ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from kheer)00:38
rwwfixed00:38
ubottuevilvish called the ops in #ubuntu (YankeesFan)02:53
ubottuYankeesFan called the ops in #kubuntu ()02:56
Jordan_UWho is claydoh (that just mistakenly kicked yofel from #kubuntu)? Do Ubuntu members have op powers in #kubuntu, or why is there an op in #kubuntu that's not here in #ubuntu-ops?03:08
rwwa #kubuntu named op; no; because #ubuntu-ops is not an exhaustive container of core channel ops.03:09
gpcumm claydoh is a #kubuntu op, you can be a ubuntu member and be an op in a kubuntu channel.03:09
rwwThere are almost as many ops in #ubuntu alone as there are people in here, in fact ;)03:09
Jordan_Urww: Thanks, I don't know why I thought all core channel ops stayed here :)03:10
Picithey should be in here.03:11
gpcit is recommended but not compulsory iirc03:11
rwwgpc scares off many of them.03:12
gpcI do03:12
PiciBut theres some weirdness between IRC and differnt parts of the Ubuntu community.03:12
rwwIt's like how #ubuntu-irc theoretically has LoCo channel ops in it, but this is often not the case.03:13
rww(amongst other teams, obviously)03:13

rww!cookie | Amaranth03:44
ubottuAmaranth: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!03:44
rwwgpc: looks like they're doing an admirable job of getting that implemented themselves03:44
AmaranthYeah, that's what my comments are saying too :)03:44

gpcwhy did he join that channel?03:54
gpcout of the blue03:54

gpccould be a coincidence03:54
bazhangso why bother speculating03:54
gpcyou're right03:54
bazhanganonboots bears watching03:59
rwwanonboots is that person with the silly twitter account, isn't he?04:00
bazhanghe's the one who was saying "waiting for N00b questions"04:00

nhandlerHobbsee: By greifer, did you mean YankeesFan ?05:19
Hobbseenhandler: yes05:19
rwwray24 PMed me asking to be unbanned. I said no and then paraphrased !appeals at them, so if they wander in here, that's why.06:33
gpcwow at BT06:36
rwwalthough he has since informed me that he's banned from here06:36
gpche is06:36
gpcwith good reason06:36
gpcdid you read BT?06:36
rwwyes.06:37
gpcthink I'll let Pic i decide when he wants to lift the ban here06:37
rwwyeah, my reaction was along the lines of "oh well"06:38
bazhangHobbes is asking very random questions, and continuing to poll. I've asked him to stop several times already. He was on earlier doing the same.09:52
Jordan_UAs I understand it he wants to use Ubuntu so that he can pirate and install Windows...10:58
Jordan_UHe hasn't explicitly stated so, but he's said that he needs Ubuntu to be able to install Windows, and he says he also needs a torrent app. I don't think there are any legal torrents for Windows install isos...11:01
Jordan_UAnd he specifically said he was "downloading Windows".11:02
bazhanghard to tell. he just seems to be polling at random; xubuntu vs. ubuntu, filesystems advantages/disadvantages et c etc11:45
bazhangikonia, bipul` was jungli or not11:50
ikonianot %100, I believe so11:55
ikoniahe also shows up as other banned nicknames in BT11:55

ubottuIn #ubuntustudio, xyclo_ said: !, so I discovered my laptop is 64-bit compatible. 3Gb RAM, but plan to get to 6-8... I won't ask if it is worth it, I will just ask: For the typical audio apps (Jack, Ardour, H2, plugins, etc.) is it a pain to find 64bit versions of anything, or does it at all become an issue in terms of compatibility with other systems? kernel problems? Anything you can comment on? Thanks!16:11
gpcMikeAndPotatoes in #k is Hoober?17:12
Tm_Tgoober foober etc17:13
Tm_Tyes17:13
gpcyou may to remove him, he is kinda right about the app name but he will go on forever about it17:14
Tm_Tyup, on it17:14
Tm_Tbah, I'm slow apparently17:15
Tm_Twas about to ask him kindly stay on topic or leave17:16
gpcsadly staying on topic for him is not an option, unless you mean the topic of whatever he feels like ranting about17:18
gpcsomebody really should rename that app though17:18
Tm_Tgpc: well, then I would have a clear reason to remove him, not that I wouldn't have earlier already17:18
tsimpsonhe's under some idea that changing your nick/ident/IP combination means you can not be banned and so can not be ban evading17:20
tsimpsonand anything contrary to that assertion must be a lie and abusing the "technology" of IRC and the internet17:21
gpche is under the impression his doctor is wrong and that he shouldn't take his meds17:21
rwwtsimpson: reminds me of grexo >.<17:22
gpcTm_T: I know you already know this but best thing is to ignore him and let staff quiet him when they get bored enough17:22
Tm_Tgpc: ah, I already said what I was to say (:17:22
Tm_Tas in, that's enough for me, him, and any bystander, rest is up to him17:23
gpctrying to play in a poker tourney and follow his rantings. I am not doing to good at either hehe17:23
tsimpsonhe made the mistake of setting off my highlight while i'm watching cartoons, never ends well ;)17:24
gpchaha17:24
Tm_Ttsimpson: you should drop "TEcumseh" from your hilight list17:26
* genii-around makes a pot of coffee18:32
cakeIRCmay i have a listing of every place i am banned from currently18:35
cakeIRCwhoa18:45
cakeIRCthis can not be.18:45
cakeIRChow can two users, that are totally different be gone for exactly the same amount of time. 11 hours 32 minutes18:45
gpccakeIRC: it is very difficult to give you a list18:46
gpcconsidering all the different nicks and ips you have been banned under18:46
cakeIRCgpc, are you not proficient in the language of python18:46
cakeIRCgpc, that is an insult.18:46
gpccakeIRC: drop the attitude please18:46
gpcI am trying to help you here18:46
gpcthe best advice I can give you is to email the ircc and I believe they can get that list to you.18:47
jribcakeIRC: would be a good python exercise: write irc client, get #ubuntu* rooms, try to join, return bans18:47
cakeIRCgpc, nothing i have said deserved "drop your attitude". allow me to demonstrate. If you are proficient in python , write a script. That annoying but of yours surely was challenging.18:48
cakeIRCdid you copy and paste the code or something18:48
cakeIRCcome on i know this is can be done18:48
cakeIRCjrib!18:49
cakeIRCsaves the day18:49
cakeIRCbut yes i have these two users to handle18:49
gpccakeIRC: I am not inclined to do that for you. I told you who to contact and they can take care of it.18:49
PiciI'd ask what python has to do with anything, but then I'd get a response that didn't make any sense.18:49
cakeIRCpython is a decent language. you can get things done like what jrib described.18:49
jribcakeIRC: so get to it :)18:50
gpcNow that we are done here and you have the answer to your question please part this channel18:50
cakeIRCone question per join? sure i will rejoin and then put up my second question that you overlooked18:50
cakeIRChi18:50
cakeIRChow is it that two users can be gone for the same amount of idle time18:51
gpcsame user18:51
cakeIRCthat is unlikely yes?18:51
tsimpsoncakeIRC: I don't see how that's relevant?18:51
gpcno18:51
PiciHi.  Why does it matter and why do we care?18:51
PiciAnd above all, why is that relevant to us and this channel?18:51
cakeIRCif they are the same user then there is a big breach18:51
gpcno there isn't18:51
cakeIRCthe first i have known  a long time and the second i met yesterday. in fact i came to them18:51
cakeIRCgpc, let me finish please18:52
gpcno18:52
cakeIRCno u. please let me finish18:52
gpcit is not relevant to this channel and what we do here18:52
cakeIRCyour name is too short for me to not accidentally put on ignore.18:52
gpcgo ahead18:52
cakeIRClet me finish and you will see the relevance18:52
cakeIRCok18:52
tsimpsoncakeIRC: I have already told you the process you should follow, now you should wait18:52
gpccakeIRC: do you have me on ignore?18:53
cakeIRCtsimpson, i am waiting. this is question and answer time18:53
cakeIRCgpc, why would ignore myself18:53
Piciclearly not, but whatever.18:53
cakeIRClook who jumped the gun18:53
cakeIRCyes clearly, i think i should leave now. too much hate.18:54
gpcI am going to remove myself. I can't deal with this level of insanity18:54
gpcit's Superbowl yo! go enjoy the pre-pre-game/pre-game/game18:54
rwwAm not sure why you bother with him. He's ban-evading in here; throw !appeals at him and then ban-remove him again.20:09
rwwIt's not like he's going to find his rocker and climb back on it any time soon.20:10
gpcbut I spend so much time sanding and varnishing the rocker20:25
gpcit's a nice rocker20:26
genii-aroundikonia: Is WinCamXP a known troll?20:36
LinuxNoobhello i got booted,.20:36
ikoniagenii-around: no but he's behaving like it20:36
ikoniaLinuxNoob: I've spoke to you before about the topic of #ubuntu20:37
ikoniaLinuxNoob: you saw me clearly advise wincampXP the topic of the channel20:37
genii-aroundikonia: Ah, OK20:37
ikoniaLinuxNoob: you persisted to invite him to discuss his windowing system20:37
LinuxNoobi was going to have a private talk with him if he wanted to talk20:37
ikoniaLinuxNoob: then you talk to him in private20:37
LinuxNoobi like hearing ideas20:37
gpcLinuxNoob: you can join #ubuntu-offtopic20:37
LinuxNoobi was going to20:37
gpche is there right now20:37
ikonianot perst in asking him in the channel20:37
ikoniapersist20:38
LinuxNoobi like ubuntu better20:38
LinuxNoobi like tech help20:38
ikoniaLinuxNoob: then stick to tech help20:38
LinuxNoobbut if someone wants to vent their ideas, ill help em.20:38
LinuxNoobi love to tell my ideas to people, so i return the favor.20:38
ikoniaLinuxNoob: no - you won't20:38
LinuxNoob:D20:38
ikoniaLinuxNoob: the topic of the channel is ubuntu support only, do not encourage offtopic discussion in the hcannel20:39
gpcLinuxNoob: everything has it's place, idea sharing is better suited to #ubuntu-offtopic :)20:39
ikoniaLinuxNoob: if you want to contact them privatly, do so, but not in the channel20:39
LinuxNoobi talk to people in private messages most of the time, if i think i have a solution ill private mesage them.20:39
ikoniagpc: I'm being firm on this because this is not the first time this conversation has happened20:39
gpcikonia: I understand20:39
LinuxNoobbut i understand, i wont do it again20:39
gpcjust want to make sure that LinuxNoob knows we do have a place for sharing ideas20:40
LinuxNoobim a noob at linux, thats why im in the tech support :D20:40
ikoniayou've used that excuse before20:40
LinuxNoob4th day of being on ubuntu,20:40
Picieh? Why does that have to be an excuse?20:40
ikoniaPlease follow the guidelines of the channels you're in20:40
LinuxNoobi just help people with drivers, and when i think of a problem i ask help.20:41
ikoniabecuase the last time this happened "I'm new at Linux" was the excuse20:41
LinuxNoobwont talk about non-ubuntu in #ubuntu, again, i understand what i did wrong, in the rules of the channel.20:41
ikoniathank you20:41
LinuxNoobmay i rejoin.20:41
ikoniaplease do20:42
LinuxNoobthank you very much, and do not think of me as a bad person :)20:42
ikoniano-one does, don't worry20:42
gpcWe don't and won't20:42
LinuxNoobroger, ill be leaving :D20:43

macoum we have a latvian in #kubuntu and no latvian factoi21:39
macod21:39
gpcis there a latvian LoCo?21:39
jribmaco: try sending him to #ubuntu-lv21:39
macooh wait there is a channel?21:40
jribif you can't get the point across, ask in #ubuntu-lv if anyone wouldn't mind messaging him (and creating a factoid)21:40
rwwIt theoretically has five people in it, even!21:40
macowell one of the 5 is me, whoops21:41
gpcand me21:41
jribheh21:41
jribhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/LatvianTeam point him to the web pages and forums there?21:41
rwwmaco, gpc: Quick, Latvianize yourselves!21:42
gpcwhat do they speak in latvania21:42
gpc?21:42
rwwLatvian, presumably21:42
macoin latvia they speak latvian21:42
macogoogle translate surprisingly has it!21:43
jrib"It is now required that all school students learn Latvian, most schools also include English and either German or Russian in their curricula"21:43
rwwIn Soviet Latvia, Russian learns you!21:44
gpcit doesn't look all that different from russian21:44
gpcI don't speak Russian though21:44
macogoogle doesnt know what "nahuj" means21:44
macoit looks way different from russian to me21:45
maco(by which i mean "wow, i dont understand a word of that!")21:45
jribmaco: heh, not a good thing that "nahuj": http://www.unilang.org/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=1262021:51
macooh is it a russian swear?21:52
macorussian swears are *awful*21:52
macooh boy21:53
macoi got a "how do you know im latvian?" PM and pointed out the hostname, then they said something i couldnt get google to translate21:53
tonyyarussoLatvian is part of a relatively archaic language family, with the only surviving relative being Lithuanian, and even between those they are not mutually intelligible.  It has no remotely useful tie to Russian other than back at the Proto-Indo-European or possibly Balto-Slavic historical level.21:55
jribmaco: you'll enjoy http://www.golivewire.com/forums/peer-yetbbbe-support-a.html (russion swears and translations; nahuj is in there)21:55
jribthe phrases coming up on google with "nahuj" are hilarious...21:59
macogot someone in -lv to talk to tsunami about #kubuntu and they say he says he dindt understand22:00
