bazhangBHXSpecter, how can we help you13:26
BHXSpecterhold checking something13:29
BHXSpecteryesterday I updated my router frimware and changed too port 8001 and passed the test yesterday but I'm still getting told I'm banned from #ubuntu13:44
LjLBHXSpecter: let me check13:44
LjLBHXSpecter: try asking for a test now please13:44
LjLBHXSpecter: you should be able to join now13:45
BHXSpecterok thanks :) don't know what happened yesterday13:46
LjLno idea either13:46
LjLthe bots didn't realize you were banned, for some reason13:46
BHXSpecterthanks again13:47
bazhangLjL, any idea how he got around the ban?13:50
LjLbazhang: IP he's using doesn't seem banned - but also, webchat users can *join* even if their IP is banned. they just can't speak.13:51
LjLthat has to happen since we got rid of #Ubuntu-proxy-users13:52
bazhangLjL, okay so he's muted then13:52
bazhangwell prior to my ban of that particular gateway13:53
LjLbazhang: basically. webchat is muted by default, then people who join get a +e, unless they are banned, in which case they don't13:53
bazhangLjL, okay, well I said floodbot saying banned user could not join, but the he joined nonetheless13:54
bazhangand removing him a second time, the floodbot did not ban as customary13:54
LjLhmm i will change that message to explain better what's going on now13:54
LjLwell i didn't see their IP on the banlist but maybe the floodbot looked better13:54
bazhangat this rate the banlist will be filled by tomorrow13:55

LjL@mark #ubuntu rgr Often gives people generic Google queries for help, at least three people have already complained about the way he offers help18:43
ubottuThe operation succeeded.18:43
IdleOneLjL: How do you suggest we address the issue with him?18:47
LjLi suggest doing nothing for now18:48
IdleOnebut looking at scroll back I did see him basically tell people to google it a few times18:48
LjLbut he was told not to do it by several people, and i pointed how to him and maybe they're right, he hasn't replied. let's see if he does it again, and to what extent (i do agree with him that giving google keywords might be reasonable in some cases... about unmounting a partition, though, meh, much easier for everyone to say "sudo umount /blah")18:49
IdleOneWell if he was giving a link that he googled to the user and told them to read that info I wouldn't mind so much. but telling people to search for term xyz is not always intuitive to the user.18:51

LjLIdleOne: in the instance i saw he did give a link. problem is, that link was to "unmount drive from cli ubuntu" (or something like that), and the top links weren't really very informative at all. compare to my link to "encrypt partitions site:help.ubuntu.com" i gave yesterday18:53

ckwI'm not a fan of this new "don't let people join if they might have the dcc exploit" policy19:15
ikoniait's not new19:15
ckwI'm on a shaky connection, and it gets triggered whenever the connection happens to drop and I reconnect19:15
ckwEven though my settings are fine19:15
ckwHow long has it been around? I've only had it affecting me recently19:16
ikoniaquite a long time, over a year19:16
IdleOneckw: least 3 years that I can remember19:16
IdleOnemaybe I am remembering wrong but quite a long time19:16
ckwHrm... That's really strange then19:17
IdleOneckw: I believe yesterday was the last time someone used that dcc exploit in #ubuntu you probably got caught by it19:17
ckwI'd like to say nothing has changed on my end (besides my connection + update to 11.04) so it is a problem with your bot/freenode, but I'm not so sure19:17

ohsixhi, rgr on #ubuntu is being constantly offtopic and badgering people, generally not offering any assistance at all for all the lines he seems to have in my buffer; and is beligerent about it as well19:36
IdleOneohsix: Thanks for the heads up. We will keep an eye open. If you see any more issues please let us know :)19:36
ohsixit's been 2 days now,  but i'll keep that in mind19:37
ohsixthanks19:37
LjLeh, ohsix now being over the top trying to bash rgr... sighs20:08
ikoniargr has been a pain for a few days, I've spoke to him a few times and cut him a lot of slack20:08
IdleOneI think ohsix has caught rgr making a couple of mistakes20:09
IdleOnein regards to answers being correct20:09
LjLmistakes are human, and also while i haven't caught up with the scrollback entirely, it seems that saying "try lxr, then if you don't like it there's other possibilities if you google 'linux source code'"... well, that's not too bad20:10
LjLwell mistakes are not human, just making them is20:10
LjLexcept for me, i'm a human mistake20:10
ikoniaI don't mind the mistakes20:11
IdleOnehah I read that as I don't make mistakes the first time20:13
* LjL rolls eyes at rgr&ohsix20:31
LjLqueried ohsix, told him to slow down on the picking on rgr, that we're keeping an eye on him but he shouldn't bash him for every single thing he does20:36
ikoniargr is not helping himself20:38
LjLneither is actionparsnip now20:38

ohsixdo i have to accept the terms of service of this channel to comply with your request? the onjoin says i do20:53
* LjL checks the onjoin20:53
IdleOneohsix: the terms are the same as using #ubuntu20:53
ohsixIdleOne: ok20:53
IdleOneyou already have accepted :)20:53
LjLoh yeah ohsix those terms of service are for all ubuntu channels :P20:53
ohsixwell, those agreements are unenforcable but not worth digressing20:53
ohsixat least in legal terms ;] ops can enforce them20:54
LjLohsix: yeah it's a bit silly in my opinion but i think the canonical legal team advised us to have them, or something20:54
ohsixright20:54
ohsixonto the larting20:54
ohsixi think it's notable rgr chose not to join us fwiw20:54
LjLi'm not going to lart anyone, i'd just like to clear up the "support" definition20:54
LjLyeah well...20:54
ohsixhe set the flames20:54
LjL"supported" does mean a few different things depending on context, i think20:55
* ActionParsnip listens20:55
LjLsomething may be "supported" by upstream, "supported" by Canonical, "supported" by the Ubuntu community or "supported" by #ubuntu20:55
LjLthose often overlap but in general they may easily not20:55
ohsixon the irc channel i "support" anything in the repos, and often things that are not, and configurations users aren't expected to touch, when i used the term support to refer to the packages i meant who maintained them, who handles bugs for them; and the importance of the package20:55
LjLso obviously both Chromium (or perhaps rather Chrome) and Firefox are supported by upstream20:55
LjLFirefox is supported by Canonical, Chromium is not20:55
LjLChromium is supported by the community, by being in universe20:56
ActionParsnipbut the chromim-browser is in the official repos20:56
LjLand both are supported by #ubuntu, because we support packages in main and in universe20:56
ohsixeven if they didn't support it by it being in main, firefox is more supported directly by the primary maintainers of the software, it's not a third party build of something else20:56
ActionParsnipso the irc channel supports it, right?20:56
LjLother parts of the Ubuntu community, however, might possibly not support Chromium20:56
LjLActionParsnip: i'd say so20:56
LjLohsix: oh it is a third party build20:56
ActionParsnipand firfox is in on the same servers and is supported by the irc channel, right?20:56
LjLohsix: the .deb package is not the same binary the Mozilla provides20:56
ohsixi weigh the abilities for the maintainer to be able to handle my bug reports or elevate them and have them considered20:56
LjLActionParsnip: yes20:57
ohsixLjL: i know, and about the trademark covenent, i just meant it's not someone taking firefox; and a handful of people providing an alternate build, they largely won't handle bugs given to them and might not even be taken seriously by the people they're cribbing from20:57
ActionParsnipljl: so both aresupported equally by the irc channel as both are packages installable by users by adding no PPAs, they are BOTH canonical certified20:57
ActionParsnipljl: that's what I'm saying20:57
ohsixand i'm talking about a lot more than chromium, so don't take it as a dig against its legitimacy20:57
LjLohsix, thing is we don't really care in #ubuntu what the upstream supports or doesn't, unless we decide to deprecate it ourselves. we still assume someone is doing their best to support it *in the channel*20:58
LjLActionParsnip: wait no, i don't think you can call chromium "canonical certified"... but otherwise, yes20:58
ActionParsnip!info chromium-browser20:58

ActionParsnipandy@D20:59
LjLActionParsnip: now i don't have my original /etc/apt/sources.list handy, but i do believe there is a comment explaining that it's "not supported"20:59
tonyyarussoikonia: ?20:59
ActionParsnipso unles someone hacked in and added the package, it has been added by the package team / canonical20:59
IdleOneActionParsnip: they way I see it any package that is in either main,multiverse,universe are supported in #ubuntu. as for certification by canonical that is a different story.20:59
ActionParsnipIdleOne: exactly21:00
LjLActionParsnip: well package team (MOTU) is not Canonical, that's what i'm saying21:00
LjLCanonical doesn't certify packages in Universe21:00
ohsixLjL: i'm elaborating on my use of the word "supported" to clear up the apparent confusion, i still "Support" in the sense of #ubuntu, that it's in the repos, it is still "less supported" with regards to the points that i take into account when making that latter judgement21:00
ActionParsnipljl: sure, but its still equally supported i #ubuntu, which is what I'm saying21:00
IdleOnenot supported in the sources.list refers to Canonical not providing any support for those packages but they are maintained by the community.21:01
IdleOneI have to run. later gators21:01
ohsixLjL: re: not supported in sources.list, you're correct; most people don't see that though, they see software-properties-(gtk|kde), and the mouseover tooltip does say something to that effect, but most people are just enabling it because they are told to, and don't read either21:01
ActionParsnipif its on the ubuntu repos (not a ppa) it gets equal love in #ubuntu21:03
ohsixnot by me21:04
ohsixi will support a package less in universe if i don't know personally that the maintainer will be receptive, or that my bugs won't be a waste of time21:04
ohsixit often doesn't come to that, but it is where it's different in my calculations21:04
ActionParsnipohsix: shame21:04
ohsixwho are you to cast aspersions? my position is very reasonable21:05
ohsixand i've even said what my reasons were21:05
ohsixi still "support" users that use software anywhere in the repos21:05
ActionParsnipohsix: chromium is anywhere in the repos....21:05
ikoniaguys, simple solution, if you want to support a package/problem, do it, if not, don't21:06
LjLohsix, of course it's fine if you don't want to support something21:06
ohsixActionParsnip: i'm beginning to believe you're willingly misinterpreting what i've explained21:06
LjLohsix: the line is when someone starts saying "no, you can't ask about this, it is not supported"21:06
ohsixLjL: something that i did not say,  but noted21:06
LjLohsix: no, just saying21:06
ohsixand would not say, i might add21:06
ActionParsnipohsix: any package i any of the repos is ontopic for the channel, so is "supported"21:07
ohsix"will not support" is often my opinion, and only at the limits of what i can, regardless of if it's in the repos21:07
ohsixActionParsnip: that is what i said21:07
LjLActionParsnip: oh is saying that they will "support" a user's system if the user has installed Chromium (as opposed to installing something from a random PPA), but will not support Chromium *itself*, i think21:07
ohsixActionParsnip: i did not say it was offtopic, i talked about relative support, not channel & user support21:07
LjLActionParsnip: it is "supported", yes, that doesn't mean ohsix *has* to support it21:07
ActionParsnipohsix: so one isn't less supported as they are both ontopic21:07
ohsixit does not mean i can either21:07
ActionParsnipLjL: oh totally, nobody has to support anything21:08
ohsixActionParsnip: one is less supported, indeed; you are confusing the two uses of the sense of the word in play here21:08
ActionParsnipohsix: true, its your free will21:08
ohsixActionParsnip: i explained both senses of my use of the word above, please try and read and understand it21:08
ActionParsnipohsix: i mean simply what is ontopic and offtopic, if that makes it clearer21:08
LjLmeanwhile, in #ubuntu21:08
LjLrgr is up with sgxfi or however it's spelled again21:08
ohsixActionParsnip: i didn't say it was offtopic, merely less supported in my use of the term; and not officially endorsed in rgr's sense of delivering his opinion21:09
LjLwell21:09
LjLif rgr had come here, i'd have told you that it's much better not to say that anything is "recommended" until, well, it is21:09
ActionParsnipohsix: i'm keeping it to the term and what is ontopic in the channel, that is what is key21:10
LjL"it is my opinion that..." is one thing, "recommended" is another21:10
LjLs/you/him/21:10
ohsixActionParsnip: what's on topic doesn't even come into play21:10
ohsixActionParsnip: rgr constantly offering his opinion as fact and no assistance is what is offtopic21:11
ActionParsnipohsix: sure it does, that  channel cannot support 3rd party apps not on the ubuntu servers21:11
ohsixbut that's neither here nor there21:11
ohsixActionParsnip: they can't? i have21:11
ActionParsnipohsix: true21:11
ActionParsnipohsix: then thats fine but they are technically offtopic as they are 3rd party21:11
ActionParsnipgotta go washup kids, bbl :)21:11
LjLsee you21:11
LjLActionParsnip: please part here if you're leaving, you know how it works21:12
ohsixdon't conflate "can't" with your personal inability to do so, if i can and am willing i sometimes will, but i take that as my responsibility, and if it comes to an impasse i tell them that nobody else in #ubuntu can be expected to offer further assistance21:12
LjLommon sense is the key21:12
LjLkey-ommon sense21:12
ohsixit is afterall linux, as long as someone isn't doing something that trashes all their package manager tracked files, or they've already done it without any help of mine; i'll help them21:12
ohsixugh i hate the term "common sense", it's a cliche for "think like i do"21:13
ohsixpeople think differently and those differences can be explained, no need to wash over it with "common sense", unless lowest common denominator where nobody really knows anything is adequate21:13
LjLok21:13
LjLthen forget about common sense21:13
LjLjust think like i do :)21:14
ohsixi appreciate that given time you'd have the ability to articulate your point more clearly; it's just a pet peeve of mine, people use it too easily and communicate poorly21:15
LjLohsix: in my view "common sense" means not everything you do has to be justified by a rule21:15
LjLthere's not an exact rule saying you can support off-repo software, and neither there is one that says you can't21:15
LjLso it's basically up to you and if someone doesn't like what you're doing you need to deal with it yourself in some way, without resorting to the rules21:16
ohsixoh ok, that's a good point to just make, as it's being understood21:16
LjLthat's what "common sense" means to me21:16
ohsix*misunderstood21:16
LjLnow to the part i don't like - namely if we're finished here for now, i have to ask you to leave the channel because it's how this channel works :\21:20
ohsixno u that's offtopic omg21:21
LjLheh21:21
ohsixActionParsnip: if we have a meta disagreement that stems from our differening perspective, we should speak with eachother not the channel21:21

ikoniaplease do22:53
ubottuFloodBotK1 called the ops in #kubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from orys)23:02
bazhangJuest is being trying23:13
Jordan_UNot that he would be any less trying if it were, but is lilo even supported in Ubuntu? It's in main so I guess it must be...23:15
bazhanghe wants grub and lilo? and for gnome to be fixed?23:15
ikonia??23:16
Jordan_Ubazhang: The asking about the grub config was a retorical question meant as a complaint, as far as I can tell.23:17
bazhangJordan_U, hard to fathom that, as he is asking very precise questions about where grub stores things. he's all over the map with requests23:18
guntbertcan someone have a good look at juest in #ubuntu? he seems to be trolling.  Jumping from topic to topic, never giving straight answers,...23:30
Jordan_UHe's now added "how to use sysv"...23:31
ikoniayes23:31
Jordan_UThis seems to match the pattern of another troll that has been banned, can't remember the nick though.23:31
guntbertplease - he is sucking up a good portion of support forces atm23:31
bazhangjuest was muted before23:32
ikoniaI agree23:32
ikoniait will stop23:32
guntbertthx23:32
bazhangtime for a ban imo23:32
guntbertbye23:32
ikonialet him respond, but his comments will stop unless he can actually formulate a support request23:32
bazhangI just PM'd Juest23:33
ikoniahe "uninstalled" lilo - it doesn't just get removed from the mbr, so I don't believe what he's saying23:33

Jordan_UThe behavior seems awefully familiar to me. I'm sure there have been multiple bans of a single person for this MO.23:37
Jordan_Uikonia: Is there more history behind that kick?23:42
ikoniaJordan_U: no, it was a bad decision based on a jumbled response, I've already pm'd him to explain23:42
Jordan_UOK.23:42
