| Kilos | welcome to ubuntu-africa ronaldm | 09:10 |
| Kilos | now you have joined the rest of africa | 09:10 |
| zxsinclair | ronaldm: who is looking after ubuntu.org.zw these days? | 09:40 |
| ronaldm | zxsinclair: sorry I was away. Kalpesh is looking after Ubuntu.org.zw | 11:00 |
| === coco11 is now known as coco1 | ||
| zxsinclair | ronaldm: it could do with an update and it looks like downloads are gone? | 11:47 |
| craigbrash | no they still there only upto 14.04 | 11:49 |
| craigbrash | but mirror.zol .co.zw is fully functional | 11:50 |
| melodie | hello | 12:00 |
| melodie | Kilos ? | 12:00 |
| Kilos | hi melodie | 12:01 |
| Kilos | how are you? | 12:01 |
| melodie | Kilos here is your work: https://semestriel.framapad.org/p/ubuntu-africa | 12:01 |
| melodie | fine, thanks, and you? | 12:01 |
| Kilos | aw ty so much | 12:01 |
| melodie | elacheche if you are around, would you mind check my translation and join in if you find any better way to translate Kilos's ideas? | 12:02 |
| melodie | check/checking | 12:02 |
| melodie | or anyone here who is fluent in English as well as in French, would be nice | 12:02 |
| melodie | btw Kilos I opened this pad for the ubuntu-africa team, it's reserved for 6 months | 12:03 |
| melodie | if you want to continue it after the 6 months you will have to continue it, or to redo it | 12:03 |
| melodie | at your will | 12:03 |
| Kilos | oh cool, you such a good geek chick to have around | 12:03 |
| Kilos | ty so much | 12:03 |
| melodie | ;) | 12:03 |
| Kilos | ty for the suggestion to use irc clients too i will add it | 12:05 |
| melodie | Kilos how do you get an approved website at Canonical? | 12:05 |
| Kilos | many have forgotten about irc and follow the new social media ways | 12:05 |
| Kilos | yes canonical approved http://ubuntu-africa.info and gave permission to use bubuntu logos and stuff | 12:06 |
| Kilos | took a while for them to get to it though | 12:06 |
| melodie | yes, of course, however irc is lighter on internet connexions and as such is better for people having small bandwidth and even to join many communities on the gnu/linux projects or other free open source projects, it's nice | 12:07 |
| melodie | Kilos yes I read that from your post to be translated : what I'd like to know is how you do that : getting approval? | 12:08 |
| Kilos | let me try find out how i did it melodie | 12:08 |
| melodie | yes, ok thks | 12:09 |
| Kilos | i had to mail the particulars to canonical | 12:10 |
| melodie | ok | 12:11 |
| melodie | they could only approve such a project | 12:11 |
| Kilos | just give me some time to try find the info please | 12:11 |
| melodie | as such, it's where the Ubuntu name comes from, so... | 12:12 |
| melodie | Kilos it's ok, I get the idea | 12:12 |
| Kilos | yes but it was better to be safe and make it legal | 12:12 |
| melodie | I have news here for the teams too | 12:12 |
| melodie | Kilos of course it's better! | 12:12 |
| melodie | so I have news about the Bento Openbox project | 12:12 |
| Kilos | oh yes? | 12:13 |
| melodie | I want to make it spread and become better, so now there is a small team around the project. Not many people yet, just a few guys interested to help. | 12:13 |
| melodie | we can bring in more people, no problem with that | 12:13 |
| melodie | we started a mailing list, bento-dev on freelists, a gitlab for two projects, one is the fs and next packages on launchpad (whenever we can get started on that) | 12:14 |
| melodie | and one on gitlab is about building an openbox control center which will first be a simple ui layer to gather the launchers for the different programs installed in and used to customize the desktop | 12:14 |
| melodie | I'd like to give the links here: | 12:14 |
| Kilos | yes do | 12:15 |
| melodie | so all can take acknowledgement of what can be done, used, helped with | 12:15 |
| Kilos | most is too involved for me to understand but there are clever guys here | 12:15 |
| melodie | Kilos yes sure | 12:16 |
| melodie | so here is the mailing list web page and archive page: http://www.freelists.org/webpage/bento-dev http://www.freelists.org/archive/bento-dev/ | 12:16 |
| melodie | here the gitlab group: https://gitlab.com/bento-openbox/ | 12:16 |
| melodie | and here there are comprehensive files with a mind map of the specific Bento Openbox tree directory: https://gitlab.com/bento-openbox/bento-filesystem/tree/master | 12:17 |
| zxsinclair | ronaldm: I get no connection on this link http://archive.ubuntu.org.zw/ubuntu/iso | 12:17 |
| craigbrash | zxsinclair: its working from my side | 12:19 |
| zxsinclair | OK could be my connection then I guess. Weird | 12:19 |
| melodie | Kilos I count with you to promote the Bento Openbox project, for it's the only light (non official) spinoff which allows anyone to tweak easily his desktop and make it even lighter than it is (Bento Openbox is slightly lighter than Lubuntu, and can be made even lighter if needed) | 12:21 |
| melodie | the Bento Openbox team is dedicated to make it become easier and easier for end users, with the project of creating this Openbox Control Center first, then on time, with improvements on the programs used from within it | 12:22 |
| Kilos | you need to start planning on making it official | 12:22 |
| melodie | Kilos I have that in mind and for now the next step is to make it known more widely and have many more people test it, use it, and come contribute | 12:23 |
| melodie | as long as we are only a few on a non regular basis, there is no official project. then later when we will have significantly worked on the dev projects we can push the next steps | 12:24 |
| melodie | Kilos the gitlab repos is very new, and the full filesystem for Bento Openbox is something I worked and reworked locally before I could think it's ready for the public. But now, it's online, ready to go! | 12:25 |
| melodie | it's one of the members of the project who gave me the idea of doing some mind mapping, so even before someone pulls in the tree directory, they can have a look at the construction scheme | 12:26 |
| melodie | now we need to create packages | 12:26 |
| Kilos | well hopefully with all the new peeps here there will be more to help out | 12:58 |
| melodie | here is the latest version, with a short presentation: | 13:03 |
| melodie | http://linuxvillage.org/en/2015/07/bento-openbox-trusty-soon-final/ | 13:03 |
| Kilos | well, another day gone by | 14:02 |
| Kilos | oh melodie you were right, i tried openbox on kubuntu and ended up with a black screen | 14:03 |
| Kilos | lucky i have kubuntu on 2 separate drives | 14:04 |
| Kilos | but you can still choose to use kde on booting | 14:04 |
| melodie | well Kilos you can use Bento Openbox then in it install any program from the KDE suite | 14:05 |
| melodie | ie : kdepim, calligra... and all is going to work flowlessly | 14:05 |
| Kilos | yes but then i need to download another iso | 14:06 |
| melodie | flowlessly? Is that the right workd? | 14:06 |
| Kilos | i already have bento on aqnother pc | 14:06 |
| melodie | word | 14:06 |
| melodie | you have a former version | 14:06 |
| Kilos | flawlessly | 14:06 |
| melodie | thanks ^^ | 14:06 |
| melodie | sounded the same :D | 14:06 |
| Kilos | i have 14.04 and no data to upgrade | 14:06 |
| melodie | do you mean no data for Bento Trusty? | 14:07 |
| Kilos | im happy with 14.04 until 16.04 is stable | 14:07 |
| melodie | yes of course | 14:07 |
| Kilos | i already have it running in 32bit version | 14:07 |
| Kilos | mobile data is too costly here to just play around | 14:08 |
| melodie | yes, I get that | 14:10 |
| melodie | don't forget that any download using wget -c will allow stopping and resuming: even after hours without connecting | 14:11 |
| melodie | "wget -c linktofile" | 14:11 |
| melodie | and Ctrl+C to stop | 14:11 |
| Kilos | yes thats how i get my isos ty | 14:11 |
| melodie | :) | 14:11 |
| Kilos | i love wget -c | 14:11 |
| melodie | you also know --limit-rate then? to keep bandwidth for other needs | 14:12 |
| Kilos | no need it has never bothered me before | 14:12 |
| Kilos | pc is fast enough | 14:12 |
| Kilos | and one good days i get 7mb/s | 14:13 |
| melodie | wao ! | 14:13 |
| Kilos | when the rest of the country is active i drop to 2 mb/s | 14:14 |
| melodie | aha, ok | 14:14 |
| Kilos | busy negotiating them to upgrade my tower to lte | 14:14 |
| Kilos | then can max at 20 mb/s | 14:15 |
| melodie | I don't know what lte is? | 14:15 |
| melodie | I'll brb | 14:15 |
| Kilos | QA google what is lte mobile broadband | 14:16 |
| QA | Kilos: "LTE (telecommunication) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_(telecommunication) :: "LTE (Long Term Evolution) - Definition and Description" http://compnetworking.about.com/od/cellularinternetaccess/g/lte-broadband.htm :: "What is Long Term Evolution (LTE)? - Definition from WhatIs.com" http://searchmobilecomputing.techtarget.com/definition/Long-Term-Evolution-LTE :: "LTE Mobile Broa… | 14:16 |

| ronaldm | zxsinclair: sorry I was away. Which ISP are you using? | 14:19 |
| zxsinclair | ronaldm: was running some errands myself. I am on uMax | 14:20 |
| ronaldm | zxsinclair: also try mirror.zol.co.zw | 14:20 |
| zxsinclair | ronaldm: mirror.zol.co.zw seems to work perfect and have versions up to 15.04 | 14:21 |
| ronaldm | zxsinclair: do they peer at the zinx? | 14:21 |
| zxsinclair | ronaldm: have no idea what u r talking about ;-) | 14:22 |
| zxsinclair | what I can reach is archive.ubuntu.org.zw | 14:22 |
| ronaldm | zxsinclair: archive.org.zw is firewalled to certain IP addresses and access is limited to local ISPs. You might need to send Kalpesh your uMax public IP for whitelisting | 14:24 |
| melodie | hi ronaldm and zxsinclair | 14:25 |
| melodie | would you consider adding Bento Openbox to your mirrors? | 14:25 |
