[00:38] 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] The error code is obviously, == Cannot send to channel: #ubuntu, thanks in advance, gentlemen. [00:38] wintx: you using webchat and changing your nick, I'd assume. By either using a real client instead, or rejoining from webchat should help [00:39] I tried to rejoin, yet I seem to encounter the same problem each time I /part and /join [00:39] 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. [00:40] Fuchs: Would empathy (packed in ubuntu 12.10) do the job for me, fellow gent? [00:41] 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] Fuchs: Loads of thanks. [00:44] Cannot join #ubuntu (You are banned). [00:45] ^Can any fellow gent give me a hand? [00:47] Fuchs: ^ [00:48] there is a ban matching your host, set by floodbot [00:48] 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] Of course, cause of name change. [00:48] Thanks Fuchs :) [00:48] You're welcome [01:01] TheLordOfTime called the ops in #ubuntu (watchtower's flooding) [01:14] Anyone? [01:21] nlux, do you remember why you were banned? [01:22] elky frequently changing my name [01:22] no [01:22] no? [01:22] you put plenty of effort into trolling, so you should remember it. [01:22] trolling? is this a joke? [01:22] why did you think it was the nick changing? what nicks did you use? [01:22] you think I don't have better things to do? [01:22] like setting up my rig? [01:23] 4 nicks.. first was registered [01:23] so I had to change it [01:23] it didn't show up so, I changed it again [01:23] what were the actual nicks? [01:24] they were plainly random [01:24] related to the word lux. [01:24] 2012-12-25T21:48:19 *** truefaith (5c534e5a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.92.83.78.90) has joined #ubuntu [01:25] seems like that's me. [01:25] 5c534e5a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.92.83.78.90 [01:25] looks identical, including the hash bit at the front [01:25] but anyways what's the point? [01:26] 2012-12-25T21:53:51 NoorideeNA: erase disk [01:26] 2012-12-25T21:57:43 I still use 4.04 [01:26] 2012-12-25T22:04:50 NoorideeNA, of course, Ubuntu is Windows branch. [01:26] 2012-12-25T22:06:07 ubottu: can you make me a sandwich? [01:27] and so forth [01:27] I can't see the trolling part, kind sir. [01:27] And I really wrote those? [01:27] let me check the log [01:27] if you can't see the trolling in those, then you're certainly not going back in, since you'll just continue [01:28] anyway, i need to run to do some boxing day shopping. ciao [01:29] someone else can pick up, after you've had some time to contemplate [01:29] 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] erase disk [01:29] can't see the trolling. [01:30] have fun elky [01:31] Meh. Can any one just tell me the ban length? [01:38] bans don't have a predetermined time limit [01:38] * nlux sighs. [01:38] My IP is going to reset.. so it is kinda tough [01:38] I don't want to break the rules.. [01:39] 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] I apologize for my actions, yet I really don't see the trolling part. [01:39] nlux, there were 4 lines, not the one you're digging your heels in about [01:40] The fact that it's childish, yes I admit that [01:40] but trolling, I can't seem to be able to identify this. [01:41] trolling is fairly broad, and we consider intentionally being annoying as trolling [01:41] asking the bot for a sandwich after being told to stop trolling and agreeing to stop trolling, is trolling. [01:41] 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? [01:42] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29 [01:42] Because I don't consider this funny. [01:42] In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community [01:43] calling ubuntu a windows branch is inflammatory [01:43] I didn't really... [01:43] declaring one's use of warty is rather inflammatory, but mostly extraneous. [01:44] asking the bot for a sandwich is plainly offtopic for a tech support channel [01:44] Okay, I'm sorry. I'll try expressing my self in a less troll way from now onward [01:44] I was curious... [01:44] IdleOne, ok, i really am heading off, can you pick this up? [01:44] sure [01:44] and yes I know I should have had queried ubottu [01:44] have fun elky [01:45] be good ;) [01:45] nlux: have a read of the following real quick please [01:45] !guidelines [01:45] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [01:45] pl [01:45] ok [01:45] thanks [01:45] I'll remove the ban in a moment [01:46] thanks for the guidelines. pretty helpful [01:47] nlux: Just a FYI there is alos #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to join and chit chat (same guidelines) [01:47] also* [01:47] 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? :) [01:48] perhaps one day if you master all the potions and spells [01:48] That really wasn't a trolling attempt... [01:48] the ban in #ubuntu has been removed.you will need to part and rejoin to be able to speak I believe [01:48] I know :) [01:49] Am I still able to apply for an irc channel operator after a few months of being a good citizen? [01:49] if/when there is a call for ops, sure. [01:50] * nlux hugs Idle0ne [01:50] thanks [02:48] lolol [02:49] i love it when they ask if they can be ops _as_ they are getting bans lifted [05:41] !printing ~= s#https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows#https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu# [05:41] I'll remember that Flannel [16:42] I'm rusty :( [16:43] heh [16:43] In #ubuntu, TheLordOfTime said: !keyfix is gpgerr [19:39] The !font factoid appears to be out of date, there no longer is a "msttcorefonts" package [19:39] !font is Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?
