[00:38] <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
[00:39] <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.
[00:40] <wintx> Fuchs: Would empathy (packed in ubuntu 12.10) do the job for me, fellow gent?
[00:41] <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.
[00:44] <nlux> Cannot join #ubuntu (You are banned).
[00:45] <nlux> ^Can any fellow gent give me a hand?
[00:47] <nlux> Fuchs: ^
[00:48] <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
[01:14] <nlux> Anyone?
[01:21] <elky> nlux, do you remember why you were banned?
[01:22] <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?
[01:23] <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?
[01:24] <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
[01:25] <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?
[01:26] <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?
[01:27] <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
[01:28] <elky> anyway, i need to run to do some boxing day shopping. ciao
[01:29] <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.
[01:30] <nlux> have fun elky
[01:31] <nlux> Meh. Can any one just tell me the ban length?
[01:38] <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..
[01:39] <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
[01:40] <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.
[01:41] <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?
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <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.
[01:44] <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
[01:45] <elky> be good ;)
[01:45] <IdleOne> nlux:  have a read of the following real quick please
[01:45] <IdleOne> !guidelines
[01:45] <nlux> pl
[01:45] <nlux> ok
[01:45] <nlux> thanks
[01:45] <IdleOne> I'll remove the ban in a moment
[01:46] <nlux> thanks for the guidelines. pretty helpful
[01:47] <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? :)
[01:48] <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 :)
[01:49] <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.
[01:50]  * nlux hugs Idle0ne
[01:50] <nlux> thanks
[02:48] <elky> lolol
[02:49] <elky> i love it when they ask if they can be ops _as_ they are getting bans lifted
