| psidrum | test me | 00:25 |
|---|---|---|
| ubottu | sebsebseb called the ops in #ubuntu (shadertest) | 01:20 |
| Flannel | IdleOne: That would probably have been better served as a talking-to instead of a removal. Some people call ops far too prematurely. | 01:22 |
| Flannel | Although in this case, it does appear to be somewhat trollish | 01:22 |
| IdleOne | Flannel: agreed that a talking to would of been better but I banned because he posted the full link and not the abreviation | 01:23 |
| IdleOne | so it is posting links to jfgi and cursing | 01:24 |
| Flannel | Yeah, but you should rarely ban 'out of the blue' | 01:24 |
| Flannel | IdleOne: are you speaking to him in a query about it? | 01:26 |
| Flannel | Meh. Now you've got me removing people that I should've just let drop ;) | 01:27 |
| IdleOne | Flannel: sorry not yet. Got dad asking me to teach him facebook :/ | 01:31 |
| Flannel | Tell him it's a site that steals his privacy and sells it to companies and he should stay away. Problem solved! | 01:31 |
| IdleOne | I won't even ask if that is true. it MUST be | 01:35 |
| IdleOne | I messaged and asked to join here if he would like to discuss the ban | 01:35 |
| IdleOne | Flannel: oh you mean Facebook | 01:36 |
| IdleOne | lol yeah I told him that already | 01:36 |
| Flannel | yeah, I meant facebook | 01:36 |
| IdleOne | he just uses it to play some game on there and has no personal info like real name or anything | 01:37 |
| Flannel | farmville or mafia wars? | 01:38 |
| IdleOne | world at war | 01:38 |
| IdleOne | but yeah same thing | 01:38 |
| bazhang | <shadertest> A better idea would be to install gentoo | 01:45 |
| bazhang | now in #k | 01:46 |
| IdleOne | yeah well he is now upset so he is going to troll everywhere | 01:47 |
| IdleOne | he did not respond to my PM either | 01:47 |
| bazhang | no, he did before the ban as well | 01:47 |
| IdleOne | why did ubottu ask me to comment on removal and also on ban? | 01:48 |
| Flannel | IdleOne: because you banned, and you also removed. | 01:53 |
| IdleOne | hmm I don't recall the bot asking for separate comments on same user but okie dokie | 01:53 |
| Flannel | IdleOne: (comment on the ban, not the kick/removal) | 01:53 |
| IdleOne | Flannel: well I did both now so no biggie | 01:53 |
| IdleOne | !yahoo | 01:55 |
| ubottu | At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com (port 5050) and see if that helps. | 01:55 |
| IdleOne | is this still valid? | 01:56 |

| dabaR | hello. | 14:13 |
| dabaR | I recently started going to the drupal channels, and I noticed some interesting thing they do there, which might be a thought for the way the Ubuntu channel works. | 14:14 |
| dabaR | They basically move to the -support channel when someone takes on resolving the issue of a specific person | 14:15 |
| dabaR | So, in #ubuntu, basically support requests, and short responses. If it is a longer fix, you move to #ubuntu-support, to not make the future requests scroll off the screen | 14:15 |
| IdleOne | dabaR: Ubuntu does the same thing except we move the chat to -offtopic | 14:15 |
| dabaR | :-/ | 14:16 |
| dabaR | I don't find that is done at all | 14:16 |
| dabaR | I am not there super often, but lately more again | 14:16 |
| IdleOne | separating a support convo to a different channel would make it difficult for others to follow even if they are not part of the convo | 14:16 |
| dabaR | I understand, that is the down-side | 14:16 |
| dabaR | But if there is an announcement of sort, people could follow it. | 14:17 |
| dabaR | Like !joinme | 14:17 |
| dabaR | Or rather !joinme | person | 14:17 |
| IdleOne | dabaR: Something to think about for sure | 14:17 |
| dabaR | Then ubottu says: dabaR is going to help you with your issue, person, type /j #ubuntu-support | 14:18 |
| dabaR | Ya, it is an interesting different approach | 14:18 |
| dabaR | And certainly #ubuntu is getting unmanageable, IMHO | 14:18 |
| dabaR | Or has been for a while, not sure | 14:19 |
| topyli | dabaR, let me find the bug you should add a comment on, just a sec | 14:20 |
| topyli | okay then :( | 14:20 |
| dabaR | heh | 14:20 |
| IdleOne | ahh there ya go | 14:21 |
| IdleOne | lol | 14:21 |
| topyli | dabaR, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community/+bug/392799 | 14:21 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 392799 in ubuntu-community "#ubuntu too noisy to be useful" [Medium,In progress] | 14:21 |
| dabaR | topyli: are you following this thread? | 14:21 |
| dabaR | the bug report thread | 14:21 |
| topyli | the comment thread is a (partly) good read too, to see what people think | 14:21 |
| topyli | dabaR, yes | 14:21 |
| dabaR | Noone mentioned that? | 14:21 |
| topyli | it's assigned to the ircc, i have no choice! :) | 14:22 |
| dabaR | Oh, you mean you have to follow it | 14:22 |
| topyli | yes | 14:22 |
| dabaR | Did anyone suggest such an idea like the drupal channels use? | 14:22 |
| topyli | most suggestions do seem to start from the premise that there are too many users and suggest various ways to get them off #ubuntu | 14:24 |
| dabaR | Well, that is what I suggest too | 14:24 |
| dabaR | I see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community/+bug/392799/comments/37 | 14:24 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 392799 in ubuntu-community "#ubuntu too noisy to be useful" [Medium,In progress] | 14:24 |
| dabaR | That one is similar, except not exactly | 14:25 |
| dabaR | OK, ctrl-f did not return anything that seems to be exactly what I propose | 14:26 |
| dabaR | So I will make a short comment | 14:26 |
| dabaR | Thus once again adding to the list of results on Google with my name | 14:26 |
| dabaR | I am even going to link to my site in the comment, to aid my SEO efforts | 14:27 |
| dabaR | Heh | 14:27 |
| topyli | my question was "how noisy is it, really" and i tried to find out (see comment 72). ljl suggested an actual approach of fixing it in 73. after that, the bug has been more quiet. please do chip in | 14:27 |
| dabaR | Well, 74 has an idea too | 14:29 |
| dabaR | Really a guided thing would help | 14:29 |
| dabaR | To present the options, too | 14:29 |
| dabaR | But there probably is some such thing on the Ubuntu sie | 14:29 |
| dabaR | Maybe not a client, but probably there is a list of channels | 14:29 |
| dabaR | topyli: I mean, you do read #ubuntu, eh? | 14:31 |
| dabaR | Just cause you were asking the question how busy it is | 14:32 |
| tsimpson | making a #ubuntu is our -support, creating -support would just create another noisy channel with no unique purpose | 14:51 |

| topyli | apparently memoserv never delivered my memo to him, promised to change it when pm'd | 15:09 |
| elky | i'm glad you caught him. he doesn't do anything to be noticed until he quits | 15:11 |
| topyli | aye, all i've seen of him in the past week is quits :) | 15:12 |

| ubottu | actionParsnip called the ops in #ubuntu () | 16:05 |
| marienz | that was a lot of pinging. | 16:06 |
| elky | kikim, can we help you? | 16:07 |
| marienz | was AcePreshaw your recurring trigger spammer? | 16:12 |
| funkyHat | Would it be overstepping the mark to @mark something in a channel where I'm not an op? | 17:23 |
| ikonia | marienz: yes | 17:25 |
| marienz | ikonia: thanks. He was asking for a cloak. He's cloaked now, but I'm keeping an eye on him. Prod me if he misbehaves anywhere while cloaked I'm not in. | 17:26 |
| ikonia | no problem, thank you | 17:29 |
| funkyHat | I pulled up RoyK for swearing in -server but he refused to accept it was a problem | 17:31 |
| ubottu | xomp called the ops in #ubuntu () | 18:17 |
| ubottu | xangua called the ops in #ubuntu (holyquran) | 18:18 |
| ubottu | DCGstudios called the ops in #ubuntu (holyquran) | 18:18 |
| topyli | funkyHat, well it is. he will hear your advice or continue and find himself removed | 18:32 |
| funkyHat | topyli: that's why I was wondering about using @mark to make a note of it | 18:33 |
| topyli | funkyHat, i have no idea what the policy is. i would @mark liberally! | 18:35 |
| funkyHat | @mark RoyK #ubuntu-server circa 16:00 UTC refused to accept that swearing is not permitted in Ubuntu channels after it was pointed out to him | 18:38 |
| ubottu | The operation succeeded. | 18:38 |
| ikonia | funkyHat: then have him removed, talk to scottK - he's active | 18:39 |
| ikonia | funkyHat: if someone cant play by the rules, they don't get access | 18:39 |
| funkyHat | ikonia: ah, I assumed had ScottK had ops in -server he'd have removed him - he was there ⢁) | 18:41 |
| ikonia | if someone doesn't agree with the policy but follows it, fine, if someone refuses to accept it and is vocal about it, they don't need to be in the channel | 18:42 |
| ikonia | anyway, time to watch a film | 18:42 |

| * ikonia returns | 21:32 | |
| jpds | tsimpson: Is ubottu just overloaded with channels? | 21:43 |
| tsimpson | I think that's most of the problem | 21:44 |
| jpds | 2 and 4 aren't doing much load avg-wise. | 21:44 |
| ikonia | can you pull it out of some channels ? | 21:44 |
| ikonia | eg; I'd be happy to run "bugbot" in the devel/bugs channels ? | 21:44 |
| jpds | Well; that's what I'm asking for; I need channel names to chuck the others in. | 21:45 |
| ikonia | I guess #ubuntu-bugs and #ubuntu-devel and #kubuntu-devel would be a start ? | 21:47 |
| jpds | 4 is in -bugs. | 21:47 |
| tsimpson | we'll do something about it on monday | 21:48 |
| jpds | OK. | 21:51 |
| tsimpson | make sure you | 21:52 |
| tsimpson | *you're in #ubuntu-bots-team | 21:52 |
| tsimpson | that's where I plan to discuss it tomorrow | 21:52 |

| jpds | Yep. | 21:52 |
| bsmith093 | is anyone actually human on this channel | 23:25 |
| bsmith093 | !exploit | 23:26 |
| ubottu | There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit | 23:26 |
| Flannel | bsmith093: Whats up? | 23:26 |
| bsmith093 | could you test me please | 23:26 |
| bsmith093 | i keep getting the buggy router error | 23:27 |
| Flannel | bsmith093: What channel are you banned from? | 23:27 |
| bsmith093 | #ubuntu'] | 23:27 |
| bsmith093 | i changed the port from 6667 to 8001 and updated the router firmware (linksys wrt54g ver 6) | 23:28 |
| Flannel | bsmith093: alright, try again in -read-topic to get tested | 23:28 |
| bsmith093 | so what does the test and the exploit actually do | 23:29 |
| Flannel | The exploit makes your router get paranoid, basically. | 23:29 |
| Flannel | bsmith093: Alright, you should be able to rejoin #ubuntu now | 23:29 |
| bsmith093 | thanks | 23:29 |
