[00:11] Hello world [00:12] Who thinks GNOME'S the best ? [00:14] !best | Linuxownsu [00:14] Linuxownsu: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:14] !idle | Linuxownsu [00:14] Linuxownsu: Please keep in mind that this channel is for operator/abuse questions only, and we ask you to part when you have no further business here, in order to keep track of users with pending inquiries. [00:14] Kk thanks [00:15] I was asking for features comparisions but google drowning me in results [00:16] Ciao amigos [00:19] @mark Linuxownsu Nice hostmask... and trollish behaviour [00:19] The operation succeeded. [00:20] back, sorry, i am having problems with ubuntu, hence the need to get back in #ubuntu [00:20] i already apologized etc LjL said i just had to wait a few days its been a few days [00:21] spree: what nick were you using... [00:22] a lot of nicks. [00:22] thats why i was banned [00:22] spree: the one that got you banned? [00:22] (original ban) [00:22] i don't remember it probably had the word faggot in it i was mocking somebody in another channel and forgot i was in #ubuntu [00:23] ive been bad i know better now sorry and i've been waiting a few days. i understand i broke the rules and won't do it anymore. [00:23] i have read the TOS from the ubottu bot as told to [00:26] <Gary> spree: how sure can people be that if you were allowed back in you would not behave like you did the last time? <-- well i've done everything people in this channel have told me to do, why would i spend all this effort on getting back in to get banned again for a few lines of text [00:26] Gary [00:38] spree: what about your behaviour in offtopic ? [00:39] and you where not banned in #ubuntu just because of your name, but for being rude and offensive and making what you considered rude and offensive jokes, with very adult content [00:39] ikonia, i honestly don't even remember [00:40] what is the difference between sarah palin's mouth and sarah palin's vagina? [00:40] does that ring a bell ? [00:40] oh that... [00:40] yes it does [00:40] sorry about that [00:40] right.....what was that all about in #ubuntu ? [00:40] why did you do it ? [00:40] because i was drunk and it was election night? [00:40] i know it wasn't appropriate [00:41] how about this I farted, its yeasty pungent scent took me aback with its succulent sulfur and rotting meat stench [00:41] i regret doing it [00:41] so after you where banned in the first channel you went and caused issues in other channels [00:42] spree: well, I'm afraid that is the price of being banned in my view, you don't get the support you want when you want it [00:42] look you're just crucifying me here i've already apologized [00:42] and i've been banned for approaching 2 weeks [00:42] if i wasn't serious i wouldn't be talking to you [00:43] spree: 9 days [00:43] we're on week 2 [00:44] right, I don't have confidence personally that this wasn't a one off, so I suggest you wait for ljl to return [01:13] "i was drunk" is certainly behavior that's likely to re-occur [01:13] you can only prevent behavior you actually control [01:25] spree - yet another nickname uh [01:25] i don't know... is it just me who have an instinctive feeling again people who come here to "appeal" with a different nickname every time [01:26] @mark #Ubuntu-ops spree This is "PipFAGGOT", I did tell him to check back in a few days, but the logs are worrying. [01:26] Error: Not in that channel [01:26] @mark #ubuntu-ops spree This is "PipFAGGOT", I did tell him to check back in a few days, but the logs are worrying. [01:26] The operation succeeded.

[02:57] :P [03:15] jussi01: incorrect. for staff, "real life" is "that place the servers are hosted" [03:16] hehe [03:21] you mean IRC isn't real?

[03:29] No, hockey [03:35] The McDonalds there may sell pudding of some kind, i don't know [03:38] McDonalds? pudding? [03:38] * nalioth pinches genii and checks his awareness [03:39] hehe, no i'm going to an actual cafe, i go there most weekends for pudding. [03:39] nalioth: I'm awake, I'm awake! [03:39] genii: no doubt, but are you aware of what reality you are currently inhabiting? [03:39] A non-pudding based one? [03:40] I dread to think what McDonalds would sell for pudding [03:41] Actually me too [03:42] Thats why I'll probably have the (extremely overpriced) beer instead [03:44] @now houston [03:44] Error: Unknown timezone: houston - Full list: http://tinyurl.com/4vyvp8 [03:44] Poor Houston [03:44] @now Toronto [03:44] Current time in America/Toronto: November 14 2008, 22:44:41 - Next meeting: Americas Regional Board in 2 days [03:51] hehehe. jdong, the east coast kid. :) [03:51] "OMG 200 miles that's like going to Jupiter!!!!"

[06:29] Anyone who has ops in -ot awake? [06:29] Stasshole could use a kick [06:29] and a ban. [06:30] I wouldn't disagree with a ban either. but definately a kick. [06:31] Done. [06:31] thanks tritium [06:31] DrDerek: They haven't been in -ot [06:31] Sure. Thanks for letting me know [06:32] yeah, not yet, but in some other channels I was in.

[08:40] Flannel: Ive picked up some while ive been there ;) [08:41] jussi01: Perhaps all Finnish people have six fingers on each hand then? So they can not only type faster on tiny phones, but also utilize all eight metakeys. [08:41] rofl [08:43] jussi01, which irc client should i get then? [08:43] elkbuntu: putty + irssi :D [08:43] elkbuntu: which phone is it?

It's kinda incomplete as it needs a Wiki page to show how to get back to konqueror or use Dolphin in Gnome or KDE [19:59] Also is !d3lphin simply a redirect to !dolphin? [20:00] I'd like !d3lphin to keep it's current verbage [20:01] !-d3lphin [20:01] d3lphin is dolphin - added by Jucato on 2007-10-18 17:15:57 [20:02] Drat I forgot about that :) [20:03] In ubottu, DaSkreech said: !d3lphin is D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [20:09] I'm not a KDE person, I'd like for someone else who uses it to review it :) [20:10] A factoid about dolphin dealing only with konqueror? [20:10] we dont need that factoid [20:10] PriceChild: Yeah One of the most common questions about Dolphin is how to switch back to Konqueror [20:11] Maybe some sort of !replace factoid? [20:11] stick it on !konqueror if wanted [20:11] DaSkreech: No, that's a question about kde or konqueror, not dolphin. [20:11] a factoid talking about a non default option is a can of worms dont' you think? [20:12] I'm not sure I'm understanding a word said here [20:12] Hi Myrtti [20:12] I knew I knew you from somewhere :) [20:12] but, I'm a XFCE/Gnome person, so ignore me [20:12] * DaSkreech hugs [20:13] Excuse me? [20:13] Myrtti: the default file manager was changed to Dolphin Some people would really prefer the old option [20:13] If we only promoted "default", and discouraged "non default", then we wouldn't have any factoids, as we wouldn't support anybody to change anything. [20:13] PriceChild: No I'm saying then you would have to have a !factoid for each of the valid options [20:13] I'm not saying don't have the factoid, I'm just suggesting that informatino should be in !konqueror, seen as that's what you want. [20:14] Wouldn't it make more sense to say how to change from the default and allow the user to make up thier mind? [20:14] Yep no problem with that. [20:14] But if someone wants to find out about dolphin, they don't want to hear about konqueror. [20:14] I could reword to make it more generic but most people really want konqueror not nautilus of krusader or thunar etc [20:15] We have had a few people come in asking how to get Dolphin on Gnome/XFCE [20:15] but most of the comments on Dolphin have been nice most of the questions have been how do i get back Konqueror [20:15] Hence the original reason the factiod was made [20:16] Now that KDE4 is shipping by default I thought I'd split the association between the KDE3 dolphin and the KDE4 dolphin factoid [20:17] If that makes sense to all here? [20:18] Actually let it stay for a bit I need to put up Wiki page to address all of this then it can link to it [20:19] PriceChild: thanks for that suggestion though I'll keep that in mind (lack of a !konqueror factoid) :) [20:24] PriceChild, there's something you're missing i think [20:24] !dolphin [20:24] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [20:24] the factoid is *already* there and *already* tells you how to get back to konqueror [20:25] in more detail than daskreech's proposal has [20:25] okies [20:25] but [20:25] still think the last part is in the wrong factoid :P [20:25] i don't like a factoid that tells "you can do this" without telling you how [20:26] !filemanager [20:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about filemanager [20:26] LjL: Meeither that's why I want to build a wiki page that covers the three most popular questions about Dolphin [20:27] Each DE has it's own way of doing default filemanagers [20:27] BTW why doesn't !Gnome tell you how to install it? [20:27] DaSkreech: and that's why we have channge specific factoids [20:27] there's one thing i don't quite know though [20:27] !kde [20:27] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [20:27] !xfce [20:27] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [20:27] how do you change your default file manager from inside *dolphin*, not konqueror? [20:27] !gnome [20:27] gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [20:28] LjL: Let me try something and tell you in a second [20:28] the !gnome factoid is quite bad [20:29] if it were on wikipedia, it's be tagged "sounds like an ad" [20:29] I've often thought so [20:29] Yeah but an ad with no way to buy it [20:29] !no gnome is GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [20:29] I'll remember that LjL [20:30] !default [20:30] To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu (KDE 3), Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations". In Kubuntu (KDE 4), System Settings -> Advanced -> File Associations [20:30] !default-#kubuntu [20:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:30] !no default is To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [20:30] I'll remember that LjL [20:30] That's sweet [20:31] Hmm [20:31] !default-#kubuntu is To change the default application for a filetype, go to Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" (KDE 3), or System Settings -> Advanced -> File Associations (KDE 4) [20:31] I'll remember that, LjL [20:31] Myrtti: ping. How do you change file associations in Xfce ? [20:32] i suspect that in just about every DE, you can change the default filemanager by changing the association for the directory type [20:32] so that should probably be stuck to !default and that's it [20:33] Yep true I was going to change the !dolphin factoid to say "Change the inode association to konqueror in !default" [20:33] discussing inode association seems over the top in a factoid [20:34] ikonia: Not when that's what people are asking for [20:34] who is ? [20:34] ikonia: you don't have to know what an inode is, you just need to find where it says "inode/directory" in the dialog box... [20:35] surly that should be in an instruction page/link rather than in the factoid [20:35] !no default-#kubuntu is To change the default application for a filetype, go to Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" (KDE 3), or System Settings -> Advanced -> File Associations (KDE 4). To change your default file manager, change the "inode/directory" and "inode/system_directory" filetypes. [20:35] I'll remember that LjL [20:35] ikonia: The default file manager in KDE was changed and people like the old one so they ask how to get it back [20:36] DaSkreech: where are they asking this ? [20:36] in #kubuntu of course [20:36] in #kubuntu ? [20:36] I've not seen it, hence why I'm asking [20:37] It's gotten a lot less since the 7.10 days but cropped up again with KDE4 by default [20:37] though Dolphin is >>> D3lphin [20:37] the factoid !dolphin was Requested 237 times [20:37] that's many. [20:38] so people like it better [20:38] Still I thought it wise to split the !dolphin and !d3lphin factoids since they are offically two products in the Ubuntu world now [20:38] do they need to have a factoid in the first place? [20:38] !info dolphin [20:39] dolphin (source: kdebase): file manager for KDE 4. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu4 (intrepid), package size 1180 kB, installed size 2296 kB [20:39] !info d3lphin [20:39] Package d3lphin does not exist in intrepid [20:39] these tell what they are [20:39] aside from the fact that the latter isn't in intrepid [20:39] yeah but people are still on hardy [20:39] !info d3lphin hardy [20:39] Package d3lphin does not exist in hardy [20:39] where the heck is it to begin with [20:39] It's colloquial [20:40] then they aren't two different products [20:40] Dolphin on KDE3 libs have far less functionality than the one on KDE4 libs [20:40] well that goes for just about every KDE package [20:40] (one way... or the other) [20:40] So much so people called them different names to make it clear which one they are talking about [20:40] No for the most part most are ports from KDE3 with some added fun [20:41] well, the !d3lphin factoid was requested a solid 0 times [20:41] i don't see a need for it [20:41] Dolphin is a pure KDE4 app shoehorned into KDE3 [20:41] yeah I guess not :0- [20:41] :-) [20:41] and i don't see a need for !dolphin, it should be in !default (right there if possible, or in a wiki page otherwise) [20:42] !no dolphin is default-#kubuntu [20:42] I'll remember that LjL [20:42] I'll work on a wiki page but I don't have a problem with that as it solves the most greivous question about dolphin [20:43] !default-#kubuntu [20:43] To change the default application for a filetype, go to Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" (KDE 3), or System Settings -> Advanced -> File Associations (KDE 4). To change your default file manager, change the "inode/directory" and "inode/system_directory" filetypes. [20:43] DaSkreech: just should confirm that the above works, both in 3 and 4 [20:43] i have 3 [20:44] LjL: It does [20:44] In KDE4 there is an option to switch between Dolphin and Konqueror [20:44] They just need to be able to find it [20:45] Also for some reason post hardy there was no option to associate a directory with an app in Gnome [20:45] I think that's solved now though [20:46] right click on any directory -> properties -> open with -> new app [21:35] DaSkreech: "with great difficulty" [21:35] * DaSkreech laughs [21:35] nice answer [21:40] Congrats to a new daddy :-) [21:40] * Myrtti huggles Tm_M [21:40] lech [21:40] * ikonia nods to Tm_M [21:40] congratulations [21:40] my little princess [21:41] prettyest nun in the convent [21:41] danke [21:43] Grats!! [21:44] she still has her own room though, plastic this time [21:49] Tm_M: you are a new daddy? [21:50] anyway, have to sleep now, I am happy <3 [21:50] yes [21:50] Tm_M: woooot *congrats* [21:50] but really sleep [21:50] night [21:50] * Myrtti tucks Tm_M in bed [21:51] awwww [22:24] sigh fryguy again debating "su" and "sudo -i" in pm [22:24] always a "disussion" with him [22:26] If you don't want to talk to him, don't. You'll only come off annoyed to him. Pass him to someone else if you have to. [22:27] I can't be bothered with him [22:28] Sergiu: hi, how can we help you? [22:29] He had a ban in the BT from #u+1 [22:29] and #ubuntu for that matter [22:30] I didn't see that one [22:30] removed now [22:30] Or rather, bansearch didnt. [22:32] I'm out for th e night [22:32] * ikonia is tired of being pm'd by fryguy with lectures [22:32] meh just don't reply [22:32] can't be bothered anymore [22:32] he uses bsd so knows better [22:33] every 2 seconds pm with another "you should read the man page on blah, it verify's the sync rate of the flux capacitor, so therefore in a court of law, I would be deemed right" [22:33] rather than just helping the user - he has to be technically right [22:34] can't be bothered, going to bed [22:34] I suggest someone keep an eye on him for futher great sudo su - advice - he's right you know ! its safe [22:34] you don't have to have an excuse to go to bed... [22:34] anyway, sudo su *is* safe. it's just ugly [22:34] LjL: I disagree [22:35] same way I disagree about sudo -i for someone who has no idea [22:35] sudo provides a layer of protection [22:35] ughhh now you've got me going [22:35] bed [22:35] night [22:35] oh of course, i was comparing to sudo -i [22:40] Hm.. does DKMS solve the issue with restricted modules not being available for the -server kernel? [22:42] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) [22:42] FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) [22:42] I knew that was coming [22:43] Pici: me too, but i didn't stop it since it doesn't even really kill anyone anymore [23:00] coreymon77 called the ops in #kubuntu () [23:02] ikonia: thanks [23:02] can't sleep [23:02] no problem [23:05] Pici: didn't want the ban lifted - he didn't want to mix with spoonfeeders and noobs [23:05] just fyi [23:05] I'll update bt [23:05] @btlogin [23:05] ooh he's back as pici_spoonfeed [23:06] ikonia: Where? [23:06] pm [23:06] 23:05 -!- jaiFai is now known as Pici_Spoonfeed_P [23:06] 23:05 ;) [23:06] 23:06 i don't find that funny [23:06] I'll end that conversation there then and let the ban stand for a while [23:07] he's back as his normal nick now [23:34] * Pici rolls his eyes [23:37] Strike! [23:38] hmmmm [23:39] DaSkreech: Can we help you with anything else today?
