oct 30 2008] [19:25:13] <thunar1> rm -rf / | 17:22 |
| LjL | [Thu Oct 30 2008] [19:25:58] <thunar1> jwoo: yes, dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda | 17:22 |
| LjL | can you, like, explain *all* of those? | 17:22 |
| bazhang | !coc | woden1 | 17:22 |
| ubottu | woden1: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | 17:22 |
| bazhang | !guidelines | woden1 | 17:23 |
| ubottu | woden1: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 17:23 |
| woden1 | I read both of those earlier today when I came here. | 17:23 |
| woden1 | Thanks for the link. | 17:23 |
| bazhang | but you just said that it was not you. You Swore. | 17:23 |
| woden1 | You mean the paypal thing? | 17:23 |
| bazhang | Yes. | 17:23 |
| woden1 | I totally forgot | 17:24 |
| woden1 | I really didn't think that was me, because I forgot completely that I said that. | 17:24 |
| LjL | ly forgot about the rest of what you said that i quoted, too? | 17:24 |
| mneptok | woden1: people that have blackouts and forget their behavior are not good candidates for polite and reasoned discourse on IRC. | 17:24 |
| woden1 | No, the other part about rm -rf / and dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda I remembered all of that and admitted to it upfront. | 17:24 |
| woden1 | mneptok: I agree with you | 17:25 |
| woden1 | This is my first offense, I've never done anything like that before. | 17:26 |
| mneptok | woden1: so then what would you suggest? | 17:26 |
| woden1 | mneptok: Well it's hard for me to say because I am not working in your position and I don't see everything that you see. | 17:26 |
| woden1 | I guess...at the worst a time-limited ban? At the best, a warning and an immediate lift of the ban? | 17:27 |
| mneptok | woden1: your ban is time-limited, is suspect. but be prepared for that limit to be somewhat higher than you would prefer. | 17:28 |
| mneptok | s/is/i/ | 17:28 |
| woden1 | Okay well like I said earlier, I have no excuse for what I did and I am sorry and it won't happen again. | 17:29 |
| mneptok | and a ban is 100% certain and justifiable when you are sending commands that will destroy someone's installation | 17:29 |
| mneptok | "rm -rf /" ain't quite the same as screaming "poopy!" | 17:30 |
| woden1 | mneptok: Yes | 17:30 |
| woden1 | I agree | 17:30 |
| mneptok | great. so we're in agreement, and you will wait patiently until the person who placed the ban is confident the behavior will not be repeated. | 17:31 |
| woden1 | I have no other choice | 17:31 |
| woden1 | Okay well see you guys later. Thanks for doing what you do. | 17:31 |
| mneptok | another satisfied customer. | 17:31 |
| jdong | sigh, why the heck do people do stuff like that? | 17:43 |
| nalioth | cuz they're 12 years old and think it's funny | 17:44 |
| jdong | I guess I'll never understand the inner workings of their minds... I can't imagine how destroying other peoples' data can be funny | 17:47 |
| Gary | he did say he'd been to iraq, or did I miss something? | 17:57 |
| jdong | "Oh, how to put that on your holster? Just pull out the little pin thing on the top and *BOOOOOM* hahaha just joking" | 18:03 |
| mneptok | "I'm sorry I ordered subordinates to give me their rations, but that's all I did. Why am I not allowed on the practice range? Oh, right. There was that grenade thing. I forgotted." | 18:05 |
| jdong | mneptok: heh he's now in #ubuntu-devel asking his question. Hopefully this doesn't go down too badly :) | 18:28 |
| jdong | f14:27 < Chipzz> woden1: not a support channel | 18:30 |
| jdong | 14:29 < woden1> Well I was wondering if Ubuntu could "develop" a way to make it so that internal NTFS drives are automatically mounted at boot? | 18:30 |
| jdong | well.... A for effort. | 18:30 |
| jdong | left. | 18:32 |
| hagebake | hi, I'm trying to join #kubuntu and I keep getting redirected to #ubuntu-proxy-users because I'm using CGI:IRC. is it not allowed? | 19:24 |
