[06:56] Fasted called the ops in #ubuntu-ops () [06:56] nooooooooooooooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [06:56] isn't it a bit boring [06:56] Myrtti, what [06:56] I've told you several times to get a better hobby [06:56] Myrtti, glad you answered =) [06:56] i actually have [06:56] i Am seeking Christ [06:56] seek him before God closes the door [06:57] great, go pursuit that then. [10:53] I wonder who hatearchives is then. [15:55] hi varunendra [15:55] hi ikonia_ [15:55] thanks for joining [15:55] want to explain the problem ? [15:56] the current user is urzg in #ubuntu. This one seems like a bot, starts with a common question - "where are u from".. [15:56] ok, so he's sending you this in pm ? [15:57] always presents himself as a us-bengali, wanting some info about education system in India. Yes in pm [15:58] but the info part is just an excuse, it just keeps stretching to possibly more intimate informations (which of course I'm smart enough to exclude) [15:58] when was this ? [15:58] at least the fourth time now, he is right now trying the same thing [15:58] he's doing it at this moment ? [15:58] always with a different username.. [15:58] yup [15:58] I'm talking to him at the moment [15:59] but since I asked in the channel, perhaps he's gone [15:59] k [15:59] can you hang on for a moment [16:00] because of the way he responds, it doesn't look like a bot, or a too smart one if it is [16:00] sure [16:00] just while I talk to him [16:02] ok - he's delt with [16:02] he tried to lie about it then admitted it [16:02] so definitely not a bot. Probably a phishing guy (or team?) [16:02] no, a person [16:03] all sorted, any more problems, just let me know [16:03] (or the team know) [16:04] sure. Thanks a lot :) [16:04] no problem, [18:07] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from xeeder) [20:24] in #kubuntu, someone just invoked !purge, and got: [20:24] !purge [20:24] To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, use the following command: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P [20:24] [13:09] [15:49:05] To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, use the following command: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P [20:24] this seems a bit techy for an ubottu factoid, if not destructive [20:24] imo [20:31] How about: To purge the configuration files along with the package, do the following command in a console: sudo apt-get --purge packagename [20:31] ? [20:32] apt-get purge packagename [20:32] or remove with --purge [20:32] but, that won't address the same issue the original one did (which was purging config files of already-removed packages) [20:32] true [20:33] How about: To purge the configuration files along with the package, do the following command in a console: sudo apt-get purge packagename | For packages that have already been removed run: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P [20:33] better? [20:34] covers both bases like that [20:34] Using a pipe to delimit your statements is confusing, when you then use it for bash :P [20:34] How about we change !purge to your proposed one, about what purging is, etc. [20:34] heh [20:34] and then make another one for the purge-of-already-removed-packages, with a See-also from !purge [20:35] Sounds good to me. But what do we name the second factoid? [20:35] But I'd elaborate and explain the difference between purge and remove [20:35] !remove [20:35] I don't have a good answer to that question [20:37] Maybe something like (I don't like this wording): "Removing a package normally leaves configuration files behind. Purging removes all of the files in a package (including configuration files)...." [20:37] We can make that !remove [20:37] and add See !purge [20:37] So, you're going to tell them how to purge when they say !remove? [20:38] lol I'm confused now [20:38] or we just do: To purge the configuration files along with the package, do the following command in a console: sudo apt-get purge packagename -- For packages that have already been removed run: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P
