ubottuDear $DEITY, Give me strength to understand and work with users who question my logic, the rules, netiquette, and common sense. Give me resilience to teach them the basics of Linux, Ubuntu, Community Guidelines and IRC. Allow me not to stray to nitpicking, argument, foul language, or leisurely op abuse. Deliver me my daily xkcd, User Friendly, LWN, /. and Planet Ubuntu, and guard over my encrypted drives. Let it be so.08:01

ubottunbr aliases: unbr - added by Mez on 2009-08-25 22:19:5411:44
jussi01!nbr11:44
ubottunbr is Ubuntu Netbook Remix11:44
Mezwhy is that useless?11:46
jussi01Could you explain the point of it to me? I cant actually see one, except for perhaps explaining an acronym, which isnt very helpful11:46
jussi01especially as it is UNR...11:47
Mezjussi01: because people tried to use !nbr to explain what nbr meant11:47
Mezjust remove it if you don't like it.11:48
jussi01Mez: if you are going to have a factoid that tells something like that, you need to include a link to the product, and a breif explanation of it. not just a name.11:48
* Mez snaps to attention11:48
topylijust change it to "UNR is a more resource hungry and desktop space hogging, useless interface to make your computer look a bit like the iPhone."11:50
jussi01great, Im glad you are paying attention ;) This is important for everyone that we have sane factoids, they are seen by many users as operator approved explanations for things, and we need to make sure they are not only correct but useful also.11:50
topylior maybe not :)11:50
bazhanghehe11:50
Priceybazhang: wrong12:50
bazhangPricey, ??12:51
bazhangthat was clearly offtopic.12:51
PriceyCheck out the factoid.12:51
bazhangI know the factoid.12:51
Pricey!best-#ubuntu-offtopic12:52
ubottuError: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)12:52
PiciIf its *discussion* the person is looking for, the bots aren't going to be of much use.12:52
bazhangasking which is better , ubuntu or vista , offtopic. Don't see how that was a wrong call on my part Pricey .12:53
Priceybazhang: I was referring to your pointing to #ubuntu-offtopic12:54
bazhangPricey, indeed.12:54
bazhangPricey, please suggest a more suitable candidate for offtopic discussion such as above.12:54
Pricey!best12:55
ubottuUsually, 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.12:55
bazhangthat would be suitable for which is the best media player, etc.12:56
IdleOneMorning I just received an email informing me of my application to the ubuntu-irc op team. Would it be possible to know when I applied for it?13:31
IdleOneI can't seem to find that info13:31
PriceyIdleOne: 4/5/0913:34
IdleOnethat is month/day/year?13:34
Priceyday month year13:34
IdleOnePricey: I did not apply for that13:35
PriceyIdleOne: You did.13:35
IdleOnePricey: ok my account may have but /I/ did not13:35
PriceyIdleOne: Ok?13:35
IdleOnejust saying13:35
IdleOneI will change password13:36
IdleOnethank you for your help :)13:36
PriceyOk13:36
PriceyNone of us mind at all :)13:36
topyliIdleOne: so do you want to get rid of the team membership? :)13:37
Priceytopyli: He was declined.13:37
topyliah13:37
IdleOneI just do not recall putting in the application13:38
topyliwell what i did was just join the team on launchpad, then waited for approval13:39
IdleOnenot sure why I was declined either but more concerned about not remembering it at all13:39
PiciIt was a while ago..13:40
IdleOneI just received the email this morning13:41
bazhangheh13:41
PiciI mean you requested to join the team a while ago13:41
IdleOnePici: I have been in #ubuntu for almost 4 years. I would remember applying for op, I think13:41
PiciIdleOne: /me shrugs13:41
IdleOnewith some breaks in between13:42
topylimy guess is you just did it on launchpad when not paying attention :)13:42
bazhangnot remembering would be consistent with accepting; given the mental breakdown requisite13:42
topyliaye. i'm sure IdleOne would make the perfect -ot op13:43
IdleOnetopyli: why is that?13:44
topyliIdleOne: just joking, with bazhang's sanity qualifications comment13:44
gnomefreakthis seems a bit backwards13:44
bazhangIdleOne, run if they ask you to op there :)13:45
IdleOnewell if sanity is a qualification then I don't qualify13:45
Myrttiwho, sane?13:45
Myrttime?13:45
topyliheh, not many on -ot do13:45
bazhang!snakepit13:45
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about snakepit13:45
IdleOneI believe topyli can handle -ot13:45
Myrtti*SPOINK*13:45
IdleOne.msg bazhang anyway of knowing why I was declined?13:47
IdleOneyeah13:47
bazhanghehe13:47
IdleOne.msg13:47
IdleOnelol13:47
IdleOnethat is probably why13:47
bazhang!fail13:47
ubottuFAILZ!13:47
IdleOneIdleOne--13:47
IdleOneso is there?13:47
bazhangI am guessing wanting to do it is immediate disqualification on mental grounds :)13:48
IdleOnewell either way, still love ubuntu and the community. I keep on keepin on13:48
PiciAnyone here with some insight on hrhodes in -ot?13:48
topyliIdleOne: if you're not an operator on ubuntu channels, you're unlikely to be a part of the ops team13:49
PiciI'm trying to load up the BT, but its taking its time.13:49
topylithanks pici13:50
bazhangnothing I can see in BT13:51
IdleOnealright well later folks13:51
PiciIdleOne: We generally pick from contributing members of the irc community when we are looking for new operators.13:51
IdleOnePici: contributing in what sense?13:52
PiciIdleOne: Helpful in channels, respectful of our channel guidelines.  Also, we aren't always looking for more ops13:52
IdleOnealright well thank you for all your help13:55
gnomefreakPici: never seen him before i dont think but im concered about the "try to ban me" comment but i will watch for a while13:55

Myrttiwould anyone have objections if I'd ban that hostname on permanent basis on #ubuntu?19:28
jussi01Myrtti: yes, I would. Its not likely it will be used in #ubuntu and will only fill up the banlist. I expect it was put together forthe purpose of trolling you women.19:32
Myrttijussi01: thanks19:34
Myrttiwould anyone have objections if I'd remove some permanent hostname based bans that are based only on the fact that the hostname is rude and is put together for the purpose of trolling us Ubuntu? ;-)19:35

jussi01Myrtti: my point is, as we made fairly clear the other day that we don't just ban in #ubuntu because of incidents that have happened elsewhere. Now each of those bans you are suggesting need to go under the due process of checking them out and thought of whether they are likely to come back, and if not, remove them.19:40

Myrttias always, I surrender to your unsurpassing wisdom19:41

guntbertHi, is it possible to tell ubottu i want *all* findings (as in find screen) - by default it just gives me 5 ... (and 30 others)19:46
Piciguntbert: The bot currently cannot do that.19:46
guntbertPici: ok, thanks :-)19:47
jussi01guntbert: no. thats what apt-cache search and apt-file search is for :)19:47
Flannelor packages.ubuntu.com19:47
guntbertjussi01: you are right of course - I was only lazy :-)19:47
guntbertbye - and I didn't say "thank you for your work and efforts" recently19:48
jussi01Myrtti: you are right though, some of those old bans do deserve to go, feel free to take a look at and if you feel its right to remove some of them. We can always reban if necessary.19:49
Picitopyli: you know you didnt remove him from the channel, right?20:23
