[00:13] acidrain has constantly been skirting !language, !ot, etc [00:29] h00k: so kick him out [00:30] rww: what? Oh, he left. [01:39] I'm using debian, but *this happens in Ubuntu, too!* so halp! [01:49] i disabled dhcp while installing [01:50] crosspost from -server [01:52] ugh [02:37] people dont even try to pretend anymore [02:37] just say "I'm suddenly using your_distro" [03:37] how long has empathy been default? thought it was a while now [03:38] bazhang: since 9.10 [03:38] augh [03:38] theadmin handing out advice without actually knowing what is or is not in Ubuntu [03:39] same with directly editing grub.cfg [03:39] "it works in ARCH!" [03:40] have a talk with him, shape up or ship out, etc. [03:40] bad information is worse than no information. [03:41] I've done so in the past, asked him to read the factoids for grub2 and others, but he has responded with: Like I care! and the like. [03:41] so remove him [03:43] Kay, kids, lets git down to bsns [03:44] Alrighty. You're now not banned in #ubuntu-offtopic; I expect you to follow our !guidelines if you choose to rejoin there. I'll go check on #ubuntu now. [03:46] If I dont follow guidelines, what happens? [03:46] You get banned again [03:46] Oh [03:46] Thats sad [03:47] PerfieM: It is. Which is why we'd prefer it if you followed the guidelines. [03:47] I made the #ubuntu-offtopic banlist all nice and short. Making it long again would make me unhappy. [03:47] anyways, the bantracker is (as usual) failing miserably at having usable documentation [03:48] PerfieM: If I unban you from #ubuntu, will you stick to Ubuntu technical support topics and follow our guidelines? [03:48] rww: I make no promises, so I suggest you dont do that [03:48] PerfieM: If you won't commit to that, then your ban will not be removed from there at this time. [03:48] Honesty is the best policy, amirite? [03:49] rww: no big D [03:50] PerfieM: In the interest of being honest: we tend to view #ubuntu-offtopic as more of a privledge than #ubuntu. So if you're not willing to make the effort to behave in #ubuntu, you should definately be on your best behavior in -offtopic. [03:50] Flannel: silly goose! I'm always on my best behavior! [03:52] that's a bit depressing [03:52] ahahahahahahah [03:52] Anyways, if there isn't anything else we can help you with, please have a safe and productive day [03:52] oh, rww, it will certainly be productive ;) [04:33] In ubottu, theadmin said: !browser is Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Geckomengine), Dillo (GTK), w3m(terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt/GTK, proprietary) [04:36] the change there is s%Opera (Qt%Opera (Qt/GTK%. I recommend ignoring it. [04:38] although I'm pondering removing some of the toolkit mentions from that factoid entirely [04:45] !browsers [04:45] Browsers in Ubuntu's repositories: Firefox (XUL, Gecko), Chromium (Webkit), Konqueror (Qt, KHTML), Epiphany (GTK+, Webkit), Arora (Qt, Webkit), Midori (GTK+, Webkit), w3m (terminal-based), links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !manpage), edbrowse (command-line) [04:46] there, much more factually correct. [04:47] !browsers =~ s/command-line/terminal-based/ [04:47] I'll remember that rww [09:23] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (bleahhh appears to be abusive and has been muted, will need to be UNMUTED MANUALLY) [09:25] aww [10:30] !away > sayakb_away [11:43] someone has band me in #ubuntu, i don't konw why, how can this be fixt ??? [11:44] Hi Lars, you're sure you don't know why? [11:45] Tm_T, yes i am sure, i hadn't postet anything this morning [11:45] lars bans are not removed daily, [11:46] IdleOne, maybe, but why have i been band ??, woh hs done it ?? [11:47] lars, what makes you think this is not to do with your previous behaviour? [11:47] I banned you because you were ban evading. The reason for your multiple bans over the past few weeks are basically because you are unable to follow channel rules [11:47] ban evading ?? [11:48] you have been given the link for appeals, feel free to email the ircc and discuss it with them. The ban will not be removed [11:48] IdleOne, this has been the first time beeing band [11:48] Hmm, this kind of dishonesty isn't going to help any appeals. [11:48] !appeals > XamDM [11:48] XamDM, please see my private message [11:49] Please part the channel now. Have a good day. [11:50] IdleOne, i absolutly don't understand this, i am in this irc for years i never did something wrong and so i don't understand whats going on here [11:51] lars, please don't lie to us. we are a bit crazy but not a single one of us in this channel is stupid. [11:51] i don't lie, so tell me what i have done ?? [11:52] is your name Lars? [11:52] i loked in this morning a few times without typing because of problems with xchat [11:52] IdleOne, yes it is [11:52] is your last initial T? [11:52] then you will remain banned [11:52] my name is Lars Hunaeus [11:52] no T [11:53] maybe you catched the wrong one ore somebody stole my nick ?? [11:53] but the nick is registered [11:56] i use this nick since Ubuntu 8.04, so i don't beleave that somebody used it, i really don't understand whats going on here [11:57] XamDM: Please hold a moment [11:57] well, if you are lars hunaeus, you'd be able to update your xing profile. [11:57] of course i am [11:58] We've had a lot of issues from a user with the same name from a similar IP, so excuse our oddness. [11:58] * Pici leaves the rest up to the other ops [11:58] XamDM, the thing is we have a lars who has the same isp who causes lots of problems. If you can help us make sure we wouldn't be exempting the wrong lars, we can help you [11:58] what shell i do ?? [11:59] http://www.xing.com/profile/Lars_Hunaeus is you? [12:00] Yes [12:00] XamDM: I apologize for calling you a liar. Like the other ops said we have had many issues with a different user from same ISP. [12:01] IdleOne, no problem if we can fix this, by the way lars is a often used name in germany and t-online our biggest isp .... [12:01] and what is ban evading ?? [12:02] circumventing a ban by changing your host in one way or another [12:04] IdleOne, so he often changes his IP ??, if so you will notice that mine just changes once every 24h [12:05] XamDM, I've just signed up to xing, I'm going to PM your my profile url and you can message me with it? Then we will know :) [12:05] ok [12:07] XamDM, thanks so much for working with us there. [12:07] IdleOne, feel free to give him an exempt :) [12:08] XamDM: Please try to join #ubuntu now [12:08] sorry for all the confusion. it's never easy dealing with silly kids who have too much time on their hands :) [12:08] XamDM: thank you for your understanding. [12:08] thank you, log in worked so far [12:10] cu [12:10] have a good day. [12:12] and he quit [12:12] :/ [12:12] no, lost connection it looks like [12:35] is using unetbootin to get windows 7 on a usb stick an #ubuntu issue? [12:35] no [12:47] ... you can't boot windows from usb. [12:47] it disconnects all usb devices at the "configuring settings" screen to configure them. [12:49] i mean, unless they *completely* rewrote it for 7... [12:49] it's absolutely not possible for xp, not sure about beyond that. [13:01] i'v booted the windows 7 installer from a usb one late and annoying night when windows died on me, but i'm not sure about booting a live image kind of thing [13:01] this was through a hacky way though too, community effort [13:04] all user use ubuntu are stuxnet activated in computer. [13:05] ban evading unless rww removed it [13:05] looks like it was removed [13:06] well trolling anyway,so back [13:08] augh [13:09] eir PM'd me I need to get up to speed on how to respond to the pm [13:33] * [g0t] (~doe@cpe-94-253-198-162.zg2.cable.xnet.hr): johny is the googlebot now used to be g0th [14:15] bazhang: is g0th in #kubuntu the google bot guy ? [14:15] ikonia, was, now it's g0t [14:16] so g0th in #kubuntu isn't g0t [14:16] suspiciously close nick though, and no response other than the !google [14:17] are they on the same network ? I can't see a /last on g0t [14:18] ok, totally different [14:18] same exact results / syntax though [14:18] what do you mean [14:19] g0t is on g0t [~doe@cpe-94-253-198-162.zg2.cable.xnet.hr [14:19] with a totally different ident [14:19] g0th [~jonas@217-162-231-125.dynamic.hispeed.ch] [14:19] looks totally different (beyond the first few letters of the nick) [14:20] g0t responds in #freenode too, so it's not just setup for #ubuntu [14:22] g0t is not g0th, or vice-versa [14:22] agreed [14:23] also responds in pm, so it looks generic, although I've never seen the owner active [15:17] heh [15:18] Troll detected. [15:18] aww [15:23] he's cycling his questions now [15:30] * Pici palms [15:31] Pici: Nothing wrong with a Palm Pre. [15:32] Except maybe the battery life. [15:32] oof [15:32] And that LjL uses one [15:32] how about a palm pilot ? [15:35] [15:35] _ __ ___ [15:35] | '_ \ / _ \ [15:35] | | | | (_) | [15:35] |_| |_|\___/ [15:35] [15:35] I always wondered what '/exec -o sl' would do. [15:36] me too. [15:37] * jpds tests. [15:37] 16:37:34 <@popey> Error opening terminal: tty. [15:37] ☹ [15:38] Damn it. [15:38] * popey damns it [15:38] you are funny [15:39] vidalia seems to be spreading FUD [15:45] Myrtti: Occupational hazard of being British. [15:58] GYM TIME :) [18:22] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (bleahhh appears to be abusive and has been muted, will need to be UNMUTED MANUALLY) [18:58] EAT DICK HAHA [18:59] good morning tzily [18:59] nice chap. [19:02] !ops [19:02] Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - Tm_T, tritium, elky, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, imbrandon, PriceChild, Madpilot, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, tsimpson, gnomefreak, jussi, topyli, or nhandler! [19:02] rww called the ops in #ubuntu-ops () [19:05] topyli: erm. [19:05] topyli: that ban mask is ever so slightly too wide. [19:05] effective though [19:06] Feel free to leave it, it'll make our lives easier. [19:06] heh [19:06] well, +i would have confused ubottu less [19:06] i wonder how that happened [19:06] we do enjoy confusing ubottu around here [19:07] fail [19:07] try again [19:07] i wonder how that happened [19:07] grr [19:07] maybe i should go to bed [19:07] that may be useful :P [19:08] feel free to repeat that performance in -ot before you go [19:08] there's a similar ban? [19:08] oh, not *yet* === Amaranthus is now known as Amaranth [21:04] Ultimate Edition = #ultimateedition [21:05] a more popular one now is trisquel at #trisquel [21:05] Didn't we discuss switching !variants to a wiki page and putting all the support data there? [21:07] support for the other distros? what about just linking what *is* supported [21:08] afaict , everything but MINT has theirs here on freenode [21:16] because the list is getting longer [21:16] and only a fraction of what is out there [21:20] the alternative iso on Windows, <--- what! [23:01] heh
