| elky | * FloodBot3 removes exempt on emme!n=45c8ed67@gateway/web/flash/eris.tuxhacker.org/x-e30a8b2c7c32e665 <- oh really now? | 07:57 |
| Myrtti | ikonia: where? | 07:57 |
| ikonia | Myrtti: he's in gentoo now | 07:57 |
| Myrtti | oh, ok | 07:57 |
| elky | ikonia, correct me if i'm wrong, but the princess of propaganda *knows* full well she's banned from #u, yes? | 07:58 |
| ikonia | hand on heart I don't know. I assume so | 07:59 |
| elky | * emm (n=45c8ed67@gateway/web/flash/eris.tuxhacker.org/x-92210c1243a79951) has joined #ubuntu-devel | 07:59 |
| elky | wth is she up to now? | 08:00 |
| Myrtti | it isn't her, it's her one-armed sister | 08:00 |
| ikonia | there is no active ban in #u | 08:00 |
| elky | she was actually in #u twice simultaneiously | 08:00 |
| elky | ikonia, not even on her cloak? | 08:00 |
| ikonia | her cloak has changed, but no | 08:01 |
| tsimpson | not that I can see either | 08:01 |
| elky | wth, since when? | 08:01 |
| ikonia | the only one that remains is #kubuntu-devel as hobbsee holds firm | 08:01 |
| elky | who on earth removed them from #u? | 08:02 |
| ikonia | looks ike there has not been one there for a while | 08:04 |
| elky | i remember there being one there very recently | 08:05 |
| ikonia | I think that was the fix-your-connection one | 08:05 |
| elky | might be the -ot one i'm recalling | 08:05 |
| ikonia | she came in and had that removed as her connection was stable | 08:05 |
| ikonia | then there was an issue in -ot with popey with $someone pm'ing club-ubuntu links again | 08:06 |
| ikonia | or 0uk | 08:06 |
| ikonia | or -uk | 08:06 |
| jussi01 | iirc we made an agreement she could be in #ubuntu, but not -ot | 08:07 |
| ikonia | ah, the memory man cometh | 08:07 |
| jussi01 | and did anyone else notice bigfuzzyj enter and leave -ot? is he still banned from there? | 08:07 |
| ikonia | don't know who he is | 08:08 |
| elky | ikonia, there was a troll from club in -women last night | 08:08 |
| elky | well, had been lurking around for about a week, but started asking creepy questions such as if girls like beards and how many in the channel were married | 08:09 |
| Tm_T | "just making conversation" | 08:10 |
| elky | Tm_T, what was it he told club? "i was polite and everything" | 08:12 |
| * elky headdesks | 08:12 | |
| UbuntuLOVER | hi | 08:17 |
| UbuntuLOVER | ikonia: | 08:17 |
| ikonia | hello | 08:17 |
| UbuntuLOVER | did you ban me? | 08:17 |
| ikonia | yes | 08:17 |
| UbuntuLOVER | why why why? | 08:17 |
| UbuntuLOVER | i'm a long time ubuntu user | 08:18 |
| UbuntuLOVER | I want to install opera on my ubuntu comp, and you ban me? | 08:18 |
| ikonia | because you keep asking which debian release is closest to ubuntu - I have asked you to stop many times, you didn't I removed you from the channel- you came back in and asked straight away | 08:18 |
| ikonia | you then changed your nickname to try to get around the ban | 08:18 |
| UbuntuLOVER | I asked straight away as we are all told to. "Don't ask to ask. Just ask" | 08:18 |
| ikonia | UbuntuLOVER: don't play dumb, you say me ask you twice to stop asking | 08:19 |
| ikonia | UbuntuLOVER: you also saw me remove you and ask again | 08:19 |
| UbuntuLOVER | ikonia: at first i thought it was a glitch. | 08:19 |
| ikonia | UbuntuLOVER: I know you saw me asking as you responded and told me to look at the list | 08:19 |
| UbuntuLOVER | ikonia: | 08:19 |
| UbuntuLOVER | yes, did you see the list? | 08:19 |
| ikonia | UbuntuLOVER: I'm not discussing this - I'm discussing your lack of ability to follow polite requests | 08:20 |
| UbuntuLOVER | what's your request? | 08:20 |
| ikonia | and this is not the first time you've asked about this debian / ubuntu versioning | 08:20 |
| ikonia | UbuntuLOVER: my request was to stop asking - they are not the same | 08:20 |
| UbuntuLOVER | ikonia, may i ask another question? | 08:20 |
| UbuntuLOVER | to you. | 08:20 |
| ikonia | please | 08:20 |
| UbuntuLOVER | I would like to install opera repository so that my opera browser would auto-update. What ought one to do? | 08:22 |
| UbuntuLOVER | ikonia: you there? | 08:22 |
| UbuntuLOVER | please what? | 08:22 |
| ikonia | UbuntuLOVER: this is not a support channel, I'm discussing your inability to follow direction in the channel only | 08:22 |
| UbuntuLOVER | ikonia: i see. so what do i do now that you have banned/kicked | 08:23 |
| ikonia | !guidelines | UbuntuLOVER | 08:23 |
| ubottu | UbuntuLOVER: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:23 |
| ikonia | have a read through those | 08:23 |
| ikonia | come back tommorow and we'll look at removing your ban | 08:23 |
| ikonia | @mark | 08:24 |
| ubottu | (mark [<channel>] <nick|hostmask> [<comment>]) -- Creates an entry in the Bantracker as if <nick|hostmask> was kicked from <channel> with the comment <comment>, if <comment> is given it will be uses as the comment on the Bantracker, <channel> is only needed when send in /msg | 08:24 |
| elky | he sounds like fun | 08:24 |
| ikonia | @mark #ubuntu-ops UbuntuLOVER also known as jeancalvin persistantly asks about debian->ubuntu version compariisons | 08:24 |
| ubottu | The operation succeeded. | 08:24 |
| ikonia | elky: a pain to be quite frank | 08:25 |
| * elky rewinds time and encloses that statement in sarcasm tags | 08:25 | |
| ikonia | work time | 08:26 |
| ikonia | elky: I did get you | 08:26 |
| elky | :) | 08:27 |
| tsimpson | ikonia: I think they wanted to know to get the .deb, but that's pretty irrelevant now | 08:27 |
| tsimpson | and opera have Ubuntu .debs anyway | 08:27 |
| jussi01 | cant say Im overly happy about this, but what do others think: | 08:33 |
| jussi01 | [06:20:26] <-- Flare183 (n=Flare183@botters/flare183) has quit ("1f u c4n r34d th1s u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d") | 08:33 |
| elky | jussi01, not happy either. maybe utilise the wonder that is memoserv | 08:35 |
| Flannel | memoserv +1 | 08:35 |
| elky | we really should try use it more often | 08:35 |
| Flannel | Maybe we should use it to send valentines to each other next February. | 08:36 |
| jussi01 | elky: feel free to go and do it, Im just running out for lunch, if nobody has done it by the time I get back, then Ill do it | 08:36 |
| Flannel | Yeah... ignore me. | 08:36 |
| Alagos | !mc | 10:13 |

| Tm_T | Alagos: does its wikipage tell something? | 10:16 |
| Myrtti | there's https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 10:17 |
| Myrtti | certainly some info there | 10:17 |
| Alagos | i`m came from http://ubottu.com/ If you want him to join your channel ask in #ubuntu-ops. it`s mean that you came whith your own bot to the channel whitch invite you? | 10:20 |
| Myrtti | so you want to run your own bot, or do you want ubottu or its clone (run by us) to join? | 10:21 |
| elky | Alagos, what channel? | 10:23 |
| * jussi01 waves | 10:23 | |
| Alagos | i`d like to rum my own bot, if it possible and if you don`t mind | 10:23 |
| Alagos | elky: channel where i`m testing bot is #4ubuntu | 10:24 |
| jussi01 | Alagos: you are free to run your own bot in any channels you own. however, #*ubuntu* channels should only be used for official reasons | 10:25 |
| jussi01 | Alagos: you can ask about our custom plugins in #ubuntu-bots, but for basic supybot items please use #supybot | 10:25 |
| Alagos | jussi01: i`ll change name of channel | 10:26 |
| jussi01 | Alagos: if you have an official ubuntu channel and want a clone, then you ask here, otherwise #supybot | 10:26 |
| jussi01 | :) | 10:26 |
| Alagos | jussi01: i am use supybot already | 10:26 |
| jussi01 | Alagos: well then Im sure you know how to add plugins, thats all ours are | 10:27 |
| Alagos | jussi01: thank you | 10:27 |
| jussi01 | no probs. | 10:27 |
| jussi01 | Alagos: anything else we can help you with?= | 10:27 |
| Alagos | jussi01: you already helped enough. thank you | 10:29 |
| jussi01 | !idle | Alagos | 10:29 |
| ubottu | Alagos: Please keep in mind that this channel is for operator/abuse questions only; we ask you to part when you have no further business here in order to keep track of users with pending inquiries. | 10:29 |
| jussi01 | ;) | 10:29 |
| Alagos | see you later | 10:30 |
| elky | well he can stay if he wants to be asked a hundred times a day where he's banned from :P | 10:31 |
| Flannel | sigh | 10:31 |
| Flannel | why are people being stupid tonight | 10:31 |
| elky | Flannel, checked the moon phase? | 10:31 |
| jussi01 | Flannel: its not just tonite | 10:31 |
| Flannel | elky: It's half! | 10:31 |
| Flannel | jussi01: I know | 10:31 |
| Flannel | jussi01: but... | 10:31 |
| jussi01 | did someone memoserv flare? | 10:31 |
| elky | Flannel, ok, so you check the same things i do then ;) | 10:31 |
| Flannel | it makes me feel better to think it's isolated | 10:31 |
| elky | jussi01, dont think so | 10:32 |
| Flannel | I suppose it's mostly related to FF3.5 | 10:32 |
| elky_work | if people want a rolling release, they're welcome to go for gentoo or whatever :P | 10:44 |
| Flannel | debian | 10:44 |
| Flannel | no reason to throw them to the wolves | 10:44 |
| Myrtti | LINUX MINT FOR THE WIN!!!!!1111 | 10:45 |
| elky | except sending an ex-ubuntu person to debian is pretty much the same in terms of callousness | 10:45 |
| elky | especially if they're the beg-for-help type | 10:45 |
| Flannel | elky: Yeah, but at least it keeps them in the family. | 10:46 |
| Flannel | deb has to take over the world somehow, afterall. | 10:46 |
| jussi01 | ikonia: ping | 10:46 |
| Flannel | Save us all from rpms | 10:46 |
| jussi01 | i can just see that in a prayer... "and dear $deity, give us our daily bread, and save us all from RPMs..." | 10:47 |
| elky_work | Flannel, i'd need a new job. my boss is allergic to non-redhat systems :( | 10:48 |
| Flannel | elky_work: I think there's a pill you can take for that | 10:49 |
| elky_work | sh: Linux: command not found | 10:49 |
| Flannel | better living through science and all | 10:49 |

| CKY | what do you mean..? | 11:13 |
| Flannel | CKY: What channel were you attempting to join? | 11:13 |
| tsimpson | you need to change your ident to join #ubuntu | 11:13 |
| jussi01 | CKY: you need to change your ident before you can join #ubuntu | 11:13 |
| CKY | how i do it..? | 11:14 |
| tsimpson | how did you set it? | 11:14 |

| jussi01 | grumbles | 12:18 |
| bazhang | hehe | 12:19 |
| tsimpson | I don't remember there being much interest in the beta's, who would have guessed those two little letters would make all that difference | 12:19 |
| Myrtti | of course they make the difference | 12:20 |
| tsimpson | well, to me, RC1 does _not_ mean "It's finished!!!" ;) | 12:21 |
| Tm_T | tsimpson: for kids it is | 12:21 |
| bazhang | jg_ seems like a t r o l l | 12:41 |

| jpds | ago* | 12:50 |
| Myrtti | bazhang: he might have it installed already | 12:50 |
| bazhang | jpds, strange that he said it installed in just 4 seconds though | 12:51 |
| bazhang | Myrtti, could be | 12:51 |
| jpds | bazhang: Some of us have gig-links ;) | 12:51 |

| elky | if i do it now, it'll be 'too personal' | 14:12 |
| elky | christel, can ircd-7 please have an IQ filter? :( | 14:13 |
| qe2eqe | elky kicked me out of #ubuntu-offtopic over ""Unzip, strip, touch, grep, mount, fsck, fsck, fsck, more, yes, fsck, fsck, fsck, unmount, sleep." | 14:19 |
| Myrtti | GOOD FOR HER! | 14:20 |
| Myrtti | in reality, she didn't | 14:20 |
| Myrtti | she kicked you out, because you showed considerable amount of not understanding the guidelines | 14:21 |
| elky | oh, i thought it was outright refusal to even consider them | 14:22 |
| Myrtti | elky: you'd really know better than me ;-) just a suggestion | 14:22 |
| elky | well he can choose which it was. works for me either way. | 14:23 |
| Myrtti | qe2eqe: so, anyway... what's your point? what part of this do you want to discuss? | 14:26 |
| topyli | qe2eqe: please part this channel if you have no further business. idling is not allowed here | 14:32 |
| qe2eqe | So warm, so kind, so gentle. Thankyou, my happy shepherds. | 14:32 |
| elky | anyone would think i banned him | 14:36 |
| Tm_T | I have whacky moment, I decided to join to #u and #u-ot | 16:03 |
| Myrtti | save yourself | 16:05 |

| UbuntuLOVER | ikonia: hi | 22:11 |

| UbuntuLOVER | please | 22:11 |
| UbuntuLOVER | can someone unban me | 22:11 |
| UbuntuLOVER | please | 22:11 |
| UbuntuLOVER | hello | 22:12 |
| Seeker` | be patient | 22:14 |
| UbuntuLOVER | what should i wait for? | 22:15 |
| UbuntuLOVER | Seeker`: ? | 22:15 |
| Seeker` | it was ikonia that banned you? | 22:16 |
| UbuntuLOVER | Seeker`: yes. | 22:18 |
| UbuntuLOVER | now i'm penitent | 22:18 |
| UbuntuLOVER | i've paid my dues | 22:18 |
| UbuntuLOVER | and am ready to leave the prison | 22:18 |
| UbuntuLOVER | do you have the key? | 22:18 |
| Seeker` | you will have to wait for ikonia to deal with it | 22:19 |
| UbuntuLOVER | do i have to be in irc for the unban to happen? | 22:20 |
| UbuntuLOVER | can he just unban while i'm offline | 22:20 |
| UbuntuLOVER | ? | 22:20 |
| Seeker` | he will probably want to speak to you before he does it | 22:20 |
| UbuntuLOVER | can we set a time? | 22:20 |
| UbuntuLOVER | i don't want to just hang around in this room | 22:20 |
| UbuntuLOVER | can we do so via email? | 22:21 |
| Seeker` | i cant set a time for him | 22:21 |
| UbuntuLOVER | i see his name in the list of people in this room. | 22:21 |
| Seeker` | he isn't active at the moment | 22:21 |
| UbuntuLOVER | can i send him a message while he's inactive? | 22:21 |
| Seeker` | come back in a few hours and see if he is back | 22:21 |
| Seeker` | if not, come back tomorrow sometime | 22:21 |
| UbuntuLOVER | Seeker`: all right. | 22:21 |
| UbuntuLOVER | if you see him here, please give him my regards. | 22:22 |
| UbuntuLOVER | and pass on my message, please. | 22:22 |

| Myrtti | right. | 22:56 |
| ikonia | stew: limcore is now on line - you said to ping you | 23:00 |
| Seeker` | ikonia: ubuntuLover wanted unbanning | 23:00 |
| ikonia | Seeker`: yup saw thank you, told him to come back tommorow so he came back a few hours later | 23:02 |
| ikonia | I'll sort out tommorow | 23:02 |
| stew | ikonia: indeed. thanks. | 23:02 |
| ikonia | stew: thanks | 23:02 |
| pronoy | Myrtti there ? | 23:02 |
| tomaw | is the person responsible for the ubuntu irc logs on your website on irc? | 23:07 |
| Myrtti | pronoy: um, so what do you actually want for a factoid to say? | 23:07 |
| pronoy | Myrtti how to enable the repo and how to solve the most basic problem of getting youtube to work for noobs | 23:08 |
| pronoy | the first timers have repeatedly asked the same questions over and over again | 23:08 |
| ikonia | it's enabled by default | 23:09 |
| * tomaw throws Myrtti something pink in return for contact details of whoever is responsible for those logs | 23:09 | |
| pronoy | ikonia the repos are added but not enabled i am talking about the 3rd party software sources | 23:10 |
| Myrtti | tomaw: #canonical-sysadmin might know better? I don't know | 23:10 |
| ikonia | pronoy: then they are 3rd party and needed adding | 23:10 |
| ikonia | pronoy: it's that simple | 23:10 |
| tomaw | Myrtti: ta :) | 23:10 |
| pronoy | ikonia yes but to explain it 100 times to every new person who comes on board requires a few steps simplified version....so....... | 23:11 |
| Myrtti | pronoy: there's a limit to the length of the factoids | 23:12 |
| Myrtti | pronoy: so we cannot add that *MONSTER* into a factoid | 23:12 |
| pronoy | Myrtti you can edit it or you can just link it to the earlier one | 23:12 |
| ikonia | pronoy: there are wiki pages | 23:12 |
| pronoy | you don't have to display the whole thing !! | 23:12 |
| ikonia | pronoy: just point them at the wiki page | 23:13 |
| pronoy | ikonia yes but they requrire simplification | 23:13 |
| ikonia | pronoy: plus 3rd party repos should have documentation about adding them on their sight | 23:13 |
| ikonia | pronoy: no - it doesn't if you can't follow the process of adding a line to a gui/text file - you should'nt use it | 23:13 |
| pronoy | ikonia: to a basic new user a 3rd party repo holds no meaning whatsoever ..they want to install software or just get started with youtube | 23:14 |
| ikonia | pronoy: they don't need a 3rd party repo for youtube | 23:14 |
| pronoy | ikonia how do you ask them to enable the flash plugin then ? | 23:15 |
| pronoy | download from adobe ? | 23:15 |
| pronoy | all the time > | 23:15 |
| ikonia | install the flashplugin-nonfree package - or follow the guide on the wiki | 23:15 |
| pronoy | ikonia to install that you need to enable the official repo for 3rd party | 23:15 |
| Flannel | !info flashplugin-nonfree | 23:16 |
| Flannel | No info here? | 23:17 |
| ubottu | flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer (transitional package). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10.0.22.87ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 1 kB, installed size 40 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 23:17 |
| pronoy | look all i can say is to a new person its hard to understand what a repo is or how to go about, the wiki pages are good but they do need simplification . You don't have to add that factoid just simplify it so that we don't have to explain it to every noob everytime he's discovering linux | 23:17 |
| pronoy | thats all | 23:17 |
| Flannel | Actually that's transitional, ikonia, new one is flashplugin-installer apparently | 23:17 |
| Flannel | pronoy: You don't need to enable a third party repository for flash, it's in multiverse. | 23:18 |
| pronoy | either way if its not possible (i can understand) i'll direct them to my website where i'll post it | 23:19 |
| pronoy | no problem | 23:19 |
| pronoy | and thanks Flannel | 23:19 |
| pronoy | didn't know that | 23:19 |
| ikonia | pronoy: there you go - no problem then | 23:19 |
| pronoy | thanks for your time ikonia Myrtti | 23:19 |
| ikonia | no need for any other websites | 23:19 |
| pronoy | ikonia Basic issue was how to enable the repos | 23:20 |
| pronoy | the flash thing was secondary | 23:20 |
| pronoy | read the thing first | 23:20 |
| ikonia | pronoy: it's a one line update that is well documented in the wiki | 23:20 |
| pronoy | ikonia ok...another website it is | 23:20 |
| Flannel | ... | 23:20 |
| Flannel | another website? what? | 23:20 |
| ikonia | Flannel: he wanted to have a factoid point at his website - end of discussion, all the other stuff was just justiciation | 23:21 |
| Flannel | ikonia: Gotcha | 23:21 |
| ikonia | stew: you failed to get through | 23:22 |
| stew | ikonia: i'm struggling to, did he join? | 23:25 |
| stew | or is he doing something somewhere? | 23:26 |
| ikonia | stew: #ubuntu-bugs "wait I was PMing about some nonsense ban list on ubuntu" | 23:26 |
| ikonia | stew: same trolling behvaiour in #ubuntu-bugs as #debian #ubuntu etc etc | 23:26 |
| stew | yes, he thinks the ban is nonsense | 23:27 |
| ikonia | yes | 23:27 |
| ikonia | hence why he tried so hard to dodge it | 23:27 |
| ikonia | he was banned for life | 23:27 |
| stew | he is saying it would be trivial to evade | 23:27 |
| stew | but he is clearly understanding that he should not evade it | 23:27 |
| ikonia | he didn't manage very well the other day | 23:27 |
| stew | no, he didn't | 23:28 |
| stew | does someone have handy the nicks he was using the other day? | 23:30 |
| ikonia | I can grab them | 23:31 |
| ikonia | j_f_kenedy | 23:31 |
| stew | right | 23:31 |
| ikonia | gzojw | 23:32 |
| ikonia | and finally rmaj | 23:32 |
| limcore | hello, is it ok to be here to discuss my ban | 23:37 |
| ikonia | limcore: there is nothing to discuss | 23:37 |
| ikonia | limcore: you are banned - you will not be unbanned | 23:37 |
| ikonia | limcore: anything else ? | 23:38 |
| limcore | well, if you are really this childish then ban as well my entire nick so I do not join by accident when not cloacked | 23:39 |
| ikonia | ok | 23:39 |
| ikonia | done | 23:39 |
| limcore | good. this is really mature ;) | 23:40 |
| ikonia | anything else ? | 23:40 |
| stew | ... | 23:45 |
| stew | please continue to keep me informed | 23:45 |
| ikonia | stew: he's gone all quiet now | 23:46 |
| ikonia | stew: now pm'ing me telling me he's going to evade the ban as it will kill my goldfish as I will take it personally ???? | 23:53 |
| stew | 18:56 <limcore> I contacted ikonia to say that Im sorry | 23:57 |
| ikonia | really - more like to tell me he was going to ban dodge and it would kill my gold fish ??? | 23:57 |
| ikonia | he did say sorry after that though to his credit | 23:57 |
| ikonia | but it 's pretty hollow | 23:57 |
| ikonia | almost the exact seconds you join #ubuntu-bugs funny enough | 23:58 |
