bazhangI'm concerned that sean__ is going to offer very bad advice in PM01:07
IdleOneevening03:48
IdleOneWhat is the policy on posting these types of links?04:18
IdleOne<Curly_Q> DASPRiD you can find the driver      http://www.driversguide.com04:18
IdleOneit requires login04:18
IdleOneand then probably wants you to buy some stupid application that wont work anyway04:18
ubottuIn ubottu, soreau said: !ati is <reply>For Radeon 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, the open source "radeon" driver is already installed and working with 3D by default. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver but is not necessary for 3D. More help in #radeon06:29
bazhangfireko and valkyrie appear to be connecting from the same address and have similar intent07:08
bazhangapparently he is in #arch right now discussing trolling #ubuntu07:11
bazhang<Valkyrie> There. Ye' have what ya wish. I stop - fer now.07:20
tsimpsonIdleOne: we don't have a specific policy for that, though it may fall under spamming and not being helpful (unless it's a genuinely useful link for the person)08:02
Tm_Twe also prefer ubuntu codumentation08:05
ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (flood (16))08:07
elkyCan I suggest you ping a friend of mine, tigrmesh, who is an arch op whenever this happens.09:08
bazhangthey were warned in #archlinux at the time by those present09:08
elkycool, if they go unheeded, do ping my friend though09:09
elkyprobably even worth doing if they don't get any op attention at the time anyway09:09
bazhangokay, many thanks (have @mark'd them/him as well)09:09
ikoniaahhhh I got hit with a auto kline script trying to help someone in #ubuntu10:36
ikoniasuckered10:36
bazhangpanarchy is back10:41
ikoniayup10:41
ikoniahe's not been in any #ubuntu channels that I know of10:41
bazhangnot that I have seen, just another prominent linux channel10:42
ikoniawhich one ?10:42
bazhang##linux10:43
ikoniaI didn't see him in there10:43
ikoniaodd10:43
ikoniamust have not been watching10:43
elkyikonia, what you said in #u doesn't really correlate with your kline10:54
ikonia??10:54
ikoniaexplain10:54
elky19:33:56 is when you spoke, 19:34:06 is the last line anyone said before your kline, 19:34:15 is when the kline hit, 19:34:43 is the next line by anyone.10:56
ikoniaahhh did the spam not hit #ubuntu ?10:56
ikoniait must have just been #freenode10:57
elkyno10:57
ikoniagood good10:57
ikoniathat's a relief, I'm in 100 channels so hitting all of them would have been annoying10:57
elky* Guest04934 (~chatzilla@alesi.projecthugo.co.uk) has joined #freenode10:57
elky<Guest04934> JOIN IN http://hnode.tripod.com/ . AND USE OUR NEW JAVACHAT!!!10:57
elkyThat's not good.10:58
ikonianope10:58
ikoniashould have used wget to test it10:58
elkyOh, the linking spam is back?10:59
ikoniayes10:59
ikoniasome guy was asking for help in #ubuntu, I was sceptical but gave the benifit of the doubt10:59
elkyah, i see it there now11:00
ikoniahello Jordan_U11:12
Jordan_Uikonia: Hi, the_file in #ubuntu may be a troll.11:12
ikonialets look11:12
ikoniano problem, lets see what happens11:13
bazhangtheidiot in -ot13:29
bilalakhtarI noticed an offensive quit message on channel #ubuntu-offtopic by user theidiot13:45
elkybilalakhtar, thanks. we were already watching him. if you notice him return please let us know13:46
bilalakhtarelky: Ok, I think I should leave now, since idling here is not allowed :). Will come back if theidiot comes back13:47
bilalakhtarhello, people, I cannot connect to #ubuntu-offtopic. Why? I am connecting from my office. Is that a problem? But I can connect to other channels.14:23
bazhangwhat happens when you try?14:23
bilalakhtarbazhang: It says "Cannot connect to #ubuntu-offtopic: Permission denied"14:24
bilalakhtarbazhang: A firewall problem?14:24
bilalakhtarI should ask it in #freenode I suppose14:24
bazhangthat is odd14:25
bazhang /join #ubuntu-offtopic  fails?14:25
bilalakhtaryeah14:26
bilalakhtarOk, I have to go to my home now, will see if the problem occurs there or not14:26
bazhangwhat about some random channel14:26
bazhang#debian for example14:26
bilalakhtarbazhang: debian also not working.14:26
bazhangbizarre14:27
bazhangthat was !pl not !cz14:31
IdleOneoh14:31
IdleOnewell maybe being a little more polite next time will get him the correct answer :/14:32
ikoniaIdleOne: what good will running a dual boot system over wubi do for him ?14:42
IdleOneikonia: not actually certain but I have seen people say Ubuntu runs smoother in a actual install instead of wubi14:43
ikoniadoesn't seem sensible to blindly advise a full OS install without something to back it up14:43
ikoniait's more likley he's not using the video card config correctly so everything appears slow14:44
IdleOnenoted14:44
funkyHathaving trouble leaving a comment on the bantracker14:51
IdleOnedid you give ubottu a cookie first?14:51
funkyHatI don't think it's an auth issue: <class '_sqlite.DatabaseError'>: attempt to write a readonly database14:52
IdleOnepoke tsimpson about it14:53
jussi#ubuntu-bots team for bot issues ;)15:07
IdleOne#ubuntu-bots-team15:08
IdleOnethank you jussi15:08
jussiheh15:08
jussiyes15:08
bilalakhtarHello ops, for an unknown reason, I am banned from #ubuntu-offtopic. I can connect only through webchat. Can someone tell the reason?15:22
bilalakhtar^ I am connected to that channel through webchat. I am connecting through my office proxy. The problem is with the office for some reason, since I can connect from my home. I am at home right now, but using office proxy to test this problem which I discoveren an hour ago.15:25
bilalakhtarelky: Hi there! Can you solve my problem over here?15:27
bilalakhtarIs someone over here available?15:32
bilalakhtarCan someone help me? I have switched back to my home network now. I can connect to offtopic from home, but not office, though I can connect to other channels from office.15:36
IdleOnebilalakhtar: is there a pattern in the channels you can't connect to?15:39
IdleOneI mean is it only channels that have -offtopic in the name?15:39
bilalakhtarIdleOne: no. Only #ubuntu-offtopic. I can connect to kubuntu-offtopic as well. I can connect to all other channels but not that one15:40
IdleOnealthough I don't think that would make a difference unless your work network somehow blocks those channels15:40
bilalakhtarIdleOne: My network admin says port 8001 is completely unblocked.15:40
IdleOnebilalakhtar: #freenode may be able to help. seems strange that it is only that one channel15:40
jussibilalakhtar: what is the proxy you are using at work?15:41
* jussi guesses there is a ban on the proxy15:42
bilalakhtarjussi: You mean the IP?15:42
bilalakhtarI mean IP address? just a min15:42
jussiyes15:42
IdleOne67.63.55.215:42
bilalakhtarIt is 188.248.72.7115:42
bilalakhtarMy office is quite large, and I know many other people who also use freenode15:43
jussi[17:43:26] * 367 #ubuntu-offtopic *!*@188.248.72.71 elky!~melissa@ubuntu/member/pdpc.professional.elkbuntu 127461992315:44
jussiit has a ban...15:44
bilalakhtarjussi: huh? why?15:44
jussione sec15:44
elkyThat is the ban on 'theidiot'15:45
jussielky: ahh, thanks.15:45
jussibilalakhtar: ^^15:45
elkyjussi, oddly enough, bilalakhtar reported theidiot's quit message.15:45
bilalakhtarjussi: elky: SO theidiot connected from my office?15:45
elkyI smell socks.15:46
bilalakhtarI will contact the other people.15:46
bilalakhtarQuite many people use ubuntu-offtopic in my office15:46
bilalakhtarbut why? thats strange15:46
elkyI'd have thought they'd be working if they were in an office.15:46
jussibtw, all the offtopic ops, funkyHat, gord, topyli, tonyyarusso etc please check your bans in there. we have a growing list and we need to make sure that they arent stale.15:47
jussiAlso, theres some funky webchat bans in there...15:47
bilalakhtarelky: I remember theidiot. Yeah, I forgot to notice that my problem began when theidiot left.15:48
bilalakhtarInfact, I left the room just after this message.15:49
bilalakhtar<bilalakhtar> !language | theidiot15:50
bilalakhtarI had to go and get something checked in my workplace.15:50
elkyWell I'm not really wanting to let him back in.15:50
bilalakhtarelky: So what should I do? Ok, I will connect from webchat from now onw.15:51
bilalakhtarThanks for finding the root of the problem.15:51
elkyjussi, suggestion?15:51
elkybilalakhtar, i'd kind of suggest that you find who at your workplace is breaking rules.15:52
bilalakhtarelky: Ok, will do that tomorrow.15:52
jussielky: not at the min15:52
jussibilalakhtar: see you tomorrow then15:55
bilalakhtarjussi: Thanks. i hate theidiot, whosoever it is. cya15:55

knomei don't know, but maybe not18:20
knomelooks like his attitude is not one of the best18:21
ikoniaI'll let the name slide as I can't see the logs, however he's gone if he messes around18:21
knomewould it be okay to point to #ubuntu-offtopic, or do you want him out of there?18:23
knomeoh well..18:23
