[15:38] <bobweaver> where do I write a compaint too about abuse of power ?
[15:38] <ikonia> bobweaver: if you join #ubuntu-ops you can talk to one of the other operator and I can give you the complaint proces
[15:38] <ikonia> process
[15:55] <IdleOne> ubuntu/member getting banned :/
[15:56] <IdleOne> there is something not right going on
[16:11] <Pici> what?
[16:11] <Pici> IdleOne: what?
[16:12] <IdleOne> Pici: bobweaver has been banned from #ubuntu and -+1 because he doesn't understand how to follow simple rules
[16:12] <Pici> IdleOne: ah.
[16:12] <IdleOne> like not asking for +1 support in #ubuntu, not telling people to "google it"
[16:13] <IdleOne> this behaviour coming from an ubuntu/member is disappointing
[16:22] <Sidewinder> I acuually did a whois; thought some one was impersonating him..
[16:24] <Sidewinder> But, he had 'is member cloak on so I assume that it was really him.
[16:24] <AlanBell> IdleOne: when you say +1 support, people are asking for quantal??
[16:24] <IdleOne> AlanBell: yes
[16:24] <AlanBell> gosh
[16:24] <oCean> I NEED IT NOW
[16:25] <bazhang> make it work
[16:25] <oCean> oh, that too
[16:25]  * AlanBell is still having fun with precise
[16:25] <m4v> i upgraded to quantal and nothing is working!
[16:25] <bazhang> haha
[16:27]  * AlanBell has wayland kinda workingish in precise
[16:29]  * popey wonders why you'd do that
[20:56] <AlanBell> we are doing a call for ops across the channels: http://ubottu.com/ircc/2012/05/04/call-for-irc-operators/
[20:57] <EvilResistance> AlanBell:  which time periods are you guys specifically looking for ops to be around during in the core channels?
[20:58] <AlanBell> midnight to morning UTC
[20:58] <AlanBell> as it says in the article :)
[20:58]  * EvilResistance converts 00:00 - 08:00 UTC to UTC-4 and UTC-5
[20:58] <EvilResistance> you mean the article that bugs out halfway down?
[20:58]  * EvilResistance blames firefox
[20:58] <guntbert> AlanBell: would it be very tedious to switch backgound/foreground colors?
[20:58] <AlanBell> works for me
[20:59] <AlanBell> guntbert: well most people will read it on planet ubuntu which is the other way round
[20:59] <AlanBell> I was kind of looking for a green on black consoly geeky theme for it
[20:59] <AlanBell> with a bit of an IRC/irssi feel to it
[21:00] <AlanBell> and a fluid layout that behaves itself with ctrl+mousewheel to zoom the text
[21:02] <guntbert> AlanBell: I understand the geeky aspect - but older eyes prefer dark on light :-) but nvm - I'm not going to apply anyway  ---    ++ for fluid layout
[21:03] <AlanBell> guntbert: some like it light on dark, some dark on light https://lists.launchpad.net/unity-design/msg09290.html
[21:04] <AlanBell> now that I think about it I kind of like the idea that it is light on dark on the blog itself, and dark on light on planet ubuntu so people have both ways to consume it
[21:04] <AlanBell> plus I emailed it to the IRC discussion mailing list
[21:04] <guntbert> AlanBell: of course - don't take me too serious - but its nice to have it both ways
[21:04] <Unit193> My email is light/mid on dark. (Alpine)
[21:48] <LinuxMonkey> Hi all, how's it going?
[21:52] <LinuxMonkey> I was wondering if it was possible to apply to become part of the team. I do have a launchpad account and just resigned a new CoC today with my pgp keys.
[21:53] <IdleOne> LinuxMonkey: if you mean become part of the Ubuntu ops team, yes it is. See http://ubottu.com/ircc/2012/05/04/call-for-irc-operators/
[21:59] <LinuxMonkey> ok thank you verymuch IdleOne I have lots to read
[21:59] <IdleOne> indeed
[22:00] <Tomtiger11> IdleOne: How does one do a Wiki page as a requirement for an irc operator in a core channel?
[22:01] <LinuxMonkey> i have wiki dating back to 2006 im scared to see what ill find I havent updated it and had forgotten about it
[22:01] <IdleOne> Tomtiger11: basically you go to wiki.ubuntu.com/~tomtiger11 and start typing, feel free to copy and then edit someone elses page
[22:02] <IdleOne> the wiki will tell you the page doesn't exist and ask if you want to create it
[22:02] <Tomtiger11> Ok, so its the things ive done to help the community?
[22:02] <IdleOne> correct
[22:02] <IdleOne> read the links that are listed at http://ubottu.com/ircc/2012/05/04/call-for-irc-operators/
[22:03] <IdleOne> also
[22:03] <IdleOne> !canibeanop
[22:03] <IdleOne> gotta run...
[22:04] <Tomtiger11> Ok
[22:04] <Tomtiger11> I doubt il become an op, allthough my past experience is second to none, im nowhere near as active as you in #ubuntu
[22:05] <Tomtiger11> Meh, worth a try
[22:06] <Tomtiger11> Id have a bit of trouble with testimonials
[22:11] <AlanBell> IdleOne: Tomtiger11: without the ~
[22:14] <Tomtiger11> Right
[22:33] <IdleOne> Tomtiger11: quality not quantity is what really matters :)
[22:35] <Tomtiger11> :)
[22:47] <LinuxMonkey> Thanks again for all the hemlp IdleOne :) i've since applied
[22:47] <LinuxMonkey> help*
[22:47] <IdleOne> welcome and good luck
[22:48] <Sidewinder> I was reading the changes to ubottu regarding 'admingroup'  factiod and while I understand what it says, would anyone care to take a moment to describe the significance of those changes (to the rights, not the factoid) as I will need to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 in the coming months. Since I am the only user on this system, I assume the changes will have little to no effect on me, but I am curious.
[22:51] <LinuxMonkey> oh thats one of my submission to the bot :) Significance is that group admin shouldnt be used anymore its now sudo. Ive helped a few users fix their sudo but alot of people keep advising of admin group wich should  be sudo now :)
[22:56] <Tomtiger11> IdleOne: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/tomtiger11
[22:58] <Sidewinder> LinuxMonkey, Thanks; like I said I'm the only one on this 'puter so the change should have little effect to what I do. :)
[23:00] <IdleOne> Tomtiger11: looks good, if you are part of a !LoCo you should put that in there and also try listing any thing (no matter how small) you have done to promote Ubuntu
[23:00] <IdleOne> earlier I said quality, not quantity, but it does take some :)
[23:01] <LinuxMonkey> lol
[23:01] <Tomtiger11> So putting a link on my fathers website to ubuntu, things like that?
[23:01] <IdleOne> Tomtiger11: you know what, my suggestions are more for Ubuntu membership.
[23:01] <Tomtiger11> Or my own website (if i can be bothered to code it sgain)
[23:01] <IdleOne> but every little bit helps yeah
[23:02] <Tomtiger11> Ok, thanks for the tip :)
[23:02] <IdleOne> as for the ubuntu op, the IRCC likes people who are helpful and can take a slap in the face. We get tons of them :/
[23:03] <IdleOne> as you can see from my slanted smiley :P
[23:03] <LinuxMonkey> lol well IdleOne slap me now :) I can take it, I take it all day at work, .lol
[23:03] <Tomtiger11> I can take slaps in the face (if a banned user keeps on joining the twister server every 5 seconds, and then making a bot to kill him counts)
[23:04] <LinuxMonkey> Hotel Industry ya know we get our fair share of slaps. Plus I told my boss we should change to Ubuntu desktops to run our checkin software
[23:04] <LinuxMonkey> lol Tomtiger11
[23:04] <Tomtiger11> I told everyone that cpanel sucks since you need centos for it...
[23:16] <Unit193> Tomtiger11: You'll also need to register/identify with services/nickserv.
[23:16] <Tomtiger11> Oops!
[23:17] <Tomtiger11> There
[23:18] <Tomtiger11> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/tomtiger11
[23:18] <Tomtiger11> A bit better, i think!
[23:23] <LinuxMonkey> not bad Tomtiger11 :)
[23:24] <Tomtiger11> Thanks
[23:24] <LinuxMonkey> Tomtiger11: you in #ubuntu-offtopic ?
