[00:16] <rww> madsailor: Hello! Anything we can help you with?
[00:17] <madsailor> rww, nope, just lurking.  Thanks!
[00:18] <h00k> madsailor: as you can probably tell from the /topic, it isn't a place to idle in. Please feel free to /part at your earliest convenience
[00:20] <madsailor> h00k, ok, sorry.  Was just interested in the issues that you may deal with.  I'll see myself out.
[00:21] <madsailor> Sorry, I also missed the topic *really* my bad
[00:24] <h00k> :)
[00:40] <elky> h00k, it's worth giving them the link to the logs when you usher them out.
[00:40] <rww> I PMed them with it.
[00:40] <rww> Might be worth putting in /topic
[00:40] <h00k> elky: yeah...you're right, I should have.
[00:41] <h00k> rww: thanks for getting my back!
[00:43] <elky> thar.
[01:17] <tonyyarusso> We should put a note in the topic saying that they should read the topic too!
[01:23] <h00k> Recursion...some people would never escape!
[01:48] <madsailor> Hello all. Thanks for the redirect to the logs earlier.  I've noticed that questions go unanswered for long periods sometimes in #ubuntu-beginners.  Would it be possible to have ubottu msg a redirect to the main #ubuntu channel rather than leaving people to wait indefinately?  Would this be a bad idea for some reason?
[02:19] <h00k> madsailor: That's a good question, and others involved in #ubuntu-beginners/ubottu are best to answer it
[02:19] <h00k> madsailor: unfortunately, I'm not an op over in #ubuntu-beginners
[02:20] <madsailor> h00k, oh, I thought the Ubuntu family of channela sll fell under #ubuntu-ops.  Where should I go to ask.  I don't want to PM a channel op out of the blue
[02:21] <elky> The core channels come under this one, team channels go under #ubuntu-irc. you're more likely to find the right people there
[02:23] <madsailor> ok elky, I'll check there.
[02:23] <madsailor> thanks
[02:23] <h00k> madsailor: ops throughout all of the channels reside in here, but we're not all ops all over the #ubuntu*-namespace
[02:23] <h00k> I mean...individually
[02:23] <h00k> if that makes sense?
[02:24] <madsailor> h00k, yep, I get it
[02:24] <h00k> Cool
[02:26] <h00k> There is some hope!
[02:27] <h00k> that not everyone that joins this is all ZOMG UNBAN ME and stuff.
[02:30]  * gpc sets mode -b h00k*!*@*
[02:31] <h00k> wooo
[02:31]  * h00k loads script autorun/revolvingdoor.pl
[02:40] <bazhang> Gulfstream has set up a channel #ubuntuPE
[02:41] <gpc> "Professional Edition"
[02:41] <gpc> hehe
[02:42] <Gulfstream> Hi, can I create the channel ##ubuntuPE?
[02:42] <bazhang> I just /cycle'd in there and now have +o
[02:42] <gpc> Gulfstream: here is the thing
[02:43] <gpc> #channels are official project channels
[02:43] <gpc> ##channels aren't
[02:43] <Gulfstream> but if UbuntuPE is to be an official project, wouldn't #ubuntupe work?
[02:44] <maco> but it's not
[02:44] <gpc> for it to become an official project channel then there are steps to follow
[02:44] <Gulfstream> so I am not allowed to create a project called 'UbuntuPE'?
[02:44] <gpc> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/CreatingChannels
[02:45] <maco> Well, Ubuntu PE is not an official subproject of Ubuntu as of now, so it wouldnt get an official #ubuntu* channel
[02:45] <Flannel> Gulfstream: What sort of changes are slated for it?
[02:45] <maco> and given Canonical's trademark rules regarding the word "Ubuntu" i doubt you would be permitted to start another distro with that name
[02:45] <Flannel> (changes from the original Ubuntu)
[02:46] <Gulfstream> I guess it's not worth it...
[02:46] <maco> *shrug* all he'd have to do is make up a new name
[02:47] <maco> like Ubuntu CE --> Ichthus, and Ubuntu ME --> Sabily
[02:47] <Flannel> Depending on his changes, he may be able to use 'remix' per TM policy.  But it'd depend on the nature of those changes
[02:47] <gpc> I think he wants to add java, codecs, adobe reader...
[02:47] <maco> libreoffice
[02:47] <Flannel> We'll never know!
[02:47] <bazhang> no changes. topic is do a recommended reinstall every six months
[02:48] <maco> thunderbird
[02:48] <bazhang> so mint , minus the green wallpaper
[02:50] <h00k> but probably the same menu
[02:50] <h00k> OH, and Chess.
[02:50] <h00k> He mentioned Chess.
[02:50] <gpc> Chess is fun
[02:50] <gpc> not that 3d chess with the floating board, makes me dizzy
[02:50] <Flannel> If he's just changing default packages installed, then from what my cursory re-read is, he could use 'remix'
[05:49] <rww> !mint =~ s/, p/. P/
[06:05] <rww> anyone see a downside to appending "(webchat link: http://tinyurl.com/mintirc )" or something to the end of !mint?
[06:08] <gpc> fine with me
[06:09] <rww> In the interests of distro harmony, I will neglect to voice the opinions I have formed in the last 10 minutes about Linux Mint's choices when they set up their IRC channels.
[06:15] <rww> (meanwhile, the Mint user that just stomped out of #ubuntu hasn't been in #linuxmint-* that I can see.
[06:15] <rww> )
[06:26] <elky> for some reason they never do seem to go there
[06:26] <rww> I idled in there for a week once. Let's just say the channel isn't spilling over with answered support questions.
[08:49] <bazhang> its-me-again is not even using ubuntu
[08:49] <bazhang> LMDE
[09:25] <bazhang> chupacabra seems to want to cause issues
[15:35] <ikonia> 08:43 <+minty-fresh> hello how can i find my ip address that works for me.
[15:35] <ikonia>                      ifconfig one dont work and the one in
[15:35] <ikonia>                      http://www.whatismyip.com/   i am trying to set this up
[15:35] <ikonia> http://senk9.wordpress.com/2010/09/26/how-to-stream-media-onto-your-android-device-easily-from-anywhere/
[15:35] <ikonia> it-me-again asking in #mintsupport about the same problem he had aon "ubuntu"
[17:40] <ikonia> hello jungli, what do you want today ?
[17:40] <Jungli> ikonia: good evening
[17:40] <ikonia> what do you want today ?
[17:40] <Jungli> Sir i want to talk about my ban
[17:40] <ikonia> there is nothing to talk about
[17:41] <Jungli> plz sir don't be so rude
[17:41] <Jungli> once unbanned me
[17:41] <ikonia> I'm not, I'm stating a fact, there is nothing to discuss
[17:41] <ikonia> you will not be unbanned, so there is nothing to discuss
[17:41] <Jungli> so what should i do
[17:41] <ikonia> not use the ubuntu channels
[17:41] <Jungli> sir i am ubuntu user too
[17:42] <ikonia> that doesn't change anything
[17:42] <Jungli> its fair ?
[17:42] <ikonia> so unless there is another issue apart from your ban you wish to talk about, please leave the channel
[17:42] <Jungli> hey ikonia plz
[17:43] <ikonia> Jungli: nothing to talk about - take your jungli nick, your spicemaster nick, your john-smith nick and all the others and play elsewhere
[17:43] <ikonia> please leave the channel
[19:03] <knome> err ^
[19:03]  * Pici shrugs
[19:36] <Pici> Er, why would someone address a question to chanserv in #ubuntu, chanserv isn't even in there?!
[20:06] <h00k> Pici: :D
[20:07] <knome> irc client shows private messages in the active channel window?
[20:18] <h00k> Pici: you beat me to /at
[20:18] <Pici> He seems to be looking for "prostitutas"
[20:19] <maco> ohboy
[20:35] <mneptok> how much is he offering? because it's been cold here and i'm gonna have a killer heating bill.
[20:40] <maco> mneptok: wouldnt you be a prostituto?
[20:53] <h00k> we get all semantic-y over something like this. lol.
[20:54] <mneptok> maco: again, how much is offered? for the right price ...
[20:57] <Pici> I left him muted, you're free to op up and see if hes still asking.
[21:00] <mneptok> he probably won't cover travel expenses and wardrobe, so forget it.
