[06:50] <MooDoo> hello all
[21:29] <elfy> hi - are there any ops in here can deal with an ubuntu cloak for PartisanEntity
[21:39] <Fuchs> elfy: you'd need both the IRCC and a staffer,
[21:40] <Fuchs> elfy: plus I think it tends to work better if the future cloakee is actually asking. They at least certainly need to be around-ish to confirm to the staffer
[21:40] <elfy> they are - just remembering how to IRC
[21:41] <Fuchs> ah :)
[21:44] <PartisanEntity> i asked on #freenode but it seems not one is around right now :)
[21:44] <Fuchs> oh, there is at least one staffer active,
[21:44] <elfy> that was for a different cloak PartisanEntity
[21:44] <Fuchs> but for the ubuntu cloak you'd also need someone from the IRCC
[21:45] <PartisanEntity> oh i see elfy, man im confused now :)
[21:45] <elfy> I don't really want to have to sort the access list for the forum channel out twice
[21:45] <elfy> PartisanEntity: :)
[21:45] <Fuchs> hm?  If you are doing access list entries based on cloaks, you are probably doing something wrong
[21:45] <Fuchs> unless you do mass ones, like  /ubuntu/member/*
[21:45] <elfy> yea - it's the forum mods channel
[21:46] <Fuchs> ah
[21:46] <elfy> we do it like that - don't ask me why :)
[21:46] <elfy> the ways of irc are arcane :p
[21:46] <PartisanEntity> ok its time for me to hit the sack, thanks again for your kind help elfy
[21:47] <elfy> PartisanEntity: ok - well I'm about tomorrow - but just come back here and ask again
[21:47] <Fuchs> anyway, just wait for an IRCC member, have your launchpad page (with the ubuntu membership) at hand, have them confirm it, have a staffer set it -> don
[21:47] <Fuchs> *done
[21:47] <PartisanEntity> ok thanks will do
[21:48] <Fuchs> (optionally make sure your client is configured to use http://freenode.net/sasl/ so you are authenticated on connect, especially helpful when that channel is an internal one where you can only join when identified)
[21:49] <PartisanEntity> im using empathy, does it do that ?
[21:49] <Fuchs> not entirely sure, as I am not very fond of IM clients for IRC. If it doesn't, there is an alternative which works in most cases, that is setting    youraccountname:yourpassword   (including the colon) as the server password
[21:49]  * elfy looked at sasl in hexchat - seems I need to use it on primary nick and this isn't the primary nicjs
[21:50] <PartisanEntity> thanks Fuchs, ill look into this all a little more
[21:50] <Fuchs> elfy: technically you don't have to be _on_ the primary nick, but you need to specify the primary nick. Some clients don't allow you to do that (which is silly)
[21:50] <Fuchs> as far as I am informed, hexchat uses the "username"  (which is also your ident, but that doesn't matter anyway), so you can just set the primary nick there.
[21:51] <elfy> yea - I just get fail to connect - and couldn't be bothered to look deeper - manana :)
[21:51] <Fuchs> as I wrote: optional. In some cases you definitely want it, but it's not needed, just recommended :)
[21:52] <elfy> Fuchs: then it wants to use that nick - which is sitting in an irssi instance for me - I complicate matters :p
[21:54] <elfy> anyway - partisan has gone and will be fine I am sure - I'll leave here now
[21:54] <elfy> nice to speak Fuchs :)
[21:54] <Fuchs> :)  Have a nice day
[21:55] <elfy> :)
[21:59] <hggdh> oh, I missed them
[22:00] <IdleOne> no patience
[22:00] <hggdh> anyway, partisanEntity did not provide us with the LP link...
[22:01]  * hggdh goes back to work
