| LjL | seriously though, is help with running Universal USB Installer on Windows off-topic for #ubuntu, when #windows will probably have no clue what it even is, there is no particular place dedicated to it, and it's ubuntu.com itself that suggests and gives instructions for it? | 12:01 |
|---|---|---|
| jussi | LjL: its the thing for making usb's from iso's for ubuntu, right? | 12:01 |
| LjL | jussi: yes, alternative to Unetbootin | 12:02 |
| jussi | LjL: I didnt see the conversation, but I assume you were making an ubuntu iso? | 12:02 |
| LjL | jussi: well i didn't specify that, but yes | 12:02 |
| jussi | I personally (this is not a policy decision) dont have any issue with that in #ubuntu - as its related to making ubuntu run on your pc. Its similar to wubi advice in #ubuntu imho. | 12:03 |
| LjL | jussi: i thought the same. and also isn't it weird for someone using a tool recommended by the official site to find themselves told to go to other places? | 12:04 |
| jussi | LjL: yes, but again, I havent read the conversation, so Im not sure what happened exactly. | 12:05 |
| jussi | (how long ago was this) | 12:05 |
| LjL | jussi: 14:46:30 your time | 12:05 |
| jussi | LjL: looks like a throw away comment made without understanding the situation (lunatik) - might be worth a PM to chat about it. | 12:07 |
| jussi | or did I miss something | 12:07 |
| LjL | jussi: i think i'll drop it for now, if i see him being uber-strict again about topic i'll have a word | 12:09 |
| jussi | LjL: fair enough. good you brought it up though, its a good thing to have thought about what we consider the limits for #ubuntu are. | 12:10 |
| Pici | I'd be afraid of explicitly drawing lines for that | 12:10 |
| Pici | I mean we help people compile non-repository software from time to time | 12:11 |
| LjL | jussi: i'm not one for excessive topic policing, of course if they're talking about cats it's not ok, but when it's somewhat relevant to Ubuntu, i don't see the need to scare people away. can always nicely point to a more appropriate channel if one knows of one | 12:11 |
| Pici | Thats not really on-topic for #ubuntu, yet I don't think we're going to stop doing it. | 12:11 |
| jussi | I agree wth both of you, but as I think youll both agree, if things like that start to take over the channel, we would probably ask people to move on. | 12:12 |
| Pici | Aye. | 12:13 |
| LjL | hey the Oneiric desktop CD can do upgrades, sort of anyway | 12:14 |
| ikonia | I'll put that in the release notes | 12:15 |
| ikonia | "can sort of do upgrades" | 12:15 |
| LjL | heh | 12:16 |
| mneptok | another one for the quote DB: 08:36 < Mac_Weber> how to reboot the system keeping the Screen sessions? | 14:38 |
| mneptok | @login | 14:51 |
| * mneptok prods ubottu | 14:51 | |
| ubottu | Error: You are not identified | 14:52 |
| mneptok | maybe the change in cloak? | 14:53 |
| pangolin | yup | 14:54 |
| pangolin | see what happens when you become friends with staff | 14:54 |
| jrib | ikonia: hahaha | 14:54 |
| pangolin | they break your access :P | 14:54 |
| mneptok | i think this new cloak is pretty good evidence that staff and i have a relationship where "friendly" is probably not the operative adjective. ;) | 14:54 |
| pangolin | Would you like me to do a search or something for you? | 14:55 |
| * pangolin was raised to always help the old and gassy | 14:56 | |
| mneptok | nah, it's OK | 14:56 |
| mneptok | but thanks | 14:56 |
| pangolin | sure thing | 14:57 |
| Myrtti | never underestimate flatulence. Having had a lot of gastric trouble in the family it's something you learn to *ahem* value | 15:52 |
| mneptok | Myrtti: watch what you say. things like, "never underestimate flatulence" will move you rapidly up my "If My Wife Leaves Me ..." list. O:) | 16:17 |
| * Myrtti runs away, flailing her arms | 16:18 | |
| mneptok | (i don't think you really want to be anywhere near that list. the leader right now is "Chee-Tos and Bourbon" | 16:18 |
| Myrtti | *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG* | 16:18 |
| jrib | cheetos eh | 16:21 |
| Tm_T | ... | 16:33 |
