<chesedo> first time i've seen you here

<acetakwas> I'm new here :p
<Kilos> hi acetakwas
<Kilos> welcome to #ubuntu-africa
<acetakwas> Kilos::  :) Thanks
<Kilos> where are you
<acetakwas> Nigeria
<Kilos> we are still hunting for many linux users in africa
<Kilos> welcome
<acetakwas> Cool. "They are ever so scarce."
<Kilos> do you know any of the guys in the niger loco
<acetakwas> Not many sorry
<Kilos> please join our group on https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-africa
<acetakwas> Okay
<Kilos> and the mailing list is in there too
<acetakwas> :)
<Kilos> have you seen our site?
<Kilos> http://ubuntu-africa.info
<acetakwas> Yes
<Kilos> cool
<acetakwas> But this is more of Ubuntu that "Linux" generally, right?
<Kilos> i bet you didnt hit refresh a few times and watch the background change
<acetakwas> Else, the name would be #linux-africa
<Kilos> this is an ubuntu channel but with all linux users welcome
<Kilos> many countries onlu use ubuntu on their servers
<Kilos> only
<acetakwas> Yes, but the name Ubuntu might not encourage Fedora users for instance to join.
<Kilos> but i am sure there are ubuntu users there that dont even know about us
<acetakwas> And I don't use a server
<acetakwas> It's my laptop's primary OS
<Kilos> same here
<acetakwas> Since 2 years
<Kilos> only mine is kubuntu
<Kilos> since 8.10
<Kilos> gnome2 at first then the unity change made me move to kde
<acetakwas> I use the Ubuntu 15 (LXDE)
<Kilos> we are having a meeting here tomorrow night at 20.30 cat
<acetakwas> Lubuntu desktop environment
<Kilos> cool
<acetakwas> Because of lagging Unity
<Kilos> kde is also a bit heavy but i love it
<acetakwas> Your site's background could use JS to auto switch the photos
<Kilos> everyone of the designers are too busy
<Kilos> took ages to just get the site going
<Kilos> so it can stay that way a while
<Kilos> it works
<Kilos> was mainly built to attrack linux users
<Kilos> we have from te top to the bottom of africa here
<Kilos> the
<Kilos> from tunisia to cape town
<Kilos> many guys dont find time to be on IRC
<acetakwas> Kilos::  I understand
<acetakwas> Even I am busy now. I keep IRC running on one of my workspaces
<Kilos> if you have anything of interest add it to the agenda for our meeting on the 27th
<Kilos> yeah the whole world is in busy mode
<Kilos> staying alive isnt as easy as it used to be

<chesedo> can we create a post that others can spread further like CraigZim's usggestion
<Na3iL> Can you do it chesedo ?

<superfly> QA: I am Raoul Snyman - South Africa
<QA> superfly: Righto

<chesedo> constant awareness should also help
<Kilos> promote the site as well guys, post the link in all social media
<Kilos> http://ubuntu-africa.info
<Na3iL> Talking about the website Kilos don't you think that we need to create a blog section
<Na3iL> We publish into it news about LoCos of africa?
<marwen> we need to focus on the very popular social site: facebook , twitter , creating videos and publish it on youtube is a awesome idea also
<Kilos> you need to talk to superfly about that
<Kilos> he is our site designer and host
<ac3takwas> And perhaps a planet
<Na3iL> superfly, what do you think?
<Kilos> ty for the hard work superfly
<superfly> Na3iL: we're using Nikola, it's a blog already
<superfly> Na3iL: I just didn't activate the blog because there was no one to do the blogging
<superfly> Na3iL: I don't have the time. But I'm more than happy to help others get it up and running.
<Na3iL> good superfly I think I can help you on that, especially the blogging part
<Na3iL> okay, nothing to add or I jump to the next topic?
<Kilos> nono
<MarwenDo> who is familiar with video editing ?

<Na3iL> QA: topic raise awareness of not so official mirrors but widely used in some areas (ongolaBoy)
<QA> Current Topic: raise awareness of not so official mirrors but widely used in some areas (ongolaBoy)
<mawutor> i think what we might need is a good blogger to tell our stories
<Na3iL> ongolaBoy, you there?
<mawutor> having the blog up is not all we need
<Kilos> we can all chip in with the blog
<mawutor> we need to be able to get the word our in lot of different ways
<Na3iL> that's sure mawutor I think I can take care of that
<chesedo> and blogger should feel free to pitch in
<ongolaBoy> Na3iL: I'm there
<Kilos> i can blog a bit about it, then it goes in the ubuntu newsletter
<Na3iL> So, I think last meeting you wasn't there to talk bout this topic?
<Kilos> ad elacheche_anis as well
<ongolaBoy> should I talk about our mirror ?
<elacheche_anis> o/
<Na3iL> Yep ongolaBoy what's the news?
<ongolaBoy> In fact our mirror changed from status Â«pendingÂ» to Â«UnofficialÂ»
<ongolaBoy> I have explained to ubuntu sysadmin on #ubuntu-mirrors that We have not the capacity to host all the architectures/versions
<elacheche_anis> Who gonna add me to what? :D x)
<ongolaBoy> but at least our mirror can be used by some people in our area
<Kilos> on the new blog coming elacheche_anis
<ongolaBoy> here is the LP page https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/miroir.cm.auf.org-archive
<ongolaBoy> we serve it on IPv4 and even IPv6 since some months :)
<Kilos> nice ongolaBoy good work
<ongolaBoy> thanks
<Na3iL> awesome!
<elacheche_anis> We have an official Tunisian Mirror as well
<Na3iL> So, nothing to add about that topic?
<ongolaBoy> that's all on that matter
<elacheche_anis> It's offered and managed by the Tunisian Internet Agency (The company who contorls all the internet in Tunisia x) )
<mawutor> a side the news letters and the blogs we could adopt schools for ubuntu lab. projects this we the get the news running not only on the web but also inthe media houses of the repestive countries
<chesedo> Na3iL: nothing
<Na3iL> QA: topic Events
<QA> Current Topic: Events
<Kilos> mawutor good idea
<ac3takwas> I mentioned a "planet"
<Na3iL> Any new coming events?
<ac3takwas> Do you guys know what that is?
<chesedo> abakamousa: nope
<chesedo> Na3iL:  not that im aware of
<Na3iL> elacheche_anis, we don't have any event in Tunisia?
<Na3iL> this month?
<Kilos> you can all plan release parties for 16.04
<chesedo> nope
<ac3takwas> If individual bloggers register their blogs with the planet, then they can blog independently about it.
<elacheche_anis> Na3iL: We still planning that SysAdmin workshop.. I needx to finish this last exam before getting my head clear for the details
<abakamousa> yes
<Na3iL> okay
<ac3takwas> The planet would aggregate these blog posts.
<chesedo> Kilos: your blog goes to the planet
<abakamousa> the link please
<Kilos> i dunno
<Kilos> ask elacheche_anis
<Kilos> hehe
<chesedo> abakamousa: yes others should register theirs too
<Na3iL> Why we don't plan for an UbuCon
<ac3takwas> I am part of the Durgarpur LUG #dgolug, and that's the approach used
<QA> ac3takwas: Righto
<Na3iL> take a look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubucon
<ac3takwas> s/#dgolug/#dgplug
<Na3iL> An Ubucon is generally an informal, lightly structured gathering of Ubunteros. There are also other meetings and UbuntuConferences
<elacheche_anis> Kilos: who gonna ask me, what? x)

<Eujean> Hi guys, quick question, will there be issues upgrading 15.10(non-LTS) to 16.04(LTS)?
<CraigZim> hello Eujean from what I've read it shouldn't be a problem , but as always you should backup all important data incase something goes wrong
<Kilos> hi Eujean welcome to ubuntu-africa
<Kilos> you can upgrade fine from release to release, or lts to lts
<Kilos> but always keep cackups
<Kilos> backups
<CraigZim> :)
<Kilos> deja-dup seems to make good backups
<Kilos> i just rsync /home to and external and replace after upgrading or clean installing
<Kilos> where is the rain CraigZim
<Kilos> things getting worse and worse here
<CraigZim> had 16mm day before yesterday
<CraigZim> but averages are very low
<Kilos> that only kills the dust for a day
<Kilos> the biggest problem i that its too late to plant most summer crops now
<Kilos> and if it doesnt rain lots winter planting gonna be dicey as well
<CraigZim> el nino hitting us bad
<Kilos> very
<Kilos> worst ever
 * Kilos wonders where eugene is
<Kilos> we need more africa peeps to join us
<CraigZim> I got not even 1 like on my FB post
<Kilos> ai!
<Eujean> Haha, there is a saying: "One can never have enough backups"...
<CraigZim> brb

<theShirbiny> Hi everyone
<MarwenDo> Hi theShirbiny
<theShirbiny> anyone know how can i install ubuntu with lvm on luks on a single parition and not the whole disk?
<theShirbiny> What i basically want, /dev/sda6 -> luks -> lvm -> ubuntu
<theShirbiny> and not /dev/sda -> luks -> lvm -> ubuntu
<theShirbiny> anyone?
<Bilel_mk> hey theShirbiny  ! look at this https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/lvm   i hope it help !
<theShirbiny> Bilel_mk: no English
<theShirbiny> ?
<Bilel_mk> i don't think so i will see !
<Bilel_mk> theShirbiny, try this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_%28Linux%29
<elacheche> Bilel_mk: :)
<theShirbiny> huh? i'm running Gentoo with LVM on LUKS and i want to switch to Ubuntu, that' link is not very helpful :D
<elacheche> theShirbiny: You steel look how to do that thing :/
<theShirbiny> hey elacheche o/
<Bilel_mk> hey elacheche
<Bilel_mk> :)
<theShirbiny> elacheche: what thing?
<elacheche> theShirbiny: the tools you used to do that on gentoo can't be used to be done on Ubuntu too?
<elacheche> thing â lvm on lucks
<theShirbiny> I don't have the option to install ubuntu on a single partition with lvm on luks
<theShirbiny> full disk only
<elacheche> Even with the alternate install cd?
<theShirbiny> what cd?
<elacheche> There is two installation ISOs for Ubuntu, the live one (graphical) and the alternate one
<theShirbiny> you mean the tui one?
<elacheche> yeah
<theShirbiny> don't think it would have that option
<elacheche> Emm.. What about installing using LVM only then encrypt it?
<theShirbiny> doesn't work that way
<elacheche> theShirbiny: encrypted LVM is what you're looking for â http://www.rationallyparanoid.com/articles/images/ubuntu-10-lts-security/01.jpg ?
<theShirbiny> no, i don't want to encrypt each lvm lv, i want to encrypt a block device then have the lvm inside that encrypted block
<elacheche> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#LVM_Installation_Guides
<elacheche> Emm.. I can't find better doc :/
<theShirbiny> /dev/sdaX -> luks -> lvm -> / home
<theShirbiny> elacheche: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LVM_on_LUKS
<theShirbiny> but with ubuntu
<elacheche> Try to ask here theShirbiny https://www.reddit.com/r/ubuntu
<theShirbiny> I'm banned from /r/ubuntu xD
<elacheche> loool.. what did you did?
<theShirbiny> nothing, was just arguing that Arch is better than ubuntu
<theShirbiny> i wasn't too smart xD
<elacheche> loool
