=== JanC_ is now known as JanC === Zic__ is now known as Zic [15:38] where do I write a compaint too about abuse of power ? [15:38] 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] process [15:55] ubuntu/member getting banned :/ [15:56] there is something not right going on [16:11] what? [16:11] IdleOne: what? [16:12] Pici: bobweaver has been banned from #ubuntu and -+1 because he doesn't understand how to follow simple rules [16:12] IdleOne: ah. [16:12] like not asking for +1 support in #ubuntu, not telling people to "google it" [16:13] this behaviour coming from an ubuntu/member is disappointing === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat [16:22] I acuually did a whois; thought some one was impersonating him.. [16:24] But, he had 'is member cloak on so I assume that it was really him. [16:24] IdleOne: when you say +1 support, people are asking for quantal?? [16:24] AlanBell: yes [16:24] gosh [16:24] I NEED IT NOW [16:25] make it work [16:25] oh, that too [16:25] * AlanBell is still having fun with precise [16:25] i upgraded to quantal and nothing is working! [16:25] haha [16:27] * AlanBell has wayland kinda workingish in precise [16:29] * popey wonders why you'd do that === Guest48187 is now known as issyl0 [20:56] we are doing a call for ops across the channels: http://ubottu.com/ircc/2012/05/04/call-for-irc-operators/ [20:57] AlanBell: which time periods are you guys specifically looking for ops to be around during in the core channels? [20:58] midnight to morning UTC [20:58] as it says in the article :) [20:58] * EvilResistance converts 00:00 - 08:00 UTC to UTC-4 and UTC-5 [20:58] you mean the article that bugs out halfway down? [20:58] * EvilResistance blames firefox [20:58] AlanBell: would it be very tedious to switch backgound/foreground colors? [20:58] works for me [20:59] guntbert: well most people will read it on planet ubuntu which is the other way round [20:59] I was kind of looking for a green on black consoly geeky theme for it [20:59] with a bit of an IRC/irssi feel to it [21:00] and a fluid layout that behaves itself with ctrl+mousewheel to zoom the text [21:02] 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] guntbert: some like it light on dark, some dark on light https://lists.launchpad.net/unity-design/msg09290.html [21:04] 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] plus I emailed it to the IRC discussion mailing list [21:04] AlanBell: of course - don't take me too serious - but its nice to have it both ways [21:04] My email is light/mid on dark. (Alpine) [21:48] Hi all, how's it going? [21:52] 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] 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] ok thank you verymuch IdleOne I have lots to read [21:59] indeed [22:00] IdleOne: How does one do a Wiki page as a requirement for an irc operator in a core channel? [22:01] 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] Tomtiger11: basically you go to wiki.ubuntu.com/~tomtiger11 and start typing, feel free to copy and then edit someone elses page [22:02] the wiki will tell you the page doesn't exist and ask if you want to create it [22:02] Ok, so its the things ive done to help the community? [22:02] correct [22:02] read the links that are listed at http://ubottu.com/ircc/2012/05/04/call-for-irc-operators/ [22:03] also [22:03] !canibeanop [22:03] If you are interested in joining the Ops team, take a look at both http://www.siltala.net/2010/03/24/ops-teams-applications-announcement/ and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorRequirements for info on the process and requirements. You can also learn about what the job entails from people in #ubuntu-irc. [22:03] gotta run... [22:04] Ok [22:04] 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] Meh, worth a try [22:06] Id have a bit of trouble with testimonials [22:11] IdleOne: Tomtiger11: without the ~ [22:14] Right [22:33] Tomtiger11: quality not quantity is what really matters :) [22:35] :) [22:47] Thanks again for all the hemlp IdleOne :) i've since applied [22:47] help* [22:47] welcome and good luck [22:48] 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] 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] IdleOne: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/tomtiger11 [22:58] 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] 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] earlier I said quality, not quantity, but it does take some :) [23:01] lol [23:01] So putting a link on my fathers website to ubuntu, things like that? [23:01] Tomtiger11: you know what, my suggestions are more for Ubuntu membership. [23:01] Or my own website (if i can be bothered to code it sgain) [23:01] but every little bit helps yeah [23:02] Ok, thanks for the tip :) [23:02] 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] as you can see from my slanted smiley :P [23:03] lol well IdleOne slap me now :) I can take it, I take it all day at work, .lol [23:03] 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] 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] lol Tomtiger11 [23:04] I told everyone that cpanel sucks since you need centos for it... [23:16] Tomtiger11: You'll also need to register/identify with services/nickserv. [23:16] Oops! [23:17] There [23:18] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/tomtiger11 [23:18] A bit better, i think! [23:23] not bad Tomtiger11 :) [23:24] Thanks [23:24] Tomtiger11: you in #ubuntu-offtopic ? === Unit193 is now known as TheMaster
