IlluminatiDear, I need your help to put order in # ubuntu in Brazil, things are getting serious out there, such as insults and words of homophobia and racism, I count on your help, as already reported abuse and nothing was done.04:56
PianesiI know you dont know me at all. And i undernstand the answer you probably are going to give me is no. But, im 15 yrs old...and my domain expires tommorow. Do you think there is a way that i can borrow 8 bucks to renew it and ill pay you back wendsday? Please?04:56
IlluminatiThe channel is #ubuntu-br04:57
rwwIlluminati: #ubuntu-irc for LoCo channel problems. #ubuntu-ops is for core channels.04:57
Illuminatiok04:57
hypatiaPianesi: you can probably renew your domain without losing it for a few days after it expires05:04
hypatiaPianesi: for .com it's 30 days before it goes into redemption, i think05:04
genii-aroundCan someone grab user ubuntu in #k ? i don't have any command aliases on my netbook yet for op stuff06:20
rwwgenii-around: /msg chanserv op #kubuntu rww and tell me what you want doing06:23
Tm_Twhat is it?06:23
rwwah, nvm, real op ^ :)06:24
genii-aroundspanish user not understanding /join #ubuntu-es and basically spamming. but I'm tired and no command aliases here yet as explained, etc06:24
Tm_The stopped so maybe he succeeded06:25

rwwWhat would be the easiest way to poke Canonical people to modify irclogs.ubuntu.com so that it uses rel="nofollow" as an attribute to external links?07:57
hypatiart08:04
hypatiarww: easiest, not sure if it's most likely to succeed though ;)08:04
rwwI'm thinking "make patch, email to RT, pester a Canonical employee every time I see URL spam in #ubuntu until RT ticket is actioned"08:05
hypatiarww: did they roll their own irc logging thingy or is it something that should go upstream?08:07
Tm_Thypatia: IIRC it's just irssi with http://mg.pov.lt/irclog2html/08:15

FrotsAnd my problem is still not fixed11:45
Frotsnever shouldve made the switch :(11:45
LjLFrots: i suspect he's not around, however i think the idea is that you should try speaking to him when he's around before another op deals with the problem11:45
FrotsLjL: but he just banned me 5 minutes ago11:46
Frotsso I think he should be around11:46
LjLFrots: maybe wait here some 10 minutes (i don't suppose we'll die if he idles here for 10 minutes, right?)11:46

ikoniaahh, is that what he pasted ?12:16
LjLi thought so12:16
ikonianot my key12:16
marienzwhy was he pasting an ssh pubkey?12:16
LjLit says Matthew Darcy12:16
LjLi have no idea, some retaliation against ikonia i assumed12:17
ikoniaoh wait, is my public key12:17
jpdsSo... that makes no sense.12:17
ikoniapeople can put that on their machines if they would like me to have access :)12:17
ikoniaI think he's missed the point of the word "public key"12:18
genii-aroundWell, daybreak just now here. Regardless of coffee intake I need to head to bed. Good night all12:19

ikoniahello llua13:38
lluahi13:38
ikoniahow can we help you today ?13:38
Tm_TI presume you're here due to a banforward I did set some time ago13:38
ikoniaah, I'll leave that to you then Tm_T13:39
lluai was banned from where?13:40
Tm_Tone moment, I have to doublecheck this13:40
Tm_Tllua: indeed, a banforward it is, I did set it because of your quit message, so we can discuss it13:43
lluai was just there. like no less then 5 mins ago.13:44
lluawhen was i banned?13:44
Tm_TMar 3113:44
Tm_Tso apparently I have failed with the banmask, but no worries13:45
Tm_Tllua: all I'm after is that you agree you won't anymore do quitmessages like "Quit: <pronto> i like my women how i like my filesystems ... FAT and 16"13:47
ubottuLjL called the ops in #ubuntu (Kondry)13:54
nicofsHello. I was banned from #ubuntu - can i get that somehow revoked?14:35
IdleOnenicofs: I see in the logs it says you were asking offtopic questions14:37
IdleOneabout ARM14:37
IdleOneCan I trust you understand what #ubuntu is for and what the channel supports?14:38
nicofsIdleOne, well, in a way, i did at first, but i changed my approach...14:38
IdleOnenicofs: give me just a moment to read a little more here14:38
nicofsIdleOne, please do so....14:39
IdleOnenicofs: I will remove the ban with the condition that you agree to stick to the channel topic14:41
IdleOneagreed?14:41
IdleOnethat includes not asking about unsupported architectures14:42
nicofsIdleOne, in principle, yes - but I still don't see why a generic problem becomes off-topic as soon as it happens on an arm-architecture...14:42
IdleOnebecause there is a generic ##linux channel14:42
IdleOne#Ubuntu only supports Ubuntu and the official derivatives14:43
IdleOnearm is not yet official.14:43
IdleOnelike mneptok had explained to you if/when it does become an officially support arch we will support that also14:44
nicofsSo if i want to learn/ask about xrandr/gdm/xorg in general, that's also off-topic in #ubuntu?14:45
IdleOnenicofs: you went through this before with mneptok. general linux questions can be asked in ##linux14:45
IdleOneif it is directly related to ubuntu I suppose yes you can ask about that14:46
IdleOnebut only on arches that are supported14:46
nicofsIdleOne, i think this is some sort of grey area... that rationale would make approx. 80% of questions asked generic linux questions and off-topic14:47
IdleOnenicofs: which is why we ask people to use common sense.14:47
nicofsIdleOne, maybe my common sense is a bit off in that respect...14:48
IdleOnenicofs: you appear to me to be bright enough to know when and where to ask questions and if in doubt you are always welcome to come back here to make sure.14:48
IdleOneThe ban has been removed. Please join #ubuntu to make sure I got it right.14:49
nicofsIdleOne, i'm back there - thanks. Maybe there should be a clear guideline as to what is on/off-topic. Because i don't think the current one is too clear...14:50
IdleOnenicofs: it would be nice to have such a list.14:51
IdleOnenicofs: apparently there is a #ubuntu-arm14:54
IdleOneperhaps the people there would be able to help you14:54
LjLnicofs: Ubuntu technical support questions are on-topic. aside from the question of whether ARM is official, in general, questions about "please explain to me the architecture of X" are not on-topic, and would be better asked in ##linux14:54
LjLthat was just an example by the way, i'm not saying that's what you asked, i have no idea14:55
nicofsLjL, i know too well that ARM-architecture is beyond the scope of normal ubuntu support. but i still don't believe that all issues on an ARM system are ARM specific... if i go to #ubuntu-arm to ask them how to set up my network printer they'd surely refer me back to #ubuntu...14:57
nicofs(i didn't try, though...)14:57
jussinicofs: I think we all agree there14:58
IdleOneprobably would, unless setting up a printer on arm is majorly different.14:58
IdleOnenicofs: this is where the common sense thing comes into play. use your best judgement and things should be fine and if someone redirects you to a different channel, try that channel, don't argue with them.15:00
LjLnicofs, ok but then some questions about Linux Mint (or Backtrack or other Ubuntu or Debian derivatives) may not be specific to the distribution, and they could as well be answered by an Ubuntu user. the issue is, how do we know in advance? there may be some difference we aren't aware of. so things that are not [official] Ubuntu aren't supported.15:00
nicofsthe thing is: with some problems you don't see if they are related to architecture or not without working on them... and as far as knowledge and experience goes #ubuntu is a very good resource...15:02
LjLnicofs: in that case, do what IdleOne said - try asking, and if it's not ARM-dependant someone will likely try to answer, but if someone redirects you because you're not using actual Ubuntu, they have a valid reason to do that as well, so avoid arguing that. if something actually is a grey area, then the only way to deal with it is by common sense.15:04
nicofsi googled my problem and found that users of supported architectures have the same problem - i had hoped someone who solved it was at ubuntu... but i somehow clashed with the wrong person...15:05
LjLnicofs: i could tell you to check whether someone is an op before arguing, but that's not really fair, the right thing is to either respect their advice regardless if you think they're right, or attempt to solve the disagreement in PM otherwise, don't you think :P15:06
IdleOnearguing in the channel is never good15:07
nicofsWell, i got kicked with the words "game over" - that shows a lot doesn't it? apparently to some being op is a game of showing who's in power - to me it's trying to get help...15:08
IdleOnenicofs: ops are human also, we don't always chose our kick messages perfectly.15:09
LjLnicofs: well, if you feel that way about the specific incident, you probably should try talking about it with mneptok when he's around15:09
ubottuLjL called the ops in #ubuntu-offtopic (root____, ok)15:09
nicofshmm... i don't think that would lead anywhere... maybe i should just avoid #ubuntu in future...15:14
LjLnicofs: that's your choice, but to me you seem like a reasonable person who could easily manage not to get banned while at the same time being able to get help in the channel, so i think it would be your less15:15
IdleOnewould also be a shame to lose a user who could probably help out in #ubuntu also15:16
nicofsLjL, well in that case my reason was off, wasn't it? And so far I have never been banned for such a trivial thing (i consider it to be)...15:17
IdleOnethe reason for the ban was not the offtopic question but the arguing if it was offtopic15:17
IdleOneanyway, I think we can agree that we will all try harder to be better? :)15:19
nicofsmaybe in some cases one should just agree to disagree and leave it at that...15:20
IdleOnewe could do that also15:20
nicofshmm... maybe i overstepped a bit. anyhow - i have to do some work now and since i shouldn't idle here ill leave the channel...15:22
IdleOnehave a good day15:22
nicofsthanks, same to you15:22
