[00:00] and just what is the point of using PM? [00:00] because [00:00] when people are talking in the main windows when someone says something it moves on the screen [00:00] and make them have to foll that [00:00] follo [00:00] yes, that's a problem with some of the more involved support sessions [00:01] but it's not really a problem in most instances, with proper highlighting [00:01] gnorris: that is not an issue much when you use hilight properly [00:01] if a question can be answered - or at least an answer can be attempted - in one line or two, then please do it in the channel [00:01] im listing to LjL only [00:01] you're listing? [00:02] I guess he meant "listening" [00:02] i hope not [00:02] because that would be very rude of him [00:02] gnorris, are you familiar with the channel guidelines and the Ubuntu Code of Conduct? [00:03] well i dont want to have 2 people talking to me at the same time [00:03] no offence [00:03] it's called an IRC channel. [00:03] and you should listen to operators. [00:03] ok [00:03] !etiquette > gnorris (gnorris, see the private message from ubottu) [00:03] please check these [00:03] especially the guidelines and CoC [00:04] rejoin #ubuntu when you're pretty sure you're ready and willing to follow them [00:04] ok [00:04] look [00:04] if i ask a person if they would like to solve the problem in im and they accept [00:04] * Tm_T assumes gnorris isn't in 50 different channels like me these days [00:07] gnorris: ... any op will immediately think you intend to give them dangerous commands or break into their system, or something like that. [00:07] what? [00:07] unless there seems to be proper reason to that ofcourse [00:08] gnorris: that's what one is lead to think when someone spams the channel with "does anyone need help?" messages, and then "i'll PM you help" to anyone who asks. [00:08] Ok well im sorry it seamed like that sorry for the inconveince [00:08] but i have one question [00:08] How do you become an operator [00:08] the guidelines talk about that part too. [00:09] can you give me a link [00:09] i did. [00:09] [01:03:44] !etiquette > gnorris (gnorris, see the private message from ubottu) [00:09] ok [00:09] [01:03:46] please check these [00:09] [01:03:50] especially the guidelines and CoC [00:09] ok [00:10] he [00:10] hea [00:11] Is it ok for me to become an operator if i understand the rules and guidelines, and can i stay in as an operator for whenever im on the chat? [00:12] no, you don't become an operator by asking - as the guidelines explain. [00:12] please read them. [00:12] come back if you've got more questions *after you've read them*. [00:12] i cant find them [00:12] !etiquette [00:12] Unsure how you should behave on this channel?

[08:32] bazhang: yup [08:32] i was just testing "is" with the bot and accidentally entered "! operator is channel operator" is there anything inappropriate about this? [08:32] Inappropriate? what? [08:33] No, nothing inappropriate. [08:33] oh, thought this might show up somewhere on the list of requests [08:33] Yeah, it shows up here. [08:34] Wouldn't be the first time someone has accidentally done something like that [08:34] Flannel: erh, wait a second, I assume u r a human? [08:34] ? [08:34] Flannel: I mean, not a bot? [08:34] jzmer: You'd have to ask ikonia that. I'm not self aware yet. [08:35] debatable [08:35] flannel is human yes [08:35] jzmer: is there anything you actually need/want ? [08:36] ikonia: just need to make sure if i did anything wrong [08:36] jzmer: nope, no problem [08:37] Flannel: sorry for my doubts, coz i noted u said something like "Hi jzmer, how can we help you?" when I just logged in, so . . .

[10:33] well I was in #ubuntu+1 and it referenced #ubuntu as the support channel instead of #ubuntu+1 [10:34] I only work here! [10:34] anyway to have ubottu reference ubuntu+1 as a support channel as well? [10:35] wth [10:35] hope thats not confusing to you guys [10:36] nhasian in +1 [10:37] bazhang→ him and another was having a OT conversation when I called the offtopic tag (!ot) it referenced as if we were in ubuntu, not ubuntu+1 [10:37] hope that makes sense, its late here [10:38] sebsebseb, for some reason 20 year old girls wont give you the time of day if you tell them your over 30, but if your 27 then its go time [10:39] oh yeah [10:40] spank him [10:40] spank him hard [10:40] that is beyond offtopic imo [10:40] well beyond [10:40] bazhang→ yeah I agree [10:41] kb'able imo [10:41] not quite [10:41] if persistant, yes. but not straight off. [10:41] thefeds now ranting about not wanting to install ubuntu because it promotes religion; am going to remove if he continues [10:43] where?

[12:46] yays [12:46] i'll bring it out next time i want to be asked what DE i run [12:46] ah [12:47] plus, i never used 'elky' on OFTC, and maintaining multiple nicks is annoying [12:49] elky it is [12:50] anyway, i'm going to pike early. want to go shoe and chair shopping tomorrow [12:55] oooh shoe [12:55] any reason to allow thefeds access to continue trolling? [12:56] not any more, he's had enough warning [12:56] first it was root autologin, then ubuntu is promoting religion, now put cigarettes in with every cd... [12:58] next stuffup, please ban him to kingdom come [12:58] okay elky [12:58] it's an issue - he's a cloaked user since 2008 november, yet chose to use multiple non-cloaked nicks to be an issue [14:18] err seamonkey is not a chatzilla irc client? [14:18] apparantly it is ? [14:19] hehe [14:19] mozilla-chatzilla in the repos [14:19] looks like a pizza topping :) [14:20] ha [14:20] sebsebseb seemed to be improving, but is getting back to old ways again imo [14:20] elky: that was pretty gratuitous really. [14:21] ie telling everyone that it is *him* and *him* alone that triggered the bot (thus due the thanks) [14:21] I know I know, I'm speaking to him [14:21] LjL, the mailing list? [14:21] I'm trying to cut him slack as his social illness can be hard to control [14:21] bazhang: mhm [14:22] that convo got too meta for me [14:30] * genii sips [14:36] !lvm [14:36] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [14:36] that wiki page is broken, does anyone know where it ended up? in a metro train, under a bridge?

[15:14] But-- [15:14] but, nothing [15:14] no. [15:14] Never? [15:14] bye bye. [15:14] next time you don't do death treaths [15:14] ... on the next channel you join [15:14] which won't be #ubuntu [15:14] I didn't make any death threats here did i [15:15] who cares whether you did them here or elsewhere [15:15] you did them [15:15] I learned my lesson now though :( [15:15] bit too late [15:15] Errietta, please part the channel now. [15:15] Fine. [15:15] Im not gonna argue about it [15:15] its ur choice [15:15] bye. [15:15] :( [15:16] OK.... [15:16] thought he was a ubuntu-wide ban [15:16] ie all namespace [15:16] #ubuntu-ops isn't part of "all namespace" bans for what i'm concerned [15:16] not here. [15:17] kubuntu, xubuntu, etc etc [15:17] well she's nowhere else currently [15:17] so far [15:17] what if i promise ill be nice [15:17] NO [15:17] no. [15:17] Just one more chance [15:18] Ok i get it [15:18] Bye [15:18] Errietta: you've had your fair share of chances. [15:18] bye. [15:18] death threats dont get another chance. [15:18] i wont bother u here either. [15:18] bazhang: neither does having a shitload of bantracker entries, for that matter [15:18] [16:18:32] I WAS GOING TO LEAVE [15:18] [16:18:33] U know what [15:18] so far [15:18] [16:18:47] if u dont give ppl chances [15:18] [16:18:50] they wont give u a chance [15:19] [16:19:02] is that another threat? [15:19] [16:19:05] no [15:19] [16:19:10] im just saying [15:19] [16:19:13] it's a fact of life [15:19] how is he still even allowed on freenode [15:19] [16:19:34] W/e [15:19] klines arent permanent [15:20] @mark #ubuntu-ops Errietta Seems like another threat to me. [15:20] The operation succeeded. [15:21] zloy got a longer one for posting goatse and trolling -women [15:23] still pm'ing me [15:23] after being told a number of times to stop [15:25] now he is pm'ing me :( [15:25] Errietta: stop sending unwanted private messages to people. [15:26] stop it NOW. [15:26] What was the last time someone asked you to be your friend [15:26] If you say "10 years ago" or "never" obviously there's something wrong with the way you treat people [15:26] death threats preclude that. [15:26] I'm not a bad person [15:26]
