| jbroome | could someone banforward elusivio from #ubuntu-br to ##fix_your_connection ? He's cycling and staff isn't on the access list | 05:35 |
|---|---|---|
| IdleOne | got it | 05:35 |
| jbroome | ty | 05:35 |
| jbroome | i've bounced him from about three or four channels already | 05:36 |

| lotuspsychje | hello, are there any rules for starting ubuntu channels? | 10:59 |
| lotuspsychje | like #ubuntu-something? | 10:59 |
| ikonia | depends on what it is | 11:11 |
| ikonia | what are you thinking of starting ? | 11:11 |
| lotuspsychje | #ubuntu-ssd | 11:11 |
| ikonia | ssd ? | 11:11 |
| ikonia | what's that | 11:11 |
| lotuspsychje | solid state drive | 11:11 |
| ikonia | you want a channel - to talk about ubuntu and solid state drives | 11:12 |
| ikonia | are you serious ? | 11:12 |
| lotuspsychje | yes | 11:12 |
| lotuspsychje | there are many users of interest of this | 11:12 |
| ikonia | that seems silly - it's about 4 lines of conversation and nothing that can't be dealt with in #ubuntu | 11:12 |
| ikonia | yes, and it will be covered just fine in #ubuntu | 11:12 |
| ikonia | I don't see a need for a specific channel | 11:12 |
| ikonia | unless I'm missing an area of discussion I'm not aware of | 11:13 |
| lotuspsychje | well im sure there will be more talking of ssd's then 4lines | 11:13 |
| lotuspsychje | ill make sure of that | 11:14 |
| ikonia | what topics do you plan to cover ? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | "how to use an ssd in ubuntu" | 11:14 |
| ikonia | well, that's covered in #ubuntu and is about 4 lines, "setup trim" | 11:14 |
| lotuspsychje | tweaking mostly | 11:14 |
| ikonia | that's covered just fine in #ubuntu | 11:14 |
| ikonia | there is pretty limited "sweaking" you can do beyond partition alignment, trim and mount options | 11:14 |
| ikonia | a whole channel for that seems just overkill, more so as it would be a welcome topic in #ubuntu | 11:15 |
| lotuspsychje | so what you are saying it that a user cant choose to make an own channel on freenode? | 11:16 |
| ikonia | no, that's not what I said | 11:16 |
| ikonia | I said it depends on the channel | 11:16 |
| ikonia | putting a channel in the ubuntu namespace requires following the ubuntu guidelines | 11:16 |
| ikonia | and I'm saying that your suggested channel is not a good idea in my view | 11:17 |
| ikonia | it has a very small topic that's covered just fine in #ubuntu | 11:17 |
| ikonia | so it would be adding another channel to the ubuntu name space for the sake of adding a channel | 11:17 |
| lotuspsychje | i think its a rather big topic | 11:17 |
| ikonia | lotuspsychje: what more is there beyond what I've suggested | 11:17 |
| lotuspsychje | you got an url on those guidelines? | 11:17 |
| ikonia | not to hand no | 11:18 |
| ikonia | and I'd strongly urge you to re-think pushing this | 11:18 |
| ikonia | as to be honest, it just seems a bad idea, unless you can suggest how the topic is wider than what I've said | 11:18 |
| lotuspsychje | #ubuntu can only be used in ssd support on ubuntu, not meant for talking about it and compare/benchmark | 11:19 |
| ikonia | you can compare | 11:19 |
| ikonia | that's part of support tuning, get more out of it | 11:19 |
| ikonia | if you just want to list benchmarks, start a wikipage, that would be better than an IRC channel | 11:20 |
| ikonia | then #ubuntu-discuss would be a good place to discuss them | 11:20 |
| ikonia | (or even #ubuntu-offtopic - it's a good topic) | 11:20 |
| ikonia | a wiki page listing benchmarks would certainly be benificial, more so if it's well maintained | 11:21 |
| lotuspsychje | well... | 11:21 |
| lotuspsychje | maybe ill just start a linux-ssd channel then | 11:21 |
| ikonia | go for it | 11:22 |
| ikonia | I don't think you'll get much taffic due to the standard linux distro channels picking this up, but if you feel there is hidden demand, go for it | 11:22 |
| lotuspsychje | it would have been an enrichment for ubuntu ssd users | 11:22 |
| ikonia | not really | 11:22 |
| ikonia | I don't believe so | 11:22 |
| lotuspsychje | in your opinion | 11:22 |
| ikonia | a resource of benchmarks that is maintained would provide more benifit | 11:22 |
| lotuspsychje | anyway ill rest my case | 11:23 |
| ikonia | ok | 11:23 |
| ubottu | FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1681 users, 0 overflows, 1681 limit)) | 12:05 |
| ubottu | FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1648 users, 0 overflows, 1648 limit)) | 12:05 |

| Pici | os/2?! | 14:12 |
| bazhang | <peyam> jebs, other wise do the debian uunstable! it runs with xfce 10 | 19:09 |
| bazhang | yeah, thats stellar advice | 19:10 |
| bazhang | seems to be an actual packge in the repos | 19:50 |
| bazhang | there is a -scripts package as well though | 19:51 |
| ikonia | I've only got a 10.04 box here and it's a shell script, but it maybe a binary package now, but I doubt it as it's normally a shell script in other distros too | 19:51 |
| bazhang | surprised me as well | 19:52 |
| ikonia | I suspect it's not a binary though | 19:52 |
| bazhang | Version 0.7.44ubuntu3 (saucy), package size 55 kB, installed size 220 kB | 19:53 |
| Go|dfish_ | what did i do | 20:07 |
