<MaWaLe> hi folks
<MaWaLe> i'm a newbie irc
<MaWaLe> and i'm an op of a chan
<MaWaLe> how can i acquire op mode on my chan?
<MaWaLe> i mean the command
<Mamarok> MaWaLe: try this command: /msg/ChanServ op #channelname MaWaLe
<Mamarok> then use deop once you are done
<MaWaLe> i've got it :)
<MaWaLe> thx anyway
<Mamarok> MaWaLe: also I strongly suggest you read the IRC HowTos on Freenode
<MaWaLe> there isn't a complete doc for using IRC and specially for ops
<jussi> MaWaLe: I do suggest you read this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorGuidelines
<MaWaLe> thx jussi
<MaWaLe> i'm on it

<jussi> Hrm, had an idea (might be crazy, but yeah) - I know it would be nasty on the maintainers, but perhaps we could make the default username/ident reflect the version of ubuntu, making it easier to identify which version they are running and less lines used in asking that?
<jussi> Btw, this type of questions and thoughts are more than welcome in here - "how we can make things rock/ not suck" is very ontopic for here.
<charlie-tca> and if they run two or three systems with different versions?
<jussi> charlie-tca: it wont be 100% accurate, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt do it
<jussi>  I think it would be possible to write a little script that pulls the version, so the maintainers wont have to think about it each release
<charlie-tca> Would that make it more confusing, then, if it is not accurate. People will be giving answers based on the reported version instead of asking?
<jussi> not really, because usually people on a second system will say so, but a  newbie on his new system wont say anything
<charlie-tca> Seems like one more step of "you should assume we know everything needed, so don't bother telling us. We can help anyway."
<jussi> Hrm, I dont think so, its more one more step of "hey, we have some extra information that enables us to give better help"
<jussi> charlie-tca: btw, what is xubuntu's default irc client?
<charlie-tca> Xchat
<charlie-tca> and that is not xchat-gnome
<jussi> k
<charlie-tca> We also install pidgin by default, just to confuse things ;-)
<jussi> heh
