[00:35] <usuario> my usb wont mount and my /proc/scsi/scsi is blank
[00:35] <usuario> any advice
[00:35] <Pici> usuario: this isn't a support channel, please ask in #ubuntu
[00:35] <usuario> sorry i got a reference to here
[00:35] <usuario> what is this channel for
[00:36] <Pici> usuario: This channel is for channel operators to discuss issues
[00:39] <usuario> can you recommend a good channel
[09:11] <semitones> wondering if there's any reason not to use port 8001 to connect to irc
[09:12] <Tm_T> semitones: if firewall/router doesn't allow traffic in that port?
[09:12] <semitones> hmm
[09:13] <semitones> I just heard someone tell someone else to get there router updated to protect against dcc, but until then to connect through 8001
[09:13] <Tm_T> yes
[09:14] <semitones> so I wondered if there was a reason not to use 8001 regularly, as I do, but I guess there isn't
[09:14] <semitones> sorry about the spelling
[09:14] <Tm_T> np
[10:30] <wre> "#ubuntu  Cannot send to channel" help!
[10:31] <wre> seems to have been resolved by itself. thanks
[20:18] <erUSUL> damm kids ...
[20:19] <erUSUL> bazhang: just silence him/her
[20:20] <bazhang> guadalinex?
[20:22] <erUSUL> bazhang: right
[20:22] <bazhang> erUSUL, seems to  have gone quiet for the moment I will keep an eye open though
[20:22] <erUSUL> bazhang: i'm talking with her in priv
[20:23] <bazhang> erUSUL, thanks
[20:23] <bazhang> nicely done
[20:24] <erUSUL>  just quit. kids; they just one to flirt online ... ¬.¬
[20:24] <bazhang> hehe
[20:25] <erUSUL> it worries me. kids that young should no be entering irc like this. just airng and requesting his/hers msn acounts and the like
[20:25] <bazhang> true
[20:26] <erUSUL> guadalinex folks should set up a "sandbox" chanel for them or something like that. Pici openen a bug in their launchpad... expresed some of my concerns maybe i should comment further
[20:26] <guntbert> hey, is it only me? I see an increasing number of questions (mainly in #ubuntu) like: "please look at my post in <some obscure forum> or <some obscure website> and tell me how to solve"
[20:27] <erUSUL> or plainly do not install irc by default. msn is enough....
[20:27] <guntbert> to me that is simply annoying
[20:27] <bazhang> dry posts iirc
[20:27] <erUSUL> guntbert: it is alredy annoying when they request you to look into ubuntuforums
[20:28] <bazhang> though we should be discussing this in -irc-helpers probably :)
[20:28] <guntbert> erUSUL: exactly
[20:29] <guntbert> bazhang: ah, is it active yet? I left after seeing only random chatter for a while - will join now
[20:29] <erUSUL> bazhang: yes just let bourocracy get on the way ....
[20:29] <bazhang> well, it'll be active once we join :)
[20:29] <bazhang> erUSUL, :)
[20:31] <erUSUL> this is getting ridicoulus. soon to sort an issue you will have to join 5 channs only to be redirected to a plus five more ... where you will have to join part becouse o well we have no iddling policy here you know
[20:33] <guntbert> I don't want to get into that discussion - for me -helpers seemed to be the first possibility for collegial feedback - but from the mailing list it seems it was not so well accepted by the community
[20:33] <bazhang> erUSUL, here is fine of course
[20:34] <bazhang> any communication is good, imo, wherever it takes place
[20:34] <erUSUL> becouse imho it is duplicating what this (already setted up channel) could be used for
[20:35] <guntbert> erUSUL: about the forums: I attempted to create a factoid (like tellushere, or so ) but never came around, maybe we could make up a proposal
[20:35] <bazhang> like !details ?
[20:35] <guntbert> bazhang: not quite - I want the emphasis on *here* not somewhere else
[20:36] <erUSUL> guntbert: /msg ubottu factoid is <reply>Your text here. the pray to get it accepted :)
[20:36]  * erUSUL misses when ediiting factoids was free for all :P
[20:37] <guntbert> erUSUL: yes I know, but as my first language is german ... I'd like to discuss it a bit
[20:38] <erUSUL> mine is spanish :). that didn't stop me from adding mine ^-^
[20:38] <erUSUL> then you get the warm feeling when it gets used ;P
[20:39] <guntbert> erUSUL: bazhang: in the past I used a line like: please post your question *here* too (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience
[20:40] <erUSUL> another guadalinex kid enters the room ...
[20:43] <bazhang> is usuario_ the same fellow, or just a common nickname? I see him quite often
[20:44] <erUSUL> bazhang: usuario = user. i guess it is the default set in the irc client
[20:44] <guntbert> bazhang: might be like purple for pidgin
[20:44] <bazhang> erUSUL, okay thanks.
[20:44] <bazhang> right, makes sense
[20:45] <guntbert> bazhang: any comments about my (not yet) proposal for a factoid tellithere (name is awkward) above?
[20:47] <erUSUL> too long for a factoid name? just !here   ?
[20:47] <guntbert> erUSUL: good point
[20:48] <bazhang> the factoid name does seem a bit long, the rest is correct grammar and syntax afaict
[20:48] <bazhang> !here
[20:49] <guntbert>  thx - will propose it
[22:29] <m4v> maybe ban-forward them to #ubuntu-es-offtopic?
