[12:22] <kalila> Hello.
[12:23] <kalila> we are a group of Arabic Linux users, some have made distributions in the past. We are looking into starting a ubuntu based Arabic distribution
[12:24] <kalila> there is some documentation out there. I'm wondering what kind of support and help we will get from the official ubuntu, whether we can register is as a ubuntu subproject. Or if there were any such attempts with other languages
[12:25] <kalila> (am I in the right channel?)
[12:26] <kalila> what mailing list do you recommand for this discussion?
[12:27] <LarstiQ> kalila: I'm really not in the know, but I'd start at the ubuntu arabic translators: https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-ol10n-ar
[12:28] <kalila> yeah many of us are from there
[12:28] <LarstiQ> got that covered then ;)
[12:28] <LarstiQ> kalila: have you searched mailing list archives for similar enquiries?
[12:29] <kalila> nope - paging :)
[12:51] <Burgundavia> anybody tested the dailys recently?
[05:37] <nauj27> hi
[06:20] <soulrider> hi
[06:20] <soulrider> how cna i submit a pacjage ?
[06:20] <soulrider> some are outdated and i can compile a deb of th elatest version
[06:22] <_ion> Are you sure Feisty doesn't contain a recent version of the package in question?
[06:23] <soulrider> no
[06:23] <soulrider> how can i know ?
[06:23] <stgraber> packages.ubuntu.com
[06:24] <soulrider> so packages are only being updated for feisty and not for edgy ?
[06:24] <wasabi_> That's basically how it works, yes.
[06:25] <stgraber> only bug fix are sent to edgy
[06:25] <wasabi_> With some exceptions involving security and what not.
[06:25] <stgraber> except backports of course
[06:25] <soulrider> yes
[06:25] <soulrider> even the one ion feisty is outdated
[06:26] <soulrider> http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/kde/filelight latest version fixes crashes, especially the one that makes the program crash everytime you close it :P
[06:29] <yipe> Merry Christmas Developers! Thank you so much for my favorite distro!
[06:31] <yipe> it's all because of you guys that we have such a wonder, easy to use distro, and it's because of you that we can all have such a pleasant experience using our computers
[06:32] <yipe> s/wonder/wonderful
[06:32] <yipe> Thank you a million times for all your hard work. Merry Christmas 
[06:35] <Riddell> soulrider: check if debian has the newer version, if not make an updated package and submit to revu and poke someone to look at it (on #kubuntu-devel if it's KDE)
[06:38] <soulrider> Riddell: how cna i check if debian has an updated package ?
[06:40] <Riddell> soulrider: packages.debian.org
[06:41] <soulrider> Riddell: its outdated
[07:02] <Adri2000> soulrider: add the debian deb-src and use apt-cache madison
[07:03] <soulrider> Adri2000: im sorry but im gonna need some guidance here
[07:03] <Adri2000> in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:03] <soulrider> i already checked
[07:04] <Adri2000> in mine there is a line deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
[07:04] <soulrider> and there isnt an updated version on debian
[07:04] <Adri2000> ah, "outdated" was the package?
[07:04] <soulrider> no
[07:04] <soulrider> package is
[07:04] <soulrider> Filelight
[07:04] <soulrider> but in ubuntu and debian
[07:04] <Adri2000> yes yes :p
[07:04] <soulrider> theres only old packages
[07:04] <siretart> soulrider: you could try madison-lite
[07:05] <soulrider> but thats what? =/
[07:05] <Adri2000> soulrider: when you said "its outdated", were you talking about packages.debian.org or filelight that was actually outdated in debian?
[07:05] <soulrider> filelight
[07:06] <soulrider> theres an old version of filelight
[07:06] <Adri2000> ok, then you can ignore what I said
[07:06] <soulrider> i compiled hte latest
[07:06] <soulrider> and i want to submit it
[07:06] <Adri2000> you can upload it to revu as said Riddell 
[07:06] <soulrider> how do i do that? =/
[07:07] <Adri2000> soulrider: you have an account on launchpad?
[07:07] <soulrider> uhm
[07:07] <soulrider> i think i do but i cant remember my pass, hold on
[07:09] <soulrider> k, im logged in
[07:10] <Adri2000> ok, you have to add your gpg key to your account
[07:10] <soulrider> how do i do that ?
[07:10] <Adri2000> first, do you have a gpg key? :)
[07:10] <soulrider> err, dunno
[07:11] <Adri2000> you need that to sign your packages
[07:12] <soulrider> ok
[07:12] <soulrider> how do i do that ?
[07:13] <Adri2000> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[07:13] <soulrider> thank you
[07:15] <Adri2000> once you have your gpg key, add it on launchpad via https://launchpad.net/people/<your_nick>/+editpgpkeys, join the revu uploaders team via https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-universe-contributors/+join
[07:16] <Adri2000> you can join #ubuntu-motu if you have questions, MOTU are people who maintain the universe and multiverse repositiories (filelight is in universe)
[07:19] <Riddell> soulrider: if you know how to package, then package it and upload to revu
[07:19] <Riddell> soulrider: if you want to learn how to package read the guide on help.ubuntu.com and update the package
[07:20] <Riddell> soulrider: if you just want someone else to do it poke people (being KDE #kubuntu-devel probably the best place) to update it
[07:21] <soulrider> yeah.. i think im gonna go bug someone
[08:09] <mynameisdeleted> I have a dual 2.8GHZ 64-bit server with a gigabit internet connection........ could such a thing significantly speed up everyones apt-get runs?
[08:10] <mynameisdeleted> how would I go about setting up such a mirror and making it publicly available?
[08:11] <mynameisdeleted> I mean making it an official mirror that saves people download time
[08:11] <mynameisdeleted> I'd prefer its for apt-getters only
[08:11] <mynameisdeleted> and that people download iso's through torrent for which it can be a seed
[08:12] <_ion> You probably should mail mirrors@ubuntu.com
[08:17] <mynameisdeleted> emailed
[08:18] <mynameisdeleted> I'm guessing ubuntu needs all the web bandwidth it can get for apt-get upgrades
[08:19] <mynameisdeleted> how many users could be served do you think using 1gbps?
[08:21] <mynameisdeleted> would there be a way to limmit bandwidth to lets say 300mbps average but burstable without slowing down users
[08:21] <mynameisdeleted> just serving fewer of them?
[08:21] <mynameisdeleted> like when it gets over that speed
[08:21] <mynameisdeleted> some percent are redirected to another mirror?
[08:22] <mynameisdeleted> so it won't mess up their apt-get 
[08:22] <mynameisdeleted> but it won't bog down my gigabit ethernet either
[08:22] <mynameisdeleted> so any applications I use for personal reasons on the server won't be slowed down
[08:23] <mynameisdeleted> and the drive will be able to keep up with it as well
[08:58] <wasabi__> Seveas: you messed with NX in the past? Wondering why it's not in the archives. =)
[08:58] <desrt> wasabi; i hear you're staying in TX
