[00:03] APERSON called the ops in #ubuntu (michaels_ spamming) [01:49] christmas eve brings out the crazies... [02:23] idd. [02:23] also, happy christmas gordles. [02:24] merrys all around [02:39] * MenZa noddles. [02:41] * mneptok decks the halls with bans of folly [03:11] * MenZa decks mneptok with a blanket. [04:47] iceroot called the ops in #ubuntu (Cornrows) [04:48] jtaji called the ops in #ubuntu (Cornrows) [04:49] jtaji called the ops in #ubuntu (Plankton) [04:54] need ops in #ubuntu please [04:56] Jamed called the ops in #ubuntu (would anyone please ban Plankton) [04:57] !ops | Could someone attend to #ubuntu? [04:57] Could someone attend to #ubuntu?: Help! Channel emergency!

[04:57] MenZa called the ops in #ubuntu-ops (Could someone attend to #ubuntu?) [04:57] Plankton called the ops in #ubuntu (Would anybody please ban Jamed) [04:57] Lovely, thanks KB1JWQ :) [04:57] arghh2d2 called the ops in #ubuntu (arghh2d2) [04:57] Heh, tried, MenZa [04:57] I'll let you clean it up. :-) [04:58] I don't have #ubuntu access [04:58] Jamed: We're aware. [04:58] MenZa: ok, i was wondering why nobody bans him... [04:58] Jamed: As am I. [04:59] Jamed: We've had a shortage of core ops around at these times lately. [04:59] KB1JWQ: Would you care to address the issue here? [04:59] MenZa: so there is nobody around to ban him? [04:59] Trying to figure out who started it, I'm reading my logs now. [05:00] arghh2d2 called the ops in #ubuntu (KB1JWQ) [05:00] So much for that. [05:00] That's a ten minute quiet. [05:00] Jamed: Because we're volunteers in different timezones. Freenode staff are able to resolve situations if they go against Freenode policy. [05:01] KB1JWQ: I recommend a ban on Plankton, without having read everything thoroughly. [05:01] Yeah, staff tends to backstop ops when they're not around. :) [05:01] * MenZa bows deeply to KB1JWQ [05:01] MenZa: i have just never seen that there is no op around [05:01] Yeah, there are a LOT of them in #ubuntu land. [05:02] Jamed: Unfortunately, we've experienced a shortage lately. The IRC Council will be looking into it. [05:02] Worry not; it'll be resolved. [05:03] It's Christmas eve / day though, so.. [05:03] Indeed. [05:04] KB1JWQ: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-irc/2009-December/000829.html [05:04] Jamed: Can we do anything else for you? [05:04] Jeruvy: Hi, can we help you? [05:04] thank you KB1JWQ [05:04] MenZa: no, i'm happy now :) [05:05] Jamed: Excellent! Please note the topic :) [05:05] No worries. [05:05] MenZa: i did [05:05] i am about to leave :) [05:06] KB1JWQ: I've experienced this issue a few times recently. [05:06] Lots of ops tend to dislike it when staff get involved (with good reason!), but stuff like that isn't exactly "grey area." [05:06] Oh, I definitely agree. [05:06] In this case, I would have happily taken the blame upon myself in case anyone complained. [05:07] Right, I'll return to my X-Files Marathon. [05:07] * MenZa wavess [05:07] Thanks, Merry Christmas :) [05:10] No worries. [05:10] Ping me if anything blows up again, I should be around for a few hours. [06:21] rgr seems to be a searchbot [06:26] Ugh. [06:26] How'd you know? [06:26] bazhang: ^^ [06:26] KB1JWQ, saw the !google | m00ey response also in ##linux [06:27] Yeah, I'll boot it out of there. [07:26] Hi [07:27] I was banned a while ago in #ubuntu-offtopic for losing my temper, I am sorry. May I please be allowed back in now? [12:13] test999 called the ops in #ubuntu-proxy-users () [12:31] lstarnes called the ops in #ubuntu (Qiit cross-channel flooding) [12:45] FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (clone flood) [14:03] is Ubuntu CE officially supported? [14:12] the christian edition? afaik no [14:21] okay thanks. [14:21] bazhang: what do you mean by "officially supported2? [14:23] bazhang: this page is helpful ;) http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/derivatives [14:25] jussi01, just checking what psinetic was posting about UbuntuCE , went to their homepage and it seems it is a derivative as your link suggests, thanks [14:25] bazhang: :) [14:30] hehe, I just tried to tab complete my password.... [14:31] haha [19:00] hi kids [19:48] steffan called the ops in #ubuntu () [21:32] guntbert called the ops in #ubuntu (DeadObama) === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:08] guntbert, hi [23:08] Hi, 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] *seriously [23:08] No? [23:09] guntbert: no, its open source, so they can do pretty much what they like with their settings. [23:09] jussi01: yes, but changing essential parts and still calling i ubuntu seems a bit starnge to me [23:10] guntbert: To offer the sort of service they do, they need to make those changes. [23:10] different kernel etc. etc. [23:10] Pricey: Well, they use Xen. [23:10] guntbert: I think this page is where youll find what you need: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy [23:11] jpds: meh sorry, over generalising it [23:11] guntbert: How else would someone log in for the first time if not through root? [23:11] Pricey: I see - but I suppose we will get some weird support questions in the future [23:11] (...to make changes as they see fit?) [23:11] jpds: ? [23:11] jussi01: Hmm? [23:12] jpds: jussi01 the changes are ok - but it worries me that they are not made obvious for the users [23:12] * jussi01 doesnt know the situation, but to me it seems strange they have a root user... [23:14] I'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] jussi01: EC2 does the same thing. [23:15] ok - I'll leave that to you - have a nice time
