histoI'm trying to point someone to a foreign language irc channel.  Is there a list somewhere?  They are looking for ubuntu bengali14:49
bazhang!loco14:49
ubottuInformation on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams14:49
bazhangbengali is bangladesh?14:50
bazhangguess so14:51
IdleOneI believe it is14:53
bazhangyep he gave it to tanvir14:54
bazhanghisto, hi; was there something else you needed assistance with?14:56
gnomefreak#ubuntu-ops-monitor  is a invite only channel?14:58
bazhangnope14:59
bazhanghisto, please dont idle here, thanks.14:59
gnomefreakbazhang: .:09:57:37:. ==> Cannot join to channel #ubuntu-ops-monitor (You must be  invited)15:00
bazhanggnomefreak, weird, I just joined15:00
bazhangdid katsumi really tell the user to crack open his computer to look at the wireless card?15:01
gnomefreakeven doing it using /j i get same output15:01
bazhangbizarre15:01
gnomefreakbazhang: are you on the IRCC?15:02
bazhanggnomefreak, hah no way15:02
gnomefreak:)15:02
IdleOnechaneel was set to +i15:02
IdleOnehold on gnomefreak15:02
bazhangthat would give me ops in -ot and havoc would result15:02
gnomefreakk15:03
IdleOnetry now15:03
gnomefreakk15:03
gnomefreakIdleOne: thanks. are we setting +i again?15:03
gnomefreakwe == you ;)15:03
IdleOnein that channel seems so15:03
IdleOneI didn't set it I just follow it :)15:04
IdleOneall I did was add a +I so you can join15:04
gnomefreakits on my auto join15:04
IdleOneyeah but if you are not in the invite list you can't join15:05
IdleOnenow you are so problem solved15:05
gnomefreakoh15:05
gnomefreakIdleOne: thanks15:05
IdleOnesure thing15:05
gnomefreakbrb i am going to try something15:05
IdleOnenot sure why some gets +v on join and some don't :/15:06
gnomefreakyay it works. thanks again15:07
IdleOneno problem15:07
bazhangsupport from her seems to be: buy a different card15:08
gnomefreakthat is bad support IMHO15:09
bazhangyep. first it was 'crack open your computer and take out the wireless card', now this15:10
IdleOnewell if it ain't broke and you can't use it. buy a different one!15:11
bazhangand giving out completely wrong info about 64bit ubuntu15:11
IdleOnewell a lot of that happens15:11
IdleOnenobody really knows why the site says not to use 64bit15:12
bazhangthat was watching the channel for about 15 minutes alone15:12
IdleOneonly real reason I can find is that flash is messed up15:12
IdleOnebut flash works awesome for me in 64bit :/15:12
IdleOneso even that isn't a reason15:12
IdleOnesaw a lot of FUD this morning, from qwert and katsumi15:14
bazhangugh qwert15:14
IdleOnewell not really FUD but dubious help15:14
IdleOnehe had a user compile alsa for some reason but left him with a half compiled alsa15:15
IdleOneI saw this after the fact so couldn't really do much about it15:15
bazhangqwert did?15:16
IdleOneyup15:16
IdleOnecouple hours back15:16
IdleOneworst part is that the user has intel ICH8 which should just work, probably only needed to unmute15:17
bazhangright abhijit hdaintel15:18
IdleOneyeah15:18
bazhangqwert is the same person who called ops in multiple channels to get technical help and was spoofing ops realname as his own, iirc15:20
IdleOneyes15:22
IdleOnehe was spoofing mac0 yesterday and I made it clear that it was not acceptable.15:23
gnomefreakwhy do i get this feeling that mac0 was warned/kick/ban in the last week or 215:51
bazhangqwert was an issue so not surprised if so (well still is)15:53
IdleOnegnomefreak: he/she was and still is to an extent15:55

* maco blinks16:27
IdleOneannon: how can we help?16:28
QwertHow to find ops of channel?16:28
IdleOneQwert: /msg chanserv help16:28
IdleOneQwert: if there is nothing else Please part the channel.16:29
IdleOneZykoticK9: what's up?16:29
ZykoticK9IdleOne, not much - just wanted to see outcome of annon16:29
bazhangZykoticK9, no spectating please16:29
QwertIdleOne: It says - >chanserv< help16:30
ZykoticK9ok sorry - good bye16:30
IdleOneZykoticK9: I see, well we have a no idle rule here. Please feel free to read the logs :)16:30
IdleOneQwert: this is not a support channel. for help with chanserv ask in #freenode16:30
IdleOnethank you.16:30
IdleOneannon: you said you wanted to ask about channel rules. Please ask.16:31
QwertIdleOne: Well that still din't clear my query16:31
IdleOneQwert: Like I said this is not a support channel. help with chanserv/nickserv/memoserv ask in #freenode.16:31
QwertIdleOne: Oh.. Okay Thanks :)16:32
IdleOnewelcome16:32
annonIdleOne: first off, I'm not trying to troll here, I want to clarify that. second, I read the rules and it says one should avoid offensive language regarding "war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, potentially illegal activities and suicide." I don't see how the word r007 and I said falls into that or is even offensive. I want it to be clarified because IMHO there's a big difference between banning offensive *behavior* and bann16:32
annoning words which are perfectly neutral.16:32
IdleOneNow please /part this channel. there is a no idle rule here16:32
bazhangQwert, please part the channel, thanks16:33
Qwertbazhang: Would you please spare a moment in PM. I understand I shouldn't spectate.16:34
macoQwert: and thanks for stopping stealing my name16:34
macooh. left already16:34
bazhangugh16:34
IdleOneannon: it also says that Ubuntu irc channels are family friendly. I don't want my 10 year old son who uses Ubuntu seeing the word shit flung about like it is ok. Please keep the language clean is all we are asking.16:34
IdleOneyou are old enough and have enough common sense to know what words are acceptable16:35
IdleOnebesides when you use terms like winshit, winblows etc. it makes you look like a fanboy. the product is called Windows. use it's name properly.16:36
Qwertbazhang: I'm sorry but would you spare a moment in private chat?16:37
bazhangQwert, busy right now sorry16:37
IdleOneanything else annon ?16:37
Qwertbazhang: Thank you16:37
annonIdleOne: I respect that and you're finally the one who makes the rules and I'll respect that. but if I may offer my personal opinion, I do think you're going too far. it's not the words or the letters which are bad, it's the context. and protecting your son from seeing 4 letters in a particular order is completely missing the point, but that's not my decision to make. also, as I said, I wasn't the one who came up with "winshit". I was merely la16:38
annonughing at what r007 said.16:38
annonno, nothing else.16:39
annonnice talking to you.16:39
annonbesides, Katsumi32 is being offensive all the time and even racist in PMs towards me. No one seems to care about that.16:39
IdleOnethank you, I appreciate you understanding, for the record I didn't make the rules I do enforce them.16:39
elkyWell, PMs are not monitored by us.16:40
IdleOneannon: nothing I can do about what people PM. I suggest you ignore it16:40
annonok16:40
IdleOneagain thanks for understanding. have a good day.16:41
annonyou too.16:41
bazhanghisto, hi16:42
bazhanghisto, please dont idle here16:42
bazhanghe's been idle here around two hours16:44
topylitrue about katsumi32 btw16:46
bazhangreally16:46
IdleOnehe is sending racist PM's?16:47
topylino no, being offensive in channels16:47
IdleOnehe/she I haven't figured it out yet16:47
IdleOneoh16:47
ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (xnqp19 appears to be abusive - 6)16:48
topyliwell he walks the line and pushes it from time to time, not always so gently. i haven't taken the time yet to talk to him more16:49
topylialso very good at sensing when it's best to /part just before someone removes him :)16:50
IdleOneheh16:50
IdleOnesign of a good troll16:50
topylior a standard school kid :)16:51
IdleOneI was to busy with chasing girls in school16:51

FlannelHi collabra, how can we help you?19:35
collabracurious if anyone has made a decision concerning my ban from #ubuntu19:36
collabrai would like to return19:36
Flannelcollabra: It's not a decision, it's a discussion and understanding that we need to have.19:37
Flannelcollabra: And I'd be more than happy to have that discussion with you right now if you've got time and are willing.19:38
collabramy understanding is that you were probably right in that linux is ever configurable, to the point you may have been able to take the persons concern about going from ubuntu desktop to ubuntu server... I give you that,...19:39
collabrai was in a poor mood, i admit.... and i apologize to you for the way i acted19:39
collabrasure...19:39
Flannelcollabra: That's good.  Should we expect that sort of behavior whenever you're in a poor mood? or was it a one-time thing?19:40
collabrai've acted out before in the channel,... nothing to the degree of that night,... i'm starting to realize that the most important thing is helping the 'clients' solve their problems... i have no excuse and no,... it's not typical behavior of mine.19:42
FlannelGood to hear.19:43
Flannelcollabra: as an aside, are you all sorted out on the fact that all flavors of Ubuntu use the same repositories?19:43
collabrai understand that they do,... i also understand that a 'default' install of 'server' doesn't include them,... am i wrong...?19:44
Flannelcollabra: Yeah.  That's inaccurate.19:45
FlannelAll installs, server, kubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntu, etc, share the same repositories (https://archive.ubuntu.com or one of its mirrors)19:45
collabrahmmm....then i was given incorrect information in #ubuntu-server.... they told me they need to be enabled.19:45
FlannelIf you do perform an install from an alternate (or server, or minimal) CD without being connected to the internet, they may be disabled in your sources.list (with the CD being the only repository enabled)19:46
collabraand that night, i was going off my own experience that i believe in 9.04 or 8 that they wern't enabled... again, i apologize.19:46
collabrato you and to the group19:46
Flannelcollabra: No worries.  We've all had bad nights at some point.  The important thing is growing and learning from them.19:47
Flannelcollabra: I've removed your ban in #ubuntu, please join there now to verify that I did it correctly.19:47
collabrai have to admit,... with my current knowledge,... i'm not a noob,... but absolutely not anywhere i ought to be for having used linux for roughly 5 years....19:48
Flannelcollabra: Eh, there is no "should be here" benchmark.  It's actually evidence of how far we've come when people can use the OS without being forced to know all about its internals.19:49
collabrathank you Flannel,... i'm very glad having resolved this issue.... truly,...19:49
collabrayeah,...19:50
collabrathis 'thing' is the most complicated piece of software i've ever used.... the learning curve is immense19:50
collabraan i admit i'm not raising it as i should19:51
FlannelEh.  Again, one of the overarching goals is to make the learning curve as habitable as possible.  I wouldn't worry about it.19:51
collabrain the future, please,... i dunno,... it's in my personallity at times,... but i can be turned pretty quickly,... if you ever see me getting out of hand,. or giving bad advice,... please stop me... :)19:52
Flannelcollabra: sounds good.  Anything else we can help with today?19:53
collabrai think it's the fact connections are hard to make...19:53
collabrano,.. thank you again Flannel: i look forward to working and learning with you.19:53
collabrahave a good day....19:54
FlannelOn the internet it's sometimes easy to forget that you're talking to real people on the other side of the screen, yeah.19:54
Flannelcollabra: You too.19:54
Tm_TFlannel: well handled, thanks (:19:56
FlannelTm_T: My pleasure20:04

IdleOneI think songer is running a script. basically it tells people not to write in all capital letters or next time you will be removed22:46
nhandlerLooks like you were right IdleOne22:47
macojrib, IdleOne: why shouty shout?22:47
nhandlerIdleOne: Why not PM first instead of removing?22:47
macooh wait thats why22:47
jribmaco: because songer seemed like a bot22:47
jribI was/am in pm with him22:47
macoyeah i said that and /then/ read back22:47
IdleOnenhandler: I should of tried that first. I suppose22:48
IdleOneshould have22:48
jribI'm not sure he understands me though, he's asking me how I am :/22:49
nhandlerAcross the board, I think we could do a better job of not using a remove/ban as a first line of defense. A PM (maybe combined with a short 10/15 minute quiet, autobleh's /at is nice) works wonders in most cases.22:49
nhandlerjrib: Is it a bot? Language issue? Or something else?22:49
jribnhandler: language issue, it's a person though22:49
nhandlerAlright. That is at least one good thing. Maybe try using google translator to talk in his native language22:50
erUSULIdleOne: what's up22:50

IdleOneerUSUL: it's your channel?22:53

erUSULit is now in #ubuntu-es22:54
nhandlermaco: Well, I have no clue what that #defocus comment was about. Tell him he can PM freenode staff about issues with that channel22:54
IdleOneerUSUL: thanks for your help :)22:56
