[01:55] <EarendilTheMarin> I cannot connect to your server with my Quassel IRC using my Linux PC
[01:55] <EarendilTheMarin> It says my account is banned, which is really strange
[01:56] <EarendilTheMarin> It said banned for offtopic conversation
[01:56] <LjL> uh
[01:56] <LjL> you don't usually get a reason for a ban
[01:56] <LjL> i mean, not for the client anyway
[01:56] <LjL> but let me look
[01:57] <EarendilTheMarin> But that happened months ago, and the ban was lifted months ago
[01:57] <LjL> @btlogin
[01:57] <EarendilTheMarin> that was my account under a different name
[01:57] <Unit193> LjL: ...k-line?
[01:57] <LjL> oh, that sort of ban
[01:57] <EarendilTheMarin> My username was "Lars"
[01:57] <LjL> oooh
[01:57] <EarendilTheMarin> I mistakenly talked about food in the wrong room
[01:57] <EarendilTheMarin> that's why I got banned
[01:58] <Corey> Uh, we don't set klines for off topic chatter.
[01:58] <EarendilTheMarin> No, sorry, that is wrong, that was my chess account
[01:58] <IdleOne> are you having problems connecting to freenode or joining a channel?
[01:59] <EarendilTheMarin> Yes
[01:59] <EarendilTheMarin> I cannot connect to your server
[01:59] <Corey> EarendilTheMarin: Which server would that be?
[01:59] <EarendilTheMarin> this server
[01:59] <Corey> You're already on irc.freenode.net, we're not responsible for much more than that. :)
[02:00] <EarendilTheMarin> I cannot connect to this server using my Quassel IRC for Kubuntu 12.04
[02:00] <EarendilTheMarin> It says my user account is banned for Offtopic conversation, which makes no sense at all
[02:01] <IdleOne> for which channel?
[02:01] <Corey> EarendilTheMarin: Which user account?
[02:01] <EarendilTheMarin> My user account is "lars"
[02:01] <LjL> but you're connected from that, if that's yours
[02:01] <Corey> EarendilTheMarin: Not here it isn't; lars is a registered user, and is online now.
[02:01] <EarendilTheMarin> No, I'm not online
[02:02] <Corey> EarendilTheMarin: Then lars is not your account on freenode.
[02:02] <EarendilTheMarin> Earendil is online now
[02:02] <EarendilTheMarin> lars is not online now, that's what doesn't make sense
[02:02] <LjL> except lars replies to PINGs
[02:02] <LjL> so i'd call them online
[02:02] <Corey> And that account has been registered for 13 years, so I'd call it "not yours." :-)
[02:02] <EarendilTheMarin> it told me that I'm banned for offtopic and I cannot connect, and lars is already online
[02:03] <EarendilTheMarin> I am lars, and I have been only online for aabout  a year
[02:03] <LjL> EarendilTheMarin: please type /msg nickserv info lars
[02:03] <LjL> you will see that account is registered by someone else on freenode
[02:04] <EarendilTheMarin> Aha, that's what I suspected
[02:04] <EarendilTheMarin> but the strange thing is that I was using that account for months now: lars
[02:04] <Corey> Pretty sure you weren't. :-)
[02:04] <EarendilTheMarin> Only recently could I not connect
[02:05] <LjL> maybe you were using the nickname
[02:05] <LjL> but not the account
[02:05] <LjL> if the "real" lars wasn't online, and their account wasn't protected, then other people (such as you) could use their nickname
[02:05] <EarendilTheMarin> I was using that user name since the summer: lars
[02:05] <LjL> but now that they're online, they've got it
[02:05] <Corey> EarendilTheMarin: In any case, this isn't a #ubuntu issue from what I can tell... You might have better luck in #freenode.
[02:06] <EarendilTheMarin> I don't mind changing my user name, I did it already, but the problem is IRC Quassel won't let me change my user name
[02:06] <LjL> well i don't use Quassel, but i'm pretty sure it has a way
[02:06] <LjL> try just typing /nick SomethingElse   while connecting
[02:06] <EarendilTheMarin> Yes, they told me to come here to do that
[02:07] <LjL> they who
[02:07] <EarendilTheMarin> I tried that already, it won't let me even get onto the server
[02:07] <EarendilTheMarin> Ubuntu told me to come here
[02:08] <IdleOne> the people in #ubuntu were not aware of the facts. the proper channel would be #freenode
[02:08] <LjL> well that's because they thought it was a ban issue, but it appears to possibly be a simple issue of nickname collision
[02:08] <EarendilTheMarin> I agree
[02:09] <EarendilTheMarin> Ok, I'll try freenode
[02:09] <IdleOne> Alright, good luck.
[02:11] <IdleOne> EarendilTheMarin: if you would kindly part this channel, that would be great.
[13:06] <LjL> #ubuntu troll
[13:37] <h00k> LjL: EricSpensor?
[13:38] <LjL> h00k: yeah but it was a different nickname a bit earlier in -ot, saying the same nonsense
[13:41] <h00k> my script went a little silly
[13:56] <h00k> LjL: apparently looking for assistance in killing somebody :[
[13:57] <LjL> cool
[18:05] <k1l_> @mark #ubuntu Lucid_Lynx banned in german channels now warned for advertising #Unix-Freaks in #ubuntu
[19:09] <DJones> seelaman: Is there something that the ubuntu-ops channel can help you with?
[19:15] <DJones> I guess not
[22:31] <LjL> [23:31:50] [Whois] fartface is ~henry@207.102.71.77 (Henry McDickbutt)
[22:36] <IdleOne> ban it before it starts to smell
[22:37] <LjL> too late, as i always tell my dad, the only trick is to hit the A/C's air intake button *real quick*
[22:38] <knome> i guess the only trick is to hit it before the fart
[22:40] <IdleOne> if nobody hears it...
[22:40] <IdleOne> that doesn't apply :/
[22:43] <knome> nope
[22:43] <knome> the silent killers are the worst
[22:43] <knome> they sometimes even surprise yourself
[22:50] <k1l_> do we have a serbian or bosnian channel?
[22:50] <IdleOne> !serbia
[22:50] <IdleOne> !bosnia
[22:50] <IdleOne> nope
[22:51] <LjL> !rs
[22:52] <LjL> dunno about Bosnian
[22:52] <LjL> but it's the same language anyway
[22:52]  * LjL ducks
[22:52] <LjL> !hr
[22:52] <LjL> and by "ducks", i mean "says true but politically taboo things"
