[00:22] The colourful reign of terror ended, I see. [00:23] your colors got taken away [00:23] :/ [00:23] /rsay that sucks [00:23] probably for the best, I was thinking of doing it anyway ;P [00:52] rww: I'd give nicholas_ some slack since that was a response to Quintin's "buy a mac". [00:53] You should see my usual response to people bringing up ADHD O:) [00:53] rww: I'm curious now. [01:07] rwlove: troll [01:07] i do not love why do people keep pretending i do :( [01:07] (i know, tab complete...) [01:08] ftr quintin is an old troll [01:09] seems so [01:11] Let's not be IRC nazis in response to my suggestion to be civil [01:14] Apparently I am also an IRC nazi. MLIA. [01:14] heh [01:15] nice! now all the ops will watch this channel! [01:15] whoops [01:17] bazhang: I don't think the ops ever watch this channel. [01:17] but rww and i do! [01:17] and rww is an op now :P [01:17] Flannel, hehe true [01:18] LjL: Then he must not watch this channel now [01:30] was ohsix the one arguing gksudo / sudo yesterday? [01:30] yes [01:30] aha [01:51] telepac.pt :/ [01:52] who now? [01:52] azzy_somenumbers [02:42] vhdl in #ubuntu was being annoying in #freenode earlier, best keep an eye on them. [02:42] very [02:43] that 2001:470 looks very familiar in fact [03:06] soreau called the ops in #ubuntu (johndebow) [03:07] sock puppeting [03:07] nod [03:07] also /remove or /kick lets fb's ban them [03:07] ie wanking was already banned but still in the channel [03:09] yeah, I clean up stuff like that when ubottu pokes me to review the ban [03:09] I got vhdl in PM, no response yet [03:09] about asking to ask a question and not actually asking it? [03:09] VHDL? [03:10] Oh, that's a nick. [03:10] I thought you were getting code in PM [03:10] Flannel, always the EE :( [03:10] heh yeah [03:20] 4th time vhdl asks if he can ask a question [03:21] well he can! and he has! [03:21] he needed to say "can I ask 5 questions?" [03:23] just tell him SIGNAL questions : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (4 DOWNTO 0) := "11111"; [03:24] Maybe he'll understand that better! [03:27] Hi MUILTFN_, how can we help you? [03:39] and he's back [03:39] still no response via PM btw [03:39] * rww ponders banforwarding to #ubuntu-trivia [03:39] in soviet Ubuntu, questions are asked to you! [04:02] oh my goodness it asked a question [04:16] I suspect its capntrade [04:16] so do i. silly IPv6 :( [06:32] Is it just me or do people asking for help in another language tend to do so almost in groups? [07:10] MUILTFN_, hi [08:39] man wget [08:42] waste of time trying to help people [08:42] "I know what I'm doing, I'm certified, I working a hosting centre" [08:42] then why are you asking for help ? [08:42] psilocybe seems to be wasting time [08:42] done with it [11:03] hello soreau [11:03] Hello all, I have a problem with !nvidia and !ati factoids in #ubuntu. They point to the link called https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto which suggests (by it name) that you must install a binary (proprietary) driver which is not the case for most cards, especially in light of the new FOSS driver situation [11:03] hi ikonia [11:03] ok, so what would you suggest for the name of the page ? [11:04] Well I havent thought that far out, give me a moment please, its 5am here :) [11:05] ikonia: I would think it should be named something less biased toward binary drivers [11:05] VideoDriverHowTo? [11:05] ok, seems reasonable [11:07] are you happy with the content that is there ? [11:08] * soreau looks [11:08] ikonia: Not fully but I can edit the page later [11:09] To make it more generic [11:09] ok, so lets get a new page then [11:09] !ati [11:09] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:10] * soreau second guesses [11:11] hang on [11:11] ok [11:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [11:13] happy ? [11:14] !ati [11:14] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:14] ikonia: Not yet ;) [11:14] I'll change that next [11:14] I know, j/k [11:14] are you happy witht he new page [11:14] ahh, cool [11:14] This will help shape the guide [11:14] ok, I'll update the factoid if you can get to work on the page content [11:15] * soreau logs in [11:16] ikonia: Thank you for this attention, this has been bugging me for some time now [11:17] no problem [11:18] !ati is /BinaryDriverHowto/VideoDriverHowto [11:18] Missing end delimiter [11:18] !ati is /BinaryDriverHowto/VideoDriverHowto/ [11:18] Nothing changed there [11:18] !ati [11:18] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:18] it's !binarydriver [11:18] are they linked to ati/nvidia etc [11:18] ? [11:18] !+ati [11:18] binarydriver [11:18] ah, thank you [11:18] !binarydriver is /BinaryDriverHowto/VideoDriverHowto/ [11:18] I'll remember that ikonia [11:19] there's also !binarydriver-#ubuntu+1 [11:19] is that the same content ? [11:19] !binarydriver-#ubuntu+1 [11:19] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | The ATI and nVidia binary drivers may not currently be installable. [11:19] !binarydriver-#ubuntu+1 is /BinaryDriverHowto/VideoDriverHowto/ [11:19] I'll remember that ikonia [11:20] tsimpson: perfect, thank you [11:20] :) [11:20] do you really need the keyword, I'm sure I've done substitution without ? [11:20] !ati [11:20] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [11:21] I have changed the header bullet so far.. [11:21] I intend to update the rest of the page over time [11:21] ok, well, as long as it gets done in a reasonable time it will be a good udpate [11:24] ikonia: thanks again for your attention [11:53] In ubottu, juk said: tethering is For creating an adhoc host with Ubuntu see: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html [12:03] that guide is flawed [12:23] an ubuntugeek.com guide is flawed, NO !!!!!!! [12:23] shock horror [12:23] [12:23] ;) [12:25] Say it isn't so [12:30] can I run ubuntu on a nokia flip phone? along with "can I ask a question?" 23 or so times [12:30] he's done that before too [12:30] any reason not to mute? [12:31] he never answers when asked about the specs for the phone, or at all [12:31] he's had his warning now, any more, just end it [12:37] lag [12:37] muted and got him in PM [12:37] ah I see you removed him, thanks [12:38] just joined #debian as he was muted [12:38] behaving like a fool in #freenode too [12:38] enjoy [12:48] ikonia: you can use "!foo =~ ..." (or !foo ~=) instead of "!no foo is ..." [12:48] ahh, that's it [16:45] hi, why was quieted in #ubuntu? [16:46] repeated "can I ask a question?" "can I run ubuntu on a flip phone"? [16:51] vhdl: your current behaviour in #ubuntu-offtopic shows me that the quiet in #ubuntu will not be removed anytime soon. Anything else we might help you with? [16:54] vhdl: if you have no other issues, please leave this channel, as idling is not allowed here [16:54] http://blog.feenode.net/?=1210 says you guys are wrong [16:55] i will appeal this to freenode [16:55] Posting that sort of link won't really help matters for you. [16:55] lol [16:56] lol [16:56] hrm [17:03] hrm indeed [17:08] ni niko :) [17:15] vhdl is now requesting an ubuntu-sexytime/vhdl cloak in #freenode [17:16] Pici: Oh right. [17:20] * Pici has ubuntu on hilight in #freenode [18:14] hello Jak3 [18:14] is there anyone avaliable at the moment? [18:14] yes [18:14] ikonia /hello [18:14] how can we help [18:14] how do i send a private message? [18:14] for those sort of questions it's best to ask in the channel of the client you are using [18:15] normally /msg $user [18:15] also #freenode is good for general irc advice [18:16] also... is there a technical channel? [18:16] As relating to what? [18:16] technical channel for what ? [18:16] like keyboard.... resolution.... wireless..... etc [18:17] Jak3: For Ubuntu? [18:17] no [18:17] backtrack [18:17] Jak3: #backtrack-linux we do not support Backtrack in ubuntu channels. [18:17] Jak3: I've told you before [18:17] #backtrack-linux [18:17] but how do i register???? [18:17] =@ [18:17] !register [18:17] Jak3: I've told you that also [18:17] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [18:17] Jak3: if you are having problems ask in #freenode [18:18] hold on brb.... just kick me the now... i will c&p that.... [18:18] what ?

[18:33] i will go now [18:33] ok, well, this channel isn't for chatting [18:33] Jak3: Our chat channel is #ubuntu-offtopic [18:33] try #defocus [18:33] Or that [18:34] saying cant send to channel.... [18:34] what command are you using to join [18:34] on #defocus [18:34] defocus requires voice. [18:34] I shouldn't have pointed you there, [18:34] ohhhh [18:35] Jak3: ask in #freenode [18:35] ok [18:35] No. [18:35] Jak3: this channel is for #ubuntu [18:35] They won't like him asking in #freenode. The instructions are in the topic of that channel. [18:35] im in ubuntu-offtopic i will go now [18:35] okay [18:36] he's going to start asking about backtrack...I know it [18:36] he can't help himself [18:36] le sigh [18:36] das sigh [18:57] вздох.
