[05:35] could someone banforward elusivio from #ubuntu-br to ##fix_your_connection ? He's cycling and staff isn't on the access list [05:35] got it [05:35] ty [05:36] i've bounced him from about three or four channels already [05:37] ty [10:59] hello, are there any rules for starting ubuntu channels? [10:59] like #ubuntu-something? [11:11] depends on what it is [11:11] what are you thinking of starting ? [11:11] #ubuntu-ssd [11:11] ssd ? [11:11] what's that [11:11] solid state drive [11:12] you want a channel - to talk about ubuntu and solid state drives [11:12] are you serious ? [11:12] yes [11:12] there are many users of interest of this [11:12] that seems silly - it's about 4 lines of conversation and nothing that can't be dealt with in #ubuntu [11:12] yes, and it will be covered just fine in #ubuntu [11:12] I don't see a need for a specific channel [11:13] unless I'm missing an area of discussion I'm not aware of [11:13] well im sure there will be more talking of ssd's then 4lines [11:14] ill make sure of that [11:14] what topics do you plan to cover ? [11:14] "how to use an ssd in ubuntu" [11:14] well, that's covered in #ubuntu and is about 4 lines, "setup trim" [11:14] tweaking mostly [11:14] that's covered just fine in #ubuntu [11:14] there is pretty limited "sweaking" you can do beyond partition alignment, trim and mount options [11:15] a whole channel for that seems just overkill, more so as it would be a welcome topic in #ubuntu [11:16] so what you are saying it that a user cant choose to make an own channel on freenode? [11:16] no, that's not what I said [11:16] I said it depends on the channel [11:16] putting a channel in the ubuntu namespace requires following the ubuntu guidelines [11:17] and I'm saying that your suggested channel is not a good idea in my view [11:17] it has a very small topic that's covered just fine in #ubuntu [11:17] so it would be adding another channel to the ubuntu name space for the sake of adding a channel [11:17] i think its a rather big topic [11:17] lotuspsychje: what more is there beyond what I've suggested [11:17] you got an url on those guidelines? [11:18] not to hand no [11:18] and I'd strongly urge you to re-think pushing this [11:18] as to be honest, it just seems a bad idea, unless you can suggest how the topic is wider than what I've said [11:19] #ubuntu can only be used in ssd support on ubuntu, not meant for talking about it and compare/benchmark [11:19] you can compare [11:19] that's part of support tuning, get more out of it [11:20] if you just want to list benchmarks, start a wikipage, that would be better than an IRC channel [11:20] then #ubuntu-discuss would be a good place to discuss them [11:20] (or even #ubuntu-offtopic - it's a good topic) [11:21] a wiki page listing benchmarks would certainly be benificial, more so if it's well maintained [11:21] well... [11:21] maybe ill just start a linux-ssd channel then [11:22] go for it [11:22] 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] it would have been an enrichment for ubuntu ssd users [11:22] not really [11:22] I don't believe so [11:22] in your opinion [11:22] a resource of benchmarks that is maintained would provide more benifit [11:23] anyway ill rest my case [11:23] ok [12:05] FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1681 users, 0 overflows, 1681 limit)) [12:05] FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1648 users, 0 overflows, 1648 limit)) [12:05] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1682 users, 0 overflows, 1682 limit)) [14:12] os/2?! [19:09] jebs, other wise do the debian uunstable! it runs with xfce 10 [19:10] yeah, thats stellar advice [19:50] seems to be an actual packge in the repos [19:51] there is a -scripts package as well though [19:51] 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 [19:52] surprised me as well [19:52] I suspect it's not a binary though [19:53] Version 0.7.44ubuntu3 (saucy), package size 55 kB, installed size 220 kB [20:07] what did i do [20:08] *!*@c-24*hsd1.ma.comcast.net [20:51] hello Gatis
