[17:56] <TheLordOfTime> i think we could possibly rearrange the "noroot" factoid slightly, i see more people asking for help with setting root than giving advice, which suggests the two parts fo the factoid could be reversed for that purpose (about asking comes before about giving help, in my suggestion)
[17:56] <TheLordOfTime> !noroot
[17:56] <ubottu> We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information.
[17:57] <TheLordOfTime> i.e. "... please don't ask for help with setting a root password or provide instructions on how to set it. ..."
[17:57] <TheLordOfTime> (that area being the only change.
[17:57] <TheLordOfTime> )
[17:59] <IdleOne> if anything I think it should be shortened to We do not support setting a root password.
[18:00] <IdleOne> most people have a hard time parsing more than 10 words
[18:01] <k1l> capslock and red blinking should help too
[18:01] <TheLordOfTime> heh
[18:01] <TheLordOfTime> shrinking to "We do not support setting a root password." would probably get the same effect either way.
[18:01] <TheLordOfTime> perhaps sayign "we do not support setting a root password within the support channels."
[18:02] <IdleOne> That could be read as, send me a PM and I'll help you bork your system
[18:04] <TheLordOfTime> true.
[18:05] <TheLordOfTime> in any case, it could either be shortened or reworded.
[18:05] <IdleOne> Simple fact IMHO is that people think root == admin, sudo == not as much of an admin.
[18:06] <IdleOne> So, instead we should explain to them that sudo is just as much root as root is
[18:06] <TheLordOfTime> mhm.
[18:06] <TheLordOfTime> tbh "admin" is "admin" either way, so...
[18:07] <TheLordOfTime> you know, i'm surprised we don't have a factoid that truly explains that, called "admin"
[18:07] <TheLordOfTime> but we might have some other factoid i'm not aware of :P
[18:30] <xnox> where are ubuntu-meeting schedules?
[18:30] <xnox> to check if it's available or not.
