ubottu uses the Encyclopedia plugin to manage its factoids, not the 'Factoid' plugin that comes with supybot itself. You can download the current bot code by running bzr branch lp:ubuntu-bots
, more information about the bot code can be found on its launchpad page.
Either drop all the subfolders that you get after branching the bzr repo into your bot plugin directory or create a new one and add that path into supybot.directories.plugins
After loading Encyclopedia inside supybot, you'll need to modify your settings so that it knows where your factoid database is. The important config values for that are plugins.encyclopedia.datadir
and plugins.encyclopedia.database
. If you don't set these, it will use your bot's data directory and ubuntu
as the database name. (note: the database name should be entered without the .db
extension)
