KB1JWQHeh, tried, MenZa04:57
KB1JWQI'll let you clean it up. :-)04:57
MenZaI don't have #ubuntu access04:58
MenZaJamed: We're aware.04:58
JamedMenZa: ok, i was wondering why nobody bans him...04:58
MenZaJamed: As am I.04:58
MenZaJamed: We've had a shortage of core ops around at these times lately.04:59
MenZaKB1JWQ: Would you care to address the issue here?04:59
JamedMenZa: so there is nobody around to ban him?04:59
KB1JWQTrying to figure out who started it, I'm reading my logs now.04:59
ubottuarghh2d2 called the ops in #ubuntu (KB1JWQ)05:00
KB1JWQSo much for that.05:00
KB1JWQThat's a ten minute quiet.05:00
MenZaJamed: Because we're volunteers in different timezones. Freenode staff are able to resolve situations if they go against Freenode policy.05:00
MenZaKB1JWQ: I recommend a ban on Plankton, without having read everything thoroughly.05:01
KB1JWQYeah, staff tends to backstop ops when they're not around. :)05:01
* MenZa bows deeply to KB1JWQ 05:01
JamedMenZa: i have just never seen that there is no op around05:01
KB1JWQYeah, there are a LOT of them in #ubuntu land.05:01
MenZaJamed: Unfortunately, we've experienced a shortage lately. The IRC Council will be looking into it.05:02
MenZaWorry not; it'll be resolved.05:02
KB1JWQIt's Christmas eve / day though, so..05:03
MenZaIndeed.05:03

MenZaJeruvy: Hi, can we help you?05:04
Jeruvythank you KB1JWQ05:04
JamedMenZa: no, i'm happy now :)05:04
MenZaJamed: Excellent! Please note the topic :)05:05
KB1JWQNo worries.05:05
JamedMenZa: i did05:05
Jamedi am about to leave :)05:05
MenZaKB1JWQ: I've experienced this issue a few times recently.05:06
KB1JWQLots of ops tend to dislike it when staff get involved (with good reason!), but stuff like that isn't exactly "grey area."05:06
MenZaOh, I definitely agree.05:06
MenZaIn this case, I would have happily taken the blame upon myself in case anyone complained.05:06
MenZaRight, I'll return to my X-Files Marathon.05:07
* MenZa wavess05:07
MenZaThanks, Merry Christmas :)05:07

bazhangguntbert, hi23:08
guntbertHi, according to a conversation between fata_erro and  jpds the company www.linode.com change their ubuntu server serioulsy (root password set, no admin group) should ubuntu be informed?23:08
guntbert*seriously23:08
jpdsNo?23:08
jussi01guntbert: no, its open source, so they can do pretty much what they like with their settings.23:09
guntbertjussi01: yes, but changing essential parts and still calling i ubuntu seems a bit starnge to me23:09
Priceyguntbert: To offer the sort of service they do, they need to make those changes.23:10
Priceydifferent kernel etc. etc.23:10
jpdsPricey: Well, they use Xen.23:10
jussi01guntbert: I think this page is where youll find what you need: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy23:10
Priceyjpds: meh sorry, over generalising it23:11
jpdsguntbert: How else would someone log in for the first time if not through root?23:11
guntbertPricey: I see - but I suppose we will get some weird support questions in the future23:11
jpds(...to make changes as they see fit?)23:11
jussi01jpds: ?23:11
jpdsjussi01: Hmm?23:11
guntbertjpds: jussi01 the changes are ok - but it worries me that they are not made obvious for the users23:12
* jussi01 doesnt know the situation, but to me it seems strange they have a root user...23:12
guntbertI'd expext them to say: "you get basically ubuntu 9.10 but with several interesting changes - please visit our friendly forums for suppport"23:14
jpdsjussi01: EC2 does the same thing.23:14
guntbertok - I'll leave that to you - have a nice time23:15
