[00:08] Please don't invite random teams to join <----- odd mailing to myself as #xubuntu op; in reference to ubuntu-al [00:09] err me [00:47] !membership > omega [01:50] !bootinfo [01:50] To diagnose boot issues, you can use the Boot Info Script available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ Run the script with !sudo and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at).

Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [01:50] I'll remember that Jordan_U [05:15] vibhav (~vibhav@59.94.140.218) has joined #ubuntu [05:15] ban evading again vibhav [05:15] NO [05:15] I have a dynamic IP [05:15] Thats why [05:15] I can prove it [05:16] thats ban evading [05:16] but it was not my fault [05:16] sure it is. [05:16] You know you're banned from #ubuntu. You go in #ubuntu anyway. This is bad. [05:16] Everytime I open my computer , my ip is changed [05:16] and Xchat always leads me to the Ubuntu Channel [05:16] vibhav, your chances of being unbanned just went way down. [05:16] Then tell it to stop. [05:17] WHY? [05:17] rww, you want to handle this, or me [05:17] Ok I am deleting it from the favourite channels [05:17] bazhang: if you're familiar with the history, I'll step back. I'm not. [05:18] rww, sure, I can handle it [05:18] vibhav, your chances of being unbanned just went way down Why? [05:18] And BTW i was goin to offtopic [05:18] So bazhang why have my chances went down? [05:19] hey bazhang! [05:20] vibhav, just a moment please. [05:20] ok [05:21] Ban is removed [05:21] not it isn't [05:21] IdleOne removes ban on *!*@59.94.131.220 what does this mean then? [05:22] you were told not to return for 96 hours [05:22] Now I am wondering if I should just make it a full 30 days [05:22] but I am stepping back [05:23] You removed the ban? [05:23] vibhav: bazhang is going to help you in a minute [05:23] vibhav, please be patient. [05:23] Ok [05:24] vibhav: The ban removed was not your ban in #ubuntu, which is currently still there. [05:24] which ban was removed then Flannel ? [05:24] vibhav: You were banned in this channel for two minutes. Prior to that, a ban on someone else was removed (again, in this channel). [05:25] vibhav: I expect it'll be made clear in english that your #ubuntu banned is removed once it is. You won't have to try to decypher anything. [05:25] ok [05:25] but atleast I can be on the offtopic community? [05:27] vibhav, sure [05:28] vibhav, your ban in #ubuntu will be the original 96 hours, provided you dont try to join #ubuntu in that time, nor your MOM using that IP address, etc [05:28] vibhav, please come back here at that time, and we can then move forward. [05:29] OK [08:42] WoundedPhoenix in #ubuntu appears to be lying and giving edited (s/parted/fdisk/)output from parted rather than the requested output from fdisk. I have no idea why, and I'm hoping I'm just missing something but I can't explain the output any other way. [08:43] * Jordan_U is confused. [08:46] I usually shrug and stop replying when that happens. Too many people, too little time. [08:47] This has me intregued though. Either this person is lying about something really odd or something even more odd is happening on their system. [09:05] I learned something new, there is a separate GNU fdisk based on libparted in universe that when installed superceeds util-linux's fdisk. [09:08] !nickspam > squirming [09:10] hell of an attitude on yagoo all evening, btw. [09:10] I almost had words with them about accusing another user of trolling. [09:27] I have a slight requesy [09:27] *request* [09:27] yes? [09:28] can my ban be shortened to 48 hours or 72 hours?? [09:28] no [09:28] please [09:29] we have asked you to stay away until given time, and you still fail to follow it [09:29] ok [09:29] Sorry [11:48] @mark #ubuntu yagoo being clueless and mildly annoying [11:48] The operation succeeded. [13:02] llutz_ called the ops in #ubuntu (monkey) [13:16] vibhav is not getting unbanned soon - he is clearly ot listning to what is being aid to him [13:19] ikonia: same in english? [13:19] "not" [13:19] "said" [13:19] makes sense now (: [13:19] my keyboard is lagging due to a large repo sync]# [13:44] http://lmgtfy.com/?q=freenode+register [13:46] !lmgtfy [13:46] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [13:52] bazhang: did you send that and !register to him or shall i? [13:53] LjL, he presumably saw it the few times others got when asking about it. [13:53] again, with his 'u' and 'ur' and 'cos' perhaps not [13:59] Chris_H, hi [13:59] Hi, why am I banned in #ubuntu [13:59] LjL, thanks for getting him to drop the "u" [13:59] or is it my username [14:00] let me look at it chris [14:00] ok [14:00] Chris_H: you've changed your nickname, that's why [14:01] Chris_H: unfortunately webchat clients have to be treated specially on #Ubuntu [14:01] Chris_H: so if you change nicknames, you need to part and rejoin [14:01] please try doing that [14:01] ok [14:01] thanks [14:41] sug is jungli? [14:42] seem to be from same IP [14:43] ie victor and alejandro [14:47] hmm, all these are from same IP? [14:47] yep [14:48] a simple +q perhaps [14:48] ye, about to do that [14:49] that should fix it [14:49] ...I pressed the enter with the same mask at the same time as you did (: [14:49] hehe [14:50] and no, I'm not slow [14:50] anything but [14:58] if sug is in fact jungli, he's ban evading again in #ubuntu [15:09] quti [17:00] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (nikolaibo appears to be abusive and has been muted, will need to be UNMUTED MANUALLY) [20:13] In ubottu, Logan_ said: !surround is If you're having trouble getting surround sound working in Ubuntu, try the instructions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound [20:14] !surround is If you're having trouble getting surround sound working in Ubuntu, try the instructions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound [20:14] I'll remember that, LjL [20:14] LjL: thanks :) [20:14] no prob [20:30] Dave2: You around? Or any other staff? [20:30] Wondering who owns urd [20:53] hi, how do we get ubottu to recognize the xfce bugtracker/ [21:00] what kind of tracker is it? [21:05] bugzilla.xfce.org [21:05] modified bugzilla, as far as i know [21:06] who is tunning the ubotX nowadays? [21:06] and running? [21:06] depending on the bot, me [21:06] ubot2 ;) [21:07] then you want jpds [21:07] bazhang: sug is jungli and he was removed for ban evading using sug yesterday,Corey was pushing this with staff, I note he's done it again [21:07] tsimpson: gratias [21:09] tsimpson: apologies for missing you yesterday [21:09] ikonia: no problem [21:09] tsimpson: my question was around the same as bazhang's I got an email response from the #xubuntu-ops launchpad team, but it's not something I'd triggered, do you know what this was about ? [21:09] charlie-tca: ubottu should now work with it [21:09] the response came from you, hence asking you [21:10] Thank you [21:10] thanks tsimpson [21:10] Great! it does work! [21:10] ikonia: LP being silly, it was "to" another team which invited ~irc-xubuntu-ops to join it, but LP apparently isn't too discreet [21:11] ahh [21:11] so not something I should be actually bothere about [21:11] I wondered if something had gone wrong, or I'd actually requested something by accident [21:11] nope, they invited just about every team with "ubuntu" in it from what I could tell [21:12] Yes, I don't know who sent the invite out. [21:12] I thought it was me, at first, too. [21:12] excellent, so another quality team who are just behaving like idiot facebook processes [21:12] yes, but I thought tsimpson responded very good. [21:13] totally [21:17] yes the reply was nice and to the point [21:26] FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1656 users, 0 overflows, 1656 limit)) [21:26] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1656 users, 0 overflows, 1656 limit)) [21:44] LjL: jpds: hey ho! ... what we would like to have is ubot2 to join #linaro-android on top of #linaro and #linaro-meeting (where it is already) :) ... let me know! thanks! [21:44] i don't manage the ubots, you probably want tsimpson [21:45] heh. thats a loop then [21:45] why, did tsimpson tell you to ask me? [21:45] jpds said that jpds runs ubot2 ... so i guess i have to wait [21:45] LjL: no that was someone else ;) [21:45] i used to run an "ubotwo" but that's long gone :) [21:45] kk [21:45] and only the runner is admin? [21:46] i'm not sure, maybe the irc council is also admin === soren_ is now known as soren [21:48] asac: I think you might want ubot5 (based on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots), which is run by jussi and tsimpson [21:48] * asac checks [21:48] all i need is lp bugs ;) [21:49] ubutu wiki is on snail today again [21:49] ubot5 does bugs too [21:50] tsimpson: i am happy then ;) ... can you invite him to #linaro-android? [21:51] thx! [21:51] :) [21:52] thanks! [21:52] works well [21:52] the best bot so far! [21:52] has the highest number, so must be best :) [21:53] well, it's the newest... [21:55] * Flannel goes off to register ubot99 [21:58] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from toad`) [22:03] * popey registers ubotA0 through ubotFF [22:45] ldunn_fn, soren: please /msg nickserv identify :) [22:48] rww: ':)' isn't a very secure password. [22:50] Jordan_U: It's the perfect password. It looks like an emoticon, so if you type it in-channel people don't suspect a thing! === pleia2_ is now known as pleia2 [23:31] some say the best password is 'incorrect' [23:31] (if you forget it, your computer will simply tell you what it is) [23:32] when i get my password wrote my computer tells me things like "you type like you drive" :\ [23:32] and i don't drive very well :/ [23:34] sudo insults? [23:36] Anyone against "!dpkglock is aptlock"? [23:37] !aptlock [23:37] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [23:37] oh that. works for me [23:37] !dpkglock is aptlock [23:37] I'll remember that, Jordan_U [23:43] i don't know. isn't it better to hunt down and gracefully kill the process that's responsible? [23:44] not sure, that gets the job done just as well [23:44] topyli: If there's no process responsible (because it's dead) you need to manually delete the lockfile [23:45] yeah i suppose [23:45] fwiw, this has never ever happened to me in all my insane apt wanderings. perhaps I am merely lucky. [23:45] most of the times users just have synaptic runnign somewhere though [23:45] that's why you only use the factoid if you have a clue what's going on :P [23:46] That's why I always force people to give me a ps aux before recommending it :) [23:46] fair enough :) [23:46] too many apt/synaptic/adept/whatever-etc's to enumerate [23:46] I thought we had another factoid somewhere for gracefully killing the process based on the PID in the lockfile [23:46] !search pkill [23:46] Found: [23:46] guess not [23:47] !search kill [23:47] Found: opguide, speech recognition-#ubuntu-offtopic, stevenk, kill, resetpanels [23:47] !opguide [23:47] A guide to help operators learn some of the skills necessary to perform their jobs is available on the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorGuide [23:47] huh, didn't know we had that one. [23:47] Why does "kill" return that? [23:47] we do. feel free to improve [23:47] oh, skills. [23:47] It's apropos still :) [23:47] topyli: i meant the factoid, not the guide [23:48] ah [23:49] grr it's late again and i'm pretty sure tomorrow will bring another morning [23:49] topyli: That usually happens, yes. [23:49] is there any hope :( [23:50] rww: I don't see any PID in my lock file here, it's just empty. [23:50] maybe i'm thinking of something else then [23:52] Interestingly the lock file is still there after dpkg finished.
