<Kilos> lol
<Kilos> welcome to ubuntu-africa
<spykins> Thank u boss
<Kilos> how did you find this channel
<spykins> Just checking ubuntu and i hit africa.... I can't help but click join
<Kilos> wonderful
<spykins> With people like you here..... I won't have any problem... I bet
<Kilos> i am the greeter bot but we have very clever guys here
<spykins> Then... That makes you d most important person to me
<Kilos> i help guys with simple probs then hand over to the clever guys
<Kilos> lol
<spykins> I bet i need to partition my windows computer hdd to install ubutu on d other partition
<Kilos> aw the new guy is gone
<Kilos> hi pieter2627
<pieter2627> morning Kilos
<Kilos> i was chatting to a new guy from nigeria here and i was load shed grrr
<pieter2627> haha
<pieter2627> load shedding really help us to shed some extra stress with the comedy its timing provides at times
<Kilos> lol
<Kilos> QA  tell spykins Just hang around here and wait, we have power cuts often. Maybe go add nigeria here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams
<QA> Kilos: Okay, I'll tell spykins on freenode
<melodie> hi all
<melodie> Here is a new Bento Sushi on test: http://linuxvillage.org/blog/2015/05/09/bento-openbox-vivid-rc1-et-rc2/ in french
<melodie> http://linuxvillage.org/en/2015/05/bento-openbox-vivid-rc1-et-rc2/ in english
<melodie> Kilos Mani2 either spams or has issues with his connection, at #ubuntu-za
<Kilos> connection probs melodie
<melodie> oh ok
<melodie> because of the isp?
<melodie> or because of the configuration you think?
<Kilos> yours also did it but once only
<Kilos> ] *** melodie is now known as _______nick_____.
<Kilos> [09/05/2015 18:59] *** _______nick_____ is now known as melodie.
<Kilos> most likely the isp yes
<melodie> Kilos this was just a little joke for another chan
<Kilos> oh ok lol
<melodie> because I was a bit annoyed about them having _ and __ before and after their nicks
<Kilos> hahaha
<melodie> :)
<Kilos> just a question
<Kilos> when you make a new flavour
<Kilos> can you not go with lts only or must you release every 6 months
<Kilos> melodie  ^
<melodie> Kilos I can do whatever I was as it's not an officially supported version
<melodie> so I do what I think is best for the users
<Kilos> aha ty
<melodie> "whatever I want" I mean
<Kilos> lots of work to have a new release evey 6 months
<melodie> btw: http://linuxvillage.org/en/2015/05/bento-openbox-vivid-rc1-and-rc2/
<melodie> Kilos too much if it's not for the whole world as the official and officially supported ones
<Kilos> im too low on data to get that melodie
<melodie> Kilos just wait till someone brings one to you
<Kilos> would be nice if you can add it officially though
<Kilos> i like it
<melodie> and also, the ones who have a good connection on the African chans can help testing
<melodie> testers needed!
<melodie> :)
<Kilos> hehe
<melodie> Kilos it could be if there are packages for everything, and this takes a long long time
<Kilos> oh
<melodie> besides they might not see the need for it, as they already have Lubuntu which is the lightest
<Kilos> you have got too much energy
<Kilos> i dont like lubuntu
<melodie> the recipe started back in 2009 with another distribution and could be ported mostly in all linux distros
<Kilos> ok
<melodie> what is it that you don't like in Lubuntu? (there are things I don't like there either, but maybe not the same things as you do)
<Kilos> i likebento
<melodie> :)
<melodie> I'm am happy to know you like it
<Kilos> i dont even remember same as i dont like xubuntu
<Kilos> openbox is cool
<melodie> I will need to write documentation for Bento and make scripts to create a bento-openbox session if I can understand fully the whole process, which is something I started to look into
<melodie> openbox is used in Lubuntu as it is one of the main part of the Lxde desktop project
<Kilos> whew thats lots of work
<melodie> yes it is lots of work
<melodie> but little by little and with some helpers it may come out
<Kilos> lubuntu i think was too bare for me
<melodie> the project would also need someone in charge of the communication, so if you know someone who wants to get involved in a project, they can apply
<melodie> Kilos now I need to go out
<Kilos> ill let you know for sure
<melodie> see you soon, or a bit later
<melodie> thanks!
<Kilos> ok go safe
<melodie> :)
<melodie> sure I will go out get some air, and a beer
<melodie> ^^
<Kilos> lol

<Kilos> well trined assasins
 * Na3iL calls his agent friends
<Kilos> good idea Na3iL
<Dro> Cryterion, i'll try it  :)

<Dro> so are you going to help me guys ? :(
<Kilos> try  iftraf
<Na3iL> Dro, did you tried the solution that gave it Cryterion
<Kilos> then see where its coming from
<Kilos> iptraf
 * Cryterion looks at the launch button
<Kilos> rofl
<Dro> Cryterion, Na3iL , i think iptraf will give all active IPs, including google, facebook, freenode.. etc IPs.. So i'm afraid i can't differance them ! :/
<Cryterion> yes will
<Kilos> change your password
<Kilos> sudo passwd
<Kilos> then reset you firewall
<Kilos> hi josuebrunel
<Dro> ok, i'll try
<Cryterion> Dro, unfortunately you'll have to isolate each one as you work them out, narrowing down to the suspicious ones
<Kilos> then without knowing your password on master hackers can get in
<Na3iL> Check this link Dro  http://askubuntu.com/questions/608273/need-to-check-if-my-ubuntu-14-10-has-been-hacked
<Kilos>  maybe its your dog or cat or pet snake after warmth
<Cryterion> grrr, internal compiler segmentation fault on minute 49 :(
<Dro> damn its not too easy.. 500 IPs in just one second lol :p
<Cryterion> lol
<Kilos> wow
<Dro> lol
<Dro> local networks IPs...
<Dro> most of them begin with 192.168.*
<Na3iL> Dro, you are hacked by 500 NSA agents :D
<Na3iL> They are all my friends hahaha
<Kilos> hahahaha
<Dro> hahahha
<Dro> shit
<Dro> Cryterion, any solution to kill Na3iL & friends ?
<Na3iL> Another 500 will come later x)
<Dro> damn... ! do you own a military Na3iL ?
<Kilos> only way to kill them is to remove the top  of africa
<Na3iL> Yep x) we are +oo agents :D
<Kilos> haha

<Kilos> oh my
<Kilos> wb droben
<Kilos> ai!
<Kilos> wb Dro
<Dro> thx Kilos
<Kilos> hi sparda
<Kilos> i remember now
<sparda> hi Kilos
<Kilos> you the bainiarc
<sparda> Yeah
<Kilos>  brainiarc
<sparda> Yor memories..
<sparda> Your*
<Kilos> sometimes i remember
<sparda> Ever had a traumatic head injury?
<Kilos> oh yes i split head from above left eye to back of skull to level with ear centre
<Kilos> and from above ear to right ear almost
<sparda> What happened? A motor accident?
<Kilos>  rotary windmill drive shaft uncoupled  about 2 feet above where the dieasel motors belts wer driving it
<Kilos> then it bent and whacked me three times on head
<Kilos>  bled to death on way to hospital and had to be rebooted in icu
<sparda> So it happened in a garage
<sparda> Mine was from my time in the army.
<sparda> The APC we were riding in ran over an IED
<sparda> Then we were ambushed by armed men
<sparda> I took 11 rounds
<sparda> Most in the chest
<sparda> And one from a high precision rifle.
<Kilos> no i was coupling the drive belt to windmilll with diesel motor running because i couldnt get it to start when coupled
<sparda> Cardiac tamponade
<sparda> Collapsed chest
<sparda> Fractured limbs
<sparda> and ribs
<Kilos> oh my
<sparda> so they told me
<sparda> I too, had to be rebooted
<sparda> severally
<sparda> I woke up from a 5 - month coma
<sparda> Had to learn to do basic things all over again
<sparda> Like walking
<sparda> Walking is hard stuff
<sparda> Imagine learning it all over again as an adult.
<sparda> Shit we take for granted..
<sparda> In all the times I died..I never saw what's on the other side..
<Kilos> no we get sent back too quick
<Kilos> hehe
<Kilos> for more punishment
<sparda> There is a small detail i recall..
<sparda> Failing senses
<sparda> In particular, the order in which they fail
<Kilos> wow
<sparda> Eyesight is the first to go..
<sparda> You become incoherent...Your thoughts just run infront of you..
<sparda> Then your vision fades...You lose the ability to focus..And then central vision goes dark.
<sparda> Faces, objects in close proximity become unrecognizable
<sparda> The peripheral vision lingers on for a while longer..
<sparda> Until all is left is your eyes wide open and in pitch darkness..
<sparda> Then taste follows..
<sparda> When blood fills up your mouth, it's a hot (yes, hot) and rusty, salty fluid that also makes it impossible to inhale anything
<Kilos> whew
<sparda> Finally, all's left of it is a bland, tasteless and numb mouth
<sparda> You can't even whisper..
<sparda> Blood's wet, but in that case, you get thirsty
<sparda> An almost unquenchable thirst..
<sparda> The throat feels dry and raspy..
<sparda> And the ability to control swallowing goes, so you gargle on your fluids..
<sparda> A strange feeling..
<sparda> Then touch goes next..
<sparda> Progressive numbness
<sparda> Beginning from your arms.
<Kilos> wow i remember nothing
<sparda> Your peripherals go numb...
<sparda> Like, really numb and cold..
<sparda> Can't move...
<sparda> What remains in that darkness and the sound of your fading heartbeat is your hearing..
<sparda> It remains intact to the very end..
<sparda> What I vividly remember is the fear..
<sparda> A grippling fear in that darkness
<Kilos> whew
<sparda> It felt..lonely...
<sparda> Then, a calm..
<sparda> By then, the pain subsides..
<sparda> From there, nothing else..
<sparda> What I remember next is waking up from the coma..
<Kilos> im glad i dont remember anything but the pain
<sparda> Long after my body had healed..
<Kilos> wow
<sparda> It's like waking up to a new body
<sparda> At first, the mind is foggy
<sparda> In the first few days, my memories were only temporary
<sparda> So people who visited me on one day I couldn't recall on the next
<Kilos> same
<sparda> Over time (say, a week), that effect fades off..
<sparda> Your memories get clearer.
<Kilos> ai! modem playing up
<Kilos> are you ok now though sparda
<sparda> Yeah
<sparda> That was years ago
<Kilos> wow
<Kilos> what a story
<sparda> What I did lose were some memories
<Kilos> yes me too
<Kilos> and all short term memory
<sparda> Some are triggered by very specific things, such as smell.
<sparda> Some people and events I cannot recall
<sparda> No matter how hard I try
<Kilos> taken since 98 to recover enough to remember most things short term
<sparda> Some stories I have to rely on famil members and friends
<Kilos> same
<sparda> They feel like blanks.
<sparda> Chunks of time lost forever
<Kilos> yes you can feel there should be something there but there is nothing
<Kilos> like walking into an empty room but expexting it to be full
<sparda> Absolutely nothing
<sparda> Like a void...or something
<Kilos> yeah weird hey
<sparda> And then the nightmares
<sparda> There's one I remember vividly to this day..
<sparda> I remember one where as kids, dad would take me and bro to ride bikes outside our porch
<sparda> And mum would be sitting outside by the porch, often knitting and doing stuff
<sparda> Then, I'd see that as an adult watching back in time.
<Kilos> wow
<sparda> Like, this adult me looking at all that, but I cannot interact with anyone there..
<Kilos> weird
<sparda> And then, slowly, I'd see the place fade away
<sparda> Roll up like a sheet
<sparda> Black skies.
<sparda> And it always ended with a storm
<sparda> And me soaked wet
<Kilos> whew
<sparda> As I could not get into the house no matter what I try
<sparda> It made me feel..bad
<sparda> Dad had passed on a few years ago by then
<sparda> And I missed him terribly
<sparda> It made me cry every night..due to it's frequent recurrence
<sparda> Yet, it felt so real
<sparda> And it was always the same.
<sparda> Nothing changed
<Kilos> weird
<sparda> I don't know what it meant..
<Kilos> you in zim?
<sparda> I'm in Kenya, Kilos
<Kilos> oh yes sorry sparda
<superfly> Kilos: *prod*
<Kilos> yes superfly
<superfly> Just making sure you are behaving yourself
<Kilos> hahahaha
<Kilos> always
