[00:31] sorry :) [02:13] wätch phix [02:29] [03:28:12] phix: you said that several minutes ago... tell us when you're actually going to stop trolling, ok? [03:28:37] LjL: sure, as soon as Jaunty works I will :) <-- i don't think he gets it [02:41] LjL: fyi, jaunty is now the default release, so there *should* be no need to specify it for !info [02:41] Pici: i know that *should* be the case, but since the person was asking about that specific version (which i remember is in jaunty), and that happened to *not* be the case, i'd probably have DDoSed the bot. so, better safe than sorry. [02:42] LjL: Just trying to be helpful :) [02:55] !amarok [02:55] Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS).

[02:56] :) [02:56] Pici: well, have to say specifying what the latest version of a given package is in a factoid doesn't seem very much like a good idea to begin with [02:57] ubottu: forget amarok [02:57] I'll forget that, Pici [02:57] LjL: agreed [02:57] Pici: but, it was there because back then amarok would often have newer releases packaged on kubuntu.org instead of backports [02:58] It was the equivalent of !foo is foo is a package for Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com and http://www.ubuntu.com/foo [06:51] xrex for real? or just annoying [06:55] NEWS - HOT GIRLS - http://www.moneyorbeauty.blogspot.com/ <--am guessing this is him [06:58] ok that is sparking my curiousity [06:59] * jdong activates a private browsing session [06:59] oof [06:59] ok they're PG to PG-13 rated pictures of prominent models.

[12:58] oh actually, zyga was on only 2 days ago [13:00] dpm, if the topic change isnt stupendously urgent, could you try instead to get hold of zyga? memoserv might be the best way [13:01] what was the topic change you were after, anyway?

[13:08] ok, I can change it. What maximum length would you suggest? [13:10] the other option is to create a landing page on the wiki [13:10] if there is not one already [13:12] so it'd be "Welcome to the Ubuntu Translators channel! | A list of Ubuntu Translation teams can be found at | We use Launchpad Translations (Rosetta) | Howtos, FAQ and Contact info is at [13:14] much shorter and easier to follow, especially for those who are slow readers of english [13:14] "nobody reads the topic anyway" [13:14] and there is that [13:16] elky: ok, changed it as suggested -> Welcome to the Ubuntu Translators channel! | A list of Ubuntu Translation teams can be found at https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/ubuntu-translators | We use Launchpad Translations (Rosetta) https://translations.launchpad.net | Howtos, FAQ and Contact info is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TranslatingUbuntu [13:19] Yes, but even if no one reads the topic, you can always point people to it when they are asking something already answered there, and you can click on the links on the topic instead of having to actually find them [13:19] factoids [13:19] !staff | can we have ^^ put as topic of #ubuntu-translators please. dpm will chase up zyga himself [13:19] can we have ^^ put as topic of #ubuntu-translators please. dpm will chase up zyga himself: Hey nalioth, jenda, rob, SportChick, seanw, Dave2, Christel, tomaw, Gary, Vorian, PriceChild or stew, I could use a bit of your time :) [13:20] Myrtti, -ENOBOT [13:20] they don't have a bot?

The combination AltGr+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [14:58] LjL: US Keyboards don't have an AltGr key, do we need to even include that? Don't you need to press alt(gr) to invoke all sysrq commands? [14:59] Pici: yes, but someone who doesn't know about sysrq commands won't know that to begin with, will they...? and if on the other hand they know about magic sysrq, they'll already know about K. [14:59] !sysrq [14:59] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B.

The combination Alt[Gr]+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [14:59] I'll remember that Pici [15:00] Pici: will left alt work on US keyboards? [15:00] LjL: yes [15:00] works on UK ones [15:00] Pici: then drop the gr, i never knew left alt would work at all [15:01] !sysrq is SPELL CASTING [15:01] dontzap =~ s/\[gr\]// [15:01] In #ubuntu-ops, ikonia said: !sysrq is SPELL CASTING [15:01] I'm only kidding [15:01] is sysrq always on printscreen? [15:01] Usually [15:02] If its not, then too bad. [15:02] LjL: should be yes [15:04] factoid test failed [15:09] anyone about to help in #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat ? [15:10] popey: Whats the topic of the moment there? [15:10] isn't it still an hour to ago? [15:10] yeah [15:10] just making sure someone is around [15:13] somerville is opped, that hurts my eyes. it's like kryptonite. [15:13] * genii hands LjL the welding goggles [15:41] popey: yup [15:41] thanks [15:41] LjL: naughty [15:52] Was the translators thing sorted out? [15:53] Pricey: what? [15:54] nm [15:54] Pricey: the topic has still not been changed [15:55] I mean, as far as I can tell, the -translators thing has not been sorted out [15:56] I will contact zyga to request operator status, but I'll have to do this later on today or tomorrow [15:57] My attempt just failed, gimme a sec and I'll change it properly. [15:57] As I said, this is nothing urgent, just let me know if I can help in any way [16:21] nagraaj: hi, what's up ? how can we help ? [16:22] i want help with wifi connection [16:22] i created an ad-hoc wifi connection [16:22] nagraaj: if you join #ubuntu - you should be able to get support [16:22] @bansearch nagraaj [16:22] No matches found for nagraaj!n=chatzill@123.50.177.135 in any channel [16:23] nagraaj: if you type "/topic" you can see what this channel is all about [16:25] nagraaj: is it working ?

He'll want to know where that $2m went [17:29] Hmm.. Can someone look at ewet's /lastlog in #ubuntu and tell me if you think its on-topic for #ubuntu or not? [17:30] I would like to know where that $2m went myself [17:30] hahaah, loving sabdfl right now... [17:30] [19:24:57]

QUESTION: A lot of Ubuntu developers are on identi.ca. Do you have an account, and if not, would you create one and start using it? [17:30] [19:25:08] i have one but i forgot the password [17:30] heh [17:30] I don't even have a Kubuntu t-shirt, you think $2m would at least get me a t-shirt [17:31] nixternal: Or a mug [17:31] right [17:31] stingie bastard :p [17:31] * jussi01 sniffs... just want to go to UDS [17:31] nixternal: Maybe riddell got all the t-shirts and mugs [17:31] Ive got stickers ner ner ner... [17:31] :P [17:31] dude, he so did, but had to return them after the photo shoot at UDS, that is the honest to god truth, I was there [17:31] Just show up [17:32] Thats pretty much what I did. [17:32] can you believe that? couldn't even keep his own freakin' swag [17:33] sigh... I hate geographically restricted content :/ [17:42] jussi01: can you poke ubottu into #ubuntu+1 [17:42] ubottu: join #ubuntu+1 [17:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about join #ubuntu+1 [17:42] Pici: ;) [17:43] jussi01: thanks [17:48] mind giving a ten min mute or somesuch to goshawk, who spammed #ubuntu a little with "test"s? i know why he did that and he should know he shouldn't do that. [17:49] LjL: mind enlightening us? I only see 2 tests. [17:50] Well, 3 tests, but only 2 from goshawk [17:50] Pici: there's a discussion on the italian offtopic channel about bots they have, including my floodbots. this person claimed that #ubuntu won't get you muted if you paste a couple of lines, while #ubuntu-it will (obivously not true, it's the same floodbot code) [17:50] Pici: so when i told him that's not true, he went on to test it in #ubuntu. i told him he shouldn't spam the channel like that, and he said "he was only scientifically testing something" and "nobody complained". [17:51] LjL: I gave him a nudge [17:51] danke. he hardly bothered the channel a lot, but it's the attitude of not caring about spamming a channel. [17:56] ert3 spamming, probably several channels === jdong__ is now known as jdong === jdong__ is now known as j-dizzle === jdong is now known as j-dizzle [18:42] uhm, looking at recent changes on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat , i wonder if we should be listing IRC clients for every existing OS platform. [18:44] jdong spams :( [18:45] I hate trying to get my IRC config back together after the construction crew knocks out the power to all my VM's :) [18:45] * LjL pats the construction crew [18:48] LjL: I should bug D to fix the exploit explanations on colloquy [19:43] LjL: the bots seem broken again, FloodBot2 is only removing exempts, not adding them (FloodBot1 is responding in -proxy-users) [19:50] You guys have so many bad bot issues. Hopefully someone will do a rewrite on them at some point [19:50] only the IRCC has access to the FloodBot source [19:51] ...and the author [19:52] Damn, that sucks. [19:52] Well the author was discussing open sourcing them at one point, only he knows when that might happen though. [19:53] can someone try opping FloodBot1 [19:53] and deoping 2 [19:54] 1 seems to want to do it [19:56] dpm: elky: topic changed [20:02] I can't access #ubuntu because the floodbot(s) in #proxy isn't setting an exempt.

[20:20] blizzkid: best to ask in #ubuntu [20:20] k, thx [20:20] FYI, I am going to remove the floodbot's old bans, most of these were probably klined shortly after they were banned. Speak now or forever hold your peace. [20:21] Whoah! Mibbit [20:21] Pici: I dont have an issue with that - its not like we cannot reban if need be [20:21] genii: ? [20:21] jussi01: In #u the bot is going crazy with a bunch of mibbit hostmasks [20:22] genii: That was Pricey [20:22] oh, is that Pricey doing it? [20:22] hehe [20:22] genii: You mean PriceChild's a bot? [20:22] And those were exception removes [20:22] [22:00:09] ban list is full guys [20:22] [22:00:47] I'll sort out +e's [20:22] * jussi01 wonders how many times he can ping Pricey [20:22] Ah, jsu so may in one shot it fooled me into thinking the bot was responsible [20:22] :D [20:23] Hi Saiki, how can we help you today?

[20:24] Flannel: mmhm [20:25] lol [20:25] Pricey:fyi, I have a bash script that will take a list of hostmaks and generate the mode commands grouped into groups of 4 [20:25] happens to the best of us [20:25] Pici: that required effort to write.

[20:27] Pricey: Only sometimes does it insert newlines were they don't belong. And seeming never when I use this and copy from the terminal. [20:28] one of these newlines is not like the others... one of these newlines just doesn't belong...
