sarnoldhello; please consider +q or +b for plan_1 in #ubuntu-server. Thanks.06:55
bazhang(~one@adsl-108-209-155-138.dsl.stl2mo.sbcglobal.net): one06:58
bazhangsarnold, thanks for the report/tip06:58
sarnoldbazhang: hrm. one@... sounds familiar, I think I saw a kick message ~12 hours ago about evading bans.06:59
bazhangseems to be quiet at the moment; hopefully it will stop completely or we'll take action. Thanks again07:00
sarnoldthanks bazhang :D07:02
bazhangsarnold, he has quit for the moment; if there's nothing else could you please part the channel so as to keep it free for channel issues, etc.? thanks07:17

Picianyone around?12:46
k1l_yep12:46
PiciCan you look at what einyx is asking about? Am I confused?12:46
PiciOr rather, I am confused, it looks like they're just ranting.12:46
k1l_hmm. he talks about a bug. then claims to mount a external drive, the talks about a bug where he knows how to fix it. but that doesnt work or he doesnt want it.12:50
k1l_well, im confused too12:50
k1l_i think its a mix of asking for help, ranting that its not working and not native language12:53
IdleOnemaybe forward him to -it for help. seems he is Italian12:55
bazhang<DylanCl> The size of the file is over 2 GiB. Files larger than 2 GiB are not supported by the ISO9660 standard in its first and second versions (the most widespread ones).16:24
bazhangdeja vu all over again16:25
bazhangit's a windows.iso after all16:25
bazhangbf to #hurd16:49
Picilearning the linux16:50
k1lfor learning linux i would recommend linux from scratch :)16:51
bazhangwell, either he's going to cry "free speech" or "this is why new users don't like Linux"16:51
bazhangwow fbots really permissive16:54
bazhangit gets better yet.17:54
bazhangnot only a windows iso, but pirated!17:55
MyrttiI see Honvai is adding to the confusion.17:55
MyrttiNice.17:55
Tm_Tawww17:55
Tm_TMyrtti: but he's special (:17:56
MyrttiI'm kinda happy I just cut my finger with a knife so my typing is slow enough that I can blame being cripple for not answering him17:57
bazhangtgm4833 is not helping things17:58
bazhanghe refuses to move on17:59
bazhangperhaps time for him to move out, if not on18:00
tgm4883IdleOne, really?18:01
IdleOnethank you for joining18:01
IdleOneyes, really.18:01
tgm4883ok, then can we at least discuss this like adults?18:01
bazhangsure18:02
tgm4883ok then18:02
IdleOnetgm4883: Windows does not allow for sharing of iso's so the fact that he admits he got it from his friend makes it piracy.18:02
tgm4883IdleOne, agreed18:02
IdleOnegood. lets move on to supporting Ubuntu and drop this off topic discussion in #ubuntu18:02
tgm4883well now wait a minute18:02
tgm4883I did tell him to go get an evaluation copy  and to try that18:03
IdleOnetgm4883: you did, and that was helpful.18:03
IdleOneand that is the extent of the windows support we can tolerate in #ubuntu18:03
tgm4883IdleOne, so we can't assist in helping people burn ISOs?18:03
IdleOnenot illegal iso when the user has all but said "This is a pirated iso".18:04
tgm4883IdleOne, I'm not arguing that point18:04
IdleOnesuper.18:04
tgm4883IdleOne, I'm arguing that we should at least attempt to support burning a legal windows ISO in Ubuntu18:04
IdleOneWe can and sometimes do, but the instances of people asking about how to burn Windows ISO's are overwhelmingly about pirated iso's18:05
tgm4883IdleOne, ok, so we should then assume guilty until proven innocent?18:06
IdleOneSo, the user admitted to it. We told him our policies. End of story.18:06
tgm4883IdleOne, I'm just trying to figure out what the official policies are, even the bass ackwords ones18:06
IdleOneHow the truth was discovered is irrelevant, we now know that it is a pirated iso and we will not allow support for illegal activities.18:06
tgm4883IdleOne, I'm not asking for this particular instance. i'm asking for future reference18:07
tgm4883IdleOne, unless of course you want to repeat this with me every time this situation comes up :)18:07
IdleOneIn the future if you want to help them with something illegal, do it elsewhere (note I am not condoning this)18:08
* tgm4883 sighs18:08
tgm4883that isn't what I said18:08
tgm4883at least, that isn't what I thought I just said18:08
IdleOnewhen in doubt, come here and ask us. I'm not going to give you a blanket/cover all rule.18:09
tgm4883IdleOne, so in the future, if someone comes into #ubuntu looking for help burning a windows ISO, my understanding is that the first we need to ask is "Where did you get the ISO from?"18:09
IdleOneno, direct them to ##windows, surpringly they actually do a lot of linux support in there to get users back on windows.18:10
tgm4883IdleOne, ok, absolutely zero windows support in #ubuntu, even if the extent of that windows support is "burning a Windows ISO in ubuntu"18:11
IdleOne I'm not going to give you a blanket/cover all rule.18:11
jbroomeit has been a while since i've used ubuntu, but aren't all isos burned the same way?18:12
tgm4883IdleOne, I'm starting to understand why some people can't follow the non-existant rulebook18:12
tgm4883jbroome, one would think18:12
IdleOnejbroome: yes, but when a user admits to piracy Ubuntu has a rule of zero support.18:12
tgm4883IdleOne, Either you aren't understanding what I am trying to say, or you are purposefully ignoring me18:13
bazhangit's not nonexistent18:13
bazhangthe guidelines / coc / and bot factoids have a ton18:13
tgm4883IdleOne, zero tolarance rule on piracy in #ubuntu, I am not confused on that, nor am I arguing for that. I completely agree with that rule18:14
IdleOnetgm4883: I am not ignoring you. You want me to give you a catch all for any occurence of windows related questions. I won't do that.18:14
tgm4883IdleOne, my question is, if someone has a legal windows iso, and wants to burn it in ubuntu. Is the rule that we will not support that18:14
tgm4883IdleOne, what i'm asking for isn't a blanket rule, it's a single situation18:15
tgm4883IdleOne, i'd argue that we should support that scenario (and that is precisely what I was arguing in the channel)18:15
IdleOneif you can reasonable believe that the user is not pirating software, sure help them burn the iso.18:15
tgm4883IdleOne, thank you18:15
IdleOnebut you were arguing a hypothetical situation as the fact was already established that this user was pirating.18:16
IdleOneso, your arguing in the channel was off topic and distracting from the purpose of the channel.18:16
bazhangtgm4883, when asked to move on , one should move on.18:17
tgm4883IdleOne, I suppose so, I was more unhappy with ActionParsnip being unhelpful and nobody caring. I mean, I almost brought the wrath of ikonia down on my for something similar18:17
tgm4883me*18:17
IdleOneI'm going to remove the mute. actionparsnip was only applying our guidelines as best he understands them which in this case happened to be the same as any op would have.18:18
tgm4883IdleOne, I'll agree with that after he found out it was piracy, he did enforce the rules the best he could. I'll disagree with how he found out (which is a moot point)18:19
IdleOneIn case I was unclear earlier, if you suspect someone of pirating, don't send them to ##windows. They have very similar rules as Ubuntu does about it.18:20
tgm4883IdleOne, ah, you were unclear, that does clarify that point18:20
IdleOneanyway, please make sure to follow the !guidelines when in #ubuntu* channels.18:21
IdleOne!guidelines | in case you haven't read them yet18:21
ubottuin case you haven't read them yet: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines18:21
tgm4883IdleOne, yes, I'll try to stay on topic. I'll expect the same guidelines to be followed by everyone18:22
Myrttiit fits for any channel really18:22
Myrttiif someone is being an ass in #ubuntu, poking them with the offtopic factoid and pointing them to -offtopic is a bit useless18:22
IdleOnetgm4883: All users of ubuntu channels are expected to follow the same guidelines, as an ubuntu member you should already knows this18:22
tgm4883IdleOne, I do know this.18:23
Myrttiand non-Ubuntu channels usually by default aren't feeling too happy when the trolls tell people in #ubuntu-* told them to join their channel18:23
tgm4883Myrtti, I was more upset with the actions of another person in the channel, but my bringing it up in the channel was offtopic. I should have PM'd them instead18:23
bazhangand move on when asked to tgm488318:24
IdleOnetgm4883: it is polite to acknowledge when people speak to you.18:25
tgm4883bazhang, I already said I would follow the channel guidelines (which include staying on topic).18:26
bazhangtgm4883, you point blank refused to move on when I asked you to18:26
tgm4883IdleOne, yes it is, I had typed a longer response to bazhang, but edited it in order to follow channel guidelines18:26
tgm4883bazhang, yes I did18:27
bazhangtgm4883, that is not following the channel guidelines18:27
tgm4883bazhang, If you're looking for an appology for my previous infraction, I don't think it's coming. I have already said that I will try to follow the guidelines (which usually means, from now on, since I cannot timetravel)18:28
bazhangtgm4883, I am looking for reassurance in future cases that when asked to move on/stop/take it offtopic, that you will do so, irrespective of who is asking18:29
tgm4883bazhang, in the future, I will try to not be off topic. If i get off topic, and someone tells me to move on. I will do so18:31
IdleOneAlright, if we are done here please part this channel and have a good day.18:37
bazhang<Honvai> where i get info for artifical intellicense assintant18:41
bazhangAI?18:41
jbroomei don't think there's a ppa for AI18:43
bazhanghehe18:43
bazhangit became sentient and moved to universe18:44
Myrttielizabot isn't available anymore18:44
Myrttiapart from pulling it from perl18:44
jbroomeand how do you feel about that?18:44
Myrttiit makes me sad18:45
Tm_Twould libghc-markov-chain-dev be enogh?18:45
Tm_Tenough too18:45
tonyyarussoThere are some decent markov chain plugins for supybot too18:46
