[00:28] <PriceChild> sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[00:29] <flip2405> wtf you talking about
[00:29] <PriceChild> flip2405: have I been addressing you?
[00:29] <PriceChild> There's also no need for the language, regardless.
[00:29] <flip2405> any one know of a program to do a screen record
[00:29] <flip2405> what language
[00:29] <PriceChild> flip2405: this isnot a support channel
[00:30] <PriceChild> flip2405: 'wtf'
[00:30] <flip2405> well
[00:30] <PriceChild> flip2405: are we talking about a ban in #ubuntu?
[00:30] <flip2405> its been a month
[00:30] <flip2405> im still banned
[00:30] <PriceChild> Because if so, its been a week.
[00:30] <flip2405> in channel #ubuntu
[00:30] <flip2405> regardless
[00:30] <flip2405> they said they would lift it in 48 hrs
[00:30] <PriceChild> Or is there another ban in another channel that was a month ago?
[00:30]  * PriceChild has a look at logs
[00:31] <Pici> flip2405: with that nick?
[00:31] <flip2405> yess
[00:36] <flip2405> blah blah
[00:37] <Seeker`> flip2405: You should be patient, he'll get back to you
[00:38] <flip2405> oh
[00:38] <flip2405> no
[00:38] <flip2405> i was testing a screen record program
[00:38] <Seeker`> this probably isn't the place for that :)
[00:38] <flip2405> I didnt mean to
[00:39] <flip2405> btw bantracker fail you wont find it with bantracker pricechild
[00:39] <Pici> Why is that?
[00:40] <flip2405> they couldnt find it on there last time
[00:40] <Seeker`> flip2405: I remember the conversation with you in here about  a week ago
[00:40] <flip2405> Yes
[00:40] <Seeker`> when was "last time"
[00:40] <flip2405> im still banned
[00:40] <flip2405> a week ago
[00:41] <Pici> From my logs: #ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/f514be066  #ubuntu-ops: http://pastebin.com/f7850472e
[00:41] <Seeker`> A week ago you were here because Jack_Sparrow had just banned you
[00:42] <flip2405> Yes
[00:42] <flip2405> n its been a week
[00:42] <flip2405> one of you said 48 hours
[00:42] <Seeker`> So what is this about "a month ago"?
[00:43] <flip2405> I was exadurating
=== elkbuntu is now known as elky
[00:45] <Pici> heres my ops log for when he was ban evading, gotta go: http://pastebin.com/f36bd0825
[00:47] <flip2405> Yes and i quit evadeing because uhhg yeah i wanted to be unbanned but w/e i got what i need now

[00:52] <PriceChild> flip2405: I'm going to lift the ban seen as it has been a week.
[00:52] <PriceChild> !guidelines | flip2405
[00:52] <ubottu> flip2405: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[00:52] <PriceChild> take a look through there please
[00:55] <elkbuntu> and if you need a quieter channel, you should use #ubuntu-classroom
[01:19] <Seeker`> flip2405: is there anything else we can help you with?
[02:02] <flip2405> Pricechild umm i just happen to be one of those volenteers
[02:02] <nalioth>   /topic
[02:02] <flip2405> ??????????/
[02:04] <Seeker`> flip2405: He is referring to the "no idling" part of the channel topic
[02:04] <flip2405> oh well my7 bad
[02:07] <Seeker`> flip2405: I think it is a hint that you should leave if you have no more questions that need answering
[02:08] <flip2405> Umm maby you should kill me?
[02:08] <nalioth> perhaps the unbanning was premature . . .
[02:09] <flip2405> pce
[02:09] <Seeker`> -00:56:10- Seeker`: lo
[02:09] <Seeker`> -02:00:34- flip2405: ?
[02:09] <Seeker`> -02:05:56- Seeker`: nothing major, I just wanted to make sure you understand that your actions after your ban meant to it was in place for much longer than it would have been originally
[02:09] <Seeker`> -02:09:31- flip2405: well
[02:09] <Seeker`> -02:10:02- flip2405: you have a week until i come back if its not removed ill share a little video of what im doing to another irc server that will be done to this one
[02:11] <Seeker`> nalioth: ^
[02:11] <nalioth> i'm aware   :(
[02:12] <Seeker`> I guess he missed the fact that was unbanned
[02:13] <jrib> this was now?
[02:14] <tritium> I hope he's been banned again, if not klined...
[02:14] <Seeker`> jrib: yes, it was just now
[02:15] <Seeker`> I cant ban people anywhere apart from -uk
[02:18] <bazhang> he seems mild compared to the bible tract guy warning to stop making ubuntu..or else
[02:19] <tritium> Are you serious?
[02:19] <bazhang> yup
[02:19] <tritium> Or else what?
[02:19] <bazhang> 7 diff nicknames kept spamming bible tracts
[02:19] <bazhang> did not specify or else what
[02:20] <Seeker`> tritium: I dont think we ever found out
[02:20] <tritium> bizarre
[02:20] <bazhang> very
[02:32] <Seeker`> nalioth: is there anything you are going to do about flip?
[02:34] <nalioth> Seeker`: he's gone

[09:37]  * Hobbsee thought the bug was particularly good
[09:37] <Hobbsee> "why don't you include what you already do?"
[09:37] <jussi01> it was a great bug :D

[10:58] <jdavies> well....
[10:59] <bazhang> at any rate he is unmuted. seems to have been resolved in PM.
[12:22] <PriceChild> http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3288/2513918491_71073ea06c.jpg The laptop on the lap on left looks tiny....
[12:22] <PriceChild> its *actually* the size of 3 small houses
[12:23] <jdavies> !seenserv
[12:23] <ubottu> Factoid seenserv not found
[12:24] <PriceChild> ( Amaranth ^ )
[12:24] <Myrtti> !seen
[12:24] <ubottu> The seen function has not been operational for a long time.  Use /msg seenserv seen nickname instead.
[12:24] <Amaranth> Why poke me? :)
[12:24] <Myrtti> !seen is <reply> foo
[12:24] <ubottu> But seen already means something else!
[12:25] <Myrtti> !seenserv is <reply> foo
[12:25] <ubottu> I'll remember that, Myrtti
[12:25] <Amaranth> oh, picture :)
[12:25] <PriceChild> If someone tries to use !seen, they will put a word afterwards... and it will break
[12:25] <Amaranth> dude that laptop is 13.3"
[12:25] <jdavies> Myrtti: people keep doing !seen <person> tho
[12:25] <Amaranth> just looks small because a giant is using it :)
[12:25] <PriceChild> Amaranth: don't think i haven't remembered the one from sevilla
[12:25] <Myrtti> !no seenserv is <alias> seen
[12:25] <ubottu> I'll remember that Myrtti
[12:25] <Amaranth> yeah, i broke it in half and got two laptops ;)
[12:26] <PriceChild> haven't forgotten..
[12:29] <Amaranth> actually i borrowed the little one from a friend
[12:29] <Amaranth> i don't wanna give it back
[13:43]  * jdavies notes that tyler keeps flooding
[13:47] <PriceChild> Where is this?
[13:47] <PriceChild> ah #ubuntu
[14:35] <bazhang> robg
[14:35] <Seeker`> bazhang: excuse me?
[14:35] <jdavies> Seeker`: #ubuntu
[14:36] <Seeker`> what about robg?
[14:36] <bazhang> very unhelpful
[14:44] <bazhang> either reinstall, medibuntu has everything, or google it.
[14:51] <PriceChild> google.com
[15:05] <bazhang> compiz probs-->go to medibuntu?
[15:18] <bazhang> just a quick question; what is +tncz in this channel header (xchat)
[15:19] <Seeker`> !modes
[15:19] <ubottu> There are many different channel and user modes on !freenode. Here's a list: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml
[15:19] <Seeker`> +t is topic protected
[15:19] <Seeker`> +c is no colours
[15:20] <bazhang> thanks read it. but in ot and #ubuntu there is just () nothing
[15:20] <Seeker`> +n is no external send (people cant message the channel from outside)
[15:20] <Seeker`> 7:#ubuntu-offtopic(+Lcntz)
[15:20] <Seeker`> 5:#ubuntu(+JLcfnt)
[15:20] <Seeker`> Thats what I have
[15:21] <bazhang> I have () and () for those two
[15:27] <bazhang> just happened by the way.
[15:31] <bazhang> quitting xchat and restarting had no effect.
[15:33] <tonyyarusso> bazhang: use irssi instead
[15:33]  * tonyyarusso runs
[15:33] <bazhang> haha thanks tonyyarusso
[15:36] <Seeker`> tonyyarusso: good advice
[15:36] <jdavies> tonyyarusso: I agree
[15:38] <jrib> no love for weechat?
[15:39]  * tonyyarusso thought jrib would have been trained by now, searches for some Huggies
[15:48] <bazhang> perhaps a system restart; this is really strange.
[15:54] <bazhang> I give up.
[15:55]  * jrib gives bazhang his channel modes back
[16:25] <PriceChild> bazhang: xchat gets confused, use /mode #channel to update it
[16:25] <bazhang> irssi works :) xchat bug then
[16:25] <Myrtti> Irssi <3
[16:25] <bazhang> PriceChild, thanks :)
[16:25] <Myrtti> .
[16:26] <bazhang> irssi is nice but need way more reading up on it :)
[16:29] <Myrtti> ./help is a friend
[16:31] <Myrtti> Should I apply for membership?
[16:32] <bazhang> in slashdot Myrtti ?
[16:32] <Myrtti> No ubuntu
[16:32] <bazhang> oh osrry

[16:48] <Myrtti> that was fun
[17:21] <emma> Hi guys. I would like some guidance from the -ops
[17:22] <jussi01> emma: how can we help?
[17:25] <emma> Someone just asked how to disable their password. I guess that's something I could help a person do but it's also something that seems potentially not in their best interest. In situations like that, how do we prefer to help people?
[17:26] <stdin> you ask them why they need to do that, then use your judgement
[17:26] <emma> Okay I shall do my best.
[17:26] <emma> Did anyone else want to give me any feedback before I part?
[17:26] <stdin> if they really want to find out, they'll find other ways, so just try to guide them
[17:27] <emma> Okay. Take care then, thanks.
[17:27] <jussi01> emma: Id agree with stdin.
[17:27] <emma> Okies.
[17:49] <bazhang> most problems are self-inflicted?
[17:52] <Myrtti> most are
[17:53] <bazhang> guess I'm lucky with my hardware then
[20:16] <alan_m> hi everyone, we have a user thats continuously changing nicknames and ignoring requests to stop in #ubuntuforums-beginners, our team leader is offline, is there anybody that can help out with this?
[20:17] <Jack_Sparrow> alan_m I dont have ops in there but I will join anyhow
[20:17] <alan_m> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[20:17] <alan_m> well...jack, he stopped for the time being.
[20:17] <alan_m> so...i dont know if he will start again or not.
[20:18] <Jack_Sparrow> I will stay joined for a bit just in case
[20:18] <Jack_Sparrow> alan_m who was it?
[20:18] <alan_m> edoram32mb
[20:20] <alan_m> well folks ill be back in a bit :)
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[20:21] <alan_m> thanks Jack_Sparrow, sorry to call you then suddenly have to go offline.
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> not a problem
[20:25] <Myrtti> have to say that emma is doing a great job at #ubuntu, she has the patience of an elephant
[20:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Myrtti I agree, and I took her aside the other day and told her so.. She and I had a very long heart to heart a week or so ago
[21:31] <ffm> Hey, is there a way I can talk with a mailing list admin privately?
[21:38] <jdavies> ffm: a lists.ubuntu.com admin?
[21:39] <jdavies> ffm: the mailing list page states who the admin is at the buttom of their info pages.
[21:45] <nalioth> email them directly?
[21:46] <ffm> nalioth, jdavies, thanks.
[21:47] <ffm> Would they have the ability to remove posts from the archive?
[21:47] <jdavies> no
[21:48] <jdavies> Only Canonical have the power to do that
[21:49] <ffm> jdavies: How would I ask them that?
[21:50] <jdavies> ffm: What is the issue in question?
[21:51] <ffm> jdavies: May I pm you?
[21:51] <jdavies> anytime
[21:54] <ffm> jdavies: Sent.
[21:54] <jdavies> ffm: Replied.
[21:56] <ffm> jdavies: Replied to the reply.
[22:16] <Seeker`> I'm assuming that the two of you have some sort of way of telling if you have a PM other than telling each other in here?
[22:17] <ffm> Seeker`: Of course not, that'd be too easy.
[23:51] <PriceChild> PriceChild just saw Feeder.
[23:51] <PriceChild> And it was good.
[23:51] <Seeker`> PriceChild: :O
[23:51] <PriceChild> wow is someone jealous
[23:54] <juliux> hi Seeker`
[23:56] <PriceChild> Yes emma, you are helping in #ubuntu, thankyou. However it is not necessary to hilight me whenever someone thanks you. Sincerely, PriceChild
[23:58] <Seeker`> :/
[23:58] <Seeker`> lo juliux
[23:59] <juliux> Seeker`, if you ever meet ompaul be prepared to have some spare time;)
