elkykeep an eye on Coke in #u07:46
bazhangwhoa annoying07:57
ubottuIn ubottu, amithkk said: ls is a command08:02
amithkkSo this is the OpRoom :D08:02
bazhangthe very same08:03
amithkkWhere dcan I get the current source for ubottu?08:05
amithkk*can08:05
Unit193!botclone08:05
ubottuubottu uses supybot, which is available in the main !repositories, with additional plugins that are available at http://ubottu.com/clone.html - to help out with ubottu development please join #ubuntu-bots-devel :)08:05
amithkkActually.. I already have a fork :D08:06
bazhang#ubuntu-bots-devel  <--- best bet amithkk08:06
amithkkAnyways, did you guys put the ENFORCE flag on him/her/it?08:07
bazhangamithkk, pardon?08:07
bazhangamithkk, why not try that bots channel?08:07
amithkkENFORCE is a NickServ flag that makes it impossible for others use the nick08:08
amithkkso, If ubottu netsplits, anybody can imitate him even without the pass :D08:08
amithkkjust notifying it08:08
bazhangamithkk, try the bots channel?08:08
amithkkWhoops.. Sorry :d08:08
amithkk*:D08:09
bazhanglmgtfy gets me steamed08:42
bazhang<James_WB> where do i find the home directory in natty narwhale ?09:10
Jordan_USeems like an honest, if poorly phrased question.09:10
bazhangwhy the secrecy09:18
bazhangrp-ppppoe?09:18
bazhang-p09:19
Jordan_UNo idea.09:19
bazhangsounds like some cracking / sniffing or something09:19
Jordan_UNot to me.09:20
bazhangpppoe should already be installed09:24
bazhangnot clear what the 'rp-' is for though09:25
Jordan_URoaring Penguin software apparently.09:25
bazhangheh nice09:26
Jordan_UIt looks like network-manager has a section for pppoe (labeled "DSL") in connection-settings, and pppoeconf seems to be a nice pseaudo GUI configuration tool as well (no idea how they interact with each other).09:27
Jordan_UI would start with trying network-manager personally, but I need to get some sleep so I won't be following this much longer.09:28
bazhangyep, and he quit09:30
Jordan_UI don't understand people like that. They admit to knowing almost nothing about Ubuntu (nothing wrong with that) yet they refuse to accept our advice as valid.09:31
Myrttiit's a common pitfall09:32
bazhangI have had to use that pppoe in fact with network manager09:32
Myrttiwe refuse to acknowledge our own limitations09:32
bazhangvery easy to use with a nice menu and all09:32
Tm_Tor doubt things we do not know09:33
Myrttiespecially when we don't know the people giving the advice09:33
MyrttiI'd probably install moon and Mars on my Ubuntu if popey would tell me they would fix it from overheating09:33
Myrttibut that's because I know popey09:34
Myrttithere's no badges in IRC to tell who to trust09:34
Jordan_UFair enough.09:34
Tm_Tthat, indeed09:38
Tm_Thaving ops their hat on to indicate who they can trust? and suddenly only ops' advice suffice09:38
Tm_Thrrrrr09:39
Tm_Tpeople do already call ops for getting help "because they know"09:39
popeyirc + mailing lists both have this problem which have been solved by forums + askubuntu ⍨09:39
Tm_Tpopey: hmmm, how forums rate people?09:40
popeypeople can get 'thanks' and 'reputation'09:40
popeynot specifically ubuntu forums09:40
Tm_Tah, yes09:40
popeybut forums in general have ways of showing people have been around09:40
Tm_Tyeah, post count is bad way to rate people though09:41
Tm_TI've seen way too much abuse of that before09:41
topylipopey: what is 'reputation'? amount of activity or sustained participation or something?09:41
popeyit's one of the metrics you can use, certainly09:41
popeyyeah, can't remember which forum I saw it on09:42
topylithe thanks/thumbs-up system is good09:42
popeyyeah, many are open to abuse, the askubuntu one seems to be the best I've seen09:43
Tm_Ttopyli: most of the time yes09:43
popeygetting badges for specific tasks, earning the 'right' to edit stuff once you've been around a while and got enough reputation09:43
bazhangbest to abuse?09:43
topylii think it was LjL at some point who suggested a 'thankyou-bot', which would allow #ubuntu users to somehow thank a helper09:43
Tm_Ttopyli: not on finnish tech news comment sections though09:43
topyliTm_T: well over there you only have to bash microsft or apple and get +30009:44
bazhangw00t09:45
bazhangI would be at 10 trillion already09:45
Tm_Ttopyli: yeah /:09:45
topylii can hear the sound of bazhang creating accounts on *.fi09:45
bazhangI need a finnish sounding nickname, now09:46
Tm_Tbazhang: "jesperi"09:46
Tm_Tdone09:46
bazhangbazhanglyi?09:46

bazhangJordan_U, just let him install Vixta09:46
bazhangit is a picture perfect recreation of vista09:47
Tm_Thi Radium, how can we help you?11:14
CheeseheadHi, I noticed that http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ seems down. Where's the best place to report that?11:20

bazhangoffensive?13:44
Picion the scale of things we've seen, I say its rather tame. Lets see if they cause an issue.13:45
bazhangs/if/when/ I bet13:45
LjLsigh, kindergarten13:52
bazhang<yzhd> FAIL ERROR, CANNOT OPEN DISK DRIVE13:54
bazhangnever seen that error before13:55
bazhangperhaps wubi?13:55
bazhangno response via PM with radium14:05
bazhanghe cross posted it there14:39
Piciah14:40
LjLbazhang: tbh while he might have an attitude, answering "!editors" to a specific question about an editor feature is not really appropriate either, i can sort of understand him getting a bit upset at this15:05
bazhanghe is very rude to all helpers15:06
