[03:53] <Bucky_Ball> Hi all. I'm just working this out. I received an unaffiliated cloak yesterday. I am a Ubuntu staff member and would like to swap that to a Ubuntu group cloak, please, so I can access the #ubuntuforums-mods channel at will. :) My launchpad account is https://launchpad.net/~buckyball. Thanks for your time.
[07:21] <Mikaela> it looks like we are running the latest Limnoria
[07:31] <MooDoo> howdy all
[09:10] <sudodus> Hi, I'm an Ubuntu member and a moderator of the Ubuntu Forums. We intend to use #ubuntuforums-mods, and I need a cloak to be able to access it without an invitation each time. I'm a beginner so bear with me, I'll probably ask stupid questions and do the wrong things until I'm getting used to the way of communication
[09:12] <sudodus> Please help me. My Launchpad account is https://launchpad.net/~nio-wiklund, sudodus (nio-wiklund)
[10:09] <Unit193> NickServ(NickServ@services.): sudodus has NOT COMPLETED registration verification
[10:09] <Unit193> sudodus: Please check your email.
[12:35] <sudodus> quit
[13:01] <Bucky_Ball> You might want to look here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=trim+ubuntu+15.04 Tons of info about it. :)
[13:02] <Bucky_Ball> Oops. Wrong channel. :)

[16:02] <sudodus> help with cloak: Hi, I'm an Ubuntu member and a moderator of the Ubuntu Forums.

[16:08] <Fuchs> sudodus: you need to identify to your account, then wait for someone of the IRCC
[16:08] <Fuchs> sudodus: see  /msg nickserv help identify for now,  for the future I recommend that you set up http://freenode.net/sasl/
[16:08] <Fuchs> else any kind of auto-join baesd on the cloak or you being identified will not work.
[16:08] <Fuchs> rest looks good. Read the link while waiting for a IRC Council member
[16:11] <sudodus> I think I have already identified and registered an account according to https://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[16:11] <Fuchs> no you don't
[16:11] <Fuchs> you have registered an account, you are not identified to it
[16:11] <sudodus> I see. How can I identify it?
[16:11] <Fuchs> so for now you want to identify with the help given by the command above, and to automate that in the future you want to set up SASL as per the instructions of the link I gave you
[16:11] <Fuchs> [18:08:20] <Fuchs> sudodus: see  /msg nickserv help identify for now,
[16:12] <Fuchs> this has to be done every time unless you do, as I _really_ recommend, set up http://freenode.net/sasl/  (and for the unlikely case of your client not supporting SASL: get a decent client instead :p)
[16:13] <sudodus> I use xchat
[16:17] <sudodus> would it be better to use pidgin ?
[16:24] <Fuchs> noooo :(
[16:24] <Fuchs> someone please tell him when he's back that pidgin is a complete and utter pile of bull excrement when it comes to IRC
[16:24] <Fuchs> he shall use hexchat if he likes xchat
[16:25] <Fuchs> sudodus: rehi. Please do _not_ use pidgin for IRC. It's terrible.
[16:26] <Fuchs> sudodus: xchat is fine, hexchat would be better  (it's an xchat fork, it looks and behaves the same, it just, compared to xchat, can do SASL out of the box and, more important, is still maintained)
[16:27] <Fuchs> Nio: as I assume you didn't get the last line in time: " xchat is fine, hexchat would be better  (it's an xchat fork, it looks and behaves the same, it just, compared to xchat, can do SASL out of the box and, more important, is still maintained) "   (plus: IRC requires patience, please wait for replies, they are not always instant)
[16:28] <Nio> I'm back in xchat, because I could not connect with pidgin - I can try to install hexchat and return
[16:28] <Nio> ... and thanks for your patience :-)
[16:37] <Nio> Hi again, trying with hexchat, but gets my second choice, Nio, instead of sudodus. I thought I quit, but obviously not. How can I release 'sudodus' so that it can be used via hexchat?
[16:53] <Fuchs> Nio: /msg nickserv help release
[16:55] <Nio> Done, should I /quit and try logging in again, or can I continue with user ID Nio?
