[01:19] <bazhang> now he's trolling -cn, what a surprise
[03:05] <Flannel> Hmmm, maybe Guest21598 is reading like... an hour ago.
[03:06] <IdleOne> really bad lag
[03:06] <Flannel> Half hour, it seems.
[03:06] <Flannel> IdleOne: or he's page-upped and doesn't know it.
[03:06] <IdleOne> that is possible
[03:07] <IdleOne> been there and done that
[04:09] <em> Hey is anyone here authorized to remove bans in #ubuntu+1
[04:10] <IdleOne> on you?
[04:10] <IdleOne> em: done
[04:10] <em> Yes why would that matter?
[04:10] <IdleOne> connection all fixed now?
[04:10] <mneptok> emma: you got banned *again*?
[04:10] <IdleOne> em: actually that was a silly thing of me to ask
[04:11] <em> To the best of my knowledge. I think there was a kid in Iraq DDoSing me. He got klined.

[04:11] <IdleOne> welcome
[04:12] <em> same thing in #ubuntu-uk and #ubuntu if you can lift those
[04:15] <IdleOne> I don't see one for you in #ubuntu
[04:15] <em> oh okay good.
[04:16] <IdleOne> as for #ubuntu-uk you need to ask in #ubuntu-irc
[04:16] <IdleOne> or message on of the ops
[04:16] <em> Okay sure. :)
[04:19] <IdleOne> em: please try joining #ubuntu now
[04:20] <em> okay sure
[04:20] <em> Thanks for all the help folks.

[05:15] <bazhang> !grub2 >mrdeb
[05:16] <mrdeb> hmm
[05:16]  * Pici checks under the couch cushions
[05:16] <mrdeb> so this is the special room huh
[05:16] <bazhang> room 101, yes
[05:16] <mrdeb> ubottu sent me here
[05:16] <Pici> mrdeb: When you use 'is' in a message to ubottu, it thinks you are making a factoid.
[05:16] <Pici> where 'is' grubcfg.
[05:17] <mrdeb> what
[05:17] <Pici> 00:15:38 <ubottu> In ubottu, mrdeb said: where is grubcfg
[05:17] <mrdeb> yes, where is it
[05:17] <bazhang> ask without the !
[05:17] <Pici> Its a bot, not a person, ask a user in #ubuntu
[05:17] <Pici> bazhang: he was in pm
[05:17] <bazhang> in #ubuntu , and I sent you the factoid to read
[05:17] <mrdeb> i did ask and then they sent me t o obutto
[05:18] <mrdeb> ok
[05:19] <IdleOne> mrdeb: ubottu is a program that provides information, when you see it speaking to you it means you should read and most likely follow the links it provides
[05:20] <mrdeb> yes like the link to this room
[05:21] <IdleOne> correct but had you read what the bot said is that it forwarded your edit request
[05:21] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2  <---- this link mrdeb
[05:24] <mrdeb> hmm
[10:42] <ikonia> what a surprise MadHaTTer666
[10:42] <ikonia> been a problem many times
[15:33] <genii-around> Hm, !backtrack just seems to end with listing Ultimate Edition
[15:33] <Pici> I think that is how the factoid is.
[15:33] <bazhang> ultimate is now Super OS I though
[15:33] <Pici> !backtrack
[15:33] <bazhang> +t
[15:36] <genii-around> on the factoids page it has at the end:  Ultimate Edition $hr$<deleted>cut off...
[15:44] <bazhang> ubuntuser seems familiar aka pythonsnake
[15:45] <Pici> huh?
[15:45] <bazhang> asking very odd questions: what is the best DE to compile python
[15:45] <jpds> the best Germany?
[15:45] <Pici> bazhang: Where?
[15:45] <bazhang> Pici, a bit earlier, but many more such
[15:46] <Pici> 10:41:24 >>>> ubuntuuser is now known as PythonSnake
[16:38] <bazhang> is making a windows usb stick (with ubuntu) on topic? seen several requests for same of late
[16:45] <Jordan_U> bazhang: I'd say no as the technical issues are more to do with Windows than with Ubuntu, and ##windows should have people knowlageable enough about *NIX to help with that side of things.
[16:46] <bazhang> Jordan_U, yep. wonder how many of these folks get their iso from technet as well
[16:51] <bazhang> iirc-dev
[17:37] <oCean> ohai!
[17:37] <oCean> one more word about frankcox757
[17:38] <oCean> as soon as he was told that support for mint was in #linuxmint-help on _irc.spotchat.org_ he did join #linuxmint-help
[17:38] <oCean> only on freenode
[17:38] <oCean> so no one was there, then he came back in #u
[17:47] <oCean> oh, and ikonia: p57976C8E.dip.t-dialin.net/87.151.108.142 is definitely lars
[18:46] <oCean> !nomodeset
[18:47] <oCean> ^Apparently I had to use !nomodeset is <reply> A common...
[18:48] <oCean> What's the proper way to edit this?
[18:49] <IdleOne> oCean: !no nomodeset is <reply> ....
[18:49] <IdleOne> but it looks fine as it is
[18:50] <oCean> nope
[18:50] <IdleOne> hehe ok
[18:50] <oCean> it says blah is ... is blah
[18:50] <oCean> let me try
[18:50] <IdleOne> you might have to do it twice
[18:50] <oCean> !no nomodeset is <reply> A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
[18:50] <oCean> !nomodeset
[18:51] <oCean> IdleOne: thanks!
[18:51] <IdleOne> sure thing
[18:51] <IdleOne> ah, ok I see where it looked funny
[19:30] <zub> Hi. As I asked yesterday... got a ban on #ubuntu and I don't know why.
[19:30] <zub> yest. I was told to try later, as the person who banned me was n/a
[19:37] <IdleOne> zub: The issue appears to be complicated and I am not in a position to make a decision on the ban removal. I suggest you return in a few (5 or so) hours when the op who set the ban should be active
[19:37] <zub> complicated?
[19:38] <IdleOne> correct
[19:38] <zub> also, may I know who is the person who gave me the ban? I coudl then discuss it directly with the person
[19:38] <zub> ah, "correct", now I know what's going on :)
[19:38] <IdleOne> you do?
[19:38] <IdleOne> feel free to clue me in
[19:38] <zub> blah, wrong statement
[19:39] <zub> in fact it was supposed to mean "I'm annoyed as "correct" doesn't help a bit"
[19:39]  * zub is not native speaker
[19:39] <IdleOne> I am not annoyed.
[19:39] <zub> well, I am, though it's not your falt, so /me calms down
[19:39] <zub> it's just frustrating
[19:40] <zub> so, to comply with local rules, I'm to leave and return in $NOW+5h?
[19:40] <zub> $NOW+5 = 1:40am... so I will be asleep
[19:41] <zub> IdleOne: (once again) may I know who set the ban/it there a way I can talk directly to him/her?
[19:41] <IdleOne> I understand the frustration and appreciate your understanding. At this point I don't have more information than to say come back in about 4-5hrs
[19:41] <zub> ok, thanks
[19:41] <IdleOne> thank you.
[20:05] <mattmatteh> wabi ban please ?
[20:06] <mattmatteh> LjL: thanks
[20:06] <LjL> thank you
[20:06] <mattmatteh> :)
[20:32] <Pici> mattmatteh: Can we help you with anything else?
[20:39] <mattmatteh> Pici: i was just tabbing through the channels i was in and noticed that, probably not at the moment
[21:05] <wabi> wow..i got it now.. thankz to marinez :)
[21:05] <marienz> wabi: don't forget to verify your email address
[21:06] <wabi> just about to do it, marienz
[21:07] <wabi> done :) thankz again, marienz for helping out
[21:07] <LjL> wabi: if you have any more issues with it please inquire in #freenode. on the other hand, if you want to discuss your ban in #ubuntu, you can do it here.
[21:14] <LjL> wabi: please, leave if you have nothing to discuss here
[21:15] <LjL> wabi: also you can speak here, no need to keep sending me notices
[22:58] <bazhang> * [perme] (~digger@cable-178-148-10-56.dynamic.sbb.rs): Break Into A Server!
[22:58] <bazhang> seems to be advising how to zero a partition
[22:58] <LjL> uhm, it's *sort* of appropriate given the question was how to uninstall ubuntu...
[22:58] <bazhang> risky for a brand new user, imo
[23:49] <bazhang> alphapsi did not read a single link given
[23:49] <bazhang> hope he/she has backups
[23:51] <zub> Hi there. Any luck of discussing my "favourite" issue? Or am I too early?
[23:53] <zub> (talking of my ban at #ubuntu)
[23:57] <mneptok> @login
[23:57] <mneptok> zub: looking ...
[23:58] <zub> mneptok: you possibly don't have context... soprry for not providing any
[23:59] <zub> I first discussed it yesterday here, it was oCean I talked to
[23:59] <zub> was told to ask later, as the person who banned me wasnt available
[23:59] <zub> then I was here several hours ago and was told pretty much the same thing by IdleOne
