[09:20] <Myrtti> could it be a bot?
[09:21] <Flannel> If it is, it's a bot that thinks queries are channels.
[09:21] <Flannel> It is responding when spoken to.  Not sure why 'bootris' is prepended though.
[09:34] <Tm_T> talking bot
[09:37] <Myrtti> I think it is
[09:38] <Tm_T> gone

[14:58] <jpds> Guys, I need a place to put ubot4.
[15:05] <Myrtti> alright, what did you have in mind? my handbag is spacious but it doesn't have a python inside.
[15:05] <Myrtti> (no crude jokes please)
[15:10] <jpds> Some server somewhere. ;)
[15:11] <ikonia> jpds: I'll stick on mine for a while if you need somewhere
[15:36] <mneptok> jpds: i may also be able to offer some help. just axe.
[16:26] <oCean> pleiades (~pleiades@69.196.154.27) has joined #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:26] <oCean> also #u and +1
[16:32] <mneptok> Steve McQueen's got nothing on me. I'll take you back west of Pleiades.
[16:36] <oCean> mneptok: sounds like the singer has a cold
[17:01] <mneptok> oCean: the studio time was booked in advance, i guess. ;)
[17:02] <oCean> (:

 also, I'm too lazy to /query. :]
 u no tell me wut to do, this is a private talk too, lol after asking them not to PM me on #ubuntu
[20:02] <pangolin> ignore them
[20:02] <urfr332gO> pangolin, you might look at their posts.
[20:04] <pangolin> will keep an eye open
[20:05] <urfr332gO> pangolin, thanks no biggie, just the perjorative was bothersome in the channel.
[20:28] <Ubi_DaX> am i quiet-ed on #ubuntu?
[20:28] <Ubi_DaX> +q?
[20:28] <Pici> No.
[20:29] <Pici> No one seems to know the answer to your question, or hasn't seen it.
[20:29] <Pici> Try asking it again (all on one line) and perhaps someone will be able to answer.
[20:29] <Ubi_DaX> Pici, how could no one know answer to a newbie question?
[20:29] <Ubi_DaX> It's not like asking for psychic powers to install my system automatical
[20:29] <Ubi_DaX> y
[20:29] <Ubi_DaX> can you check?
[20:30] <Ubi_DaX> also, this
[20:30] <Ubi_DaX> [22:24] == Cannot send to channel: #ubuntu
[20:30] <Ubi_DaX> nevermind
[20:30] <Ubi_DaX> thanks Pici
[20:30] <Pici> np
[20:31] <Pici> AlanBell: thanks, I haven't done any USB installs myself, so I wouldn't have been much help.
[22:17] <M4dH4TT3r> ok what was i banned for this time?
[22:19] <M4dH4TT3r> or is this a residual ban from some time ago?
[22:19]  * M4dH4TT3r has alot of those
[22:32] <AlanBell> M4dH4TT3r: why do you get lots of bans?
[22:36] <M4dH4TT3r> cause im a ass?
[22:36] <M4dH4TT3r> did i win a million dollars?
[22:38] <AlanBell> no, and I am not sure you are winning a return pass to #ubuntu either
[22:39] <M4dH4TT3r> ive been good for a while though
[22:39] <M4dH4TT3r> :D
[22:40] <AlanBell> last time you were in #ubuntu I think you were removed for ban evasion. Whilst you were there you were repeating some nonsensical phrase that claimed to be a question
[22:40] <AlanBell> 2012-02-29T16:08:21 <M4dH4TT3r> cannot find sandbox server = network error?
[22:41] <AlanBell> that is not a well formed question
[22:43] <M4dH4TT3r> why not it lists the error and my assumption im not one of those english major degree people that only makes it in this field because they have a degree
[22:44] <M4dH4TT3r> you know what im talking about
[22:44] <AlanBell> there is no context
[22:44] <AlanBell> I have *no* clue what you are talking about
[22:45] <AlanBell> I am so clueless that I am now even curious as to what on earth you were on about
[22:45] <M4dH4TT3r> where hr hires the guy with the degreee no matter what kind it is over the guy with 20+yrs experience = what im talking about
[22:45] <AlanBell> is sandbox the name of a server on your network perhaps?
[22:46] <M4dH4TT3r> no it was the exact error i was getting from ubuntu
[22:46] <AlanBell> were you trying to run a command when you got an error?
[22:46] <M4dH4TT3r> firefox or update or anything network related
[22:46] <M4dH4TT3r> i already fixed it it was the network
[22:46] <AlanBell> and was that in a popup dialog window?
[22:47] <AlanBell> "cannot find sandbox server = network error?" was that the full text of the error or was "cannot find sandbox server" the error and the "= network error?" bit your question?
[22:48] <M4dH4TT3r> no none of the updates would finish from terminal or package manager it would give that error while trying and firefox would open a window that said that
[22:48] <M4dH4TT3r> yes
[22:50] <AlanBell> do you have a proxy server called sandbox?
[22:51] <AlanBell> are you running in English, or translating these error messages from some other language?
[22:53] <M4dH4TT3r> no
[22:53] <M4dH4TT3r> english
[22:53] <M4dH4TT3r> sorry bout that sandwich had my name on it
[22:55] <M4dH4TT3r> i had never seen that error before myself thats y i was in there asking
[22:55] <AlanBell> I doubt anyone else had ever seen it either
[22:56] <M4dH4TT3r> and it was a clean install of ubuntu so it was very unusual you know what it was exactly?
[22:57] <M4dH4TT3r> 11.10
[22:57] <elky> Perhaps you should ask on askubuntu.com
[22:57]  * mneptok reminds everyone that this is not a support channel
[22:57] <M4dH4TT3r> i dont do forums
[22:57] <AlanBell> very strange stuff
[22:58] <AlanBell> anyhow, what I wanted to show you was what a support conversation looks like
[22:58] <M4dH4TT3r> my attention span doesnt shoot as far as forums
[22:58] <AlanBell> what you were doing in #ubuntu was repeating incomprehensible garbage
[22:58] <M4dH4TT3r> and no one even acknowledged my existance thus the repitition
[22:58] <AlanBell> if you are feeling ignored and want to say something in addition to your original question then take some time to describe the situation
[22:59] <AlanBell> add more value, don't repeat yourself
[22:59] <AlanBell> nobody had anything to say to your original statement
[22:59]  * M4dH4TT3r actually hates repeating himself but cannot account for what he says on a mommentary basis
[23:00] <mneptok> M4dH4TT3r: if you cannot make such an accounting, official Ubuntu IRC channels are not for you.
[23:00] <M4dH4TT3r> :P back at you
[23:01] <AlanBell> the #ubuntu support channel is for constructive support conversations
[23:01] <M4dH4TT3r> thanks for your support Alanbell
[23:01] <AlanBell> what I want to do here is establish that you can have such a conversation
[23:01] <AlanBell> if you can't then there is little point letting you back into the channel
[23:02] <M4dH4TT3r> yes but i dont take well to snide comments or bikeshedding
[23:02] <mneptok> M4dH4TT3r: my comment was not snide. it is 100% earnest. official channels have guidelines. if you cannot control what you say, there's no way for you to reasonably assure anyone that you will follow guidelines.
[23:03] <M4dH4TT3r> i think bikeshedding is a good reason to be banned :D
[23:03] <mneptok> M4dH4TT3r: the forums suggestion is a good one. there's less immediacy and you may well be better able to edit yourself.
[23:05] <M4dH4TT3r> mneptok your comment was snide and didnt alanbell just say repitition is uncalled for (especially when youve been anwsered)
[23:05] <M4dH4TT3r> yeah i dont take a year to fix things
[23:06] <M4dH4TT3r> i take 30sec-340mins
[23:06] <M4dH4TT3r> depending on the job
[23:06] <M4dH4TT3r> forums are crap
[23:08] <M4dH4TT3r> i wouldnt edit what i say if i had the choice as fake people suck
[23:08] <AlanBell> ok, I don't think you are going to get much value from our support channel, I suspect askubuntu.com or other places are going to suit you better, thanks for your time, but I don't think this is going anywhere useful
[23:08] <elky> In that case, #ubuntu is *not* an option for you.
[23:10] <M4dH4TT3r> nm this doing things the right way takes forever and like i said i dont have a year to commit to getting a ban removed ill just evade it its really much faster
[23:10]  * M4dH4TT3r still hates fake people
[23:10] <AlanBell> M4dH4TT3r: you know that will get you chucked off freenode altogether right?
[23:11] <mneptok> dum dee dee
[23:14] <M4dH4TT3r> i just wanted to say - thanks again for your support alanbell and :p to elky for being and condoning fake people
[23:16] <AlanBell> oh, I was expecting a return as M4RCH_H4R3 or something
[23:19] <elky> that was more ch3sh1r3_ca7
