[06:40] <rww> huzzah, a trainwreck!
[06:41] <Tm_T> ?
[06:41] <rww> #ubuntu
[06:42] <Tm_T> bah, place redirects or flat ban for that snake
[06:43] <rww> nah, hopefully they got the picture and won't be back for non-support reasons
[06:43] <Tm_T> did you talk to celthunder how is actions were not ok?
[06:44] <rww> more concerned about the channel members that think it's appropriate to link to 2g1c and then laugh about it while simultaneously complaining about offtopicness, personally
[06:44] <Tm_T> that, indeed
[06:45] <elky> Is it wrong that I read that as "flat out burn that places"
[06:45] <elky> s/places/place/
[06:45] <Tm_T> no, that's only good
[06:46] <rww> celthunder just apologized in PM, fwiw
[08:46] <Corey> I'd fix the grammar around the !anyone factoid.
[08:46] <Tm_T> please do
[08:53] <Corey> My syntax for modifying factoids is off.
[08:53] <Tm_T> give a replacement text and I'll throw it in
[08:53] <Tm_T> !anyone
[08:55] <ldunn> Corey: are you a new op? We're only allowed to edit factoids in this channel iirc. (New ops, that is).
[08:56] <Corey> ldunn: Quite.
[08:56] <Corey> A high percentage of the of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next  question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll.
[08:56] <Corey> Er, too many "of the"
[08:57] <Tm_T> !no, anyone is <reply>A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll.
[08:58] <Tm_T> Corey: good now? ^
[08:58] <Corey> Tm_T: Better for now. :-)
[09:00] <Tm_T> jolly good
[15:44] <ikonia> ?
[19:28] <GalahadForce> Do any of you guys run nvidia cards?
[19:28] <GalahadForce> hey ubottu
[19:28] <oCean> GalahadForce: hi there, are you aware that this is not the support channel?
[19:28] <GalahadForce> i finally got it to boot in fail safe mode
[19:29] <GalahadForce> oh im sorry
[19:30] <Pici> k
[20:18] <mneptok> I HAVE AN NVIDIA CARD!
[20:18]  * mneptok bounces and awaits his prize
[20:26]  * Tm_T gives mneptok a cookie and pats
[20:26] <LjL> mneptok: no can mine :(
[20:30] <gord> people talking to the bot as if its a person never gets old
[20:31] <gord> its cute/adorable
[20:31] <rww> LjL: you can, it's just not efficient!
[20:31] <rww> gord: people talking to me as if i'm a bot is fun ^.^
[20:46] <LjL> rww: tell mneptok about mining on nvidia
[20:47] <rww> mneptok: nvidia likes points that float better than points that sink, or maybe the other way around, and bitcoin likes the one it doesn't like, so nvidia cards are crap and you should buy 10 million FPGAs and destroy the bitcoin economy instead.
[21:17] <Tm_T> eh
[21:17] <Tm_T> !bash
[21:17] <Tm_T> !cli
[21:53] <Corey> Response was a pile of racial epithets.  Lovely.
[21:54] <IdleOne> that is his right to free speech
[21:59] <Corey> Something in the water today?
[21:59] <IdleOne> school is done in two days right?
[21:59] <IdleOne> it's going to be like this for the next 2.5 months :/
[21:59] <Pici> Ugh
[22:00] <Pici> sorry guys, I should have paid more attention to that
[22:00] <Corey> Pici: Nah, we caught it.
[22:00] <IdleOne> looks like a coordinated attack of the trolls
[22:00] <Pici> Just trying to get some real work done here and can't pay full attention to IRC
[22:00] <Corey> IdleOne: I'd not go that far.
[22:01] <IdleOne> ok, so it's just a bunch of kids.
[22:41] <Corey> I'm curious as to folks' thoughts on whether or not some distributions are reasonable to expect a certain level of technical competence from their respective userbases.
[22:41] <Corey> Obviously Ubuntu targets everyone from the grandmothers on up the chain, but not every distro does this.
[22:48] <charlie-tca> Why wouldn' t they be?
[22:50] <charlie-tca> The distro should be entitled to decide who/what group their own user base will be.
[22:57] <Guest40866> hi
[22:57] <blz> hello:  could we please have Guest40866 kicked from #ubuntu?
[22:57] <blz> he's been lamely trolling for the better part of 30 minutes
[22:58] <IdleOne> blz: LjL is dealing with it
[22:58] <Guest40866> u said fuck u to me
[22:58] <blz> IdleOne:  ok thank you
[22:58] <IdleOne> Guest40866: Please mind your language
[22:58] <Guest40866> so blz u should get kicked also?
[22:58] <LjL> Guest40866: i don't see that sentence in the channel
[22:58] <blz> Case in point...
[22:58] <Guest40866> IdleOne, sorry
[22:58] <Guest40866> LjL,  someoen did
[22:58] <Guest40866> i think it was vatts
[22:58] <LjL> Guest40866: i see. well, it wasn't blz. that probably escaped our attention.
[22:59] <blz> LjL:  i recall it.  Someone became exasperated with his trolling when he said "I thought computers were designed to play games"
[22:59] <blz> or something of the sort
[22:59] <blz> anyway, i'll leave you to it
[22:59] <blz> thank you
[22:59] <LjL> Guest40866, do you think you can stick to the topic of Ubuntu technical support in #ubuntu?
[22:59] <Guest40866> Ljl im new to this
[23:00] <Guest40866> LjL i didint even know hot to install flash player
[23:00] <Guest40866> LjL sorry if i use the channels wrong??
[23:00] <LjL> Guest40866: well that's a perfectly acceptable question to ask in #ubuntu. on the other hand, your thoughts on what computers were designed for aren't.
[23:00] <maco> Guest40866: from scrollback it looks like it was actually a very rude "shut up" not exactly the one you said (but still not ok)
[23:01] <Guest40866> i apologize
[23:01] <Guest40866> can you guys teach me hoe to use linux?
[23:01] <LjL> chrisf, Metroshica: hi
[23:01] <Guest40866> well im on ubuntu 11.04 i believe
[23:01] <maco> if you're here as spectators, don't bother
[23:01] <LjL> Guest40866: that's a bit of a big question.
[23:01] <LjL> LordVoldemort: hi
[23:01] <LjL> can we help you?
[23:01] <IdleOne> Guest40866: Please use #ubuntu  for support
[23:02] <Guest40866> IdleOne, are you on #ubuntu?
[23:02] <IdleOne> blz Metroshica chrisf if you don't have any reason for being in here please do not idle in this channel.
[23:02] <blz> aah sorry
[23:02] <blz> forgot to sign out
[23:03] <Guest40866> IdleOne, we cant be in here?
[23:03] <LjL> only for the time needed to resolve op-related issues
[23:03] <IdleOne> Guest40866: no.
[23:03] <Guest40866> LjL ill leave sorry i didint know. can you help me out in the other channel?
[23:04] <LjL> Guest40866: best is if you try asking specific questions, "how to use linux" is just too huge a topic.
[23:07] <LjL> @mark #ubuntu-ops rubenjr Probably trolling
[23:07] <IdleOne> !away > grayside|afk
[23:45] <Corey> Okay, I've helped enough in #ubuntu that it's *probably* time I actually got a Ubuntu system running...
[23:47] <Corey> There we go.
[23:48] <IdleOne> took 2 minutes?
[23:49] <LjL> installers are fast these days
[23:49] <Corey> It is when you've got a virtualization system on hardware that rocks. :-)
[23:50] <IdleOne> impressive
[23:50] <Corey> vzctl create 112 --ostemplate ubuntu-10.04-minimal_10.04_amd64
[23:50] <IdleOne> Will you adopt me?
[23:51] <Corey> Should probably spin up an 11.04 as well.
[23:52] <Corey> (3.87 MB/s) - “ubuntu-11.04-x86.tar.gz” saved
[23:52] <Corey> Whee. :-)
[23:52] <Corey> Doh, wanted 64 bit.
[23:54] <Corey> Yeah, ran the vzcreate statement in "time"
[23:54] <Corey> real0m4.881s
[23:55] <IdleOne> now you're just showing off
[23:58] <Corey> A bit. ;-)
