[03:37] !uk [03:37] Join us for a discussion using the Queen's English in #ubuntu-uk [03:40] !ca [03:40] Canadian Ubuntu users can be found in #ubuntu-ca [03:41] Isn't it #ubuntu-ca-qc ? [03:43] Nope [06:08] hello, i found a bad line in ubottu's output... i typed "@lart ubottu for some reason"... and got some impolite thing. [06:08] I think this line should be removed from ubottu's database: "ubottu pours hot grits down the front of Gryllida's pants", since some members of channel may be say 7 years old, or just me doesn't like it [06:10] what do you think about it? [06:12] * persia ponders if ubottu benefits from @lart and @praise given it's increasingly specialised role [06:15] Gryllida, @lart has a percentage chance of backfiring. It's a feature. [06:16] I think the issue isn't with @lart backfiring, so much as interpretations of the language used in @larts [06:17] * persia may be overinterpreting [06:17] but.. channel guidelines, "members should respect each other", while that line is entirely offensive in my opinion... i don't mind having ubuntu "replaced" with vista, but this one is really odd [06:18] Are you familiar with the LART concept, or just using a command that you've seen others use to make the bot do stuff? [06:18] I am familiar with the command, yes. [06:19] So you're aware LART stands for "Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool". [06:19] I know, but Ubuntu is widely used in educational purposes in Africa, children might come to #ubuntu-bots , and see that bad thing [06:20] very unlikely [06:21] Gryllida, then you'd best not utilise the LART plugin in #ubuntu-bots [06:22] it is very scientific. now I know what AOL, emacs are [06:24] I also learned about "reverse polish notation" and "Total Perspective Vortex"... [06:24] and so on, but this is off topic. just I wanted to say about that odd line? [06:25] Well you've expressed your opinion on the matter. I'm sure the bot admins will note it when they wake or whatever. Thanks. [06:26] Thanks for attention. Good-bye. [06:28] Now why is it I recall that nick... [06:31] Was in either here or -irc recently about stuff. [06:31] Oh. Right. BobGreenwill [06:31] Oh right. [06:32] The joker pretending to be a bot then blaming the pretending to be a bot on some random housemate installing viruses in his chatzilla. Or something like that. [06:32] hi [06:33] please someone keep an eye in #ubuntu, user trouble [06:33] Hi? [06:33] Ok. [06:34] I can't quite grasp using something one knows as a "Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool" and expecting it to be "respectful" though... [06:34] I must be blind but I can't see any user trouble in #ubuntu [06:35] Myrtti: Just some friction with indus and perscitus [06:35] Myrtti, persicitus. Not giving info then telling people off for trying to help [06:35] perscitus must be the user but.... [06:35] someone needs to take indus aside for his daily cluebatting though [06:36] perscitus does kinda need an attitude readjustment too. [06:48] how much is 254^2? *calculates* [06:48] 64516 : bc is your friend [06:48] I'm tempted to do a ban on 95.66.* [06:49] it would affect only... 64516 possible users... [06:49] but so far I've seen only onjoin spambots from there [06:50] other opinions welcome [06:52] right, time to get crackin. Need to finish off my cleaning and packing. [06:54] Myrtti: That includes bunches of different AS registrations. I suspect there's something narrower you want. [06:55] http://www.robtex.com/bnet/95.66.html [06:55] I know there is, but I've not yet found out how to do bans to such ip address spaces [06:57] Hrm. Seems to be a glob match against a string with no interpretation :( [06:57] indeed [06:57] Which bugtracker tracks this stuff? [06:58] which stuff, bans or how to ban? [06:58] The software that interprets our bans. [06:59] (which would need to be taught about CIDR notation for IP ranges. [06:59] I guess http://dev.freenode.net/ircd-seven/report [07:01] * persia can't figure out how to file a bug :( [07:02] perhaps you can't... [07:03] anyway, I need to start or I'll board the plane in my pajamas holding a toothbrush [07:03] Have a good flight. [07:03] it's not due for another 14 hours, but I've not packed yet :-D [07:04] Where's Myrtti going? [07:04] UK and from there to Silicon Valley [07:04] persia: Login first. [07:04] Myrtti: Oooh. Have a good flight! [07:04] I'll be waving as you go over Denmark! [07:04] MenZa: first ryanair and then next week virgin atlantic in coach :-/ [07:04] owowowowow [07:05] I despise RyanAir. [07:05] * Myrtti has stashed up on painkillers [07:05] I don't know Virgin well, but RyanAir are baaad [07:05] oh, but for me it's the best way of going to where I am going, both airports are close [07:05] * MenZa nods [07:05] I'm just 194cm tall, and Ryanair don't really have that much leg room... [07:05] and with the amount of flying I do to UK... [07:05] hehe [07:06] I'm just a stump, 163 [07:06] MenZa: What are my authentication credentials? [07:06] persia: Good ... question [07:06] anyway, in hopes that the flight isn't canceled due to lack of petrol or refueling staff, I need to start this days errands. [07:06] persia: Ask in #freenode? [07:07] Myrtti: Enjoy. If we speak before you go, see you then. If not, have a good flight. :) [07:07] * persia isn't sufficiently motivated and hasn't slept for too many hours to follow a long track right now [07:08] grumble [07:08] Im trying to work out what of oOo I have running... :( [07:09] jussi01: ooffice --version? [07:09] Or Help -> About! [07:09] MenZa: no... no... [07:09] whut [07:09] ps axu | grep oo [07:09] ? OpenOffice.org running! ? [07:09] ? ? [07:09] ? OpenOffice.org is running right now. A running OpenOffice.org makes extension (de-)registration not possible and it causes problems with ? [07:09] ? (de-)registering components. [07:09] ? Please close OpenOffice.org (including an eventually running Quickstarter). [07:09] Oh, ow. [07:10] Myrtti: did that already, I cant find anything [07:10] then you have a lockfile somewhere [07:10] oo...lock files?! [07:10] Configuring openoffice.org-emailmerge...

A running OpenOffice.org makes extension (de-)registration not possible and it causes problems with (de-)registering components. Please close OpenOffice.org (i..." [Undecided,Invalid] [07:11] MenZa: yeah, some. however we need to get through this cycles stuff first [07:12] jussi01: I might try and attend UDS for that and my GRUB boot plans. [07:12] Belgium should be close enough for that. [07:13] I hate you people, you're giving me a reason to procrastinate [07:13] *ngh* [07:29] :P [07:29] <3 you too, Myrtti :)= [08:20] good morning [08:21] morning dholbach [08:23] hi knome [08:30] Myrtti: Just let him rant; we've already exhausted our options with him. He's presented his case, and I should say it's now up to the LoCo to discuss it further. [08:30] Morning dholbach [08:30] hi MenZa [08:31] ......... [08:31] Myrtti: ...... indeed! [08:32] dholbach: Sorry to bother you about this, but what on *earth* is so evil about the German LoCoteam? [08:32] * MenZa sighs. [08:33] what are you talking about? [08:33] you sound a bit frustrated [08:33] dholbach: have a read back on the -irc logs [08:33] dholbach: /w 22 [08:33] err. [08:33] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/03/02/%23ubuntu-irc.html [08:33] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/03/03/%23ubuntu-irc.html [08:33] MenZa: has been doing an amazing job in there [08:33] can you give me a brief summary? [08:34] ^^ [08:35] dholbach: GPenguin is not happy with the "elitist" conduct he describes goes on in -de, rants in -irc for a while yesterday, eventually writes a great, down-to-earth summary to -de@lists (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-de/2010-March/019860.html), seems to have moments of clarity, and several moments of ranting [08:35] I think the situation calls for classical music, or I'll start breaking plates [08:35] Myrtti: Classical music it is! [08:36] I dont get the whole aspergers thing... ? [08:36] he thinks it's a good description of the people [08:36] its sad that things like this come out: [10:29:12] i think asperger syndrom is in fact an asshole syndrome [08:37] He's already admitted to being a schizophreniac. *shrug* [08:37] the mail that you quote is a bit weird because he talks about all kinds of stuff and not exclusively about the tone in german irc channels [08:38] dholbach: I noticed [08:38] but interests of ubuntu fans, how to get involved, and all the rest of it [08:39] the best way forward to me looks like isolating the various issues and having a chat about what works and what doesn't work on IRC [08:39] get the German LoCo team admins/contacts involved and if that doesn't work, maybe ask the LoCo Council and IRC Council for advice [08:39] We had a rather long discussion in -irc yesterday, which seemed to yield some results. It was suggested he took it up with the mailing list, which he's done [08:39] it doesn't make sense to have a long and convoluted debate about everything because you loose almost everybody along the way [08:40] right, but the thread doesn't seem to go anywhere [08:40] leche also agreed to add the attitude problem to the next -de-ops meeting [08:40] and is about the "world and everything" right now :) [08:40] MenZa: ah super [08:40] that sounds good to me [08:40] yeah [08:40] and there's a clear line how to escalate further if that doesn't yield any results [08:40] and we have lots of people with lots of experience around [08:40] which is good [08:40] All in all, I left the meeting yesterday with a very, very good feeling in my stomach that this would be resolved. [08:41] I'm still positive it will! :) [08:41] ROCK! That's how we like it! :) [08:41] * dholbach goes to the other part of the building to fetch a coffee - the kitchen in the part where my office is is not set up yet :) [08:42] ouch [08:42] * MenZa slides dholbach a large thermos [08:42] MenZa: to be fair it's a 1 minute walk if you're in a hurry, 2 minutes if you have an old dog you have to wait for :) [08:42] still! [08:42] I find walking downstairs is bad sometimes. ;) [08:43] haha [08:43] see you in a bit :-) [08:43] \o [10:46] niko: laurelin hit #ubuntu [10:46] whoa floodbot pre-emptively banned the spammer [10:46] not pre-emptively [10:52] niko: andeana too [11:52] hi, I'm trying to join #ubuntu but it says I'm banned?

[12:02] Myrtti: no, I've never had problems joining #ubuntu [12:05] and I've never done any of these issues [12:17] rodger238@76.73.16.26 maxo that's you correct? [12:28] cgi-irc?
