melodiehello!13:23
melodiewhat's up?13:23
melodieanyone has seen Kilos?13:24
grembleHey melodie 13:26
melodiehello gremble 13:26
grembleHaven't seeh him around, but I've been afk for most of the week as well13:26
melodieand afayk what's up here?13:26
grembleNo idea. 13:27
gremble:P13:27
melodieomg!13:27
melodiewhat are we going to become? :D13:27
gremble:P13:28
melodiedoes someone else here have news? superfly are you around?13:28
superflymelodie: DebConf16 is in Cape Town13:30
melodiesuperfly wao wao! are you a Debian user, and is Kilos there?13:31
superflymelodie: I am a Debian user and contributor, I have a package in the Debian (and Ubuntu) repositories13:31
melodieand have you read that Debian might get a ppa place in the future?13:31
melodieI think you told me about your package once, a kind which I don't use I think13:32
superflyNo, I didn't. Sounds good, though I never found it difficult to find a sponsor and get my package in.13:32
melodieyou are lucky!13:38
melodieI'd like to know someone who has packaging skills for the Bento Openbox project and for a few programs one particularly, which is now orphan and is very good to have13:39
melodieit's xsettingsd, it can replace gnome-settings-daemon and has had a patch from Unit193, so that it complies fully with the freedesktop.org standards, and his patch was added upstream13:40
melodieso if you know people who can add themselves to the list of Debian packagers, and are willing to contribute with light pieces of software, I'd be interested13:40
melodieto know one ore more13:41
superflymelodie: if you can do the packaging, all you need is a mentor.13:41
superflyer, sponsor13:41
melodiesuperfly I delay the moment when I'll start doing that, because there are tons of details to fix before13:42
melodieand I can't become an official Debian developer, I don't have developing skills. At best I might do PPA packages, following the Debian and Ubunt guidelines13:43
melodieand probably with heavy help from the Debian and Ubuntu mentors/devs13:43
melodieyou should believe me: I would like to have more skills, but I have to face the reality13:44
melodiebecause I tried before :)13:44
superflyDebian developers are not developers, they're just packagers13:47
superflySome of them do some development, but that's not necessarily specifically related to what they do with Debian13:47
MaNIthere is some skill overlap sometimes :P13:50
melodiehi MaNI 13:58
melodieit seems to me that kill overlap is often there really and quite useful13:59
MaNIfor more complex packages it would probably be difficult to deal with problems without at least a decent knowledge of how programming works I would think14:01
melodiejust saying, if someone here would want to adopt Ubuntu Builder and continue developping it, it would be lovely14:01
MaNI(especially c++ projects)14:01
MaNIfor smaller stuff its maybe not as important14:01
melodiethis is Ubuntu Builder: http://linuxvillage.org/en/2015/07/ubuntu-builder-original-tutorial/14:02
melodiethe UI is great, it works wonderful, allows making spins quite fast with mostly knowledge of command lines and of the file system tree14:02
melodieand it's written in a language that not many people like as it seems. Gambas14:03
melodieI have ported the whole pdf from his repos to this page, to make it easier to show14:05
melodiehoping someone can be interested in the future (not too far in the future :D )14:06
Kiloshi superfly 15:52
Kilosgreetings inetpro melodie gremble nlsthzn smile and others 15:53
melodiehello Kilos !15:55
melodieyou are mostly the one I wanted to see here! :D15:55
Kiloslol15:55
Kilosi thought so15:55
Kilosive been out of it for some weeks now15:56
Kiloshow are you girl?15:56
melodieKilos I am very excited to tell you I am now working on Xubuntu in Ubuntu Builder : to build the next Malinux, distro built on Ubuntu by a great guy who now lacks time and needs a hand15:56
melodiehopefully I will succeed it making it right, the way he had done with the 12.04 version15:56
Kiloswonderful15:57
Kilosnow  you gonna be even more busy15:57
melodieand also I am thinking of sending the specific files to gitlab, in the Bento group, as "Malinux" project, so others could reuse it15:57
melodienot really more busy, if I can get through this one, then upload then people can test it15:57
melodieand they can provide feedback too perhaps?15:58
melodieat least some of the guys here who have a somehow decent connection?15:58
melodieI still have some details to fix, but I'm now almost ready to build the first test iso15:59
Kiloswlee melodie give the links here and on the africa channel and lets hope15:59
Kiloswhew15:59
melodiethis is a teaser, I'm working on it right now and it's not yet online. 16:00
melodieonce built, I'll test in virtualbox 16:00
melodieand depending on the result I might put it online, or not, as a alpha 16:01
melodieand if that is ok as an alpha, I'll ask the author of the spin if I can upload the files to gitlab :)16:01
Kilosnice16:02
Kilosgood luck16:02
melodieand now, do you have a LUG from Mali?16:02

Kilosoh melodie you havent met nlsthzn he is a za guy working in UAE16:12

Kiloslolol16:14
melodiethe guy has done strange things tech speaking in there16:14
nlsthznwell the issue is cross distro and even on debian 816:14
melodieas Kilos says, what would you think about trying Bento Openbox?16:14
melodielet me show you16:15
melodiehttp://linuxvillage.org/en/2015/07/bento-openbox-trusty-soon-final/16:15
nlsthznI don't like the idea when I install an application I have to go and create a menu entry for it in openbox, or has that changed?16:15
melodieit's final now but I didn't write the presentation yet16:15
melodieyou don't have to, there is openbox-menu installed  and configured16:16
melodiethis is an Openbox for all16:16
nlsthznit won't solve my issue :p16:16
melodienlsthzn it's explained here: http://bentovillage.me/16:16
melodienlsthzn you don't know that16:16
nlsthznthis is true16:16
melodieI have paid attention to what packages I included for the sound16:16
nlsthznso it won't work in 14.04, mint 17.2 or debian 8 but in bento it will because...?16:17
melodieif it's not a matter of packages it might be a matter of hardware, or specific setup, then if Bento Openbox does not help, I know someone on another chan who will be able to help you with the config16:17
nlsthzn:p16:17
nlsthznI will consider it when the distro hop bug bites... thanks for the enthusiasm :)16:18
melodieI don't know if it will work or not, I just say there are more chances, because I added things that they don't add in the other editions16:18
melodiesuch as non free firmware, or alsa-oss and more...16:18
melodiewell you can grab it any time for a whirl as live cd or in virtualbox16:19

kulelu88all good and you? gremble 18:38
kulelu88superfly: do you work with pandas or matplotlib?18:40
superflykulelu88: I haven't worked with either. I know of matplotlib and I've heard of pandas (I think)18:41
kulelu88aah okay thanks superfly 19:02
kulelu88what exactly is that typeface thing? 19:02
Cryterioninetpro - are you around?19:20
Cryterionand hi everyone19:21
Cryterionmaaz: it's late19:23
MaazCryterion: Huh?19:23
CryterionMaaz: you're a bot!19:24
MaazCryterion: Sorry...19:24
grembleI am well thanks kulelu88 19:24
Cryterionheya gremble19:24
grembleHey Cryterion 19:25
grembleThe whole font thing is a bit weird to me19:25
grembleI'm not even sure what kind of font I am currently using, but it works perfectly for me19:26
kulelu88Maaz needs some NLP19:32
Maazkulelu88: What?19:32
kulelu88gremble: so its a thing about fonts?19:32
superflykulelu88: sorry, was caught up in minetest. it's a font.19:42
kulelu88eeek I think I'm still on the local minetest server :D19:43
superflykulelu88: thatgraemeguy's server?19:50
kulelu88yeah, same one19:50
kulelu88you guys built mansions there19:51
grembleWho here is good with css?19:55
kulelu88gremble: I may be able to assist19:56
grembleI have a table that I don't know the size of before hand, however, I want the cells to fit the content. width: auto almost works, but I want the cells to have the size of the largest one19:58
kulelu88that sounds more like a need for javascript combined with css19:58
grembleThat will make me sad19:59
kulelu88gremble: screenshot?20:00
gremblehttp://grump.xyz/2015/08/24/Propositional-Logic/ I'm working on this post and the tables I have there work for what are in them now. I changed some glyphs to mathjax because on my phone the biconditional glyp is bright red20:01
grembleNow it is slightly longer than what fits comfortably20:02
kulelu88gremble: space them out with spaces I guess20:06
grembleI switched from the glyphs to complete latex, now it fits. Thanks for looking anyway kulelu88 20:07
kulelu88np gremble 20:08
