nhandlerjrib: We can't have ubottu treat kick messages as comments. Too many people use scripts that automatically specfiy a kick comment. Having a bunch of generic "You should know better" comments would not really be helpful00:56
Myrttier, correct me if I'm wrong, but kick messages ARE treated as comments00:58
Myrttithat's how it's been in the ban tracker since time immemorial00:58
gnomefreak76has anyone wrote a factoid about the window buttons01:26
gnomefreak76ok !buttons is not it01:28
=== gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak
Myrttiwhy would anyone have written such a factoid and what do you think it should say01:29
gnomefreakMyrtti: lucid window control buttons moved to left side01:29
gnomefreakpeople dont like that01:29
gnomefreakalot of them too01:29
gnomefreakits one of those "lets throw it in there and see if people like it" type things IIRC01:30
nhandlerI might be useful to include a link to a page explaining how to move the buttons back to the right. I have a feeling that will be a FAQ after lucid is released01:31
gnomefreaknhandler: there are a few of them but knowing how long they will be up is not known01:31
nhandlergnomefreak: Do we have a page on the wiki explaining how to move the buttons?01:32
Myrttifeels a bit of yakshaving01:32
* gnomefreak can add them but i was told that someone may have already done that 01:32
gnomefreaknhandler: nope not that i know of01:32
gnomefreakhttp://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side01:32
gnomefreakthat is one. most of them are on blogs01:33
gnomefreaknone official01:33
nhandlerYeah, I've seen the blog posts. It might be good to get a page added to the community help wiki about this.01:33
gnomefreaknhandler: yeah i wanted to the other day but was unable to find enough time to do it. there is also at least 1 bug report with the many ways to change it01:35
nhandlergnomefreak: Maybe talk to the people in #ubuntu-doc and see if someone there has some time to prepare a page01:36
Myrttiy'all should just use Xubuntu. We fortunate people have a gui for changing the location and positioning of them.01:37

ubottuIn ubottu, rww said: !no, tab is <reply> You can use the <tab> key to autocomplete nicknames in IRC. Start typing someone's name, then press the tab key and your client should finish it for you. Doing this at the start of your message will notify the other person of your message in most clients. You can also use the <tab> key to complete filenames and programs on the command line.14:55
KB1JWQIf someone gets the chance, can I get some constructive feedback on a forum post?14:59
KB1JWQhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1432243 <-- My last response.  I wanted to make sure that was in the right tone for the forums.  I'm entirely too used to IRC, I just don't want to come across as "RTFM, noob!" if I can avoid it.15:00
jussi01!gq15:17
ubottuAre you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question.15:17
PiciKB1JWQ: I think thats fine, I'm not a fan of ESR's guide myself, but for a subject such as sendmail, you really need a real question before you cans tart troubleshooting.15:17
jussi01KB1JWQ: you might waant to use that one ^^15:17
KB1JWQAhh, never saw that before.15:18
KB1JWQThanks Pici  and jussi01.15:18
KB1JWQI'll help if I can, but I REALLY need specific questions in most cases. :-)  "Teach me X" isn't something I accept from anyone as a problem request.15:19
KB1JWQjussi01: Unfortunately I think that one's too IRC centric.15:20
KB1JWQWhat I like about ESR's guide is that it covers almost every online medium you could hope for.15:20

nocturnusoh hello elky21:01
ikoniayes21:01
nocturnusAre you getting my PM's ...?21:02
ikoniayes21:02
nocturnusPerhaps my IRC client is blocking them21:02
ikoniano21:02
nocturnusI mean when you reply21:02
nocturnus[ because I'm +G ]21:02
ikoniaok21:03
nocturnusWell ...?21:05
ikoniawell what ?21:05
nocturnusWell I'm wondering if you read my queries or what?21:05
ikoniaI read them, and explained to them I'm not unbanning you at the moment21:05
nocturnusI didn't get a PM21:06
ikoniaif you didn't get them, I'll explain it again here,21:06
nocturnusYou can copy/paste if you wish.21:06
ikoniaI'm not unbanning you as I asked you multiple times to stop referencing sofas and you chose to play dumb and pretend you had not mentioned sofas21:06
nocturnusNo ... that's not what I meant ...21:06
ikoniaother users complained about your offtopic comments, I attempted to stop them and you tried to push me/be smart with me21:06
nocturnusI know I said the word sofas once, but as I said it was a pun, and not a reference21:06
nocturnusI don't really know anything about sofas.21:07
ikoniaI'm sure you don't21:07
nocturnusThen what's the problem?21:07
ikoniaI asked you to stop referncing it 3 times and you're last words where to mention it again21:07
nocturnusI only said it once, the other times was because you asked me21:07
ikoniayes, and I asked you to stop and you just kept referencing sofas21:07
nocturnusI think this is a communication error - not my first language you know ..21:07
ikoniaI understand english may not be your first language21:08
nocturnus*sigh*21:08
nocturnusI wasn't ~referencing~ them, just replying to the replies you gave!21:08
ikoniayet I kept asking you to stop and you kept replying21:08
ikoniainstead of stopping21:08
nocturnusBecause I don't understanded what the problem is ..21:08
nocturnusI didn't spam "sofa sofa sofa sofa ..."21:08
nocturnusunderstood rather21:09
ikoniaI didn't say you spammed sofa sofa sofa21:09
ikoniayou where making offtopic comments, sofa was one of them, I asked you to stop and you kept pushing it21:09
nocturnusWell on several occasions - that's what I meant by 's s s s  ...'21:09
nocturnusAs soon as you brought it up with me, I directed all sofa-related puns towards you for clarificatoin21:10
ikoniahow about stopping all "puns" as you where told to21:10
ikonianocturnus: how do you know elky ?21:10
nocturnusShe's the head organiser in #ubuntu-women21:11
nocturnusI used to go there a year ago21:11
ikoniaahh, so you would be known to her then21:11
nocturnusNot formally.21:12
nocturnusCertainly not by this alias21:12
ikoniashe'll remember you21:12
ikoniaoh really21:12
ikoniawhat alias21:12
nocturnuswebchat aliases, I don't remember21:12
ikoniaok - what country are you in ?21:13
nocturnusCanada21:13
ikonialets see if she remebers you and will vouch for your behaviour when she wakes up21:13
ikoniaas I'm not convinced by your behaviour at all21:13
nocturnusThis is quite rude, I know what you're trying to imply.21:13
ikoniawhat am I trying to imply ?21:13
nocturnusWell ... what can I say.21:14
ikoniaI've just stated what I'm doing21:14
nocturnus17:09:23 <+ikonia> oh really21:14
ikonia?21:14
nocturnusIt doesn't sound to me like you're 'just stating'. My english isn't great but I'm not socially stupid21:14
ikoniaI have just stated what I'm doing21:14
ikoniaI am asking elky if she remembers you to vouch for you as I'm not convinced by your behaviour21:15
nocturnusHow could she 'remember' me provided I told you I was not introduced formally and that I used web-chat21:15
ikoniaok - now I don't believe you as I've just seen you've been muted in ##linux too for problematic behaviour21:17
ikoniaso I'm going to leave the ban in place for a while, you can think about your behaviour21:17
nocturnusI was muted in #linux for telling people not to offer 100$ discounts on hardware21:18
ikoniathat's not the case21:18
nocturnusThis is why I meant you are implying more than you are saying.21:18
ikoniaagain - you're behaviour21:18
ikoniaI'm not implying anything, I'm stating clearly21:18
nocturnusPlease be fair.21:18
ikoniaI am21:18
nocturnusYou just jumped to conclusions based on my #linux 'behavior'21:18
ikoniano, it is in addition to your behaviour in #ubuntu21:19
nocturnusSeeing as you're in #21:19
nocturnuswhoops21:19
nocturnusin #ubuntu, you could have easily given me a second chance21:19
ikoniaI gave you 3 chances to stop going on about sofa's / offtopic21:19
nocturnusIt can't be 'in addition' to my behavior in #ubuntu because that's the original case in question21:19
ikoniaok - I'm not playing this game21:19
nocturnus#ubuntu is the parent case, the additional case is #linux21:20
ikoniaI'll state the situation21:20
nocturnusYou just use circular reasoning to convict me!21:20
nocturnusI know the situation.21:20
nocturnusI'm banned until you are convinced.21:20
ikonianocturnus: you where asked to stop being offtopic in #ubuntu - an example was mentioning sofas21:20
ikonianocturnus: you did not stop so you where removed21:20
nocturnusPlease ...21:20
nocturnussave your breath, I have a buffer on my IRC client ...21:20
ikonianocturnus: I suspect your beahviour with your current nickname may be an attempt to hide previous bad behaviour on other nicks - but I'm not certain21:21
ikoniayou're behaviour and banning in ##linux backs up that your behaviour in #ubuntu was not an accident or missunderstanding21:21
ikoniatherefore I am leaving the ban in place at this time21:21
nocturnusikonia: If you want to bring #linux into question, I have psi-jack to vouch for me, and he's a very knowledgeful regular21:21
ikoniaI'm not brining ##linux into the equasion - they can do what they wish as their channel, however the fact that you got put on mute for similar behaviour to ubuntu suggests you know what you are doing21:22
nocturnusikonia: sorry about that, I had to reconnect21:38
nocturnusHave you taken the time to consider a response to my last questions?21:38
ikoniano need to apologise, nothing more to say21:38
nocturnusWell a response to my questions would be delightful ...21:39
ikoniaI didn't see a question21:39
nocturnusHmm ... perhaps I am mistaken.21:39
nocturnusOh wait I remember,21:39
nocturnushow long until I can put this fiasco behind me?21:39
nocturnus... and rejoin #ubuntu?21:40
ikoniacome back in a few days and we'll review it then21:40
nocturnusI don't think I'll be comming back at all, perhaps months into the future ..21:40
ikoniathen why ask ?21:40
ikoniafor the record psi-jack ##linux staff wouldn't vouch for him21:46
elkyikonia, sorry, i can only vouch for his existence, not his behaviour. He spent the other day informing #ubuntu-women how he was Alpha Male and a lot of people there got quite creeped out by this21:48
ikoniaelky: stinks of someone like bacta21:49
ikoniahis nick was registered in jan 201021:50
ikoniathe way he singled you out21:50
elkyhe singled me out because i booted him for proclaiming his alpha maleness21:50
ikoniaooh right21:50
ikoniahe claimed he used to be in #ubuntu-women about a year ago21:50
elkyi recall a similar nick that doesn't idle there permanently any longer, but unless he confirms it's only speculation21:51
ikoniaodd, the guys in ##linux-ops where shocked he's asked them to vouch for him as they had pretty negative things to say21:52
ikoniaand yet he found ##club-ubuntu straight away21:52
elkyikonia, did the ##linux-ops stuff seem based on recent times?21:54
