[08:16] <szal> morning
[08:16] <szal> unsolicited on-join query in #ubuntu -> [Thursday 20 October 2011] [10:09:11] <|IlIIIIl|> Does QQ http://www.imqq.com have spyware? I'm asking because Chinese anti-virus software says it is and it has a very contradictive EULA.
[08:20] <szal> thx & bye :)
[08:30] <elky> possible incoming
[08:32] <Madpilot> ?
[08:33] <elky> he's been doing this for hours. was flooding rants before
[08:34] <Madpilot> who, the f-bomb user I just removed from -ot?
[08:34] <elky> so if he comes here like i request, we may be able to talk sense into him, either that or i get some logs to send to the domain owner
[08:34] <elky> yes
[08:35] <elky> he's changed that ident at least twice now
[08:35] <elky> he was already quieted in -ot afaik
[08:37] <Madpilot> hadn't noticed, but the join/part spammed the objectionable username even if he was quieted
[08:39] <elky> yes. the username is a retaliation
[08:42] <Madpilot> ah, fun
[13:50] <Pici> indeed
[14:00] <Dave2> It is? I wish someone'd told me earlier :(.
[14:05] <h00k> Dave2: Everything on the internet is true
[18:21] <Pici> genii-around: I know #kubuntu is more lax with offtopic stuff, but do you think this conversation should move elsewhere?
[18:22] <genii-around> Pici: Generally yes. I wanted to find him a link or 2 in right direction and then point out it isn't a progrtamming channe;
[18:22] <Pici> genii-around: k
[18:29] <genii-around> Pici: Just then my boss has to come down for an extended conversation :-/
[19:12] <genii-around> I find it amusing !uk but not !us exists
[19:13] <funkyHat> genii-around: I think that's because ubuntu-uk is a loco, while there are several locos in the US
[19:13] <oCean> ubuntu R us
[19:14] <genii-around> Heh
[19:14] <genii-around> funkyHat: Yes, this is true they have all the #ubuntu-us-<state-designations>
[19:25] <Pici> Restore from your backup is one of my favorite answers.
[19:26] <funkyHat> Yes ⢁)
[19:26] <funkyHat> Closely followed by "have you filed a bug?"
[19:27] <LjL> in ##club we follow those things with !laughtrack
[19:27] <Pici> GTRsdk tried to upgrade from lucid to precise...
[19:27] <funkyHat> ⢁|
[19:27] <Pici> newsflash: it didn't work.
[19:28] <funkyHat> I haven
[19:28] <funkyHat> 't even seen an upgrade from Natty to Oneiric go without a hitch ;D
[19:30] <funkyHat> *eventually* I will get used to the ; and ' keys being slightly narrower than usual on this keyboard...
[19:32] <Pici> all of my upgrades went fint.
[19:32] <Pici> fine too
[19:35] <funkyHat> My brother's laptop spewed out some error he didn't understand at him, update-manager failed catastrophically on my PC, and my friend's laptop didn't manage to complete the update either. Fortunately I was there to sort that one out
[19:36] <funkyHat> And my brother's laptop seems to be OK except it's complaining about his windows partition on every boot now, despite chkdisk reporting no errors
[19:46] <oCean> * Googlebot (googlebot@189.24.56.175) has joined #ubuntu
[20:01] <genii-around> I guess I had atypical results, both my boxes upgraded to 11.10 without major incident
[20:02] <Pici> My server was upgraded through ssh, as per usual, with no isses.
[20:03] <genii-around> I think it helps a lot if you have decent hardware ( no weird wifi cards, etc )
[20:37] <funkyHat> Pici: out of interest do you use do-release-upgrade or edit sources and upgrade?
[20:40] <Pici> funkyHat: do-release-upgrade... always.
[20:40] <Pici> Even on my non-server machines.
[20:42] <funkyHat> The last several times I tried that on my PC (admittedly nearly always pre-release) it crapped out and I had to recover using aptitude
[21:05] <Myrtti> I still do fresh installs
