[10:17] <Fuchs> erm
[10:17] <Myrtti> urm?
[10:18] <Fuchs> why did I get a <uBOTu-fr> Error:       (actually nothing behind it)  on my !es  in #ubuntu?
[10:18] <Fuchs> also: hai Myrtti *yarn*
[10:18] <Myrtti> because niko.
[10:18]  * Myrtti prods
[10:20] <niko> !es
[10:21] <niko> i can't reproduce it :/
[10:21] <Fuchs> niko: I tried  !es > user  in #ubuntu
[10:22] <Fuchs> and I got a /msg form uBOTu-fr with above content  (nothing more than  Error:)
[10:23] <niko> ah
[10:25] <niko> fixed i guess
[10:26] <Fuchs> I shall retry
[10:28] <Sidewinder1> Well, it's gonna be a good day; Fuchs is Pming himself. :-)
[10:28] <Fuchs> niko: looking good. Merci et bonne week-end :)
[10:29] <Fuchs> Sidewinder1: I love to hear myself talking
[10:29] <Sidewinder1> Know what you mean; we have a Siberian Husky that whines to hear himself whine.
[10:30] <Fuchs> I sure hope he doesn't do that when you try to sleep, otherwise: cute :)
[10:31] <niko> bon week-end aussi :)
[10:39] <Sidewinder1> Fuchs, No, I swear he's got an alarm clock inside. He'll whine within 10 mins of when his mommy gets home, his dinner time, time to wake and go out, 05:50 this am. :-( So I walked him and his uncle, another, older Siberian.
[10:39] <Fuchs> reminds me why I don't have pets anymore ;)
[10:40] <Sidewinder1> Nah, in spite of the add'l maintenance we love them. They both have personality, like you wouldn't believe.
[15:17] <quackers> Kind people at Ubuntu-irc can I have a magic cloak please? My launchpad page https://launchpad.net/~quackers

[16:37] <AlanBell> afternoon all
[16:37] <Fuchs> AlanBell: hi
[16:37] <Fuchs> AlanBell: ubuntu member cloak request
[16:37] <AlanBell> so you want a magic cloak quackers
[16:37] <quackers> hello, good evening and welcome :-)
[16:37]  * AlanBell looks around the cupboard
[16:37] <quackers> oh yes please
[16:37] <quackers> I hope it's a big cupboard
[16:38] <AlanBell> ah, yes, there is one at the back
[16:38]  * AlanBell dusts it off
[16:38] <quackers> and a very magic cloak
[16:38] <AlanBell> staff can we have an ubuntu/member/quackers cloak for quackers please
[16:38] <quackers> coming right up boss
[16:38] <quackers> :-)
[16:40] <AlanBell> you should join #ubuntu-uk as well :)
[16:41] <quackers> I will do that. I've joined ubuntu-uk but not on irc yet
[16:41] <quackers> I'm still finding my feet here
[16:41] <quackers> two big yellow ones
[16:42] <AlanBell> so you are mostly a forums person?
[16:42] <quackers> yes, up to now, at least
[16:43] <AlanBell> cool
[16:43] <AlanBell> are you London based?
[16:43] <quackers> NoSir! Bury, Manchester
[16:44] <AlanBell> ok, oop north :)
[16:44] <AlanBell> we need to do more events up there, the U^3 thing was in that area
[16:44] <Fuchs> quackers: could you identify to services?
[16:44] <quackers> I see
[16:45] <quackers> how do I do that please?
[16:45] <Fuchs> quackers: /msg nickserv identify  yourpassword
[16:45] <AlanBell> !register
[16:45] <quackers> oh, I thought I'd done that. I'll try again
[16:46] <quackers> done
[16:46] <Fuchs> quackers: and there you have your lovely cloak. Congratulations :)
[16:46] <quackers> I'm cloaked! Just like a Clingon!  Oh happy day :-)  Thank you
[16:46] <AlanBell> yay, thanks Fuchs
[16:46] <Fuchs> You're welcome :)
[16:47] <AlanBell> about time to organise a release party I think
[16:47] <quackers> thanks AB and Fuchs!
[16:47] <Fuchs> You're welcome
[16:47] <Fuchs> you might want to configure your client to auto-identify,
[16:47] <Fuchs> which one are you using?
[16:48] <quackers> xchat  and can you tell me how?
[16:48] <quackers> I'll have a mooch around in here
[16:48] <Fuchs> sure, for XChat I either recommend using SASL (Link follows) or putting in your  accountname:password   in the server password field (link coming)
[16:49] <Fuchs> http://freenode.net/sasl/README.txt  << SASL   or  http://fun07.online-net.org/bilder/x-chat/2.jpg  << password field
[16:49] <Fuchs> using these methods are prefered to using the nickserv field, since the cloak will be applied before joining channels then  (might fail in very few cases on the latter method, but still better than nickserv)
[16:49] <quackers> Thanks, am investigating now :-)
[16:50] <Fuchs> You're welcome
[16:55] <quackers> I only speak a little German Fuchs, but does that second link refer to the "Network setup" page where it says near the bottom Proxy Authentication nthen use Authentication (HTTP or Socks5 only)
[16:55] <Fuchs> arg
[16:55] <Fuchs> sorry, I'll look for an english one :)
[16:55] <Fuchs> it was the first google hit and I didn't notice
[16:55] <Fuchs> http://www.afternet.org/_media/help/connecting/edit-xchat-network.png  << this should be in the dialogue where you edit servers / network
[16:55] <quackers> np, I have a window open as described above and in the left pane it says Nedtwork then Network Setup
[16:56] <Fuchs> go to the freenode entry you usually use to connect here, and set   yourusername:yourpassword  (including the : ) as the server password there
[16:56] <Fuchs> as I am not using Xchat myself, I unfortunately can't give you better directions, but I am quite sure that you'll find people who can :)
[17:22] <quackers> I'm done..... I think
[17:22] <quackers> auto-connect and auto-identify are complete
[17:22] <quackers> I hope
[19:36] <scott-work> here, AlanBell
[19:36] <AlanBell> scott-work: hi
[19:36] <AlanBell> !register
[19:36] <AlanBell> !nickserv
[19:37] <AlanBell> !identify
[19:37] <AlanBell> thats the one I was after
[19:38] <scott-work> i do enter a password to authenticate for both accounts every time i log on
[19:38] <k1l_> better use "username:password" as the server passwort.
[19:38] <AlanBell> yeah, but you can put it in your IRC client
[19:38] <k1l_> else you will get the changing host join/part because nickserv is too slow
[19:38] <scott-work> i do for ScottL which is using xchat at my home laptop, but at work i am forced to use webchat and i type that manually each time
[19:39] <AlanBell> anyhow, if you apply to join https://launchpad.net/~irc-ubuntustudio-ops/+members we will sort that out fairly soon
[19:39] <k1l_> scott-work: if you use the webchat.freenode.net you can enter it ther by hitting the checkbox
[19:40] <scott-work> doing it now AlanBell
[19:41] <vorian> i'd like to get my ubuntu cloak please :) - launchpad.net/~vorian
[19:41] <AlanBell> scott-work: in the queue is taowa who is just a badge seeker and wont get it, and holstein, do you know who holstein is?
[19:41] <AlanBell> hi vorian
[19:41] <vorian> hola
[19:42] <scott-work> AlanBell: holstein is part of the ubuntustudio-dev team like astraljava is
[19:42] <scott-work> i'm project lead for the team, btw ;)
[19:42] <AlanBell> ok, great
[19:42] <AlanBell> can astraljava apply for the team too
[19:43] <holstein> \o/
[19:44] <holstein> are we claiming our channels?
[19:44] <AlanBell> scott-work: have a flick through this too https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorRequirements
[19:44] <AlanBell> hi holstein
[19:44] <scott-work> AlanBell: i will ask astraljava
[19:44] <holstein> AlanBell: hello!
[19:44] <AlanBell> vorian: yup that all looks to be in order :)
[19:44] <holstein> i joined here a long time ago to go through the steps to get ops in #ubuntustudio ...but i got busy
[19:45] <AlanBell> staff can we get an ubuntu/member/vorian cloak for vorian please
[19:45] <vorian> thanks AlanBell
[19:45] <AlanBell> vorian: did you have an ubuntu cloak before?
[19:46] <vorian> yes, few years ago
[19:46] <AlanBell> ah, right, I was about to add you to https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-cloaks but you are already in it :)
[19:46] <vorian> i kind of drifted away, but i'm coming back for the 12.10 cycle
[19:47] <AlanBell> holstein: scott-work: so #ubuntustudio is one of the core channels so we have a slightly more formal ops process than things like e loco team channels, we do training for the new operators and you become part of the core ops team of about 40 people
[19:48] <holstein> yeah, im into it... i was reading up on it, and i think i misseda training session
[19:48] <AlanBell> vorian: great to hear it, 12.10 should be good, I am going to the UDS for 12.10
[19:48] <holstein> AlanBell: anyways, thanks for taking the time to talk us through it :)
[19:49] <AlanBell> we are going through the training with a current batch of people, I think we will start a new batch early in the 12.10 cycle
[19:49] <vorian> i'll have a lot of catching up before/during uds
[19:50] <scott-work> AlanBell: has the new training session been scheduled already, or just loosely in early 12.10?
[19:51] <AlanBell> well the precise release is kind of the deadline for completing the training of the current intake
[19:51] <AlanBell> I am trying to get it more regular and in line with the release cadence
[19:51] <scott-work> AlanBell: just to be clear, i didn't really want to op for all channel, not into a power trip, i just wanted the latitude to be able to set the topic and such in #ubuntustudio (not sure that i was clear about that)
[19:52] <AlanBell> thats fine, the core ops are not ops across all channels
[19:52] <scott-work> okay :)  i don't mind being a little dangerous in my own backyard but don't want to be really dangerous in others ;)
[19:52] <holstein> AlanBell: i'll kee an eye out for it, and try and make myself more available for the training
[19:52] <holstein> keep*
[19:53] <AlanBell> we can just coordinate stuff across channels and once you are an op in one channel you can add other channels easily
[19:53] <AlanBell> anyhow, time for my dinner, chinese I think :)
[19:54] <holstein> AlanBell: thanks again!
[19:54] <astraljava> Hi, according to scott-work's recommendations, I applied for #ubuntustudio IRC ops on LP. What can I do next to get things going?
[19:54] <holstein> astraljava: we come for training
[19:55] <AlanBell> astraljava: now a bit of waiting I am afraid :)
[19:55] <astraljava> AlanBell: Thanks! :)
[19:59] <Myrtti> vorian: did you want to keep parts of your current cloak or just replace it?
[20:00] <vorian> just replace it please :)
[20:06] <astraljava> AlanBell: Will you inform us about the beginning of the training? Or do we need to hang out on this channel until that date?
[20:07] <Myrtti> vorian: there you go
[20:07] <AlanBell> astraljava: you will get a mail from launchpad at the very least
[20:07] <vorian> thanks Myrtti
[20:08] <AlanBell> you are welcome to hang out here too
[20:08] <astraljava> AlanBell: Excellent, thanks! I tend to keep my open buffer list to a minimum when possible, so I'll join back again when the training starts. Thanks for your help so far! :)
