rwwJuest: As you've been told in the past, constantly disconnecting and reconnecting from freenode makes it difficult for us to discuss your situation. Come back when you have a stable connection.00:01
JuestNow is stable. just lost wifi but quickly reconnected00:02
Juestyes, bazhang,  in #ubuntu....00:03
bazhangJuest, any idea why you were banned?00:03
Juestiusses with ikonia, rooted support, etc00:03
Juesti already said00:04
bazhangJuest, thats not quite correct00:04
Juest:(00:04
Juestwhy?00:04
bazhangissues with following the channel guidelines00:04
bazhangnothing to do with any particular individual00:04
Juestah...00:05
bazhangJuest, seems you need to read the channel guidelines and code of conduct again.00:06
bazhang!guidelines | juest00:06
ubottujuest: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines00:06
bazhang!coc | Juest00:06
ubottuJuest: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct00:06
Juestis there a channel for unsupported questions? like iusses with root00:06
rwwno, that's what "unsupported" means00:06
bazhang##linux00:06
Juestbazhang, the ban is from a time ago00:07
bazhangJuest, but you still are blaming others00:07
bazhangJuest, there is not a timeline for comprehending the channel guidelines00:07
Juesthow's that?00:08
rwwAs an aside, Juest's bans were April 24th to April 30th, June 5th to June 12th, and June 12th until now.00:08
Juestthe blaming00:08
bazhangJuest, if you dont understand them, and want to blame issues with others, then the ban will not be lifted00:08
Juesti do, just...00:09
Juesti am not a trouble-free guy00:09
bazhangJuest, yet the first thing you said was you had issues with someone, and not that it was your own not following channel guidelines00:09
rwwJuest: The second time you were banned, you came in here and agreed to our guidelines, got unbanned, and then got banned the same day for breaking them again. Why would we want to unban you again?00:10
Juestseems my world is not compatible with everyone's world00:10
bazhangJuest, so come back when you can be trouble-free00:10
Juesti never will00:10
rwwOkay. Have fun elsewhere, then.00:10
Juest...be trouble-free00:10
bazhangJuest, then #ubuntu is not the place for you00:10
popeyJuest: other support options are available like the forums and askubuntu00:11
bazhang!askubuntu00:11
ubottuAskUbuntu is a support resource that offers non-realtime support by the community! Can't get your problem fixed on IRC? Try AskUbuntu! - http://askubuntu.com/ You can discuss AskUbuntu in #ubuntu-stack00:11
ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (cyberwave appears to be abusive and has been muted, will need to be UNMUTED MANUALLY)00:11

rwwanyway, back to the matter at hand00:12
Juestwhy?, i just want live and quick solutions....00:12
bazhangJuest, your ban will not be lifted until you can be trouble-free and follow the guidelines00:13
Juest:'(00:13
rwwJuest: #ubuntu is a very busy channel. Without strict rules, it's unmanageable and confusing. Therefore, we have rules. You break those rules repeatedly. Therefore, you are banned.00:13
bazhangJuest, and as you have said that cannot be, and you will not follow them, there is not a way to move forward00:13
bazhangcyberwave, hi00:13
cyberwavehey your floodbot muted me by mistake00:13
rwwThe forums and AskUbuntu are different venues that are not realtime, and thus may be more suited to your psychology.00:14
cyberwavei was trying to get virus help00:14
Juestreally?00:14
cyberwaveyea.  my ubuntu has a virus00:14
cyberwaveor somebody put on a joke program00:14
rwwcyberwave: Unfortunately, you demonstrated a rather problematic lack of common sense by pasting that message in the channel. I'm with the floodbots.00:14
rwwcyberwave: anyways, we're in the middle of something right now. Please hang on a few minutes :)00:14
Juestcyberwave: not you, i was asking to rww...00:14
rwwJuest: yes, really.00:15
cyberwavei was told that copy/pasting error messages was the best way to get help00:15
rwwcyberwave: please wait and we'll get to you in a moment00:15
Juestwhy do you think that?00:15

rwwJuest: why do I think what?00:16
bazhangJuest, there will not be a lifting of your ban00:16
Juestwhat a sucka, he cannot wait..00:16
Juestwhy do you think that?00:16
Juestuh00:16
Juestabout the forums+askubuntu00:16
bazhangyes?00:16
Juestand my pyshco00:17
Juestrww....00:17
bazhang?00:17
rwwJuest: IRC is realtime. There are a lot of people asking things all at once, and we need to sort out different people. You demonstratably do not work well with this environment and its need for strict rules.00:17
rwwJuest: The forums and askubuntu have a very different dynamic, which is one of the reasons that bazhang and I are suggesting you go there for support instead.00:18
Juestwell, i don't like strict rules....00:19
Juesti am not a veryy forum poster00:20
Juestand i always froget to check it00:20
Juestwhatever00:20
Juestfor me irc is much better00:20
bazhangJuest, thats a shame, askubuntu is very helpful00:20
rwwOr, another more blunt reason: We already tried the "agree to unban and follow guidelines" route. It did not work. You're on your third time around. Therefore, we're not comfortable removing your ban at this time, so you /have/ to find somewhere else if you want support.00:21
bazhangJuest, well then join some channels suitable for your style.00:21
bazhangJuest, as our discussion is at an end, please part the channel00:24
Juestany suggestions?00:26
bazhangJuest, I made several00:26

bazhangaugh04:26
bazhangguest888etc is being deliberately obtuse?04:30
rwweither way, this silliness is done as far as I'm concerned04:32
rwwWhen #ubuntu gets very ridiculous, I often step back and stop paying attention because it annoys me. This makes me feel bad because I feel like I know what I'm doing and leaving further reduces the sanity in there. It's a no-win situation for me.04:43
bazhangyep04:48
bazhangtime to take a break at that point04:48
rwwI just got back from a break ;(04:49

bazhangwow. he's nickspamming the entire alphabet04:50
rwwbazhang: I think they stopped.04:50
rwwor not04:51
jussirww: don't feel bad, Its much better that you take the step back route than getting frustrated and burnt out, which often leads to errors in judgement. Also, please, if you still have the feelingthat we do not ahve enough operators in any channel, send the IRCC a mail. Ops are not just there as police peoples, but also to help keep the channel sane and safe without using operator privs. SO if you think we need more, please let us know.04:56
rwwjussi: I don't think it's something we can cure by throwing more operators at it at this point, unless we want to start mandatory vacation rotations ;)04:56
rwwI don't have a solution, though.04:57
rww(and it's rather likely the bug is in my firmware rather than the channel)04:58
jussirww: yeah, its a knotty problem. But please, do keep taking a break when you need it, and don't feel bad for doing it.04:58
tsimpsonbazhang: about @mark, [ is a valid character in nicks, where [foo] and foo are distinct but both valid nicks on IRC. when you @mark with a nick inside [] (like output from /whois) the bot just sees a valid nick, not a nick wrapped in square-brackets. this makes a mark no [foo]!*@* rather than foo!whatever@whatever05:04
tsimpsonjust thought I'd clarify how it works05:04
bazhangtsimpson, thanks, just saw the glitch with > but not [05:04
tsimpsonprobably down to the fact that < and > are both invalid characters for nicks05:05
tsimpsonall of []`_^{}| and a-zA-Z are valid at the start of nicks05:06
bazhangheh nice05:07
tsimpsonadding '-' and 0-9 after the first character05:07
FlannelA face to begin a nick!05:07
tsimpsonI have seen people with "ascii-art" nicks, so yeah05:07
tsimpsonoh, I forgot '\' too05:11

ikoniaAlmtesh's question is reasonable for #ubuntu right ?13:13
bazhangglenn is glda19 with the thunderbird PPA and lightning beta issues of many days13:21
ikoniayes13:21
ikoniaand he agreed to stop asking about it13:21
ikoniaglenn_: do you remember the conversation we had yesterday in this channel where you agreed to stop asking about unsupported software in #ubuntu ?13:22
glenn_yes13:22
ikoniaok - so why are you again asking about it in #ubuntu13:22
glenn_the only querstion is how can i add two version of tb in ubuntu noting more13:23
ikoniaglenn_: did we or did we not agree that the thunderbird 5 stuff was not available in ubuntu beyond testing and the correct channel was #ubuntu-mozillateam ?13:24
glenn_yes13:24
ikoniaok - so again, why are you in #ubuntu asking about it again13:25
ikoniayou know the correct channel, we spoke about it yesterday, you where also in the correct channel yesterday, so why now just ignore what we spoke about13:25
glenn_did you understand the question  what i ask13:26
ikoniayes, how can you have multiple thunderbird versions on your machine at the same time13:27
ikoniaglenn_: and as one of those versions is thunderbird 5 from the PPA or from a different source, we told you "it's not supported" and gave you the correct resources to ask for help/support/advice in13:28
ikoniayou agreed to stop asking about it13:28
glenn_i can ask the same question for other program why ban13:29
ikoniaglenn_: are you trying to install 2 stable and supported thunderbird versions on your ubuntu machine ?13:29
glenn_yesq13:30
ikoniaglenn_: really, which versions ?13:30
glenn_stop it13:30
glenn_i'm sik of it13:31
ikoniano, I'm asking a question, you've just said you're tyring to install 2 stable versions, which versions ?13:31
glenn_leav it13:31
ikoniaglenn_: and I'm sick of having to ask you to stop asking about unsupported software13:31
ikoniaI banned you yesterday and you agreed to stop, I removed the ban and you've just gone back to asking about it13:31
glenn_I'm tired of me having to answer for every question I ask13:32
glenn_i'm tired13:33
elkyYou wouldn't have to answer here now if you'd followed the directions provided previously.13:33
ikoniaglenn_: I think it best you take a break from usuing #ubuntu for a while (you're welcome to use the other channels)13:33
glenn_i'm tired13:34
IdleOneglenn_: for help with thunderbird 5 on Ubuntu #ubuntu-mozillateam is the proper place to ask.13:34
ikoniaglenn_: come back when you feel you agree to stop asking about unsupported software and stick to it13:34
glenn_always ban bban13:34
ikoniaIdleOne: he knows, he's in there, this was explained yesteday, hence why this is now a straight ban13:34
glenn_it's supported stuf13:34

ikoniaglenn_: it's not13:34
