| wintx | I seem to encounter some sort of problems while trying to talk in #ubuntu, could anyone help me out into figuring what could cause the specified problem? | 00:38 |
|---|---|---|
| wintx | The error code is obviously, == Cannot send to channel: #ubuntu, thanks in advance, gentlemen. | 00:38 |
| Fuchs | wintx: you using webchat and changing your nick, I'd assume. By either using a real client instead, or rejoining from webchat should help | 00:38 |
| wintx | I tried to rejoin, yet I seem to encounter the same problem each time I /part and /join | 00:39 |
| Fuchs | how webchat is handled is a bit special, I'll leave this case to actual ops then (I am just network staff), as said, using an actual client definitely would help. | 00:39 |
| wintx | Fuchs: Would empathy (packed in ubuntu 12.10) do the job for me, fellow gent? | 00:40 |
| Fuchs | wintx: would. It's not what I would recommend, based on my experience IM clients are horrible for IRC. I'd personally recommend something like hexchat/xchat which also comes packaged for ubuntu, but whatever suits you best | 00:41 |
| wintx | Fuchs: Loads of thanks. | 00:41 |
| nlux | Cannot join #ubuntu (You are banned). | 00:44 |
| nlux | ^Can any fellow gent give me a hand? | 00:45 |
| nlux | Fuchs: ^ | 00:47 |
| Fuchs | there is a ban matching your host, set by floodbot | 00:48 |
| Fuchs | as I am not an ubuntu operator, I am afraid you have to wait until one of them is around, I wont override their bans, sorry | 00:48 |
| nlux | Of course, cause of name change. | 00:48 |
| nlux | Thanks Fuchs :) | 00:48 |
| Fuchs | You're welcome | 00:48 |
| ubottu | TheLordOfTime called the ops in #ubuntu (watchtower's flooding) | 01:01 |
| nlux | Anyone? | 01:14 |
| elky | nlux, do you remember why you were banned? | 01:21 |
| nlux | elky frequently changing my name | 01:22 |
| elky | no | 01:22 |
| nlux | no? | 01:22 |
| elky | you put plenty of effort into trolling, so you should remember it. | 01:22 |
| nlux | trolling? is this a joke? | 01:22 |
| elky | why did you think it was the nick changing? what nicks did you use? | 01:22 |
| nlux | you think I don't have better things to do? | 01:22 |
| nlux | like setting up my rig? | 01:22 |
| nlux | 4 nicks.. first was registered | 01:23 |
| nlux | so I had to change it | 01:23 |
| nlux | it didn't show up so, I changed it again | 01:23 |
| elky | what were the actual nicks? | 01:23 |
| nlux | they were plainly random | 01:24 |
| nlux | related to the word lux. | 01:24 |
| elky | 2012-12-25T21:48:19 *** truefaith (5c534e5a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.92.83.78.90) has joined #ubuntu | 01:24 |
| nlux | seems like that's me. | 01:25 |
| nlux | 5c534e5a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.92.83.78.90 | 01:25 |
| elky | looks identical, including the hash bit at the front | 01:25 |
| nlux | but anyways what's the point? | 01:25 |
| elky | 2012-12-25T21:53:51 <truefaith> NoorideeNA: erase disk | 01:26 |
| elky | 2012-12-25T21:57:43 <truefaith> I still use 4.04 | 01:26 |
| elky | 2012-12-25T22:04:50 <truefaith> NoorideeNA, of course, Ubuntu is Windows branch. | 01:26 |
| elky | 2012-12-25T22:06:07 <truefaith> ubottu: can you make me a sandwich? | 01:26 |
| elky | and so forth | 01:27 |
| nlux | I can't see the trolling part, kind sir. | 01:27 |
| nlux | And I really wrote those? | 01:27 |
| nlux | let me check the log | 01:27 |
| elky | if you can't see the trolling in those, then you're certainly not going back in, since you'll just continue | 01:27 |
| elky | anyway, i need to run to do some boxing day shopping. ciao | 01:28 |
| elky | someone else can pick up, after you've had some time to contemplate | 01:29 |
| nlux | if i am trying to install ubuntu in a Vbox what installation type shall i use, erase disk and install ubuntu or something else? | 01:29 |
| nlux | erase disk | 01:29 |
| nlux | can't see the trolling. | 01:29 |
| nlux | have fun elky | 01:30 |
| nlux | Meh. Can any one just tell me the ban length? | 01:31 |
| IdleOne | bans don't have a predetermined time limit | 01:38 |
| * nlux sighs. | 01:38 | |
| nlux | My IP is going to reset.. so it is kinda tough | 01:38 |
| nlux | I don't want to break the rules.. | 01:38 |
| IdleOne | I agree with elky that if you can't see the trolling in what you said in those lines elky pasted, then I don't see you being unbanned | 01:39 |
| nlux | I apologize for my actions, yet I really don't see the trolling part. | 01:39 |
| elky | nlux, there were 4 lines, not the one you're digging your heels in about | 01:39 |
| nlux | The fact that it's childish, yes I admit that | 01:40 |
| nlux | but trolling, I can't seem to be able to identify this. | 01:40 |
| elky | trolling is fairly broad, and we consider intentionally being annoying as trolling | 01:41 |
| elky | asking the bot for a sandwich after being told to stop trolling and agreeing to stop trolling, is trolling. | 01:41 |
| nlux | I didn't mean to be trolling, I didn't even knew trolling was against the rules. I don't even know what trolling implies, is it lying for personal amusement? | 01:41 |
| elky | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29 | 01:42 |
| nlux | Because I don't consider this funny. | 01:42 |
| elky | In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community | 01:42 |
| elky | calling ubuntu a windows branch is inflammatory | 01:43 |
| nlux | I didn't really... | 01:43 |
| elky | declaring one's use of warty is rather inflammatory, but mostly extraneous. | 01:43 |
| elky | asking the bot for a sandwich is plainly offtopic for a tech support channel | 01:44 |
| nlux | Okay, I'm sorry. I'll try expressing my self in a less troll way from now onward | 01:44 |
| nlux | I was curious... | 01:44 |
| elky | IdleOne, ok, i really am heading off, can you pick this up? | 01:44 |
| IdleOne | sure | 01:44 |
| nlux | and yes I know I should have had queried ubottu | 01:44 |
| nlux | have fun elky | 01:44 |
| elky | be good ;) | 01:45 |
| IdleOne | nlux: have a read of the following real quick please | 01:45 |
| IdleOne | !guidelines | 01:45 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 01:45 |
| nlux | pl | 01:45 |
| nlux | ok | 01:45 |
| nlux | thanks | 01:45 |
| IdleOne | I'll remove the ban in a moment | 01:45 |
| nlux | thanks for the guidelines. pretty helpful | 01:46 |
| IdleOne | nlux: Just a FYI there is alos #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to join and chit chat (same guidelines) | 01:47 |
| IdleOne | also* | 01:47 |
| nlux | This was a pretty bad start in here, can I still try to be a nice guy, and perhaps one day become a master of the universe? :) | 01:47 |
| IdleOne | perhaps one day if you master all the potions and spells | 01:48 |
| nlux | That really wasn't a trolling attempt... | 01:48 |
| IdleOne | the ban in #ubuntu has been removed.you will need to part and rejoin to be able to speak I believe | 01:48 |
| IdleOne | I know :) | 01:48 |
| nlux | Am I still able to apply for an irc channel operator after a few months of being a good citizen? | 01:49 |
| IdleOne | if/when there is a call for ops, sure. | 01:49 |
| * nlux hugs Idle0ne | 01:50 | |
| nlux | thanks | 01:50 |
| elky | lolol | 02:48 |
| elky | i love it when they ask if they can be ops _as_ they are getting bans lifted | 02:49 |
