[00:12] ikonia, - why'd you kick me earlier was there a reason ? [00:14] was i out of line if so tell me so [00:26] it's out of line to mock basic channel rules. it's out of line to be consistently offtopic. [00:26] it's not the first time you have been removed from #ubuntu for being offtopic. [00:28] you also have evaded bans in the past, which is against Freenode policy, never mind the channel itself. [00:28] thus, op tolerance for your behavior is quite low. [00:29] ok i apologizer but all i did was use lol and omg so i know now to never use those slangs again [00:29] no, that's not all you did. you then proceeded to complain about the rules. [00:31] mneptok, i complained about being reprimanded for that when many others do the same thing is all [00:31] no, that's not what you said at all. i see no reference to "other people do it" [00:31] 2010-07-04T22:26:10 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 know [00:34] mneptok, exactly /// that's what i was saying mneptok i was being reprimanded for that lol or omgbut i do understand your pointof following therules [00:35] well, when ikonia is active he can discuss the ban with you. [00:35] so i was wrong for that part [00:35] use "/whois ikonia" to find out when he is active [00:36] ok 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 issue [00:38] and thanks again mneptok [00:39] np [01:58] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from ekzp) [03:01] Hi Jordan_U, how can we help you today? [03:02] Flannel: Sorry, joined because I thought there might be a situation and forgot to part. [05:16] removed alteregoa because it was the second time today that he was asked to stay on topic. [05:16] same star trek quotes [05:17] he's done that for a long long time. he knows the rules. [05:17] then he switched to Mr Spock with the "facinating" [05:17] fascinating* [05:17] * IdleOne knows his Trek [05:46] yes, but do you know your B5? [05:46] soap-opera-in-space! Just like DS9 [05:47] except far less episodic than DS9 [05:48] DS9 was an episodic show with serial elements. B5 was a serial with episodic elements. [05:49] as a matter of fact I did watch B5 also but it was a long time ago [07:28] roasted just frustrated me, blocking out a swear word, he responds with "lol" I explain I'm not joking and he comes back with :) [07:54] opesec was polite in pm - but drunk, he said he felt the need to be gross and has never entered #ubuntu before [07:54] he's a fedora community member wearing a cloak, so I'm a little dissapointed by his behaviour [07:58] I suspect user1_ is trying to cause an issue [08:01] bazhang: I'll put money he start's pm'ing you [08:01] ikonia, well I hope not, but I will continue to advise him to address the channel instead of targeting individuals [08:05] I 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 genuine [08:06] then 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 him [08:06] and he seems overly keen for "me" to help him over anyone else, [08:06] considering he still hasn't asked a question, sounds like sound policy [08:07] (well, in recent time anyway) [08:15] 256GB? That's a $600 drive [08:25] I'd get him to mount it manually and touch a file on there [08:25] I don't believe he's copying the data onto the filesstem sucessfully [08:25] (that's my personal opinion) [08:34] noobuser is joshmuffin btw. (bragged about trolling -women) [08:34] really [08:35] that explains a lot [08:35] how his attitude has changed now that he needs help [09:00] spoke to noobuser, he claims it's his friends using his account [09:00] I 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 abuse === MenZa is now known as lhavelund [09:26] anyone have a vuvuzela?? [09:26] I blame menza [09:26] D: [10:23] pseud0cod3r called the ops in #ubuntu () [10:23] wha [12:23] ahum. [13:23:21] <-- Avasz has left this server (Quit: sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /). [12:24] is this acceptable? considering this fellow actually succeeded in getting someone's install wiped out by telling them to do that. [12:24] ok ;) [12:24] Oh, right on. [13:37] In ubottu, rww said: !no, 43xx is bcm43xx [13:42] In ubottu, rww said: !bcm43xx =~ s/ / / [13:48] hello blendmaster1024 [13:48] ohhhhh why do i keep autojoining in here? [14:01] he is banforwarded in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:03] yes [14:03] I'll change it to a flat ban [14:58] In ubottu, ronoc said: hi ubottu - is that supposed to help me? [15:01] CAN ANYONE HELP?? I get sporadic black screens - Just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a blank PC [15:01] (Dell Optiplex GX260, PC Desktop, not a weird setup) [15:01] Pentium 4 [15:02] ronoc: Please join #ubuntu for support [15:02] I tried posting this to #ubuntu a couple of times and a bot sent me here [15:02] will try again [15:28] I gave him the answer, if he persists then he was not seeking it in the first place [15:29] he is looking for reasoning not an answer. wrong channel. he needs to talk to the MOTU's or devs for reasoning behind feature removal [15:30] IdleOne, sorry I missed that; got to the convo a bit late [15:30] I just got that myself [15:30] :) [15:30] All I saw was his question about patience [15:34] he seems very functional for someone who claims to be autistic [15:34] hah [15:35] just give him a bit more rope [15:35] my little cousin has Asberger (sp?) and is high functioning, there is no way he can hold a convo like james is [15:37] on a related note I don't have Rhythmbox installed [15:37] wonder why... [15:38] actually a Gnome developers decision, as it turns out: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592756 [15:38] Gnome bug 592756 in Appearance "remove interface tab" [Normal,New] [15:39] So not even ubuntu related [15:40] there was some hot controversy on that one, Martin Owens blog post, especially [15:40] not Ubuntu decision, though certainly related (but completely offtopic) [15:41] did you give james the link? [15:42] offtopic but if we have the answer may as well give it right? [15:42] if he had joined -ot I would have, didn't think it appropriate to add fuel to an ot discussion in #ubuntu [15:42] he quit [15:43] and he was asked to join -ot but did not. [15:43] I sent it with memoserv, maybe he will see it [15:45] this is a case for -irc-helpers the channel can be used to answer semi-related questions like james' offtopic but still sorta related to support === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth === IdleOne is now known as NickSpam === NickSpam is now known as IdleOne [21:23] rjb in #ubuntu (already left) [21:26] @login [21:26] The operation succeeded. [21:26] @btlogin [21:27] I am unable to set a +b in #ubuntu [21:27] what are you trying ? [21:27] what command [21:27] (or what ban mask) [21:27] it's most common when there is already a ban in place [21:28] /mode +b *!*@gateway/web/freenode/ip.72.64.227.100 [21:28] rjb, specifically. [21:28] Full banlist? [21:28] * h00k shrugs [21:29] it's already covered [21:29] 401 - #ubuntu: ban *!*@gateway/web/* [by kornbluth.freenode.net, 2372926 secs ago] [21:30] apparently it wasn't because they were in the channel [21:30] they where +e from #ubuntu-proxy-users [21:31] ah [21:31] ban his ip and the floodbots won't +e him again [21:31] although to be honest, I doubt he'll be back [21:32] Probably not, judging by the message [23:22] sebsebseb called the ops in #ubuntu (willwork4foo) [23:23] OK; that may of been a mistake [23:23] On the other hand, I've just invented the first Ubuntu continent mirror. [23:24] Odd. 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] OK - why was I banned? [23:25] someone explain to me how a USER without root privileges running a command to remove all dotfiles from his home directory is remotely dangerous?? [23:26] Jordan_U called the ops in #ubuntu (Guest25070) [23:27] HELLO? [23:27] willwork4foo: just a sec [23:28] jussi, ah good someone is here. [23:28] jpds: got a sec for him? Im headed bedwards [23:28] jpds, since YOU banned me, I think it's really only fair. [23:29] willwork4foo: It's generally a bad idea to paste such commands as people who know no better, can randomly input them into terminals. [23:29] willwork4foo: he may not be looking at this channel just now. care to tell me what happened? [23:29] oh [23:29] :) [23:29] bed time then [23:29] Bed? Luxury. [23:30] right - ok. that command I pasted would be impossible to cause any real damage to an ubuntu system unless you ran it as root [23:30] I appreciate that a command *similar* to it is dangerous, but not the one I provided. [23:30] Well, lose someone's email, carefully crafted configuration, ... [23:31] jpds, which I fully warned very clearly beforehand would happen if he ran the command [23:31] under the heading of read the label... [23:32] willwork4foo: OK; but keep it in mind for next time that not everyone knows better. [23:32] I think it was excessive and uncalled for to ban me. [23:32] I've unbanned you for now. [23:33] jpds, 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] :) [23:33] I suppose fdisk is out of the question too then....? [23:33] :)] [23:33] willwork4foo: at the least put the warning on the same line as the command you're warning about ⢁) [23:33] funkyHat, will do [23:34] AAAAUUUGGGHH [23:34] * jpds gently prods genii. [23:34] * funkyHat pushes genii over [23:34] wtf? [23:34] I wanted to unban *!*@bas4-toronto63-1096776793.dsl.bell.ca in -ot but it used for some reasom * [23:35] genii, did you just unban everyone? [23:35] nice move.. :) [23:35] Ok. crucify me now please... [23:35] right - since I not an Op, I will leave you folks alone [23:35] genii: What could possibly go wrong? [23:36] Pretty sure that doesn't do that genii [23:36] i.e. bans are still all there [23:36] My copy paste screwed up for the hostmask [23:38] Gah. I knew cutting back on the coffee wasn't neccesarily a good thing [23:41] wait. genii, you did what... [23:42] what did that actually do? [23:43] h00k: 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] h00k, its fine, he unbanned *!*@*.*, its fine [23:43] it would only affect a ban set on *!*@*.*, which we don't have for obvious reasons [23:43] gord: Thanks for the explanation [23:43] ah. [23:49] * genii gives up the decaf forever [23:52] genii: you...were drinking decaf? [23:53] h00k: Yes. I had a small stroke recently and my doc told me to reduce caffeine [23:54] So I'm not sure if it's lack of caffeine or brain damage [23:54] genii, want me to remove the ban? i have scripts [23:54] genii: ...holy crap. I was going to be disappoint, but that...yeah. Priorities. [23:54] gord: Sure. You have the hostmask [23:54] *!*@bas4-toronto63-1096776793.dsl.bell.ca
