Karmic and above do not include KDE3, but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Karmic (or .../Lucid, etc.). This is not officially supported. Support, instructions, and ways to contribute can be found on the wikipage. [03:32] I'll remember that rww [03:37] !no, noroot is We do not support setting a root password. Please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [03:37] I'll remember that rww [04:41] ubottu: tell sanchaz-away about away [05:07] IdleOne: Why is there a +e on _Synergy_ in #ubuntu? [05:15] ah, never mind, found the relevant log [05:18] * rww PMs the user asking them to actually get exploit tested, because setting +es on nicks is not a good solution [05:19] What does +es do? [05:20] Jordan_U: +e, rather [05:20] * rww fails at pluralization [05:24] I tend to do things like "+e's". (even though it's gramatically incorrect) [05:25] (and for those wondering why +e somenick!*@* is a bad idea, it means that /nick somenick allows anyone to bypass any ban that might be set on them in the channel) [05:25] rww, he was not able to join the other because he was in the victim list. I set a +e but afterwards tsimpson removed from the list [05:25] the other day* [05:26] you can remove it now I guess [05:26] IdleOne: no he didn't :\ [05:27] he didn't what? [05:27] remove from the victim list? [05:27] They're still in the victims list and still banned by nick from the channel. [05:27] I removed the exempt and told the user in PM to go to -read-topic. [05:28] ok [05:28] sorry for any confusion I caused [05:28] no problem. it's just one of my pet peeves; I'd recommend +e $a:accountname in the future. [05:29] or "come back when the FloodBots aren't being crazy", but that might be a little harsh [05:29] oy vey, user just ping timedout. [05:30] I guess they won't have to join the channel themselves :\ [05:31] wouldn't +e $a:accountname still allow to bypass a ban? [05:31] no it wouldnt [05:32] I assume that everyone else guards their nickserv password with their life ;D [05:32] that's the exempt form we used in #ubuntu-women during Ridiculous Trollscapade 2010, btw ;) [06:09] Thoughts on "!windoze is Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked, and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making you and us look unreasonable."? [06:09] The factoid name isn't ideal; superior suggestions especially welcome. [06:10] I imagine !M$ probably isn't valid [06:10] !m$ is test! [06:10] I'll remember that, rww [06:10] !m$ [06:10] test! [06:10] Oh dear [06:10] the bot surpasses herself [06:11] rww: Well, start with that one, and we can alias other things to it, I suppose. [06:11] could start with !misspellings and alias !windoze, !m$, etc(?) to it. [06:13] That'll work. Except could misspellings be mistaken as an actual "spelling" issue instead? [06:13] some English major has to have come up with a specific word for this sort of thing [06:13] Hmm [06:14] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windoze redirects to "Satiric misspelling" >.> [06:19] Mmm, if I were to pick a dictionary word, I guess I'd lean towards travesty or parody. [06:20] And then, to patent it, you just add "using a computer" or "on the internet" [06:28] I've never seen anyone try to call !misspelling, I figure we just roll with that. [06:29] sounds good [06:29] !misspelling is Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked, and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making you and us look unreasonable. [06:29] I'll remember that, rww [06:29] !windoze is misspelling [06:29] !no, m$ is misspelling [06:29] I'll remember that rww [06:29] winblows [06:29] !winblows is misspelling [06:29] !winblows [06:29] Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked, and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making you and us look unreasonable. [06:30] "...making you and the rest of the community..." perhaps? [06:30] I don't like that "us" [06:30] But that might just be me [06:30] and the community in general? [06:30] works [06:31] !misspelling =~ s/and us/and the community in general/ [06:31] I'll remember that rww [06:31] or maybe ust "and the community" [06:31] or just "making the the community look" [06:31] with one the [06:31] maybe it should have three "the"s [06:32] !misspelling =~ s/you and the community in general/the community/ [06:32] I'll remember that rww [06:32] !misspellings [06:32] !misspelling [06:32] Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked, and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making the community look unreasonable. [06:32] !misspellings is misspelling [06:32] I'll remember that, rww [06:32] hah [06:38] s/unreasonable/immature? [06:40] Jordan_U: > [08:26] nobody noticed that rwrite is banevading now? mainly though because I didn't notice he's running his irc client on a system that runs ident and could've been banned without the nickname in the banmask [08:30] I don't honestly know what to do with him [08:30] too tired still [08:37] suggestions are taken in [08:37] which channel? [08:38] nvm, found it [08:38] I don't understand where the script writers get their SUCKY quit messages [08:39] I'd banforward *!*@zen.netx.org here, personally [08:40] yeah, but he's still on the channel [08:40] then kick him [08:40] I'd probably use the ident too, though [08:40] I wouldn't bother. Doesn't look like it's a shell service, just a personal server with an identd [08:42] _Synergy_'s now idling in -read-topic, for anyone following that topic. [08:45] @now Seoul [08:45] Current time in Asia/Seoul: December 28 2010, 17:45:18 [09:13] tsimpson: the logic of that? [09:14] [09:11:12] rm -rf [09:14] and no reply to /msg, so I just removed [09:15] right [09:15] well, I can't see what harm that command would do without defining what would be deleted, but YMMV [09:15] indeed, that's why I tried to /msg first [09:16] but seeing as it wasn't in response to anyone and was the only message they posted... [09:16] odd. maybe they mistyped into IRC instead of a terminal :\ [11:51] !pm > ox3a [18:23] !bot > AnggaDj98 [18:29] In ubottu, AnggaDj98 said: who is myrtti [18:30] In ubottu, AnggaDj98 said: !who is AnggaDj98 [18:31] what? [18:42] oh for goodness sake [18:43] congrats [18:44] why am I going in here instead of #ubuntu? [18:45] because we want you to discuss about something [18:46] you are using epic5 script package? [18:46] what are you talking about? [18:46] yeh [18:46] something wrogn with the script? [18:46] could you be kind enough to remove some of the quit messages it randomly uses? [18:46] sure [18:47] there's one that made me retch of disgust last night [18:47] sorry [18:47] I was not aware of it === rwr is now known as rawrite [18:48] thanks for your co-operation. I don't know what the developers were thinking when they conjured the "candy is dandy but chloroform keeps them still while I molest them" or something like that [18:48] and was confused why I was joining here instead of #ubuntu [18:48] sorry. I need to remove the lame epic script [18:48] not worth it [18:48] yeah, that happens, sorry bout... [18:52] that. [18:55] lol [18:55] at least they were agreeable :-) [18:56] I could've complained about the banevasion but I figured it wasn't worth the time and effort [18:56] * charlie-tca nods [18:57] if I see that quit message again I'll be most annoyed [20:43] Myrtti: well handled :) [21:10] !latest =~ s/ / / [21:10] I'll remember that rww [22:14] In #ubuntu, PerSeL said: ubottu: the 36 is stable I've checked [22:19] <_Synergy_> Ubuntu Ops please fix your bots. Every day I join Freenode on port #7000 (SSL) and your bots refuse me access to #ubuntu saying I have https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit. This has been going on for a long time. Disable that bot or fix it! [22:19] <_Synergy_> Thanks [22:20] _Synergy_: I've already PMed you about this. If it's fixed, type "test me" in #ubuntu-read-topic. [22:20] as that channel's /topic tells you. [22:20] <_Synergy_> The 'test me' option does not work. And it's beside the point [22:20] <_Synergy_> the bot should not be interfering with me anyways [22:20] It does work. It is in fact currently working [22:21] <_Synergy_> I do not have that exploit, I'm not even on the right port [22:21] It is now done. Have a nice day. [22:21] <_Synergy_> Your right - it's working today [22:21] <_Synergy_> But it's still not working the way it should. [22:21] <_Synergy_> thanks [22:39] !virus [22:39] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [22:39] !linuxvirus [22:39] The short life and hard times of a Linux Virus http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [22:39] Seems like these could be merged? [23:09] pleia2: What's the status on setting up a poll for the IRCC appointment process? I guess Christmas got in the way of it? :) [23:10] rww: yeah, we need lp admins to get us a full list of email addresses from the irc-members group [23:10] I think canonical is snoozing for the holidays [23:10] once we have the list we can set up the condorcet poll [23:11] the dropping of polls by LP has been a bit of a disaster TBH (I was under the impression that they'd be *adding* features to polling, not getting rid of them entirely!) [23:12] LP could do with an "Export to CIVS" feature. I know Ubuntu Women has the same issue, and I imagine others do too. [23:12] yeah, akgraner had to go to the lp admins to [23:12] too [23:12] now with complete removal of polls everyone will need to, it's bad [23:13] I wish I knew why this happened, or where the discussion about it was :( [23:13] anyway, sorry for the off-topicness, and apologies for not having a poll yet, I'm trying! [23:14] or just make user email addresses available to leaders of groups that the user is in, and have a warning about that on joining a group if the user's email address is hidden. iono. [23:14] yeah [23:14] oh and I'll extend Pici and jussi's terms another week if it comes to that, but I'm still hoping we get a poll in the next couple of days :) [23:16] thanks for working on it, either way. I'm not trying to rush you, was just wondering if I missed something :) [23:20] pleia2: it would probably be faster to just manually send everyone an e-mail through LP... [23:20] tonyyarusso: Assuming you value the anonymity stuff in CIVS, that doesn't work. [23:21] tonyyarusso: the email addresses needed to be added to CIVS [23:21] plus you are limited to how many you can send per day (maybe 20 or so?) [23:21] so either way, it doesn't really work [23:21] rww: what is CIVS? [23:21] the condorcet poll [23:21] tonyyarusso: Condorcet Internet Voting System [23:21] oooh, I see now. [23:21] Service ** [23:22] You set up a poll and feed it email addresses, it emails each address with a unique voting link, and then forgets the email addresses. so votes aren't tied to an individual at all. [23:22] pleia2: for the latter Canonical_response_time > len(ubuntu-irc-members) / 20 [23:23] yeah, but you still have the CIVS problem, since it's not linked to LP [23:23] to get all the addresses I could use a script to grab all the addresses, then contact everyone who doesn't have a public address... [23:23] the other option is using launchpadlib to pull public email addresses and then emailing ubuntu-irc saying to email $contact_person if you weren't in the pulled list, but that gets messy. [23:23] but this idea kind of givs me a headache :) [23:23] CIVS sounds like it could be a disease [23:23] which is what I did at some point for something [23:23] pleia2: yeah, it's a hassle [23:24] I'd wait on Canonical, especially since this isn't really time-sensitive imho. [23:24] I'll appeal directly to Mark if we don't get movement soon (I know he's *around* he was even answering mail on christmas) [23:24] Pici: agreed [23:25] pleia2: Those bloody open-source hippie heathens! ;) [23:25] tonyyarusso: I know! (I'm one of them) [23:29] Actually, I was online on Christmas too - all of our actual stuff happens on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day is "sit around in your pajamas until you decide maybe you should change at least for dinner" day. [23:30] I volunteered for work hours on Christmas Day (and New Years Day, actually). Free money :) [23:30] yay, free money [23:34] * tonyyarusso wonders how "I worked" equates to "free" [23:35] tonyyarusso: not many people return library books on Christmas Day. I did a negligable amount of work. [23:35] Maybe this is an odd mindset, but I like my job, so unless it's busy and stressful, it's free money :) [23:35] and we're understaffed, so it's usually not free money right now :<
