Hi
archc128 2017-02-22 14:46:50
I registered my nickname and also finished the verification process, but when I try to join #archlinux, I get a message saying that I'd need a freenode account
archc128 2017-02-22 14:47:04
Any idea how to solve this?
NightTrain 2017-02-22 14:47:46
NickServ info says you have not successfully completed the verification process.
archc128 2017-02-22 14:49:02
Thanks, it got solved now

Is there a way to know if you dont have voice in a channel?
preaction 2017-02-22 15:27:30
your irc client might tell you "Can't send to channel"
SlimmyJimmy 2017-02-22 15:28:29
I see that sometimes but I'm not sure that works for an op that has taken voice
preaction 2017-02-22 15:28:48
oh, you mean you want to know if you are +v or not/
preaction 2017-02-22 15:28:59
just... add +v and if you're already +v nothing happens
SlimmyJimmy 2017-02-22 15:30:26
I'm not a channel op
ryonaloli 2017-02-22 15:31:37
most channels won't prevent you from talking just because you don't have voice
ryonaloli 2017-02-22 15:31:41
only channels that are +m will do that
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:32:50
SlimmyJimmy: check the nick list for the channel
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:33:04
if your nick has a dot or "+" in front of it, you have voice
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:33:07
if not, you don't
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:33:16
(assuming your nick list displays such statuses, most do)
SlimmyJimmy 2017-02-22 15:33:38
AdiIRC
SlimmyJimmy 2017-02-22 15:33:54
I don't see it but maybe it's in an option setting I can turn on.
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:34:12
in this channel do you see a bunch of people with @ in front of their nicks?
cc 2017-02-22 15:34:22
bigpresh: morning
SlimmyJimmy 2017-02-22 15:34:30
Yes, all at the top
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:34:37
all of them are ops
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:34:47
if this channel had voiced users, they'd be immediately underneath them, with + in front
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:34:56
there is nobody voiced on this channel right now though
SlimmyJimmy 2017-02-22 15:35:10
Oh, I must be confusing voice, I meant ability to be seen in channel.
thumbs 2017-02-22 15:35:27
you are seen as soon as you join the channel.
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:35:29
if you've joined a channel, everyone else in that channel knows you're there
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:35:38
if you mean your lines being seen, only way to know that is to send something
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:35:52
if you don't get back an error message starting with "Cannot send to channel", then it was sent
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:36:07
that error message might be in the channel tab itself, or it might be on the server tab somewhere
SlimmyJimmy 2017-02-22 15:36:15
Okay, thanks. I guess some channels are just full of dead people. :)
SlimmyJimmy 2017-02-22 15:36:22
They don't respond.
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:36:23
a lot of channels are like that, yes
twrk_ 2017-02-22 15:37:03
wat
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:37:07
1. not all of them are people, some might be bots. 2. even for those that ARE people, a lot of people use bouncers which let them stay connected 24/7 even if they aren't physically at the keyboard. 3. Every channel has a topic, and off-topic conversation may not get replies
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:37:23
4. the people in the channel may be predominately in a different time zone
JESUS01 2017-02-22 15:37:31
Hey I stepped in dog faeces and I have cleaned it fairly well but I can still smell it if I put my face near it. Do you think other people can smell the shit?
Skizzerz 2017-02-22 15:37:41
if you're in a support/help channel and have a question, the best thing to do is ask your question and wait patiently for a response, it may sometimes take a few hours
SlimmyJimmy 2017-02-22 15:38:08
Skizzerz thanks, sounds like good advice to me.
wraeth 2017-02-22 15:38:46
SlimmyJimmy: there are also many channels where lots of users will lurk just to watch and learn without actually contributing
JESUS01 2017-02-22 15:39:13
