Please stop with the nonsense or you will be removed. [09:20] could it be a bot? [09:21] If it is, it's a bot that thinks queries are channels. [09:21] It is responding when spoken to. Not sure why 'bootris' is prepended though. [09:34] talking bot [09:37] I think it is [09:38] gone [13:31] 4 from the same IP just entered #ubuntu Sheila____ and 3 others [13:32] school, I presume [13:32] will have a look [13:32] already removed one [13:33] /csmute *!*@221.Red-81-35-0.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net [13:34] gone [14:58] Guys, I need a place to put ubot4. [15:05] alright, what did you have in mind? my handbag is spacious but it doesn't have a python inside. [15:05] (no crude jokes please) [15:10] Some server somewhere. ;) [15:11] jpds: I'll stick on mine for a while if you need somewhere [15:36] jpds: i may also be able to offer some help. just axe. [16:26] pleiades (~pleiades@69.196.154.27) has joined #ubuntu-offtopic [16:26] also #u and +1 [16:32] Steve McQueen's got nothing on me. I'll take you back west of Pleiades. [16:36] mneptok: sounds like the singer has a cold [17:01] oCean: the studio time was booked in advance, i guess. ;) [17:02] (: [18:09] @mark #ubuntu baconbacon123 (~christoph@c-69-136-146-29.hsd1.mi.comcast.net) not sure if user is trolling or if they are new to irc. Some silliness. [18:09] The operation succeeded. [19:08] !ping [19:12] another contentless ping... sigh... [20:01] I have a user continuosly PMing me with this U started da shit. [20:01] questioning my faggy linux abilities. [20:01] [20:01] * Loaded log from Thu Mar 1 11:59:56 2012 [20:01] [20:01] also, I'm too lazy to /query. :] [20:01] 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] ignore them [20:02] pangolin, you might look at their posts. [20:04] will keep an eye open [20:05] pangolin, thanks no biggie, just the perjorative was bothersome in the channel. [20:20] DJones called the ops in #ubuntu (afaccrucazz) [20:28] am i quiet-ed on #ubuntu? [20:28] +q? [20:28] No. [20:29] No one seems to know the answer to your question, or hasn't seen it. [20:29] Try asking it again (all on one line) and perhaps someone will be able to answer. [20:29] Pici, how could no one know answer to a newbie question? [20:29] It's not like asking for psychic powers to install my system automatical [20:29] y [20:29] can you check? [20:30] also, this [20:30] [22:24] == Cannot send to channel: #ubuntu [20:30] nevermind [20:30] thanks Pici [20:30] np [20:31] AlanBell: thanks, I haven't done any USB installs myself, so I wouldn't have been much help. [22:17] ok what was i banned for this time? [22:19] or is this a residual ban from some time ago? [22:19] * M4dH4TT3r has alot of those [22:32] M4dH4TT3r: why do you get lots of bans? [22:36] cause im a ass? [22:36] did i win a million dollars? [22:38] no, and I am not sure you are winning a return pass to #ubuntu either [22:39] ive been good for a while though [22:39] :D [22:40] 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] 2012-02-29T16:08:21 cannot find sandbox server = network error? [22:41] that is not a well formed question [22:43] 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] you know what im talking about [22:44] there is no context [22:44] I have *no* clue what you are talking about [22:45] I am so clueless that I am now even curious as to what on earth you were on about [22:45] 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] is sandbox the name of a server on your network perhaps? [22:46] no it was the exact error i was getting from ubuntu [22:46] were you trying to run a command when you got an error? [22:46] firefox or update or anything network related [22:46] i already fixed it it was the network [22:46] and was that in a popup dialog window? [22:47] "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] 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] yes [22:50] do you have a proxy server called sandbox? [22:51] are you running in English, or translating these error messages from some other language? [22:53] no [22:53] english [22:53] sorry bout that sandwich had my name on it [22:55] i had never seen that error before myself thats y i was in there asking [22:55] I doubt anyone else had ever seen it either [22:56] and it was a clean install of ubuntu so it was very unusual you know what it was exactly? [22:57] 11.10 [22:57] Perhaps you should ask on askubuntu.com [22:57] * mneptok reminds everyone that this is not a support channel [22:57] i dont do forums [22:57] very strange stuff [22:58] anyhow, what I wanted to show you was what a support conversation looks like [22:58] my attention span doesnt shoot as far as forums [22:58] what you were doing in #ubuntu was repeating incomprehensible garbage [22:58] and no one even acknowledged my existance thus the repitition [22:58] 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] add more value, don't repeat yourself [22:59] 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] M4dH4TT3r: if you cannot make such an accounting, official Ubuntu IRC channels are not for you. [23:00] :P back at you [23:01] the #ubuntu support channel is for constructive support conversations [23:01] thanks for your support Alanbell [23:01] what I want to do here is establish that you can have such a conversation [23:01] if you can't then there is little point letting you back into the channel [23:02] yes but i dont take well to snide comments or bikeshedding [23:02] 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] i think bikeshedding is a good reason to be banned :D [23:03] M4dH4TT3r: the forums suggestion is a good one. there's less immediacy and you may well be better able to edit yourself. [23:05] mneptok your comment was snide and didnt alanbell just say repitition is uncalled for (especially when youve been anwsered) [23:05] yeah i dont take a year to fix things [23:06] i take 30sec-340mins [23:06] depending on the job [23:06] forums are crap [23:08] i wouldnt edit what i say if i had the choice as fake people suck [23:08] 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] In that case, #ubuntu is *not* an option for you. [23:10] 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] M4dH4TT3r: you know that will get you chucked off freenode altogether right? [23:11] dum dee dee [23:14] i just wanted to say - thanks again for your support alanbell and :p to elky for being and condoning fake people [23:16] oh, I was expecting a return as M4RCH_H4R3 or something [23:19] that was more ch3sh1r3_ca7
