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