Please briefly describe the interaction that caused you to file this
ticket:
fenrus02 was being mildly rude, which came as a surprise given the
generally friendly nature of the channel. I was asked to leave feedback.
Please note other IRC nicks that are involved in this interaction:
fenrus02 primarily
Please describe what action or positive change could be adopted based on
this feedback:
Participants could perhaps not be told to go away. I asked a general
question that applied to Fedora, and I believe the question and answer to
both be on-topic. "I installed a package this way. It was an error. What
are my options for cleaning it up?"
Any additional notes or logs:
Ah, wow, the angry little fellow managed to silence me in the channel. He
became abusive when I offered an answer to a user who was wondering about
encryption during install. He went on a tear about how I was wrong and
shouldn't talk. And then I was silenced. What a horrible experience.
I'd suggest getting rid of fenrus02. He's quite rude and his behaviour
suggests mental illness.
Here's a log:
(04:10:54 PM) ChibaPet: Babalau, I'm guessing here that it's offering to
turn on LVM encryption.
(04:11:04 PM) AstralStorm: fenrus02, yeah right, nothing stands out
(04:11:06 PM) ChibaPet: Oh, he left.
(04:11:18 PM) fenrus02: AstralStorm, then it's not in any of your
configured repos.
(04:11:36 PM) AstralStorm: so it's not in the main repo at all. weird
(04:11:36 PM) AstralStorm: which repo should I add then?
(04:11:44 PM) fenrus02: ChibaPet, dont give out bad / misleading advice.
you cannot "turn on" that at all.
(04:11:51 PM) talisein: uckelman,
http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-
admin-guide/stable/gconf-9.html.en
(04:12:12 PM) ChibaPet: Fenrus, that's neither bad nor misleading at all.
Perhaps you need to learn about LVM?
(04:12:14 PM) AstralStorm: or is there some tool that makes finding
external repositories easier?
(04:12:18 PM) talisein: uckelman, what i would do is make 2 launcher apps
on your toolbar that you click that would switch the font
(04:12:28 PM) uckelman: talisein: Aha, yes.
(04:12:29 PM) fenrus02: ChibaPet, perhaps you should do the same. how
long have you been using it exactly?
(04:12:38 PM) fenrus02: ChibaPet, when precisely did you enable crypto in
lvm?
(04:12:53 PM) fenrus02: ChibaPet, in the middle of your storage of actual
data or was it really prior to that event?
(04:13:15 PM) ChibaPet: Use Google, fenrus03.
(04:13:27 PM) ChibaPet: He was talking about an installer.
(04:13:29 PM) fenrus02: ChibaPet, flat out, you are wrong chia
(04:13:48 PM) fenrus02: ChibaPet, the installer is not the same as
installing kde post install
(04:13:49 PM) uckelman: talisein: Is this a common problem? I thought it
would be handled by the screens having a different DPI.
(04:14:27 PM) fenrus02: ChibaPet, i am quite familiar with how the
installer works as well. feel free to ask actual questions that an end
user may have. for other questions, there are other channels.
(04:14:29 PM) ChibaPet: Fenrus, I'm sorry about whatever is making you act
this way, and I hope it gets better. If you want, I can try to find some
resources for you.
(04:14:29 PM) talisein: uckelman, I'm not qualified to answer that. But
when I put my laptop in a dock I only need to change the resolution, not
the font
(04:15:05 PM) WebDragon: fenrus02 happens to be a long-term member here,
ChibaPet, just FYI

(04:15:17 PM) fedbot: ChibaPet, You have been quieted in this channel
temporarily. Please read
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Channel_FAQ
and consider changing your approach and/or the behavior that is disrupting
the channel. If you feel this action was in error, please file a ticket at
https://fedorahosted.org/irc-support-sig/
(04:15:40 PM) uckelman: talisein: Thanks for your help. I'll try adding
launchers for font-size switching.
(04:16:01 PM) fenrus02: hush now ChibaPet enough trolling. come back when
you have an actual end-user question about fedora. see /topic for details
So, this was my first experience with #fedora, and probably my last if you
allow people like this to take their anger out on people.
