bazhangugh. almoparmeg just cant listen00:57
bazhangchaos2358 was given several solutions to his issue (assuming this was the mp3 to aiff conversion issue) but ignored them and kept on asking.01:09
Ellis2358?stats p03:01
Ellis2358i need to be un banned from ubuntu03:01
Ellis2358!ops03:01
ubottuHelp! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) -  Tm_T, tritium, elky, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, imbrandon, PriceChild, Madpilot, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, tsimpson, gnomefreak, jussi, topyli, or nhandler!03:02
ubottuEllis2358 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops ()03:02
Ellis2358i need to be unbanned in #ubuntu03:02
Ellis2358hello?03:03
Tm_TEllis2358: patience please03:03
Ellis2358ok03:04
bazhangbanned in #ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic yesterday03:06
Ellis2358thats me03:06
Tm_Tyes03:06
bazhangEllis2358, you know why you were banned?03:06
bazhangas Chaos2358?03:07
Ellis2358yep because i flipped out on someone for flagging everything i posted even though i wasnt in the wrong channel03:07
Ellis2358yes as chaos03:07
bazhangthis was the mp3 to aiff issue?03:07
Ellis2358the issue was support for sox which is ubuntu related and therefore not misposted03:08
Ellis2358but yes getting recognition in sox for mp3 was the cause03:08
bazhangyou were quite abusive03:10
Ellis2358i was quite aggitated03:10
bazhangbest to step back from the keyboard when that happens03:11
Ellis2358i told c3l that it was not misposted yet he continued to " harrass" me03:11
Ellis2358now #ubuntu-off topic i have and am not going to try to make an excuse for. i was really out of line there but by that time i was just fed up03:12
Tm_TEllis2358: there's no excuses for bad behaviour03:13
bazhang#ubuntu was out of line as well03:13
Ellis2358which is why i said i have no excuse for what happened in #ubuntu-offtopic and i'm not trying to make one. I feel that though i took it a bit far in #ubuntu i was not as "out of line" as it was made out to be. when a person refuses to let me post a question simple because he or she doent think it is in the appropriate channel he or she is just as out of line03:15
IdleOneNo he or she may have been wrong03:16
Ellis2358ok well i guess we just have to agree to disagree on this because i took it as a manner of disrespect and disregard but either way the damage is done and the lesson learned03:17
bazhangEllis2358, you were very abusive in #ubuntu .03:18
Ellis2358look the only reason i really even care about the ban is because i've been using ubuntu for less then two weeks. not everything can be found in the normal documentation. i like ubuntu but if i cant get a little help with it i'll just go back to windows . so what is the deal with the ban?03:19
bazhangEllis2358, okay03:19
bazhangEllis2358, you were asked to tone it down, then quieted03:19
Ellis2358will the ban be lifted?03:19
bazhangplease read the code of conduct and guidelines03:20
Ellis2358i have03:20
bazhang!coc | Ellis235803:20
ubottuEllis2358: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ .  For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct .03:20
Ellis2358i read it after i was banned03:20
bazhanghttp://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines   <---- Ellis235803:20
Ellis2358as i said i read this after i was banned03:21
bazhangEllis2358, as you say you think you were not out of line in your behavior in #ubuntu , I suggest you read again03:21
Ellis2358look i know my language was out of line. thats been established. i also believe that i was being unjustlly harrassed as i never directed a question at c3l before he repeatedly flagged me. will the ban be lifted?03:23
bazhangEllis2358, there are rarely perma-bans03:23
Ellis2358when will i be able to access the irc channel?03:24
bazhangEllis2358, please return in 24hrs to discuss.03:26
Ellis2358you know what. this is too much. all i wanted was to be able to ask a question and get an answer. not to be harrassed and not to have to flip out on some guy. and most definately not to have to come to a "trial" to be able to get assistance. i'm out of the marine corp and i shouldn't have to deal with this.03:27
bazhangEllis2358, best to cool off and come back in 24hrs to discuss, then03:28
Ellis2358i'm cool but i have two customers waiting to get there iphones back which are already going to be late because i couldnt get the required programs to do what i had to do. I'm not coming back in 24 hours to discuss this. i'm a grown man and i've served my country. i admitted i was in the wrong and i've learned a lesson from it if that isn't good enough so be it but lets not waste anymore time03:30
bazhangokay.03:30
Ellis2358okay what?03:30
bazhangyour ban wont be lifted at this time.03:31
Ellis2358well in that case thank you for wasting a half hour of your time and mine. i'm going back to windows. and i must say you guys are trying to over govern a support channel. i spent three years in kandahar afghanistan and didnt have this much red tape to cross03:33
Ellis2358also thank you for turning me off of linux as well03:33
bazhangEllis2358, you are welcome to return in 24hrs to discuss your various bans.03:34
Ellis2358no thank you03:34
bazhangokay. there is no 'un-ban on demand'03:35
Ellis2358thats fine. HOO RAH Lt.Col. M. Ellis doesn't take orders from a computer03:36
IdleOneEllis2358: if you have no intention on returning in 24hrs to discuss the bans and has you have been told the ban will not be lifted tonight. You are done here, please part the channel as we have a no idling rule.03:36
Ellis2358HOO RAH!!03:37
IdleOneGood soldier, parted when told.03:37
IdleOneWould it be useful if the bot logged what a user says in channel when +q for BT that is?03:43
bazhanguseful, but most of the @banlogs currently give an error, so not sure how well it will happen/be implemented03:44
bazhangError: No log for ID 29xxx available03:45
IdleOneI haven't seen any errors like that03:45
IdleOneyou got a specific #03:45
IdleOne?03:45
bazhangnearly everyone I get is that03:45
bazhangyep03:45
bazhangmasked to protect the innocent03:45
IdleOnePM so i can test03:46
bazhangugh nogo ban evading again03:56
bazhangtempted to just ban hinet.net03:56
IdleOneis he banned in #ubuntu? I don't see any ban04:02
bazhangyep04:02
bazhangsearch term hinet.net in bt04:02
IdleOnethere he is04:04
bazhangand his support consists of xyz is not ubuntu04:04
bazhangPM'd him but no response04:05
IdleOnegoes all the way back to March04:05
IdleOne*!*@122-124-*.dynamic.hinet.net   should be enough to stop him04:07
ubottuIn #ubuntu, kwtm said: ubottu, vi is way better than emacs, RIGHT????06:16
ikoniahello collabra10:03
collabrahi ikonia10:03
collabrai was looking for an op,... doesn't look like he's here10:03
ikoniawho are you after ?10:04
collabrawell,... maybey you could help me,... the op that i had that dissagreement with,... i was lookin for him10:04
ikoniawho is that10:05
collabrai'm trying to think,.... not sure,.. i should have his handle memorized.10:05
collabrahmmm,...10:05
ikoniahang on10:06
ikoniaflannel ?10:06
collabrai was gonna ask him a question bout linux.... thought he could help me10:06
collabramaybey,... sounds familiar10:06
ikoniawell, this isn't a support channel, so asking linux questions in here wouldn't go down to well10:06
collabrai understand,... i just wanted to ask someone i could trust10:07
collabrathank you ikonia,...10:07
ikoniawell, you're welcome to use #ubuntu to ask ubuntu questions10:07
ikoniaor there is ##linux for generic linux issues10:07
collabrayeah,.. i'll go back there10:07
collabrathanks10:07
ikoniabased on his comments in BT I suspect he didn't want to ask a linux question10:08
bazhangthe server uses different repos fellow?10:09
ikoniayes10:10
ikoniaand there is no gui option after 9.0410:10
bazhangstrange10:10
* popey boggles at ##linux10:52
popeymint rip out pulseaudio10:52
popeyyet more reasons not to support it10:52
ikoniapopey: mint is just the same as ubuntu, blah blah blah10:53
popeywell indeed10:53
ikoniaor is that just the reason the fools use to get support10:53
persiaMint isn't the worst of the derivatives, but certainly the most popular of the uncooperative ones.10:54
popeyhow do you define uncooperative?10:54
popeyor is that a short question with a long answer?10:54
mneptokpopey: STFU10:54
ikoniaI don't see it as a bad distro at all, it just does it's own thing which meants its nothing to do with ubuntu10:54
persiapopey, Not actively participating as part of the Ubuntu project.10:54
popeymneptok: NO U!10:54
* mneptok polishes his halo10:54
ikoniawhoaaa10:55
popeyright10:55
persiaikonia, I think it's worth acknoledging that Mint is a derivative, and hope that over the long term, we can share more.10:55
persiaBut, yeah, I wouldn't put in the same category as stuff like sabily or ichthux, who do participate.10:56
ikoniapersia: it is a derivative, but it does it's own thing, so nothing to do with ubuntu10:56
mneptokikonia: using your definition, Ubuntu is not a derivative of Debian. ;)10:56
ikoniamneptok: it's not, it's based on debian10:56
ikoniait does it's own thing too10:56
mneptokikonia: or, rather, Ubuntu has nothing to do with Debian10:56
ikonianothing to do with the debian project10:56
popeyi think thats stretching it a bit10:56
popeyfor comedic effect10:56
persiaikonia, Hrm?  Every derivative does it's own thing.  Some derivatives (sabily, ichthux, lubuntu, sugar remix, possibly more) choose to do so from within Ubuntu, hoping to reach flavour one day (or having given up the idea as they were deemed unsuitable).10:57
ikoniapersia: yes, so each one is nothing to do with the parent10:57
persiaOthers (Mint, gNewSense, etc.) are less directly cooperative.10:57
ikoniado they have to cooperate ?10:58
ikoniaor can they just use the packages to do their own thing10:58
persiaikonia, See, that's where I disagree.  Why shouldn't we provide support for Sabily users: as there's nothing blocking any random person who installed Ubuntu Desktop from adding/removing packages until they end up with Sabily (including every setting, bell, and whistle).10:58
ikonia?10:59
persiaWhereas gNewSense changes packages, so we can't necessarily understand or fix their bugs.10:59
ikoniaif a user choses to use 3rd party repos from a coperative or uncopertaive derivative, it's not supported10:59
ikoniaits the same10:59
elkyThe main reason there's u/ku/xu channels is because of the gui differences, not because they're flavours10:59
persiaRight, but Sabily, Sugar, Lubuntu, Ichthux, etc. all only use official repos.10:59
ikoniapersia: apologies, I'm not seeing what your saying11:00
persiaWhereas Mint, gNewSense, etc. use other repos.11:00
ikoniaso /11:00
popeyso if mint got all their changes into universe they'd be more welcome?11:00
persiaThat's how I differentiate between "cooperative" and "uncooperative", mostly.11:00
persiapopey, I can't see any reason not to support Mint if they were fully participant in Ubuntu.11:00
popeygotcha11:01
ikoniawow11:01
persiaThat they have a 3rd party repo makes them unsupportable (as ikonia says)11:01
ikoniatheir intenral changes also make them unsupportable11:01
ikoniawhy would we support 3rd party distros11:01
ikoniaactually, forget that, I'm out11:01
persiaikonia, My point is that what I call "cooperative derivatives" aren't really 3rd party.11:01
popeydepends on your definition of "support"11:01
persiaMint isn't cooperative, so gets no support.11:01

bazhangbihari still banned?14:41
PiciYes.14:42
PiciWhen his cloak goes up he'll get the mute affect of being in the channel while a ban is applied.14:42
bazhangokay. saw him join using cloaked and non cloaked in the last couple of minutes14:44
PiciMe too, but then the 'changing host' quit happened.14:45

ubottuilovefairuz called the ops in #ubuntu-offtopic ()15:55
Picitopyli: Probably because they forget that you're an op. bazhang and IdleOne don't have rights there.15:57

IdleOneWe don't have rights on IRC15:58
bazhangheh15:58
IdleOneit's a privilege not a right15:58
IdleOne:P15:58
Picihelp help I'm being opressed etc...15:58
bazhang!free speech15:58
ubottuPlease don't pepper the channel with cries of buzzwords like "free speech!", especially when you don't know what they mean nor are they applicable to the current situation.  See http://tonyyarusso.com/politics/what-free-speech-isnt for more information.15:58
IdleOnesince topyli already thought I had rights, maybe I should :P15:59

jussideactivatedpork?16:09
bazhangyep16:10
bazhangdeactivatedpork> blablablabla, ban away16:10
bazhang<deactivatedpork> it wont keep me out16:10
alabdGood day all , ikonia when will ban be removed ?16:13
jussihello alabd. The ban will be removed when you are willing to follow instructions from the operators and have proved this in other channels.16:16
alabdother channels ?16:17
alabdjussi: hello16:18
jussialabd: anything starting with #ubuntu- or #kubuntu-16:18
alabdok but i-humble don't want  use other channels , support is required , is any channel for support too ?16:20
alabdmy user is banned from #ubuntu16:20
jussialabd: you were consistently offtopic and I am reluctant to give you access back in there without seeing the change. If you desparately need linux support, you can try ##linux16:22
alabdbe sure i-humble will try to not be offtopic16:24
jussialabd: We have been through this before. I will not unban you without seeing improvement in other channels first.16:24
alabdok you mean if someone be banned 3 time in a channel by a specific OP , that user will be untrustable16:26
jussialabd: Ive been through your logs, Ive seen the situation very well. you have been banned from 2 channels and until I see an improvement in othe channels, I will not unban you.16:27
alabdjussi:  you should know a big problem of this channels is that they have not court , if they had i-humble would complain from The OP banned me 3 times , and be sure OPs also can make mistakes , they are not sinless , but who would listen to me as a user ? where is court ? (just for you to know The OP that banned me in #ubuntu for 3 times methink , made me troubles in other channels , and in some lead to my user ban)16:33
IdleOnealabd: I believe that jussi has made his position on this very clear and I dare say he speaks for the rest of the ops team on this matter. Please part the channel now as the ban will not be lifted until you prove yourself to be able to follow the channel rules. if you feel this decision is unjust you are welcome to bring it to the attention of the IRC council. You can find the email address at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/AppealProcess.16:41
Pici(This already has been brought before the ircc)16:42
popeyand the CC16:42
IdleOnewell then I guess it is done.16:43
IdleOnehe needs to part the channel16:43
topylialabd: please leave the channel now, as there is no issue we can help you with. as you know already, idling is not allowed16:48
alabdyes topyli sure , but a question16:49
alabdwho are those persons ?  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/AppealProcess , are they16:49
alabdare they judges ?16:49
alabdNeutral judges ?16:50
topylino, they are not judges. they are council members16:50
topyliyour question is off topic here, so please part16:50
alabdwill they listen to a user and will they punish an OP while they see he/she is faulty16:51
jussiyes, they will.16:51
topyliof course16:51
alabdwhich step ?16:51
topyliwell, punishment is probably not a very good word16:51
KB1JWQ"They adjudicate" is probably a better term.16:52
alabdcommunity-council AT SPAMFREE lists DOT ubuntu DOT com> OR <irc-council AT SPAMFREE lists DOT ubuntu DOT com>16:52
alabdKB1JWQ:  yes thanks16:52
* topyli looks up 'adjudicate'16:52
topyli:)16:52
alabdbut how will council Atone my time that has been spent for that court ?16:55
alabdanyway this is offtopic hear16:55
alabdGod bless you16:55
IdleOneatone for his time?16:56
IdleOnewhat about my time?16:56
KB1JWQDon't feel you need to send those people to ##linux. :-P16:56
IdleOneand the time of all the other ops who have wasted time telling him the same thing over and over16:56
jpdsKB1JWQ: We could totally do that.16:59
