ikoniaLjL: I've just been asked is it possilbe to hide the /ban list on a channel to non-priviled users00:04
ikoniaor anyone for that matter out of interest00:04
Myrttionly one question comes to mind00:05
Myrttiwhy should it be hidden?00:05
ikoniadon't know ??00:05
ikoniait was just a question I've been asked00:06
Mezikonia: no - it's a channel mode list set by the server. It's not hideable unless coded that way in the IRCD00:21
LjLikonia: no. you can, on the other hand, ban *everyone* and set +e's for the ones who can join - e's are hidden.00:25
MezLjL: no they aren't00:47
Mezoh, you need to be an op... my bad00:48

mneptoki'm winning the war on pants!02:57
* jrib doesn't ask03:03
mneptoki told my girlfriend i was a massive studcake.03:05
mneptokas in all wars, in the war on pants the first casualty is the truth.03:06
nickruddid she have a massive stroke?03:06
jdongurgh, horrible puns03:06
jdongplease stop03:06
jdong*cry*03:06
jdongnow normally I'd assume such puns are unintentional... but this place is exceptional.03:07
* jrib DID NOT ask03:07
mneptokeven if the people aren't.03:07
nickrudpuns are the only human source of humor; all jokes are implanted by aliens03:07
jribactually, that's not quite true03:08
Flannelnickrud: I'd argue feghoots are terrestrial as well.03:08
nickrudhm, I think the jury is out on that one03:08
jribnight03:09
nickrudactually that's the premise of a pretty good science fiction short story I read once; the aliens went away and iirc everyone ended up killing themselves 03:09
Flannelnickrud: sources.list.d considered harmful03:14
nickrudsince when?03:14
FlannelNot officially, unfortunately.03:14
FlannelBut, its the most annoying thing in the world03:15
nickrudI do like not altering provided configs, and find the *.d debian concept elegant03:15
FlannelExcept when you have to explain to people that they need to pastebin their sources.list, *and* all the stuff in .d03:16
Flannelit *ought* to be that .d gets collected and compiled into sources.list, like grub03:16
Flannelbut, thats just me.  I don't see a point of obfuscating your sources.list03:17
nickrudthat would be kinda nice, have it show up in /var somewhere03:18
nickrudconcept is to allow other packages to add functionality without altering another packages file, which is a no no.03:18
FlannelYes, except sources.list isn't in a package03:19
nickrudplus it gets around doing checking diffs during a package upgrade, comparing maintainer's file with any alterations you've made.03:19
nickrudeh, doing or checking, but not both I guess03:20
Flannelsources.list belongs to no packages, so it wont ever have that issue.03:20
nickrudtrue.03:20
nickrudmaybe a factoid, !showmeyoursources with a copy & paste command line, like cat /etc/apt/sources.list > list ; cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* >> list03:23
mneptoknickrud: you want a photo of my parents?03:23
nickrudmneptok, are you sure they don't mind being outed?03:24
nickrudbut sure, I'll bite03:24
mneptoknickrud: !showmeyoursources ?03:25
nickrudI'm not very original03:25
mneptokeither you want a photo of my parents, or this is first year journalism school ;)03:25
nickrudand I have to have things beat into my head sometimes. DOH03:25

bazhangsounds like hackintosh not a real apple computer07:44
ikoniagood point07:45
bazhanghe is saying he deleted refit and booting from grub; that does not make sense, esp. as he claims booting holding down c, option or t do not work (which all work on Macs)07:45
ikoniayes07:46
elkbuntueither that, or its a troll.07:47
bazhangor both07:48
ikoniabazhang: nice, I was going for the cpu07:49
bazhangikonia, he claims the livecd works but os X cd does not, sounds very fishy :)07:50

elkbuntuhas anyone tried the 64bit flash?07:51

GibbaTheHuttah I was forwarded here because I had a !give as part of my xchat so was hoofed out, I "think" I've disabled it, but need it tested before I'm safe to go out in the wild :)09:03

Myrtticould you explain one thing09:10
Myrttior actually two09:10
Myrttia) where did you get this script b) what made you run it in #ubuntu09:10
GibbaTheHuttwas uberscript, and I can't remember, I think it was some feature of multiple servers that xchat didn't do (does do them I know), was a very long time ago09:12
MyrttiI hope you've learned your lesson about those scripts?09:14
GibbaTheHutthm probably not tbh09:16
Myrttidon't run them if you don't know extensively what they do09:16
Myrttiespecially on crowded channels like #ubuntu09:17
GibbaTheHuttyep, that I know, tbh I didn't realise anyone used !give09:17
GibbaTheHuttotherwise would have disabled it better in first placve09:17
GibbaTheHuttbut yeah I can understand the issues with that np09:18

bazhangthere is endearing, and there is creepy, and that line has been breeched11:38

MyrttiPici: it would be lovely if swfdec and/or gnash could handle vimeo etc. but as they don't, I like that the proprietary vendor does love us a bit.12:50
Myrttifrom the developer blog I read that 64-bit flash is the most asked feature for Linux, and also that it was first shipped for Linux, with no set date to launch it for Windows or Mac yet.12:50
Myrttiwe Linuxists are happy bunch, if we get the library, we manage to install it. Windows folks need installers.12:51
elkbuntuhaha12:51
Myrttimade with InstallShield or some other junk.12:51
Myrtti*grumble*12:51
PiciMyrtti: That was nice indeed.  Its too bad that the open source alternatives cannot handle the more pervasive online applications, otherwise we'd be able to recommend them more often.12:52

LjLjrib, or for that matter anyone: i've wondered a few times... if you just want to build a source package when you fetch it, apt-get has the "--build" option, which just builds it, without requiring anything built the build-deps afaik. on the other hand, if you want to modify and *then* build, !source mentions using dpkg-buildpackage with fakeroot, and i've seen a plethora of other possibilities mentioned13:33

MyrttiI feel almost like a pro photographer even with my crappy N9515:22
jdongMyrtti: the N95 isn't "crappy" when it comes to photography... for a phone camera it has one of the best cams I've seen to date.15:28
jdongnot to mention that level of quality 5 years ago was considered a premium-model digital camera :D15:28
Myrttithose pictures that I just took make me cry. I wouldn't have thought having spent three years in arts/crafts evening classes would have had this much effect. But I bet not that many know how to take pictures of that quality in pitch black with a goddamn N9515:30

fdeWhy does ubottu's sound factoid still recommend ALSA usage? It should recommend how to fix pulse, not to replace it with alsa itself...16:11
fde(it should basically redirect to the pulseaudio factoid or be replaced outright with the pulseaudio one imo)16:12
Myrtti!sound16:14
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP316:14
fdeI don't think that is valid for any supported version of Ubuntu other than the first LTS16:15
Myrttia) there's xubuntu and kubuntu that don't use pulseaudio16:15
Myrttib) alsa does still work together with pulseaudio16:15
fdeMyrtti: Kubuntu uses phonon now, which via its backend should be using pulse... and xubuntu should be using pulse too16:16
jdong"alsa" outputs to a virtual pulse device by default anyway.16:16
jdongfde: no, phonon directly uses alsa by default.16:16
jdongconfiguring it to use a pulse backend requires manual XSession.d editing and control center changes16:16
jdong[citation-needed] on xubuntu using pulse, too.16:17
fdejdong: well then that is poor design, the suse guys for instance have it use esd by default instead...16:17
MyrttiI'm using xubuntu16:17
Myrttiit doesn't use pulse16:17
MyrttiI'd scream if it would16:17
jdongwhen the Xsession script for pulse tests for gnome-session in $STARTUP.... :)16:17
fdepulse is suffering because too many apps aren't designed to use it... it is technically sound16:17
fdeumm... strong?16:18
jdongalsa output goes through pulse anyway, what's the big deal?16:18
Myrttifde: are this your opinions or something agreed by the ubuntu devs as a whole?16:18
jdongand pulse is still not perfect in that regard :)16:18
Myrttis/this/these/16:18
jdongthere's plenty of realtime scheduling/buffering issues, various random deaths of the daemon caused by certain types of ALSA virtual output...16:18
fdejdong: the dmix stuff in the factoid certainly is wrong if that is true... dmix is turned off by default because of pulse feature overlap16:18
jdongfde: only when pulse is installed.16:19
fdeMyrtti: well, considering everyone is moving to pulse, I'd say its developer consensus... certainly for gnome16:19
Myrttiwhich still leaves xfce/kde/cli out of the deal.16:20
Myrttiand other solutions16:20
jdongand pulse sound mixing is still configured through the ALSA mixer API.16:20
Myrtti{{citation needed, desperately}} before editing the factoid16:21
jdongfundamentally it's the help.ubuntu.com docs that need refreshing to mention pulse-based sound issues.16:21
fdeMyrtti: there are technical reasons for using something like pulse... dmix was considered to be sadly lacking for lower end cards, and lacks the real time functionality of pulse for high end cards too16:22
Myrttifde: that is not the issue16:22
fdeMyrtti: My issue is that the factoid is outdated... due to those reasons... and thus should be changed to reflect current status.16:23
Myrttithe issue is that the factoid is staying as it is until you can prove the authoritive references to why it should be changed. I'm not convinced there is a developer consensus on the matter in GNOME, Ubuntu or the KDE/XFCE communities.16:23
Myrttis/you/anyone/16:24
* jdong agrees.16:24
jdongadditionally, it's the linked help.ubuntu.com docs that are out of date, not the factoid16:24
jdongthis is a Doc Team issue16:24
MyrttiI don't know about the dmix stuff, I guess that can be removed *if* we can find reference what you are suggesting about it is true.16:25
Myrttibut as for now, we play by "even outdated, but still confirmed and good data is better than blindly editing in new data without references."16:25
fdeMyrtti: http://live.gnome.org/PulseAudio  reflects some of the work to make pulse part of gnome... it states that PulseAudio was preferred for downstream since 2.1816:26
Myrttifde: and still, that applies only for Gnome.16:26
jdongMyrtti: well the dmix is probably the more questionable of anything in that mix. I don't think it's a good idea to go manually tooling around in the alsa configs outside Ubuntu documentation.16:26
jdongcan we spawn crimsun in here for a definitive answer? :)16:26
Myrttijdong: I agree.16:26
Myrtti1summon crimsun16:27
fdeMyrtti: KDE its phonon ... so it should at least specify different solutions for each desktop... 16:27
jdongphonon is an API wrapper.16:27
Myrtti[18:27] [freenode] ~~~crimsun is away: train16:27
jdongaww.16:27
fdejdong: yes, and it can use pulse or anything else... but it is the direct backend that apps talk to....16:28
jdongfde: I think the Sound page in help.u.c should specify the cases for each desktop environemnt.16:28
jdongnot the factoid.16:28
jdongthere's only so many words you can fit into it.16:28
Myrttifind the fault in the part "it can use pulse or anything else"16:28
fdejdong: can you at least agree that the dmix stuff should be removed from the faq? it is outdated...16:28
jdongI will agree with that. The dmix stuff probably doesn't belong in there16:29
jdongmessing with dmix by oneself is generally a bad idea and will lead to more support headaches in the future.16:29
fdeMyrtti: can and has plugins for aren't the same thing?  xine and gstreamer can both use pulse too though, which are the plugins I see for phonon right now16:30
jdongthe rest of the stuff, I will concur with you that the linked documentation is outdated and fails to mention the layer(s) above ALSA at all.16:30
jdongbut that is a problem to address with the Doc team and the wiki16:30
jdongif there's other wiki pages that need to be merged with the Sound and Sound/Troubleshooting pages, then help coordinate that effort. I think the factoid linking to the Sound page is appropriate.16:31
fdejdong: its primary use is more directed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting anyways, but even that page is out-dated, not to mention rather complicated16:32
jdongfde: well a lot of SoundTroubleshooting deals with driver/kernel-layer difficulties which are a necessary evil.16:32
jdongmaybe you haven't had many problems at that layer, but that is not characteritic of those having sound problems in gneeral16:33
fdejdong: I can agree with that, although all of the pages I'm looking at don't really cover what should be read by users....16:33
jdongfde: well can you find something more appropriate on the wiki, or organize an effort to write such a usable page?16:33
jdongfde: IMO the meat of factoid content should be in a wiki that can be community-maintained16:34
fdejdong: Not sure I'm the person to organize that though... what would an appropriate mailing list be to bring it up? I don't think there is an ubuntu-wiki mailing list?16:34
PiciThere should be one for the documentation team16:34

ubottubip (source: bip): multiuser irc proxy with conversation replay and more. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.4-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 98 kB, installed size 324 kB18:34
PiciMyrtti: Because apt-get and aptitude  are completely different! </sarcasm>18:34
MyrttiPici: mind explaining that to *him*?18:34
mewshiSo, do I just apt-get install bip?  And then what?18:35
LjLMyrtti, Pici: that cloning method actually has a flaw18:35
MyrttiLjL: which18:35
PiciLjL: Which?18:35
LjLmewshi: "bip" is just one, there are several others, do "apt-cache search irc proxy" or "irc bouncer" (or for that matter, "http proxy"). you install it, you configure it to run on a port that your library allows (like 80), and then you connect to it18:35
LjLMyrtti, Pici: unless i'm mistaken, it won't remember which packages were installed manually and which ones were installed automatically, so it'll break the "autoremove" feature of apt-get, and aptitude. i don't know what "the aptitude method" is, but if there is one, it'd probably get around that since aptitude was designed with that sort of dependency handling in mind18:36
Myrttimind explaining that to him?18:37
LjLMyrtti: well, that'd make him right ;)18:37
MyrttiI don't like his suggestion, because it is a bit arbitrary in comparison to the dselect-upgrade18:37
mewshiok, well, I may need some more help...18:38
LjLwhat's his suggestion, i think i missed part of this18:38
mewshiwhat's a good HTTP proxy?18:39
LjLMyrtti: ah sorry seen it. yes, his suggestion is intended to get the autoremove stuff right18:39
LjLmewshi, i gave you some pointers, now please ask in #Ubuntu18:39
LjLMyrtti: why do you call it arbitrary anyway?18:40
MyrttiLjL: a) I've never seen that used before b) it relies on other commands and search parameters not explained nor obvious18:41
LjLMyrtti: the only actual difference is that aptitude is used instead of "dpkg --get-selections". the rest can, in all likelihood, be done exactly the same way18:42
LjLaptitude search -F '%100p' '~i!~M' means "search for all installed packages that were not installed automatically, and print the package name only"18:42
LjLi can probably make that a bit more understandable in form18:42
* Myrtti feels a sudden urge to file a bug to aptitude: "please fix these parameters to something more legible and make them a single parameter, like --get-selections"18:43
LjLMyrtti: they don't have to fix them, it's just the way he used them.18:43
Myrttiin the way he used it I wouldn't ever dare to try it, it looks Greek to me, akin to forkbombs.18:44
Myrttiwhich is what I suspect even less knowledgeable would feel18:45
Myrttidemanding explanation.18:45

fdeLjL: ahh, true... both are valid though... I just prefer using aptitude as it keeps track of that stuff... ime the dpkg --get-selections method ends up having aptitude try to remove everything...18:55
LjLand i believe dpkg --get-selections should work fine18:55

fdeMyrtti: wasn't aware as you're not supposed to idle in here, sorry18:56
Myrttifde: which is why I told you the logs :-)18:57
fdeLjL: yes, because none of it was explicitly installed, dpkg just replaces the selections18:57
LjLfde: i understand that using aptitude with !~M~i allows to only list manually installed packages, which is a good thing... but i'm not sure why would aptitude *remove* stuff if that's not done?18:57
fdeMyrtti: I didn't see that, my bad18:57
LjLfde: and when it replaces it, they aren't marked as manually installed by default?18:57
LjLfde: still, that doesn't happen with apt-get, does it? and apt-get, too, has a knowledge of what packages were automatically installed18:58
LjLwhich afaik should "in theory" be the same as aptitude's18:58
fdeLjL: I don't understand why either honestly, but that is why I don't use the dpkg --set-selections method... it is likely a bug, but I've never followed through on filing it.18:58
fdeLjL: never tried with apt-get since the autoremove functionality was put in... 18:58
LjLfde: well, we should. i've seen people before complaining that aptitude was "removing random packages" and never could quite understand why18:59
LjLlet me test18:59
fdeLjL: in most cases, its because nothing now depends on it... but for some reason --get-selections seemed to think none were installed explicitely.19:00
LjLfde: right, but those people seemed to be saying it removes way more than that19:01
LjLi *was* indeed suspicious of their claims19:01
LjLbut this might be an explanation for them19:01
fdeLjL: if you have a test box, for instance removing ubuntu-desktop would probably remove everything that it depends on too...19:01
LjLyes, that i know19:01
fdeLjL: same deal though with --get-selections and then using aptitude ... except ubuntu-desktop was also not explicitely installed... so everything goes anyway  :(19:02

ikoniawhen did ubottu start treating | as > 19:04
LjL(aptitude mentioned a couple of automatically installed packages, but not "sdf")19:04
LjLikonia: since people started sending | messages to themselves19:04
ikoniaLjL: so it only works with peoples sesnding it to themselves, not others19:04
LjLikonia: yes19:05
fdeLjL: maybe it changed then, I still don't trust the dpkg method though because of that19:05
ikoniahas that been in there long, I've not noticed it19:05
LjLikonia: it also tells them "in the future, please use a PM to investigate"19:05
Piciikonia: Its been there for a while19:05
LjLfde, it's still "not right" that there is a difference between what apt-get tells me and what aptitude tells me19:05
LjLaptitude says19:05
LjLThe following packages are unused and will be REMOVED:19:05
LjL  epiphany-data libakonadiprivate0 libdlna0 libmozjs0d libneon27-gnutls libtagc0 libtifiles0 libtifiles0-dev libupnp2 libusb-dev mediatomb-common19:05
LjLapt-get says none of that19:05
fdeLjL: they'll be listed if you apt-get -s autoremove19:06
LjLah wait no...19:06
ikoniaPici: I've just blind19:06
LjLright, right19:06
LjLfde: still, no "sdf" listed19:06
Myrttifde: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/11/18/%23ubuntu-ops.txt, search for [18:28]19:06
LjLfde: alright, i'll just switch to the aptitude method entirely in case the problem you mentioned happens with some older supported releases19:07
fdeLjL: yup, so they fixed that it seems, or maybe I just did something wrong, idk... but I would still appreciate it being added at least as aptitudeclone for future reference, then keep the old one as clone19:08
LjL(although i really dislike the xarg thing, bleah)19:08
fdeLjL: sounds good also  :)19:08
fdeLjL: if you can think of another way to do it, feel free to change that, but it works like that19:08
LjL!no cloning is <reply> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my_packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate19:09

LjLnow to go over the other factoids that fde submitted, and were indeed ignore19:14
LjL[12:41] <fde> I'm unsure whether this is the right place, or if #ubuntu-irc is more appropriate, but could someone please change the bot's 'sound' factoid to reflect pulseaudio changes...19:14
LjL[12:42] <fde> Currently it states to set it to ALSA only, but there is no dmix anymore, so that isn't what the user wants in any case.19:14
LjL[12:46] <fde> ubottu: no sound is If you're having problems with sound, first ensure PulseAudio is selected in System > Preferences > Sound, if that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP319:14
LjL!sound19:14
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP319:14
Myrttithe pulseaudio addition is just WRONG.19:15
PiciMyrtti was concerned that this didn't make reference to Xubuntu and Kubuntu19:15
LjLPici: neither does the current one19:15
PiciLjL: Indeed19:15
LjLalso19:15
LjL!sound-#kubuntu19:15
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked.

ubottuNo matches found for dhiraj!n=dhiraj@89.211.209.131 in any channel19:16
LjLMyrtti: why is the pulseaudio thing wrong19:16
LjL(perhaps we should invite him back?)19:16
Myrttiin my experience, even if you have pulseaudio, problems can be fixed with fixing alsa settings.19:17
MyrttiYMMV19:18
Myrttianyway, I'm getting a headache from extensive thinking19:19
ikoniadumb it down then19:19
Myrttiand I need to finish this blog entry19:19
LjLMyrtti, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you should select ALSA, and not PulseAudio, in the sound preferences19:22
LjLi'm not a gnome user, mind, i'm just going by common sense19:22
LjLanyway i'm off for dinner myself19:22

MyrttiI don't use GNOME myself anymore, either19:23

MyrttiPici: which is why I prodded $someone_else19:24
PiciMyrtti: Thanks19:24
MyrttiHOXHOX PEOPLE, YES YOU. If you feel you can wrangle audio issues in GNOME Hardy/Intrepid, give Pici a hand to write a factoid.19:25

spreeHi. I was banned about 2 weeks ago for saying some overtly gross things. This is now the third time I have come here to ask for an unban. What i said was gross and inappropriate, I have read the TOS and the rules and all of that, and have been subjected to having what I said repeated over and over for analysis and etc. Look, it's been 2 weeks I'm not going to do it again. Can I be unbanned please?23:43
LjLyou'd know there's nothing called "TOS" or "rules" among the documents that concern behavior in the Ubuntu channels...23:44
spreeLjL, There were numerous documents you had me read23:44
spreethey were given from Ubottu23:45
spreefor example attitude, language, etc23:45
LjLright, none of which were called TOS or rules23:45
spreeLjL, You know what, you're absolutely right, none of them are called TOS or rules.23:45
spreeHowever for the sake of language convenience I called them TOS or rules.23:46
spreeI apologize for my semantic error.23:46
LjLspree: you're unbanned. the fact that you've spent so much time reading those documents means you're supposed to respect them by the letter.23:48
