[06:12] <jussi> bulldog98_: We are working on it :)
[06:14] <jussi> bulldog98_: done :)
[08:12] <vibhav> how Do I create my own wiki page??
[08:13] <vibhav> !wiki

[12:15] <vibhav> i want an ubuntu member cloak!
[12:16] <Pici> vibhav: Are you an Ubuntu Member?
[12:17] <vibhav> what does that mean? Pici
[12:17] <Pici> !member | vibhav

[13:19] <dobey> hey. seems some of the bots have lost authentication for LP API or something. ubot2 seems to not do anything if i paste a private bug number, and ubot4 seems to output a "bug not found" message in the channel
[13:20] <dobey> they used to print a message the bug was private though, and the direct link to the bug
[13:22] <popey> dobey: no they were changed a while back
[13:22] <popey> dobey: AIUI the bots now report 'not found' (404) because thats now what LP does for private bugs
[13:22] <popey> apparently it was an 'information leak' that the bots revealed private bugs
[13:23] <dobey> that seems a daft argument
[13:24] <dobey> if bug N gives 404, and bug N+1 does not, then obviously bug N must be private, as bugs do not get deleted.
[13:24] <popey> :D
[13:24] <popey> I had this discussion with lifeless some months back when it annoyed me.
[13:24] <dobey> if bug IDs were UUID instead of incremental numbers, that argument would make sense
[13:24] <dobey> meh
[13:25] <dobey> oh well, thanks
[13:26] <vibhav> dobey popey ha

[16:05] <gjensen-na> Hi, stupid newsbie question, but: I successfully shut myself out of my channel #ubuntu-na (made it invite only, *thought* I would have invited myself successfully - yeah well, and found out the hard way that I didn't...) - who can help me get back in there?
[16:06] <nigelb> gjensen-na: try /msg chanserv invite #ubuntu-na
[16:06] <nigelb> If its your channel (ie you're owner), you should be able to get back in
[16:07] <gjensen-na> nigelb - you're a star! And I'm in desperate need of some basic IRC knowledge it seems :-D
[16:08] <nigelb> Oh, I've done this to myself serveral times :P
[16:08] <Pici> What country is -na?
[16:09] <gjensen-na> Namibia - just busy setting up all the resources for the Ubuntu Namibia LoCo, when I hit that little snag ;-)
[16:09] <oCean> /country na says namibia
[16:09] <Pici> gjensen-na: neat!
[16:09] <Pici> oCean: /country?
[16:10] <oCean> xchat does that
[16:10] <gjensen-na> Check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NamibiaTeam - still everything in its infacy though. More "action" on FB at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ubuntu.na/ so far (hey, we needed to start *somewhere*)...
[16:11] <oCean> gjensen-na: cool
[16:18] <gjensen-na> Yeah well - large country, few people (approx 2.5 Mio), less households (approx. 450000), even fewer Ubuntu users - but at least 6 of them have found the way within the last couple of days. Any Namibians here? I've got to seize that chance, sorry ;-)
[16:20] <popey> Heh
[16:20] <popey> Good luck with your loco gjensen-na !
[16:20] <gjensen-na> That's very much appreciated, thanks :-)
[16:23] <jussi> gjensen-na: if you havent seen it yet: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/CreatingChannels
[16:26] <gjensen-na> yepp, saw that - but when setting the flags for my own account, my keyboard must have eaten the "i" somehow. Which I found out only when I came back via Smuxi - *after* having closed the browser session...
[16:28] <jussi> gjensen-na: hehe, can happen to the best of us
[16:35] <gjensen-na> Is the suggestion to make a channel "invite only" actually feasable? I mean: wouldn't we *want* virtually anyone to be able to join a LoCo channel?
[16:38] <jussi> gjensen-na: its only for the time that you are setting up the channel - you are supposedd to take it off again
[16:39] <jussi> gjensen-na: see the last command on the apge
[16:39] <gjensen-na> Makes sense. Just busy opening it up again then...
[16:46] <gjensen-na> Hm. Shouldn't /MODE #ubuntu-na -im give me some feedback? When I try /MODE alone, it still tells me [+i]...
[17:01] <gjensen-na> Well, seems I can try that as often as I want - a "-i" flag for the /MODE command gives me a [501 (ErrorUserModeUnknownFlag)] Unknown MODE flag
[17:11] <gjensen-na> problem solved, error was between my ears. Enjoy!
