| pea[laptop] | can someone unban me | 00:25 |
|---|---|---|
| pea[laptop] | oh hang on | 00:25 |
| pea[laptop] | ok now | 00:26 |
| Pici | pea[laptop]: What channel do you think you're banned in? | 00:28 |
| pea[laptop] | #ubuntu | 00:28 |
| pea[laptop] | why do you think i ask here? | 00:28 |
| Pici | We manage a lot of channels, I'm just checking because I didn't see a ban at first glance. Let me look again. | 00:28 |
| Pici | pea[laptop]: As far as I can tell you are not banned. You were at one point due to your ralname, but nolonger. | 00:33 |
| Pici | Plus you're in there now anyway. | 00:33 |
| Pici | pea[laptop]: Is there anything else we can help you with? | 00:42 |

| KB1JWQ | If I wanted to take a more active role in contributing to the ubuntu project, who would I talk to? And yes, this may be off topic here; mea culpa. | 05:14 |
| bazhang | hehe | 05:15 |
| bazhang | http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate KB1JWQ | 05:15 |
| bazhang | loads of links there :) | 05:16 |
| KB1JWQ | bazhang: Thanks. | 05:16 |
| KB1JWQ | The site's huge; hard to find information there. | 05:16 |
| * persia also likes https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu | 05:16 | |
| bazhang | KB1JWQ, you're welcome; contributing ie coding or something else | 05:16 |
| KB1JWQ | Something else. I can't program for crap, but I can (semi-obviously) contribute IRC time, as well as support across a variety of topics. | 05:17 |
| bazhang | you already contribute a ton imo | 05:18 |
| KB1JWQ | By day I'm migrating 1.2 million email users from one system to another, so my enterprisey knowledge is up there, but as far as desktops go... I get my first Linux desktop in a week or so. | 05:18 |
| KB1JWQ | RedHat based in the past, but Fedora's a crapfest in a lot of ways. | 05:20 |
| KB1JWQ | bazhang: I appreciate tat. | 05:21 |
| KB1JWQ | that* | 05:21 |
| Flannel | KB1JWQ: What sort of contributions are you interested in? | 05:21 |
| KB1JWQ | Flannel: That's the problem. I have no idea what the general needs are. | 05:21 |
| Flannel | KB1JWQ: The way it generally works best is you do something you enjoy ;) | 05:21 |
| KB1JWQ | "How do I tweak my email setup across 200 nodes" isn't exactly commonly asked on IRC... | 05:21 |
| Flannel | KB1JWQ: Maybe answers? Or just documentation I guess? | 05:22 |
| persia | It's more likely to be asked in #ubuntu-server, where people get support for larger deployments. | 05:22 |
| Flannel | KB1JWQ: Write about it, make a wikipage about it, etc? | 05:23 |
| KB1JWQ | persia: I... never knew that existed. | 05:23 |
| persia | heh | 05:23 |
| KB1JWQ | Thanks for the advice. Bedtime here, but I've got something to think about now. :-) | 05:25 |
| ubottu | bazhang called the ops in #ubuntu-offtopic (Surrador) | 05:51 |
| Surrador | I would liike to humbly apologize for being duped into a really bad troll | 06:08 |
| Surrador | i was offered ops in ##politics in exchange for outing racists on channels and getting them banned from freenode | 06:08 |
| elky | I'm not terribly keen on his part message either | 06:10 |
| Madpilot | somehow I don't believe a word of the "offered ops in ##pol" thing | 06:11 |
| Madpilot | although if true, it helps confirm ##politics rep as an absolute cesspit... | 06:12 |
| elky | I wouldn't put it past them, to be honest. | 06:20 |

| dholbach | good morning | 07:48 |
| Madpilot | morning | 07:49 |
| Madpilot | well, not for ten minutes here yet | 07:49 |
| * persia wants the URL for the definition of "good morning" as seen on IRC as being timezone-agnostic | 07:57 | |
| Madpilot | I rather like "good $appropriate-time-of-day" myself, but I like pseudo-code like that :) | 07:59 |
| persia | suihkulokki gave me a URL to a good half-page of rant on the subject, with a detailed analysis of why "Good morning" was always the appropriate greeting despite the time of day. Unfortunately, I can't find it right now. | 08:01 |
| persia | I've generally used "Pleasant diurnal period" or similar to work around it. | 08:01 |

| MenZa | Morning, kkathman | 08:09 |
| MenZa | ahuhr. scrolled up. | 08:10 |
| topyli | i removed cyberbluntz from -ot, apparently he went to complain on #ubuntu | 08:48 |
| topyli | ah hello cyberbluntz | 08:48 |
| cyberbluntz | I want to make a complaint about being kicked out of the OT channel | 08:48 |
| cyberbluntz | A Formal complaint plz | 08:48 |
| persia | cyberbluntz: Rather than making a complaint, the procedure is usually to request to be permitted to join the channel again. | 08:48 |
| topyli | cyberbluntz, you came to the right place | 08:48 |
| cyberbluntz | I feel some people are abusing their privs and misconstruing what people say to meet their own means | 08:48 |
| cyberbluntz | I dont want to talk to you topylia | 08:49 |
| topyli | cyberbluntz, okay. | 08:49 |
| cyberbluntz | Is there someone who will review the log? | 08:49 |
| topyli | for the record, you're not banned and are free to rejoin -offtopic. if your conduct doesn't change, your stay might be short though | 08:50 |
| topyli | -offtopic is not logged | 08:50 |
| cyberbluntz | what about the log on my HD? and I would like to make a formal complaint | 08:50 |
| cyberbluntz | How do I do that? | 08:51 |
| topyli | !appeals | 08:51 |
| ubottu | If you disagree with a decision by an operator, please first pay #ubuntu-ops a visit. If you are still unhappy, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/AppealProcess for the steps you should take. If you feel the need to discuss the channel rules, please contact the ops on IRC or via the email address on the aforementioned page. | 08:51 |
| topyli | however, you're not banned so there's very little to complain about | 08:51 |
| cyberbluntz | Complain about people abusing their powers | 08:51 |
| persia | cyberbluntz: The Appeal Process is the correct form for that. | 08:52 |
| cyberbluntz | I'm sure kicking isnt meant for amusement or somebody whim | 08:52 |
| persia | cyberbluntz: You can complain here, and submit a pastebin of your copy of the logs if you want to be informal, but it sounds like you want a formal process. | 08:52 |
| topyli | cyberbluntz, infortunately idling is not allowed here. if we can't help you further, you should /part the channel | 08:56 |
| topyli | unfortunately, even | 08:56 |
| cyberbluntz | huh? | 09:00 |
| cyberbluntz | ok im out | 09:00 |
| topyli | thanks | 09:00 |

| MenZa | I was already in the channel. | 10:58 |
| Myrtti | that's normal then | 10:58 |

| Crazymethjesus | why am i on this gay channel?? | 12:17 |
| elky | Sure whatever. I see there's no point in trying to discuss if you're likely to behave better than yesterday. | 12:17 |
| elky | Goodbye. | 12:17 |
| * Myrtti feels ashamed for her compatriot | 12:17 | |

| mneptok | we're gay? i didn't get the memo, and am traveling. could someone break the news to my wife in a calm and understanding manner? | 13:36 |
| persia | mneptok: She's known for years. | 13:40 |
| mneptok | persia: unlikely, given my terrible wardrobe and her tolerance of it. | 13:42 |
| * persia is unable to continue the banter in accordance with the standing guidelines | 13:44 | |
| AlienDK | eh | 14:47 |
| Pici | Let me take a look at our records, one moment. | 14:47 |
| AlienDK | ok | 14:47 |
| Pici | AlienDK: Do you remember why you were banned? | 14:50 |
| AlienDK | Not the exact reason. But I was pretty being an asshole or maybe I was offtopic or something. | 14:50 |
| AlienDK | ** pretty == probably | 14:51 |
| AlienDK | hehe | 14:51 |
| AlienDK | typo >.> | 14:51 |
| Pici | AlienDK: Are you aware of our channel guidelines and the purpose of #ubuntu? | 14:57 |
| AlienDK | Well, I guess the purpose of #ubuntu is support for Ubuntu | 14:57 |
| AlienDK | and I'll read the guidelines | 14:59 |
| AlienDK | done | 15:02 |
| Pici | I'd just like to remind you that everyone has their own opinions of what the *best* tool to use for things, and theres no need to force your own ideals on others. | 15:04 |
| AlienDK | I know :( | 15:04 |
| Pici | AlienDK: Please keep that in mind when you're in #ubuntu. If there is a next time, we won't be as lenient. | 15:05 |
| AlienDK | Ok | 15:06 |
| AlienDK | Fair enough | 15:06 |
| Pici | The ban has been lifted. | 15:07 |
| AlienDK | thank you :) | 15:07 |
| persia | If only every ban lifting could be so simple. | 15:07 |
| knome | i'd rather just not have to ban people in the first place ;) | 15:08 |
| MenZa | We'd almost be obsolete. | 15:08 |
| MenZa | heh, yeah | 15:08 |
| MenZa | That would be better. | 15:08 |
| Pici | I have a feeling that we'll be seeing this guy again though :/ | 15:09 |
| MenZa | :\ | 15:14 |
| kkathman | Good day folks | 15:20 |
| cyberbluntz | Hey, why is ubuntu shipping a kismet version from 08?! | 15:32 |
| Mamarok | cyberbluntz: what can we help you with? | 15:34 |
| Pici | cyberbluntz: I think you have the wrong channel, this isn't a support channel. | 15:34 |
| cyberbluntz | umm you can help me with updating the packages? | 15:37 |

| MenZa | SpaceGhostC2C: Don't worry, we've got our eyes on the channel. | 19:08 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | He keeps trolling and being really annoying. I think topyli is on it. | 19:08 |
| MenZa | He is. :) | 19:08 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | I guess I was wondering why it was cool for soa to troll me and others, and not be talked to. | 19:10 |
| topyli | it is not cool, don't worry about it | 19:11 |
| * MenZa snuggles topyli | 19:11 | |

| ubottu | In ubottu, yofel said: plymouth is Plymouth is the boot splash used in Lucid Lynx 10.04, for more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Plymouth | 19:13 |

| Younder | hi all | 22:27 |
| ikonia | hello | 22:27 |
| Younder | I seem to have a issue with rm -r / | 22:28 |
| Younder | the all erasor | 22:28 |
| ikonia | errr ? you do know this is #ubuntu-ops, not #ubuntu | 22:28 |
| Younder | yes, I am sendt here | 22:28 |
| ikonia | why ? | 22:29 |
| ikonia | this isn't a support channel | 22:29 |
| Younder | I am a expert Linux user. using warious Nixen for 20 + years | 22:29 |
| ikonia | so why are you telling us this ? | 22:30 |
| ikonia | eg: what do you need from the operators in this channel ? | 22:30 |
| Younder | disipline ? | 22:30 |
| ikonia | I'm sorry, I'm not following. Do you need anything from the operators ? | 22:31 |
| Younder | no, go on | 22:31 |
| ikonia | if you don't need anything from us, there is a no idle policy on the channel, however you're welcome to rejoin if you do need something from us | 22:32 |
| Younder | well I'm idle | 22:32 |
| ikonia | please don't, unless you need something from us | 22:32 |
| Younder | what do you do? | 22:33 |
| ikonia | in what respect | 22:33 |
| Younder | do you fix stuff? | 22:33 |
| topyli | Younder, were you redirected here from another channel? were you perhaps banned in #ubuntu? | 22:33 |
| Younder | topyli, yes | 22:33 |
| topyli | Younder, do you know why? would you like to fix it? | 22:34 |
| Younder | I made a lude remark on rm -r / and spring cleaning :) | 22:34 |
| ikonia | perhaps mentioning this when I asked if you needed anything would be helpful | 22:35 |
| topyli | that will easily get you removed, yes. also, it's not a very appropriate place for smileys | 22:35 |
| Younder | whatwever. it was ajoke | 22:35 |
| topyli | no | 22:36 |
| Younder | it was! | 22:37 |
| topyli | as you can see, it is not considered a joke on ubuntu channels | 22:37 |
| Younder | you take this all to seriosly. | 22:37 |
| Younder | well it is obvious. To me there is no great revelation. | 22:38 |
| topyli | if you say so. we try and keep the channels safe and nice | 22:38 |
| Younder | And you are aying I am not a safe member? | 22:38 |
| topyli | i'm saying harmful commands are harmful | 22:38 |
| Younder | I have helped over 200 peple so far.. | 22:38 |
| topyli | good | 22:39 |
| Younder | This is my first and my last | 22:39 |
| topyli | that would be nice | 22:40 |
| Younder | look i genuinly appologise for my rm thing. It won't happen again. | 22:41 |
| topyli | i'm wondering why you couldn't join #ubuntu though, i can't find any ban | 22:41 |
| Younder | it's still there | 22:41 |
| ikonia | Younder: what message do you get when you try to join | 22:43 |
| Younder | Cannot join #ubuntu (You are banned). | 22:43 |
| ikonia | found it | 22:44 |
| ikonia | I've removed the ban | 22:45 |
| Younder | thx | 22:45 |
