<Kilos> hi philipballew  nice to see you here
<philipballew> Kilos, how goes it?
<Kilos> good ty and you? just getting cold here
<philipballew> Kilos, I see. Its about 20 C here currently in this part of America
<philipballew> I keep reading bad things happening in South Africa lately. Hope all is not as bad as I hear.
<Kilos> philipballew  lovely, we are down to 10Â°c at night already but days reach 25
<Kilos> its mainly groups of hooligans that mainly want to steal
<philipballew> Kilos, Same is actually happening here today.
<Kilos> the cover of being xenophobia is mainly a fancy name to cover thieving thugs
<philipballew> Assholes Kilos ...
<Kilos> i think the whole world has hassles when thugs gang up
<Kilos> also the media blows things out of proportion always
<philipballew> Today we had peaceful protests about race tensions break out into looting. You might see it on the news sooner or later.
<Kilos> you in the states hey?
<philipballew> Kilos, California
<Kilos> some of our top guys work there now
<philipballew> what company?
<philipballew> I live on the California Mexico Border
<Kilos> haha i read an article about za IT peeps making their mark in the world but they add they all drink a lot of coffee
<Kilos> our guys are in silicon valley
<philipballew> Kilos, yeah. I need to head up that way more often.
<philipballew> I am either going to move there to find a job when I graduate, or get a job working remote and move to Mexicpo
<philipballew> Mexico
<philipballew> because living in America is way to much money.
<Kilos> ah good luck
<philipballew> Kilos, thanks man, I'm gonna need it.
<Kilos> hi elacheche  hows things
<elacheche> Hi Kilos.. not that good, just ok
<Kilos> i htink melodie will be away for a few days, she is giving a course to some mali peeps soon she said , i dont know if that started today
<Kilos> why not that good? what did you break
<elacheche> almost break my and my brother's legs 5 min ago x(
<Kilos> wow how?
<Kilos> car accident?
<elacheche> Solo accident.. The front brake in my scooter hangs in actif mod while we're riding the scooter..
<Kilos> ouch
<Kilos> be careful man
<Kilos> most likely the shoes are worn out
<elacheche> x) Now I'll try to fix it by myself (after work) as the front wheel won't turn because of the brakes
<Kilos> normally when the brake shoes wear too much then it goes over the point of return and locks up
<Kilos> normally turning the wheel backwards releases them
<Kilos> but they will keep locking till you replace the shoes
<elacheche> I'll try that.. thx :)
<Kilos> there should also be a cable from the handles to the wheel that fastens onto an arm, hit the arm with a rock in reversing doesnt help
<Kilos> unles it hasa hydraulic breaks of course
<elacheche> I think that they are hydraulic, I'll try play with the screw..
<Kilos> if there is no cable then im sure the shoes are worn past their limit
<lin_> Hey guys
<lin_> Try loading http://ke.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-backports/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages

<Kilos> hi melodie
<Kilos> very busy atm excuse me for a bit please
<melodie> Kilos sure. I've sent a mail back to you
<Kilos> ty
<Kilos> im not fast like you youngsters
<melodie> Kilos I'm as old as you are
<Kilos> nono
<melodie> uou just need to practice tuxtype :D
<melodie> sisi
<Kilos> 11 years short
<melodie> aha !
<melodie> :o)
<Kilos> :D
<melodie> you know tuxtype?
<melodie> ;D
<Kilos> nope
<melodie> it's fun and you practice typing
<melodie> it's for children, but adults do well with it too
<Kilos> lol melodie  i will try that maybe tomorrow. we are having our monthly meeting tonight and our chairs are stuck at work
<Kilos> i cant type like normal peeps, i use 2 fingers and have to see where the keys are
<Kilos> hehe
<melodie> 2 fingers ?
<melodie> do you have 10 of them?
<Kilos> they are old man and dont bend like young peeps or women
<Kilos> stiff from years of manual work
<melodie> if you do, I suggest you do the first 3 levels of klavaro to get you started
<melodie> I also train with Klavaro once a while, incredible program!
<Kilos> i will loom yes ty
<melodie> and both are in the repos
<melodie> have you received my mail about the sound bell.ogg ?
<Kilos> but i have tried a few typing courses and hands are too stiff
<Kilos> look
<melodie> try harder! :D
<melodie> don't give up, ever! :D
<Kilos> lol you so cheeky with old peeps
<melodie> you aren't old
<Kilos> i do well with 2 fingers
<melodie> there aren't old people on irc
<Kilos> im in no rush
<melodie> ,-)
<melodie> ;D
<Kilos> we have one guy 8 years older than me
<melodie> neither am
<melodie> I
<melodie> just you said you aren't as fast as the young
<melodie> but some young have not learned to use the keyboard either
<Kilos> no i know some that do 160 words a min
<melodie> and now I'm typing with a really hard one
<melodie> I don't
<Kilos> the guy that does the server for kenya is one
<melodie> I just don't need to watch my fingers while typing, just what I write, and well that the practice with Klavaro
<Kilos> types like a rocket
<melodie> the practice with Tuxtype is to rest from Klavaro
<Kilos> i go get gates
<melodie> ok
<Kilos> back
<Kilos> melodie  you just want to make me work more
<melodie> Kilos I have worked for you and I'm waiting to know if the bell.ogg screenshot helps you?
<Kilos> lol so cheeky
<Kilos> oh yes girl i know setting xchat and hexchat and konversation well ty
<Kilos> ive been using ubuntu since 9.04
<melodie> Kilos but you would want the .ogg to be in the system? that was your point?
<melodie> I have seen "oga" files
<Kilos> but doing it that way gives me a lous sshhhh kinda of sound
<melodie> not sure what format and container that is exactly
<Kilos> bell.ogg must be a loud bloep
<melodie> Kilos look better the screenshot I have put some marks
<melodie> it is a loud blop if you set it up the way I show with the red arrows : I have written an explanation too
<Kilos> i did
<Kilos> but ill try again
<Kilos> but not now
<Kilos> trying to find a chair for tonights meeting
<Kilos> guys are busy at work still
<melodie> ok
<Kilos> when is your course
<melodie> just a question, which light music player do you use?
<Kilos> vlc
<melodie> whicy course?
<melodie> this isn't light
<melodie> you need something lighter
<melodie> a very simple one
<Kilos> i dont play much music
<melodie> there is a ppa for deadbeef, or you could install audacious
<melodie> you will play bell.ogg with xchat and an external music player, but a light one that runs fast !
<melodie> this is how it works fine here.
<melodie> else it does what you say, a strange noise
<Kilos> thats an online player
<Kilos> oh i also use mplayer
<melodie> it needs the console to start
<melodie> unless you use gmplayer or so
<melodie> but once again, a light one is very very tiny and small on footprint
<Kilos> i can do that
<Kilos> but no online stuff that eat my data
<melodie> right
<melodie> I have kept the screenshot light and at same time not too small, so you can see the details. it's about 125kb
<Kilos> i have to go eat girl
<Kilos> wbb
<Kilos> i can see it great ty
<melodie> :)
<melodie> ok
<Kilos> tummy full now need to rest
<Kilos> i even said night on #phillw
<Kilos> can do many noisy channels when we have a meeting
<Kilos> cant
<Kilos> hmm...

<Kilos> lemme see
<superfly> oh, no wonder, wrong channel!
<Kilos> you in wrong channel superfly

<superfly> -_- still sick, on day 4 of my migraine
<melodie> superfly where does it come from?
<superfly> melodie: I think I have influenza
<Kilos> melodie  you want to join our monthly meeting
<Kilos>  #ubuntu-za
<melodie> Kilos is it very verbose?
<Kilos> whats verbose
<superfly> Kilos: you are verbose. you talk a lot
<Kilos> hee hee
<melodie> superfly you can get cured faster if you use "magnesium" (chlorure de magnÃ©sium)
<superfly> melodie: yes, I'm taking magnesium :-)
<melodie> superfly I bet you don't have much appetite?
<melodie> you can eat light, chicken soup, fruit juices (not at same time though :D )
<superfly> yeah, on Sunday I wasn't hungry

#ubuntu-africa 2016-05-08
<Kilos> helloooo africa
<melodie> hi
<melodie> Kilos !!!
<melodie> I have to "see" you!
<melodie> bonjour tout le monde
<Kilos> hi melodie
<Kilos> how are you?
<melodie> Kilos you might have the so missing Burkina Faso in your lists in a near future!
<melodie> this is what I've come to tell you
<Kilos> oh my what is happening
<melodie> do you have someone in your team who can translate for you?
<melodie> from French
<Kilos> yes but not today only tomorrow
<melodie> well in Toulouse, one hour drive from my home, we have a 4 days Fablabs festival
<melodie> yes, no hurry
<melodie> you know what Fablabs are, don't you?
<Kilos> nope
<Kilos> i am just an irc cruiser trying to revive locos that have become inactive
<melodie> There are places meant to unleach the people's creativity, and help each other create projects using open source tools
<Kilos> ok
<melodie> <Kilos> i am just an irc cruiser trying to revive locos that have become inactive || and you can also inspire the creation of new ones, don't you?
<Kilos> yes i try
<melodie> Well at Ougadougou, they have created a whole building using the ancesters methods of the nubien vault
<melodie> to make the Fablab inside
<Kilos> cool
<melodie> they asked money to the crowd at Kisskissbank and received over 7000 euros to make it
<Kilos> great
<melodie> now the initiator of the project is at the Fablabs festival in Toulouse, and one of the members of my newly created LUG in my area is a friend of his, and will bring him along in our very 1st grand opening meeting inauguration in 2 weeks !
<melodie> and the guy who initiates this fablab is also a Linux user! \o>
<melodie> \o/ !
<Kilos> yay
<melodie> so I'll tell him about your african network and ask him to reach to you and join in!
<melodie> That's not all
<Kilos> wonderrful ty
<melodie> no problem my greatest pleasure :D
<melodie> and it's not all
<Kilos> you have been a busy lady
<Kilos> tell more
<melodie> it's probably very hot in your place lately?
<Kilos> nope winter is coming fast
<melodie> omg
<Kilos> what?
<Kilos> northern hemisphere is getting summer now
<melodie> in Burkina Faso there is also a guy who I know who leads a Spirulina farm, he just returned from there (I've seen him at his home neaby mine, with his wife) and they have 46Â°C there now.
<Kilos> oh my
<melodie> I asked him how he bears it, he told me he didn't. then asked him how natives bear it, he sayd, litterally "they don't. They die. Just they don't know what they are dying from"
<Kilos> 46Â°c is hot
<melodie> now I see this guy who creates the fablab at Ouagadougou and his co-creators have knowledge about the Nubien vault construction method ( see http://www.lavoutenubienne.org/en ) and this is very important for all countries where it's very hot, because it's ecologic, very strong, and keeps the temperature low when it's hot, and higher when it's cold!
<melodie> so when my friend says "they die", he talks about hundreds of people dying and the rest around are helpless :-[
<Kilos> yes
<melodie> this is where I can give it a hinch : I'll make them both contact each other. My friend has his spirulina farm not far from Ouagadougu, and they have to meat and work together to share their respective knowledge!
<Kilos> that link is very slow
<melodie> yes, it can be, it's far from you
<Kilos> the answer to most problems is in working together
<melodie> do you want me to send you the pdf of the Ouagadougou project by mail? Or is there someone in your organisation who you would want me to send it? (someone with more bandwidth credits)
<melodie> Kilos and connecting the relevant people in that purpose
<Kilos> how big is it melodie
<melodie> you know my dear, I'm myself searching for a lasting solution to earn my living, while doing what I love, which is helping finding solutions to issues. And I am aging too, so I'd better find it fast.
<melodie> let me check
<melodie> it's 1,6 Mio, (1 703 466 octets)
<melodie> 7 pages, textes and pictures
<Kilos> what is that in megabytes
<melodie> This is about 1.7 MB
<melodie> almost
<Kilos> thats fine love
<melodie> so I send it to you by mail?
<Kilos> you can mail it to me
<melodie> ok I do that right away
<Kilos> ty
<melodie> please give me your mail address again, my mail client can't find it
<Kilos> hehe im much older than you
<urbanslug> haha
<melodie> Kilos you might be, however I don't want to be stopped by age. Only society will (which in France would make me a pre-retired, which I refuse to be!)
<Kilos> do you see it in pm melodie
<Kilos> https://framadrop.org/r/keFdj79tAs#kEOzQwyj66NM5iC7kMKzXc1pneuTu+AlTEKAh555v8U=
<Kilos> for the french speaking african peeps
<Kilos> hi MarwenDo
<MarwenDo> hi Kilos
<MarwenDo> how are doing ?
<Kilos> good ty and you
<Kilos> https://framadrop.org/r/keFdj79tAs#kEOzQwyj66NM5iC7kMKzXc1pneuTu+AlTEKAh555v8U=
<MarwenDo> i'm fine :)
<Kilos> getting hotter by you guys now
<Kilos> we are going into winter
<melodie> Kilos tell them what it is : a Fablab being created in Burkina Faso, where no LUG is yet known! And the guy who is creating it is in France now, in Toulouse where there is an international Fablab Festival lasting 4 days! And this guy IS a Linux user!
<melodie> so all you guys download that file! :D
<melodie> and spread it around in all Africa! Yeah! \o/ !
<Kilos> MarwenDo melodie is working to make things better for people in africa
<MarwenDo> great :)
<melodie> Kilos that's to say everywhere, because all have something to teach to others. Such as this Nubian Vault construction technique which is referred to in the pdf document, I've read about it before, and it's just the utmost best thing to know in any country where mud can be used for this purpose.
<Kilos> yes
<melodie> you can stop after the word "better". ;-)
<melodie> "melodie is working to make things better" :D
<Kilos> haha
<Kilos> you have mud in france as well
<melodie> always have
<Kilos> hee hee
<melodie> yes, in most places
<melodie> some have mostly stones and rocs, so they build with stones and rocks, other places have wood, then they use wood
<Kilos> i remember from watching old war movies
<melodie> aha !
<melodie> I'm still writing that mail to you
<Kilos> no rush girl im not going anywhere
<melodie> how do you say "inauguration" in English? Is that the same word?
<Kilos> QA spell inauguration
<QA> Kilos: Yup, that's a word all right
<Kilos> hha yes same in english melodie
<melodie> Kilos thanks my friend.
<Kilos> anytime
<melodie> wb MarwenDo
<MarwenDo> hi melodie
<melodie> :)
<melodie> which country do you live in?
<MarwenDo> I'm from Tunisia :D
<MarwenDo> you ?
<melodie> south France
<MarwenDo> nice to meet you
<melodie> South West that is
<melodie> nice to meet you too
<melodie> I'm wondering if the "no phased updates" thing that it spreading around the web as a feature actually exists and works, I have set it up on one of my machines and I'm not sure I see a difference, and in man apt.conf and in the file "/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz" which is talked about in the man (man apt.conf) I don't see a clue about it? Here are the posts about phased updates:
<melodie> http://askubuntu.com/questions/369722/update-manager-does-not-show-all-updates
<melodie> http://www.murraytwins.com/blog/?p=127
<melodie> someone has any idea about it?
<Kilos> hi CraigZim
<Kilos> hows things there
<Kilos> melodie those links were for 13.10 i dont think that is valid anymore
<melodie> those links where "starting from 13.10" which means we don't know if they are, or not, valid anymore. :)
<melodie> it's possible that the docs and man were never updated either.
<Kilos> the guys on phills channel should know
<CraigZim> Hi Kilos sorry been busy. things here deteriorating
<CraigZim> cash had to get
<Kilos> everywhere lad
<Kilos> the whole world is upside down
<CraigZim> no cash money no notes avail money in bank
<Kilos> oh my
<Kilos> CraigZim how are you guys surviving
<CraigZim> still carrying on,we always seem to find a way :)
<Kilos> whew
<Kilos> night africa, rest well
