[01:50] <Chaos2358> hi I was banned from ubuntu and ubuntu off topic a while ago and after conversing ikonia lifted my ban in ubuntu and told me he would lift the ban in off topic after a few days if i didnt flip out and verbally assault anyone else. i can't seem to catch ikonia online" been trying for three days" is there anyone else who can help me??
[05:37] <rww> IdleOne: yolandi is now echoing #ubuntu to me in PM, fyi
[05:38] <rww> also to gbear14275, by the look of it
[05:38] <IdleOne> ok
[05:38] <IdleOne> let me know if there are more
[05:39] <rww> looks like they stopped, thanks
[06:36] <bazhang> he/she is doing that lapdance stuff again? he/she was doing that in #ubuntu before I became an op, so the "I'm new" is counter-factual
[06:55] <Flannel> lapdance looks like laplace at a glance.
[07:41] <elky> eww eww eww eww eww
[07:43] <Flannel> elky: what?
[07:44] <elky> Flannel, creepies in -ot
 hooray, we have an attractive channel op for a change! <ohshaith55> elky's a gal? <ohshaith55> now i'm gonna fall all over you!
[07:45] <elky> etc
[07:45] <elky> eww eww eww
[07:46] <Flannel> classy.
[07:47] <elky> Yeah.
[09:36] <ikonia> nice one jpds
[09:37] <jpds> Just the one?
[09:37] <ikonia> yes
[09:46] <KB1JWQ> It's been a fairly quiet night, not to jinx it.
[09:46] <KB1JWQ> Network-wide, anyway.
[09:48] <ikonia> lab: hello
[09:48] <lab> ikonia, sup
[09:49] <ikonia> lab: you've been ban forwarded to this channel as you kept changing your nickname in the #ubuntu channel
[09:49] <ikonia> lab: multiple people asked you to stop and you kept doing it, so you ended up getting forwarded here
[09:50] <lab> ikonia, sorry i was trying to find a name not registered in freenode. i didn't realize iw as in the ubuntu channle.
[09:50] <ikonia> ok, have you found a nickname you want to use ?
[09:50] <lab> ikonia, yeah this one is fine for now
[09:51] <ikonia> so if I remove the ban, you'll stop swapping nicknames in the channel ?
[09:51] <lab> ikonia, of course. it was a mistake.
[09:51] <ikonia> lab: no problem then, the ban has been removed, you're welcome to leave this channel and rejoin #ubuntu
[09:52] <lab> ikonia, thanks , & sorry for the trouble
[10:38] <elky> Heads up, bacta's active.
[10:38] <ikonia> oh good
[10:39] <ikonia> not in any channels I'm in, so good luck staff
[10:39] <elky> so far just -nz
[10:40] <elky> Now in #f
[10:41] <ikonia> f# ?
[10:41] <ikonia> #f?
[10:41] <ikonia> being an idiot in #freenode too
[10:41] <ikonia> ahh #f
[10:43] <elky> Oh $deity. There was just a non-ironic A/S/L exchange in -nz.
[10:43]  * elky cries.
[10:59] <ikonia> all quiet now
[11:00] <elky> Well of course, you've spooked him by joining there.
[11:00] <ikonia> excellent
[11:13] <elky> That was so a password, hah
[11:15] <ikonia> ?
[11:15] <elky> ooaaaoo in -ot
[11:15] <elky> b17ch35 is so a password, not kittehspamz
[11:15] <ikonia> ah
[11:15] <ikonia> stupid lie to tell
[11:16] <elky> He's been told to change it, and he didn't argue.
[11:17] <jpds> I'm not arguing; I'm just stating why I'm right.
[11:17] <elky> Though, kittehspamz is a reasonable face-saving device for wrong window passwords. Gives you a few minutes before most people will conclude ;)
[11:23] <gnomefreak> why was +1 closed instead of they way it was set (+m)?
[12:26] <gnomefreak> ok why is +1 being forward to #u if there are 75+ people in it. shouldnt we either remove them or open the channel?
[12:28] <gnomefreak> and its muted. if we forard it than noone should be in there. please un forward it and leave it muted(makes most sense since it saves us from removeing 75 people)
[12:28] <gnomefreak> forward even
[12:33] <Pici> gnomefreak: We usually don't kick everyone out when we close it.
[12:33] <gnomefreak> we shouldnt close it anyway than
[12:33] <gnomefreak> not to mention it screws up my channel order, but why have users in there if it is being closed?
[12:34] <gnomefreak> we had talked about this the other day, dont recall what my last6 time here was i think release day) but we decided to mute it and leave it open
[12:35] <gnomefreak> the way it is atm is redundant
[12:35]  * Pici sighs
[12:35] <gnomefreak> well it is
[12:41] <elky> !tonyyarusso
[12:41] <elky> buh bai to that.
[12:42] <elky> !forget tonyyarusso
[12:42] <Pici> How could you forget tonyyarusso?
[12:45] <jussi> meh, he wass weird anyway :P
[12:45] <jussi> å
[12:45] <jussi> whoops...
[12:57] <bazhang> the Hat!
[12:58] <jpds> Gandi's hosting platform going down!
[13:06] <elky> jpds, yeah, rebooting 6k servers, not in the slightest bit envious of that.
[13:07] <jpds> elky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8_Kfjo3VjU
[13:16] <gnomefreak> does anyone know Yawner?
[13:18] <elky> oh my... that is... bwahahahahahahaha
[13:47] <Pici> gnomefreak: Any qualms about opening up +1 ?
[13:56] <bazhang> * [Vhogue] (vogue@be.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.afraid.bz): Eh?  <---shades of Gary
[13:57] <Gary> bazhang: not me, but I've seen that host (or similar) before, and the user was sane
[13:57] <bazhang> Gary, referring to your !factoid of yore :)
[13:58] <Gary> I know O_O  be afriad!
[13:58] <bazhang> hehe
[13:58] <Gary> or even afraid
[14:00] <jussi> !gary
[14:00] <jussi> no more gary factoid...
[14:01] <seeker> !Gary-#ubuntu-offtopic
[14:01] <Gary> the factoid is no longer, long live the factoid!
[14:04] <ikonia> is my connection borked ?
[14:04] <Pici> hm?
[14:04] <ikonia> my connection appeared to go a bit funny then
[14:04] <bazhang> ikonia, many happy returns
[14:05] <ikonia> ah, thank you
[14:07] <jussi> ikonia: you havent parted since yesterday
[14:08] <Gary> ikonia: it's your birthday?

[14:13] <gnomefreak> Pici: the natty repos have been open for a while now looks like shortly after release of 10.10
[14:13] <IdleOne> since the 14th
[14:13] <IdleOne> maybe earlier
[14:13] <gnomefreak> happy birthday ikonia ?
[14:13] <bazhang> invite only
[14:15] <gnomefreak> if i was only the tool chain i would agree but since new kernel and other non toolchain packages are uplloaded it should be open IMHO
[14:15] <gnomefreak> s/i/if
[14:15] <gnomefreak> it :(
[14:16] <elky> That should be the last of my connection fun.
[14:16] <elky> Somehow my bip config got overwritten by 1.2gb of binary nonsense.
[14:16] <elky> Gosh, have you people not learned anything about obnoxious ascii art from me?
[14:16] <IdleOne> nope :( show us again please
[14:17] <Pici> gnomefreak: open sesame
[14:17] <gnomefreak> thanks
[14:17] <elky> Sorry, 1.8gb of nonsense.

[18:44] <Pici> yikes.
[18:45]  * jussi huggles maco
[18:53] <EvilPhoenix> question, is it against policies to help a user who wants to get any user to have the powers of the root user?
[18:55] <IdleOne> what is not supported is enabling the root account but all other user can have sudo privs if that is what you mean
[18:55] <EvilPhoenix> ehh
[18:56]  * EvilPhoenix reads #ubuntu-server
[18:56] <EvilPhoenix> someone stated their question in a manner interpreted as "how can I make every user get the same permissions as root iwthout sudo"
[18:56] <EvilPhoenix> without*
[18:57] <topyli> then the answer is "you can't"
[18:57] <EvilPhoenix> that's what I thought
[18:57] <EvilPhoenix> thank you :)
[18:57] <Pici> Hrm.
[21:00] <guntbert> during the last 6 months I found no one who accepted ebox as a substitute for webmin - so I suggest omitting the pointer from the webmin factoid
[21:02] <IdleOne> not sure I undestand how ommiting the ebox pointer would be helpful
[21:02] <IdleOne> omitting*
[21:03] <guntbert> IdleOne: in that keping it leads to a lot of questions about ebox - and not one person came and said they actually used it - so ...
[21:03] <IdleOne> users asking about webmin need to know that it is no longer supported and offering them the "equivalent" in Ubuntu can only be helpful to them
[21:04] <IdleOne> guntbert: if they chose to not use ebox that is another story and if they insist on using webmin which is no longer supported and ask questions about it we can refer them to other channels or a forum.
[21:04] <guntbert> IdleOne: exactly, thats why I want to keep the factoid (see my edit request above) but ebox is in no way "equivalent"
[21:06] <IdleOne> yes, I see your edit but my worry is that just telling them it isn't supported any longer is not helpful.
[21:06] <guntbert> IdleOne: in my eyes ebox is a configuration monster trying to eat your system - it uses only proprietary config files and there seems to be no way back from it - whereas stopping to use webmin is easy
[21:06] <IdleOne> ebox may not be equal to webmin but it is what is supported in Ubuntu
[21:07] <guntbert> IdleOne: to my knowledge ebox has gone commercial.... and I never actually saw ebox support from ubuntu anywhere
[21:07] <IdleOne> it is still in the repos
[21:09] <guntbert> IdleOne: yes, sure - but I'd rather tell people to use a text editor (and their brain :-) than ebox - believe me, I gave it a try
[21:09] <IdleOne> hehe
[21:09] <IdleOne> well perhaps discuss it with other ops in here see what they think
[21:10] <guntbert> IdleOne: should that mean "you will"  or "I shall" ?
[21:11] <IdleOne> guntbert: you should, since you have experience using ebox
[21:11] <maco> i think it was the word "well" not the contraction "we'll"
[21:11] <IdleOne> yes, sorry I meant well and not we'll
[21:11] <guntbert> IdleOne: ok, will do :-)
[21:12] <IdleOne> I use well to much
[21:13] <guntbert> IdleOne: you wrote "well", but I was not quite certain :-) and didn't want to insist in a matter where maybe you wanted to take it
[21:14] <IdleOne> I just feel that remove the ebox pointer would make the factoid, final, in the sense " We don't support it and don't have anything else to offer".
[21:14] <IdleOne> removing*
[21:16] <guntbert> thats exactly what is happening now (except its not "us" who took the support away), thats been an upstream decision and ahd also to do with the fact that the webmin team didn't want to work on incorporating debian configs ...
[21:16] <guntbert> *had
[21:18] <guntbert> please be so kind and point some other ops to my edit request - I shall join tomorrow again to argue it
[21:18] <IdleOne> okie dokie.
[21:19] <guntbert> g'night and thx for your time
[21:19] <IdleOne> no problem
