hiexpoikonia,  - why'd you kick me earlier was there a reason ?00:12
hiexpowas i out of line  if so tell me so00:14
mneptokit's out of line to mock basic channel rules. it's out of line to be consistently offtopic.00:26
mneptokit's not the first time you have been removed from #ubuntu for being offtopic.00:26
mneptokyou also have evaded bans in the past, which is against Freenode policy, never mind the channel itself.00:28
mneptokthus, op tolerance for your behavior is quite low.00:28
hiexpook i apologizer  but all i did was use lol and omg so i know now to never use those slangs again00:29
mneptokno, that's not all you did. you then proceeded to complain about the rules.00:29
hiexpomneptok,  i complained about being reprimanded for that  when many others do the same thing is all00:31
mneptokno, that's not what you said at all. i see no reference to "other people do it"00:31
mneptok2010-07-04T22:26:10 <hiexpo> Loshki,  - i do to but i am gonna give up on it just cause of that /// silly factoid lol or omg /// I come here at night when i can't sleep and help others because usually at night backtrak and pentoo are slow so thought I'd be helpful here // but sometimes i wonder why if i am gonna be repromanded for simpleton things ya know00:31
hiexpomneptok,  exactly  /// that's what i was saying mneptok   i was being reprimanded   for that lol or omgbut i do understand your pointof following therules00:34
mneptokwell, when ikonia is active he can discuss the ban with you.00:35
hiexposo i was wrong for that part00:35
mneptokuse "/whois ikonia" to find out when he is active00:35
hiexpook thanx    and he did not ban me he just kicked me  i just wanted to know why he did it i was not trying to make a major issue00:36
hiexpoand thanks again mneptok00:38

FlannelHi Jordan_U, how can we help you today?03:01
Jordan_UFlannel: Sorry, joined because I thought there might be a situation and forgot to part.03:02
IdleOneremoved alteregoa because it was the second time today that he was asked to stay on topic.05:16
IdleOnesame star trek quotes05:16
bazhanghe's done that for a long long time. he knows the rules.05:17
IdleOnethen he switched to Mr Spock with the "facinating"05:17
IdleOnefascinating*05:17
* IdleOne knows his Trek05:17
mneptokyes, but do you know your B5?05:46
Flannelsoap-opera-in-space!  Just like DS905:46
mneptokexcept far less episodic than DS905:47
mneptokDS9 was an episodic show with serial elements. B5 was a serial with episodic elements.05:48
IdleOneas a matter of fact I did watch B5 also but it was a long time ago05:49
ikoniaroasted just frustrated me, blocking out a swear word, he responds with "lol" I explain I'm not joking and he comes back with :)07:28
ikoniaopesec was polite in pm - but drunk, he said he felt the need to be gross and has never entered #ubuntu before07:54
ikoniahe's a fedora community member wearing a cloak, so I'm a little dissapointed by his behaviour07:54
ikoniaI suspect user1_ is trying to cause an issue07:58
ikoniabazhang: I'll put money he start's pm'ing you08:01
bazhangikonia, well I hope not, but I will continue to advise him to address the channel instead of targeting individuals08:01
ikoniaI can't be bothered to help him any more as he claims to be on a slow connection and can't open a pastebin and floods me with data in pm, but his data doesn't actually seem to make sense, so I'm not %100 sure it's genuine08:05
ikoniathen his smart mouth "when can you help community members" comment makes me think he's trying to be an issue, so I'm chosing not to do anything more with him08:06
ikoniaand he seems overly keen for "me" to help him over anyone else,08:06
Flannelconsidering he still hasn't asked a question, sounds like sound policy08:06
Flannel(well, in recent time anyway)08:07
Flannel256GB?  That's a $600 drive08:15
ikoniaI'd get him to mount it manually and touch a file on there08:25
ikoniaI don't believe he's copying the data onto the filesstem sucessfully08:25
ikonia(that's my personal opinion)08:25
bazhangnoobuser is joshmuffin btw. (bragged about trolling -women)08:34
ikoniareally08:34
ikoniathat explains a lot08:35
ikoniahow his attitude has changed now that he needs help08:35
ikoniaspoke to noobuser, he claims it's his friends using his account09:00
ikoniaI made it clear that any more abuse from your machine will result in a ban, and that it is his responsibility to secure his PC/home environment from abuse09:00

LjLis this acceptable? considering this fellow actually succeeded in getting someone's install wiped out by telling them to do that.12:24

ubottuIn ubottu, ronoc said: hi ubottu - is that supposed to help me?14:58
ronocCAN ANYONE HELP?? I get sporadic black screens - Just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a blank PC15:01
ronoc(Dell Optiplex GX260, PC Desktop, not a weird setup)15:01
ronocPentium 415:01
IdleOneronoc: Please join #ubuntu for support15:02
ronocI tried posting this to #ubuntu a couple of times and a bot sent me here15:02
ronocwill try again15:02
bazhangI gave him the answer, if he persists then he was not seeking it in the first place15:28
IdleOnehe is looking for reasoning not an answer. wrong channel. he needs to talk to the MOTU's or devs for reasoning behind feature removal15:29
bazhangIdleOne, sorry I missed that; got to the convo a bit late15:30
IdleOneI just got that myself15:30
IdleOne:)15:30
IdleOneAll I saw was his question about patience15:30
IdleOnehe seems very functional for someone who claims to be autistic15:34
bazhanghah15:34
bazhangjust give him a bit more rope15:35
IdleOnemy little cousin has Asberger (sp?) and is high functioning, there is no way he can hold a convo like james is15:35
IdleOneon a related note I don't have Rhythmbox installed15:37
IdleOnewonder why...15:37
bazhangactually a Gnome developers decision, as it turns out: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59275615:38
ubottuGnome bug 592756 in Appearance "remove interface tab" [Normal,New]15:38
IdleOneSo not even ubuntu related15:39
bazhangthere was some hot controversy on that one, Martin Owens blog post, especially15:40
bazhangnot Ubuntu decision, though certainly related (but completely offtopic)15:40
IdleOnedid you give james the link?15:41
IdleOneofftopic but if we have the answer may as well give it right?15:42
bazhangif he had joined -ot I would have, didn't think it appropriate to add fuel to an ot discussion in #ubuntu15:42
IdleOnehe quit15:42
bazhangand he was asked to join -ot but did not.15:43
IdleOneI sent it with memoserv, maybe he will see it15:43
IdleOnethis is a case for -irc-helpers the channel can be used to answer semi-related questions like james' offtopic but still sorta related to support15:45

ubottusebsebseb called the ops in #ubuntu (willwork4foo)23:22
jpdsOK; that may of been a mistake23:23
jpdsOn the other hand, I've just invented the first Ubuntu continent mirror.23:23
geniiOdd. Does anyone know why login from my phone with nick genii-htc tells me I'm +b in #u-ot but search of BT shows nada ?23:24
willwork4fooOK - why was I banned?23:24
willwork4foosomeone explain to me how a USER without root privileges running a command to remove all dotfiles from his home directory is remotely dangerous??23:25
ubottuJordan_U called the ops in #ubuntu (Guest25070)23:26
willwork4fooHELLO?23:27
jussiwillwork4foo: just a sec23:27
willwork4foojussi, ah good someone is here.23:28
jussijpds: got a sec for him? Im headed bedwards23:28
willwork4foojpds, since YOU banned me, I think it's really only fair.23:28
jpdswillwork4foo: It's generally a bad idea to paste such commands as people who know no better, can randomly input them into terminals.23:29
jussiwillwork4foo: he may not be looking at this channel just now. care to tell me what happened?23:29
jussioh23:29
jussi:)23:29
jussibed time then23:29
jpdsBed? Luxury.23:29
willwork4fooright - ok. that command I pasted would be impossible to cause any real damage to an ubuntu system unless you ran it as root23:30
willwork4fooI appreciate that a command *similar* to it is dangerous, but not the one I provided.23:30
jpdsWell, lose someone's email, carefully crafted configuration, ...23:30
willwork4foojpds, which I fully warned very clearly beforehand would happen if he ran the command23:31
willwork4foounder the heading of read the label...23:31
jpdswillwork4foo: OK; but keep it in mind for next time that not everyone knows better.23:32
willwork4fooI think it was excessive and uncalled for to ban me.23:32
jpdsI've unbanned you for now.23:32
willwork4foojpds, fair enough - so next time, I'll provide an even bigger disclaimer / warning if I need to suggest anything involving the rm command.23:33
willwork4foo:)23:33
willwork4fooI suppose fdisk is out of the question too then....?23:33
willwork4foo:)]23:33
funkyHatwillwork4foo: at the least put the warning on the same line as the command you're warning about ⢁)23:33
willwork4foofunkyHat, will do23:33
geniiAAAAUUUGGGHH23:34
* jpds gently prods genii.23:34
* funkyHat pushes genii over23:34
willwork4foowtf?23:34
geniiI wanted to unban *!*@bas4-toronto63-1096776793.dsl.bell.ca  in -ot but it used for some reasom *23:34
willwork4foogenii, did you just unban everyone?23:35
willwork4foonice move.. :)23:35
geniiOk. crucify me now please...23:35
willwork4fooright - since I not an Op, I will leave you folks alone23:35
jpdsgenii: What could possibly go wrong?23:35
funkyHatPretty sure that doesn't do that genii23:36
funkyHati.e. bans are still all there23:36
geniiMy copy paste screwed up for the hostmask23:36
geniiGah. I knew cutting back on the coffee wasn't neccesarily a good thing23:38
h00kwait. genii, you did what...23:41
h00kwhat did that actually do?23:42
geniih00k: Not exactly sure, although I did it one other time before and it wasn't the end of the world. I think the system has safeguards against it.23:43
gordh00k, its fine, he unbanned *!*@*.*, its fine23:43
gordit would only affect a ban set on *!*@*.*, which we don't have for obvious reasons23:43
geniigord: Thanks for the explanation23:43
h00kah.23:43
* genii gives up the decaf forever23:49
h00kgenii: you...were drinking decaf?23:52
geniih00k: Yes. I had a small stroke recently and my doc told me to reduce caffeine23:53
geniiSo I'm not sure if it's lack of caffeine or brain damage23:54
gordgenii, want me to remove the ban? i have scripts23:54
h00kgenii: ...holy crap. I was going to be disappoint, but that...yeah. Priorities.23:54
geniigord: Sure. You have the hostmask23:54
