[Bug 1720010] [NEW] can't log into Gnome - terminal or Unity work fine
Public bug reported: When launching my computer, I get the login screen. On entering my password, I get a small flicker of the screen and am not logged in. I can log in using the terminal (Alt-F2). Inspection of /var/log/auth.log suggests that interface, member and some other data are not correctly transmitted from the login manager to systemd-logind. After installing Unity, I can log into unity. When reading /var/log/auth.log, I see these lines: Sep 27 20:48:32 bigmomma dbus[764]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="error", sender=":1.0" (uid=0 pid=739 comm="/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.24" (uid=121 pid=948 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell ") Sep 27 20:48:32 bigmomma dbus[764]: message repeated 18 times: [ [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="error", sender=":1.0" (uid=0 pid=739 comm="/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.24" (uid=121 pid=948 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell ")] Sep 27 21:17:01 bigmomma CRON[3642]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Sep 27 21:17:01 bigmomma CRON[3642]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root Sep 27 22:17:01 bigmomma CRON[3686]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Sep 27 22:17:01 bigmomma CRON[3686]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root Sep 27 22:40:25 bigmomma dbus[764]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="error", sender=":1.0" (uid=0 pid=739 comm="/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.24" (uid=121 pid=948 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell ") Sep 27 22:40:25 bigmomma dbus[764]: message repeated 18 times: [ [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="error", sender=":1.0" (uid=0 pid=739 comm="/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.24" (uid=121 pid=948 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell ")] Sep 27 22:40:36 bigmomma gdm-password]: pam_unix(gdm-password:session): session opened for user jurgen by (uid=0) Sep 27 22:40:36 bigmomma systemd-logind[739]: New session 10 of user jurgen.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Android files Ubuntu
Hey Samuel, I'd be hesitant to go rooting my phone. For starters, because Android is basically a crippled down version of Linux, in that way that it's not made to have a seperate sudo account. So if you give yourself root powers, any hack on your phone can touch the whole phone (and wreck it). By rooting it, you're basically taking away the Linux security Android has...

Re: [Ubuntu-be] 3d printer
Hey Samuel, What's your plan? Where do you live? Do you have to print something once for a specific project? Or do you plan on regularly printing? In Brussels we have a hackerspace (hackerspace.be) with a 3D printer. If I recall correctly, the hackerspace in Antwerp also has a 3D printer. There's also the fablabs in Ghent, Hasselt, Brussels (and probably others too - just google for fablab) Possibly you can have a look here for people who can print for you: https://www.3dhubs.com If you really want quality and help with the design too, you could look into cr3do.be (a Hasselt startup specialized in creating and 3D printing). A few of them are friends of mine, they're really skilled. So now on the question what software you'll have to use: For designing, I tend to use FreeCAD, but others prefer OpenSCAD (more programming like approach). If you're already fluent with Blender, you can also do magic things with that, but Blender is quite complicated. I guess you can find tutorials online on how to use Blender for 3D printing. Anyways, your desired output from your design software will be a .STL file. For prepping the design to the printer, you'll also be needing something to translate the design into printed layers (and machine commands for the printer). For this step, you'll have to know what hardware your using, and make some decisions on resolution versus printing time. Typical prints on a 3D printer vary somewhere between 2 and 48 hours... For this last step, there's a few nice applications that work just fine under Ubuntu. There's Slic3r and there's Cura to name the 2 most famous. The first one is most powerful, the last one is more user friendly. If you're new to the game, I'd suggest you look into Cura. It can also show a simulation, and will show an estimate on how long a print will take (notice: in my experience, it was always about 25% too optimistic) Good luck and welcome in the 3D printing world!

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium
Yeps, I'm one of those goodbye and good luck people. I was on the camp for a more structured Ubuntu-be for a long time, but painfully discovered that we were with too little dedicated people and/or too big plans. I am now in the camp of local groups do great things and Ubuntu-be is actually just an empty shell. It creates expectations in the public eye that we can not accomplish. imo it would be better to have no official (sounding) body as this actually negatively impacts Ubuntu. People expect help, support, presence, etc... and we can't deliver (as Ubuntu-be). There also is no spokesman or central vision for Ubuntu-be. So as far as I'm concerned, I'm an enthusiastic Ubuntero. I love promoting Ubuntu. I will give support where I can, and every so often fail to help because I don't know enough too... I've been triggering Software Freedom Day for a few years now in our hackerspace, and always gave Ubuntu a nice spot in there. But that's just me and our hackerspace, that's not Ubuntu-be. The great events going on in Limburg, Izegem, etc... *woot* Great groups! They are Ubuntu in Belgium, but not Ubuntu-be :) My suggestion would be to organize the funeral of Ubuntu-be and invite all the great groups doing Ubuntu in Belgium. Grtz, Jurgen.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium
Tom, the strongest periods of Ubuntu-be were when one single person actually kept his shoulders under the project. In the past we had a few of these people. Thing is: ubuntu-be.org should set clear expectations: what (not) to expect: a spokesman, the official stance of Ubuntu on whatever Belgian activity, guaranteed support, etc... If someone stands up and is prepared to take leadership, you will quickly have a core team of somewhere between 5 and 10 or even more if you do a great job. If you're willing to take up this commitment, you'll be doing Ubuntu-be a big favour. Problem is, apparently this mythical figure called somebody we're all talking about and who'll do all the practical stuff like maintain the website, organise event booths, create content, etc... isn't on this list anymore. Not sure if he ever was. Please, do give it a chance. First things first - canonical approval is not a problem if you can prove you're active.

Hey Merlijn... I'll be replying in your mail... On 01-05-14 16:57, Merlijn Sebrechts wrote: # My thoughts I have never known the better times, since I joined this mailinglist only a few months ago. I do see reports from other loco teams around the world and they seem to be way more active than us. I personally find it very sad that*there isn't an ubuntu-be booth on fosdem*. I think next year, I'm going to try to make one, but I'll need the help of more ubuntu-be members. I think we need IRL meetings, because they make friendships stronger, and they make you feel more connected to the community. 2014 was the first year there was no Ubuntu-be booth on FOSDEM. The material is available. I also think there even is some budget (Jan Bongaerts, can you confirm?) We even invested in some rollups a few years ago because we thought we were be more active. There was a question on this mailinglist for volunteers - Sulumar actually asked about this on January 24th. He asked if there were volunteers. JanC replied he announced not to be doing it anymore in 2013. That mythical figure called someone had to take it over. Didn't happen. A consequence of nobody taking up leadership, guarding that things happened. Meetings IRL are great - it sparked a lot of energy in 2010-2012. But in the end the volunteers wanting to dive into Ubuntu-be were the same volunteers that were already involved in many projects. It's not easy to have IRL meetings if your members are scattered over the whole country and your key members all have busy agendas. But then again... good luck, if the time is right you could just spark a new animo. Would be great. :) # THE WEBSITE To me, the site only serves *two purposes:* - Give *information* about ubuntu-be community: meetings, members, events, .. - Give *support in dutch* Actually the only purpose of the Ubuntu-be site, was to facilitate the events we organise or visit. For support, we always refered to Ubuntu-NL or Ubuntu-FR (or others) The fact that big chunks of the site aren't translated, is because no volunteers were found to translate. Again... this creature called someone had lots of plans here... I think for the support part, it is better we team up with the ubuntu-nl people. Their forum seems to be very active: http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/. For the information part, we just need a very simple CMS that is easy to maintain.*I want to work on the new website myself*, but then I have to know how you guys want it to be. you guys = undefined. The current website is running Drupal. It's working and is pretty easy to maintain. Content is key here: nobody delivered content, resulting in a static site. If you do it, you make it. I'd say: make it small, make it modest. Not much more than referral would be cool. As for the Ubuntu-be support map: half a decade ago Mongolito wrote this great Drupal extension. But he lives in Canada now, and doesn't have time anymore to commit to this project. # MY QUESTIONS TO YOU 1) Do you want to help set up a booth at fosdem 2015? Since this year, I stepped into the FOSDEM volunteers team. I can split my time, but still want to see some content too... 2) Do you still use the website? If so, how? Nope. 3) What information would you want to see on the new website? N/A I rather have *no* website than a website showing we're not active.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium
Hi Jan, come to think of it... maybe the easiest would be to just create a *new* bank account, and start with that one... I think we can get some donations quickly. If Marc then transfers the existing funds to the new account, it might just be easier than doing the transfer. If we do this all through Keytrade bank (our current bank), I assume they won't be giving us a hassle over closing down the empty bank account. Otherwise leave €5 on it and that will be our 'hidden treasure' :) As for the website... I have the impression that we have some people stepping up at the moment. Who can give these persons author rights? (and in extremis 1 person webmaster rights) Grtz, Jurgen.

I don't have the skills or expertise to maintain a site, and I think maintaining a good site is key to the success of the project. So these are my two main frustrations a) Active members cannot access the account, so we can't do anything when money is needed. b) No-one is maintaining the site actively. We can't advertise who is actively involved, who to contact for what, etc. I'm supposed to be the LoCo contact, but how can I actively promote our group if the site doesn't reflect this? How can I actively lobby with press or government if I don't get a budget? Most of the people that were at the IRL meetings, are not active anymore, and most of the people that are active now, were never at an IRL meeting.

Let's get this going before we start root-cause analysis, and when need please team up where you can. Myself I'm not really good at using Drupal, I've build my own in HTML, but I sure could help cleaning up and updating. Your comments please?

There should be a team of somebodies, all doing somewhat the same, but in different locations. (Does that make sense?) Is there a need for a central organ? To me that makes it too complicated already, and might create expectations, that cannot be fullfilled. Anyway, there's need, i guess to promote ubuntu, as Bill said.

In the past we had a few of these people. Thing is: ubuntu-be.org http://ubuntu-be.org should set clear expectations: what (not) to expect: a spokesman, the official stance of Ubuntu on whatever Belgian activity, guaranteed support, etc... If someone stands up and is prepared to take leadership, you will quickly have a core team of somewhere between 5 and 10 or even more if you do a great job. If you're willing to take up this commitment, you'll be doing Ubuntu-be a big favour. Problem is, apparently this mythical figure called somebody we're all talking about and who'll do all the practical stuff like maintain the website, organise event booths, create content, etc... isn't on this list anymore. Not sure if he ever was. Please, do give it a chance. First things first - canonical approval is not a problem if you can prove you're active.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Fwd: Updates from ‘Ubuntu Edge’
I would really like to see this happen... but to be honest... I think this is basically a big marketing stunt. Setting 32 million USD as starting requirement and having such a steep deadline is almost guaranteed to not happen. This is a too big target to reach with crowdfunding. If you want to gather this kind of money, crowdsourcing is not the way to go/start. You need to find corporate investors first (at least for 50% of the goal), and then go advertise it. So yeah, they collected over 8,000,000 - that's a record. But it's nothing if it's not gonna happen (unless they have some hidden million dollar sponsors out there waiting for the last minute, just to hype it). Grtz, Jurgen.

Bloomberg, the financial information, analytics and news leader, pledged $80,000 towards the campaign in exchange for the Enterprise 100 perk, which includes a batch of 100 Ubuntu Edge devices and access to a range of Canonical workshops and technical support bringing Ubuntu for Android into the workplace. Bloomberg supports open innovation and initiatives, such as Ubuntu Edge, that align with our software development and business priorities, said Shawn Edwards, Chief Technology Officer at Bloomberg LP. With this investment, Bloomberg developers will contribute to an open technology initiative that could benefit our clients and have a powerful impact on the future of mobile computing. Bloomberg's developers are already designing and building software for advanced devices because our clients demand a seamless experience from the desktop to the mobile platform, said Justin Erenkrantz, Head of Web Architecture, a division of Bloomberg LP's CTO Office. Ubuntu's goal to offer a single-device solution for enterprise convergence and mobility is an exciting prospect and one that complements our vision for open development on the mobile platform. The Ubuntu Edge campaign has already exceeded crowdfunding records -- it raised $2 million in the first eight hours -- and support from such a high-profile company is a boost for us and other backers looking to get their hands on the world’s first truly converged computing device. The Ubuntu Edge will enter production for delivery in May 2014, if $32 million is raised before 11:59pm PT on August 21. It’s available exclusively via Indiegogo, and won’t be available to buy at retail. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge http://email.indiegogo.com/wf/click?upn=Ya-2FHTIBcULGv1cJzCEG3iSm8Cy11Z5-2FyqqTQa5dUu7qfqlGCqVDbn7jDrY2pS8XJaSKyVAWwxlpU1YFywsv2-2FQ-3D-3D_sRDhwvtwtzlRaf7unszwdgu-2BL9PsNivO7amckiha5jIRl0zH0LKfZyYKhN6RvZMZiss234jZ9fa-2FajIEM6ZwuYFllyV7KVlVf414O4AxFmRcC8wCP2GIZc05XgorpdCJN9-2Bp8ORjLgJzpw4go0GfjSBf179ZiWhFvGTiWHw1vWLoV5GqPRO5Adq0GbKVBDY0s5sEcdfWE0aSgb6X1tGQiQ-3D-3D Visit the

Salut à tous, Heya all... Something that might interest you. Hope you will all chip in and commit or participate in this event! Please forward!! Grtz, Jurgen. Original Message Subject: [HSBXL] Information and request for support to RMLL/WLSM in Brussels July 6-11 2013 Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2012 15:24:13 +0100 From: Nicolas Pettiaux nico...@pettiaux.be Reply-To: nico...@pettiaux.be, Open list for Hackerspace Brussels hs...@discuss.hackerspaces.be To: Open list for Hackerspace Brussels hs...@discuss.hackerspaces.be CC: organisation of RMLL/WLSM in Brussels (July 2013, 6 to 11) o...@rmll.be Subject : Information and request for support to RMLL/WLSM in Brussels July 6-11 2013 Dear, From July 6 till 11, 2013, we plan to hold in Brussels the World Libre Software and Culture Meeting (WLSM) also known in French as the « Rencontres mondiales du logiciel et de la culture libre». This would be only the second time outside of France after the July 2012 edition of Geneva. This will be the 14th edition of an event that is important enough to count about 1000 entries per day for 6 days, during which many peole from many diverses countries gather to speak about free software, free hardware and free culture. As such, it is also a meeting between developers, policy makers and general public. To get an idea of what it was in 2012, go http://rmll.info In Brussels, the event is planned to take place mostly at the Free University of Brussels (ULB), where the FOSDEM (http://fosdem.org) gathers about 5000 free software developers during one weekend in early February, and in the center of Brussels for some activities that we want especially opened to the public to have him discover the power and pleasure of free software, free hardware and free culture in general. Organizers of Fosdem know about Brussels as candidate for 2013 and have expressed some support. Indeed, RMLL/WLSM is complementary to Fosdem as Fosdem focuses on developpers only. The activities in the center of Brussels would typically take place on July Saturday 6 and Sunday 7. THe other ones, from 9 am till 10pm would take place on the ULB campus du Solbosch So far, as an event organized in France with many participants from France, Belgium, Switzerland, Africa, North America and other French speaking countries, the event has been mainly in French. We plan to have it even more international and with many more languages spoken, starting with English. (Although English was spoken during some sessions, especially the technical ones) The President of the ULB has marked a strong interest and support, the ULB facilities are available and are being reserved, student housing may be available. Some ULB teachers, including myself, have expressed their interest and support, at least moral, is already acquired, including professors Olivier Debeir and Jean-Marc Sparenberg Applied Science and Andrée Puttemans, Dean of the Faculty of Law. We are contacting other college and universitty professors, as well as representatives from private companies involved with free software. It is also likely that we have the support of the RTBF and the EBU, the European radio and television union that develops free software for its members and was strong in Geneva and whose chairman is the director of the RTBF. Several members of hackespace of ULB (urlab) are very interested in actively participating in the organization of these RMLL2013 @ Brussels, 14th name, including its coordinator Cedric Lood. We would very much like to have the participation of representatives from other hackerspaces of the world. We are in touch with Mitch Altman to hold during the whole week a « fabulous hack space » We write to you to ask for official support and mark of interest, if possible *before* Novembre 10, 2012 because we need to enter a complete file to support the project (see wiki.wlsm.be/index.php/Dossier_2013) Any support and involvement by you and members of your team and organization would be welcome. From the help towards the organization, support or participation inf the hack space, to participations to conferences, debates, allocation of some resources, help with contacts to national free software supporting associations, universities, hackerspace or any other help would be very much welcome. Do you think you and groups that you know can participate and get involved ? Could your institution and you put a some resource to help find further support, contact people from private companies to colleges, university and research labs or other parliament, and to circulate info ... ? Please do not hesitate to spread the word. Thank you for your support and for the information you want to share with us.

[Ubuntu-be] Artwork and publicity...
Heya all, as Wouter said... I'm pulling 2 wagons: first there's the great opportunity of artwork/printwork. We already have our rollups and flyers (in Dutch, the French one exists but someone needs to actually ask for them so we start printing). There's a few possible options for flyers or publicity... - obviously we could just make a new general flyer... - we could also make a flyer geared at schools and/or corporations (what's specially interesting for them? where find support? etc...) - a flyer can be made with special attention to the cloud (Ubuntu-One) - a flyer talking about Ubuntu as server is also an option (but I doubt this audience needs a flyer, but maybe rather a more technical approach) Some other ideas: - a new presentation (in Impress or maybe even better ... Inkscape/SOZI) with some eye catchers - a competition to make the coolest Youtube video promoting Ubuntu in Dutch or French. The winner gets some goodies... (f.e. a subscribtion to Ubuntu magazine for a year, or the first T-shirt in the new model, ...) - same idea for the coolest wallpaper So... did these ideas trigger your curiosity? Do you feel like participating? Get in touch - we could have a meet-up with the interested people, or just some online discussion if meeting would be too difficult. Feel free to contact me (0496 45 95 41 or this mail) for questions or suggestion. Grtz, Jurgen.

To help giving everybody a sense of what we are up to, I'll summarize it: 1. We're making *USB sticks*, *kawabill *is leading this 2. We're making a custom *ISO *to go on the sticks and have it available for download. The project leader is *Claudio* 3. We're gonna get new *shirts *(same design or something new, you might start thinking about it already ;)), since I (*wouter*) will be leading this, you can expect an update after my re-examinations 4. Further going in to branding, we're thinking about new posters and other *printwork *(we have some people asking us for that), *Jurgen *is leading this since he did a terrific job with our roll-ups 5. *Dipro's *might be getting less and less attention, but we stay active there since people know we are there and suspect us to! This is *community *effort, if you're free some day, come and join us, it's more fun than it is a burden 6. I (*wouter*) am making an *Ubuntu manual *and it's getting rather big, but anybody is free to add their contributions! 7. Our *website *feels like it's been left in the cold, and we wan't to help it. *Sulumar *is in charge of it but *JanC *and I (*wouter*) are happy to assist him! 8. In addition to that we want to spice up the activity of the landing page by adding a *Blog*. Now I know *JanC *is willing to put his efforts in it, but we need a platform to do that. 9. Our *wiki *is like any wiki: a mess! sorting things out and putting a little more structure in it is going to be my (*wouter*) job during the next year. But taking one step at a time, we'll leave it in the closet for some months since we already did a major clean up last year! (it's like cleaning a house, you're never done!) 10. We'll be present at other *events *as well *Software Freedom Day* for instance! *Jurgen *organizes an event at Hackerspace Brussels on September 22th and *Claudio *is prepping everything for an event in Genk In addition to all these ongoing projects (well, except the blog, that's new!) we're even going to ignite some new ones! 1. We want to start making *Courses *for schools and other people. *JanB *already gave some lessons and will lead this project together with *kawabill* 2. What we also want to do is turning ourself in a *VZW*, we haven't assigned anybody yet because we need to get some other things sorted first (bank stuff etc) 3. Now we already talked about a course and a manual, but what about an actual *Teachers for Ubuntu network*? Well, we're thinking about that stuff as well! The people from the course project (*JanB and Kawabill*) will lead this together with *Keltoum*. Having 13 things on the agenda, we find ourselves in a pretty cool situation - please spot the ironic temperature joke - with a fairly big amount of work but also with a super big amount of opportunity.

Hey all, In hackerspace Brussels we're having Software Freedom Day again on Saturday the 22nd of September. This year we're going to reach out to the 'general public' (through local newspaper, local computershops, etc.) To give some context, we are setting up: - a bunch of stands demonstrating practical user applications. 15min showcases in french/dutch, scheduled all over the afternoon; - the 'penguin bar' : a whitty team helping out people with specific questions (cfr the 'genius bar' in yr applestore) - a bar for drinks free pop-corn - a room with talks on software Freedom / activism - a game corner for kids to discover some nice opensource games - the bhackroom : security implications on using a computer - an electronics corner : discovering arduino and other opensource hardware Can you help us out in getting this done? We were thinking of ubuntu-be specifically for the 'penguin bar' and possibly some 15min showcases of user-applications you use/like and want to show to the general public. Send me a message if you're in! fyi: software freedom day also takes place in Ghent, Genk and Namur (and all over the world) on the 15th of September, so you don't have any excuse not to get involved ! :-) (mind you : we're organising one week later, on the 22nd) More info and the latest details: - http://www.hackerspace.be/Software_Freedom_Day_2012 - http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/index.php?year=2012 Grtz, for the SFD-Brussel team, Rafael, Jurgen (ea.) -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be

Super initiative! If you send me the ODT-file, I'll fix some language errors and typos.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] BelgianTeam - Monthly Report
Hi Jean, your mail looks like a good one to reply to, to offer feedback about the meeting we had with the Ubuntu-be council. We discussed this topic on March 1st - all 4 members of the council were present. This was the consensus we could agree on: What to expect if you're a council member? 1. having been involved in ubuntu-be for some time 2. promise to stay involved for as long as you are a council member 3. promise to try to be a good example inside ubuntu-be 4. be fair and have ubuntu-be's future in mind in case of conflict resolution. 5. make sure we don't spend more money than we have I know we had more ambitious ideas on the IRL meeting at my place - but now it seems the opinion has changed in the minds of the members. Basically it boils down to: empower the initiatives that happen. Important words that are missing in the consensus are: coördinate, invite, contact point, official body, maintain, organize, set objectives. I'm fully aware that this might sound rather frustrating and won't connect with expectations of many active members. If another council would arise, they are obviously free to decide what priorities and tasks the council takes up. We also kinda agreed that it would be good to have elections to allow for a new council to be elected. We talked about planning this on a next date - up to now no date was proposed to prepare this. I didn't do this either. Possibly a next Thursday night IRC meeting could have this on the agenda. If someone puts it on the agenda, it can probably happen. If a read IRC meeting happens, it probably would be a good idea to announce this on the mailinglist too. Bottom line: the council won't coordinate this report - obviously a member of the council could take this up on an individual level. Grtz, Jurgen.

Last time we spoke about this idea on IRC, somebody mentioned we might be able to hold a release party in hackerspace BXL. This would be great as it is a very central location. If we want to do this however, we need to: a) Ask permission (and get that permission) to hsbxl; b) Find some cool ways to promote it; c) Have some even cooler stuff to do there. Anybody else has an input on this? I'm member of HSBXL - the space is defenitely prepared to host this event. It just needs (a lot of) cleaning up at the moment. So in the near future, I don't think Ubuntu-be would be very happy inviting people here. If you do want to plan somethig: 1. get on the HSBXL mailinglist and ask/announce it.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu meeting
Is there need for a meeting? The plan is on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/IrcMeetings/Reports?action=AttachFiledo=viewtarget=ubuntu-be-irc-meeting-2011-09-22-report.txt Dates: (we should add those to our website calendar) Oct: 6 and 20 Nov: 3 and 17 Dec: 1 and 15 Jan: 5 and 19 Feb: 2 and 16 Mar: 1 and 15 Apr: 5 and 19 May: 3 and 17 Jun: 7 and 21 Jul: 5 and 19 Aug: 2 and 16 Sep: 6 and 20 So basically there's no planned meeting... unless there is need for a (practical) meeting. Hehe... yet again, we managed to talk about something that need to be done ... but didn't assign someone to it.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Win8 will block dual-boot?
devil's advocate-mode Well... to be completely honest... if you take the cell phone as an example... historically I've never been able to change the OS on my GSM. So in a certain way the same could be argued for computers... /devil's advocate-mode Hope the MEP's clear this one out, and MS hardware vendors start will grow a new conscience again... Maybe it's time (pre-emptive) to shout out in non-tech channels about the bad thing that MS is trying to pull off and how it will affect me and you and everyone... Here are some techniques that can be used: (and that marketing also use) - a photo of a crying baby has more effect than statistics on child mortality (use vivid examples, make it personal) - little near-future effects trigger more urgency than long-term bigger effects Obviously,there's also the option of FUD, but I agree that I'd rather not lower myself to that standard (even though it should be told if there actually is something to be afraid of).

Hey all, after some doubts and talks, I found a few people who also believed in the project to have an SFD event in Brussels. Hackerspace Brussels will be the venue. I'll put some information about Ubuntu along the side (and set up the Ubuntu rollup). If there would be a few volunteers from our team, a small demo stand could be made - or flyers could be distributed. Anyway, if you feel interested, a few people of the iRail project will to a talk, and we'll have a workshop on Inkscape. If you think you could give a talk or a workshop too... please volunteer.

Off-list, Jan pointed out to me that this generated a huge page (with
huge images visually scaled down, but still being downloaded on full-res).
Yep... this is a learning experience for all (or at least both) of us ;)
So I took it to the next level... and created thumbnails. Now I added a
link to the original image, and as description I added a thumbnail
image. Here's how the code looks now:

not that complicated after all. :)

this down)

Re: [Ubuntu-be] braai - report
Hey,
Kudos for organizing it.
Great report too, especially if it's your first wiki page!
I noticed you had some troubles with the images... the reason is pretty
basic: you forgot to add (or removed) the extensions... I fixed it for
you (plain Unix style: using the move command) :)
Then... in the article, I just made a few tweaks to have the images show up:
the markup for actually showing images is with accolades instead of
square brackets (those create a link) Furthermore, I added the alt
field and I scaled them down. This is the result:
{{attachment:AddyJanPieterWardWouter.jpg|Addy Jan Pieter Ward

Just thought I'd add it here, for teaching purposes :)

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Fwd: [Marketing] SFD Registration is On Campaign - We need your help
Hey Wouter, I think it depends on the animo we can get for it. Every railway station should have its own team (so they can order their own goodie bags - supplies) I'm in Brussels, and hope to find a few more people. If you do the same in Hasselt... great idea for me. I guess you could find 1 or 2 more people to have around you there...

[Ubuntu-be] Software Freedom Day - call for volunteers
Hey, I just launched a SFD event in Brussels - it's as basic as it gets, but it does just what we do best: set up a booth. :) Just looking for some volunteers. So here's the date: Saturday, September 17th Here's the place: Brussel Central Station. As Wouter suggests: if there's enough interest, a similar booth could be set up in other railway stations. So if you find 3 or more people in one city/town who want to do this: give it a shot. Set up a small stand at your railway station (subscribe on the SFD website, it gives you an advantage). If you're interested to participate in Brussels: reply in this thread (and put my in cc). If you're interested in organizing it in another city: announce it here, and put it on the SFD site. Here's the list (for Belgium): http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2011/Belgium/ Grtz, Jurgen. -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
Re: [Ubuntu-be] Software Freedom Day - call for volunteers
Apparently the problem is that you need asielrecht to organise an event in an NMBS-station. The prices are ridiculous: €600 for a booth (per day) €195 per person who hands out flyers (per day) But it's a different story if you do the same just outside the railway station - on the public road. In that case you need permission of the local authorities. To hand out flyers, that can often happen for free (f.e. in Brussels, except on a few banned places). If you want to do more (f.e. set up a booth), you'll need permission. For doing something public in Brussels like setting up a booth, you need to contact affich...@brucity.be and explain the cause/activity. That's exactly what I'm going to do now. Grtz, Jurgen.

Hey Maik, sorry to hear you're leaving. Every bit of input you gave, was valued - as it is from every member. So thanks for that. I also appreciate you're not just disappearing into silence but actually step down elegantly (as they say in Ubuntu land). I'm wishing you all the best in your private life. Getting satisfaction in life is possibly the ultimate freedom. :) Oh yeah... just one little thing: you're not leaving Ubuntu... I'm betting you'll still be using it. :) Grtz, Jurgen.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] ubuntu cd/dvd
Hi Martijn, Just wondering... what's your status on this event? Next Thursday (or if you're not available August 4th) we'd like to hear a little status update on this. Could you be present on the meeting? I didn't get any feedback on the installment meeting - did this happen? Grtz, Jurgen. On 06/06/2011 10:30 PM, martijn cielen wrote: I really appreciate your effort, but since it seems I'm taking the lead in the custom ISO project, I'd propose waiting for the installment meeting, in order to avoid multiple people working on the same thing, and other things not being worked on. I'll organize this meeting later this week. If it has been agreed that I'm not taking the lead, please ignore this mail. Now, for customization, I can tell you from personal experience it isn't as straightforward as it looks. Here's the steps I've taken before (from the top of my head, so might not be 100% accurate): 1. mount the iso in eg /mnt/iso 2. mount the squashfs in eg /mnt/squashfs 3. change the squashfs 4. recompile the suqashfs 5. change the iso using an iso tool 6. test I used this setup to created a customized installation cd for my client, using RedHat. The approach should be similar for Ubuntu. kindest regards, Martijn -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
[Ubuntu-be] Weekly meeting - let's have another one this Thursday
Hey all, we've been skipping a few Thursdays on the weekly meetings. Since it's holidays and there's not that much activity - I can really understand that. Previous meeting was in June, so I think it's getting time to launch another meeting. We start at 9 PM sharp and finish around 11 PM. (no dress code required, please bring your own drink) *PLEASE ADD YOUR ITEMS TO THE AGENDA!* I did some tweaking on the agenda page. Here's the basics: * I worked with titles and subtitles (semantically more logic) * I split events into past and future. ** future events: if someone has something to say about an event: please remove brackets. Topics between brackets just stay there as a reminder. * I split up promotion into running projects and ideas (I was tempted to call it ideas and brainfarts but refrained) ;) In a previous meeting-report I mentioned we were getting some free publicity in De Ledenaar (23.000 ex. printed + online presence). You can see it on this link (p. 4): http://issuu.com/martinvh/docs/den.ledenaar?mode=embedlayout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xmlshowFlipBtn=true Hope to see you massively on the next meeting. -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be

Hi Maik, welcome to the web editors team! What are your expectations? What are your skills? Is it your dream to write custom code?

Or is it more a thing of adding content to the site? (great too! Drupal is just cut out for that) What kind of content would you like to add? (what do you think is missing?) Or do you have ideas for structural improvements? (other front page, changing of the structure of the menus, etc...) Unless they are trivial, I suggest you make your suggestions during an ubuntu-be IRC meeting, or send a mail to the council (coun...@ubuntu-be.org) explaining your ideas. Obviously, it can also be discussed on the mailinglist. There's indeed also translations, updating pages, etc... that has to be done every now and then. (The part on maintaining updates to Drupal and all the used extensions, is probably part of Pierres job, I don't think it's a good idea to have 2 people maintain security unless you make clear agreements on whom does what) Really curious what your plans are on the site! Anyways, great having you in the team. Grtz, Jurgen.

[Ubuntu-be] Report IRC meeting 2011-06-09
Today, we made the report together (thanks to ietherpad). Here's the report: Participants (in random order): Jurgentje, massimo21, DarkEra, Warddr, pvandewyngaerde, RamiAdrien, JanC, wouter_vddn = Mobile Vikings lense = - this should not be an ubuntu-be project, unless there is some added value for ubuntu-be, but obviously individual users are free to try some stuff. - sound like interesting, but not a priority. - Warddr would like to look into it - if someone develops that kind of lense, some mutual blogging could obviously be done :) (but these are rather individual initiatives on both sides) = Custom ISO = Report online: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/IrcMeetings/Reports?action=AttachFiledo=viewtarget=ubuntu-be-irc-meeting-2011-06-02-report.txt Woutervvdn made some great wallpapers to vent his exam-frustration... Art Team can add wallpapers (or other artwork) RamiAdrien got a request from a computer space (espace numérique) to create a custom ISO for older people. This can be a nice challenge for after the Ubuntu-be ISO is finished (or if someone wants to put energy into this) RamiAdrien will have a Wiki Page and will maintain it. = USB Project = Monday evening there will be a meeting. = European Parliament = EPFSUG has an IRC channel #epfsug on OFTC (irc.oftc.net) ehj (on IRC) works in the EP. They are organising an Ubuntu-party in the EP, in collaboration with Ubuntu-be (somewhere in September). Woutervddn is active on this. There's a meeting in June (doodle: http://www.doodle.com/xn2i4p7g7g4hu8pe if you want to participate). This would be a small install party and some discussion/planning for September. If September happening goes well, there would be a big event in December. more info about the event here: http://pad.epfsug.eu/epfsug--ubuntu-be other epfsug activities at: http://pad.epfsug.eu/epfsug--projects Flyers for the EP: woutervddn looks to find something on spreadubuntu.com and localizes it (and sends it to ehj afterwards) = Braai = Jan Bongaerts is organizing... Interested? Have a look on: http://doodle.com/f2i9h2gsrsp6hz2i = Ordering of flyers and rollouts = Jurgen will order 5000 flyers (NL) and 3 rollouts Shipping will happen to his place - he will redistribute = Festivals and Ubuntu = If new information is available, we will tackle this on the next meeting. = Beta group in Brussels = RamiAdrien is in contact with Brussels betagroup - they have a great space to organize a big Ubuntu event. Next meeting this will be a major point. RamiAdrien will prepare the organisation.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] IRC Meeting about ISO, USB and European Parliament REPORT - 02/06/11
Wouter, you were (rightfully) complaining about the poor quality of the Impress templates in LibreOffice. I once collected a set of them online (don't remember where though...) I've put them on my dropbox - you can download them if you want: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7584025/Ubuntu_ODP_Templates.tar.bz2 (15,7 MiB uncompressed) They can be a basis for designing - or just the plain package for our localized CD imo... Grtz, Jurgen. P.S. For the lovers of Prezi... there's a great Inkscape plugin that creates similar SVG-presentations - it's called SoZi! On 06/03/2011 09:20 PM, wouter Vandenneucker wrote: *= ISO =* To make stuff easier for belgian users and to gain popularity we are going to make our own ISO. An Ubuntu respin with a few changes that make life easier for Belgian Users. We discussed this project before, more info about that can be found at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/LocalizedCD (these pages should be updated..) We need some people who take the lead in this project so it won't bleed to dead. Candidates to lead this project to victory, please step forward! The leader of the project needs to make sure stuff doesn't stall. Small decisions can be made entirly by the ISO team, that way we speed stuff up. *PROJECT GUIDELINES:* Note that these guidelines are a beginning, the ISO team should try to endorse these guidelines. The general ideas and guidelines of Ubuntu need to be taken in account. A target date should be set in order to keep things moving. (having the 11.04 ISO before 11.10 comes out is crusial.) Values: - We keep the official program choise of Canonical/Ubuntu but include a minor amount of programs and drivers that are on general interest for belgian citizens. - No change to the Restricted Extra options. (due to legal issues and ubuntu values) - Support to the Ubuntu guidelines - Endorse users to get to know their system (we can teach them with video's we make) - Canonical has put a serious amount of time in developing the software center, we should make people use it! - Keeping things simple - No 'special' programs or programs only usefull to a specific type of user. Needed: - Both a 32bit and a 64bit version - Fully supported languages by default: en, de, nl, fr (as default boot language English is suggested) - Based on Ubuntu 11.04 - Only Gnome classic and Unity interface - AZERTY by default - USB key should have an install icon on teh desktop once it is booted in live mode. - Default homepage in firefox should be Ubuntu-be.org. - E-ID program and driver Unwanted: - PPA's (at least for now as a PPA gives us responibility for security breaches) [exception for ppa's without security issues (see later)] - Extra DE's - Media players and other stuff that requires restricted extras - 'professional' software - Unity 2D (yet) (once we hit 11.10 it will be default fallback and stable enough for us to integrade.) - Software of which we aren't sure it's going to be supported for the time the ubuntu version is supported. Wanted: - (Pre-boot) GUI should list the 4 languages prior to the install proces - Possiblity for both a Persistent and a Pristine boot would be nice (U-fr uses only persistent) What we might want to add (later): - Instruction Videos should endorse our users to explorer and get to know their system, yet keep it simple enough for everyone to follow Videos showing apps that might be usefull for some but not for all can be handled here so people find their way to them.. - A PPA for Ubuntu-be containing LibreOffice Impress templates and Desktop Wallpapers is adviced. Due to the lack of goodlooking LibreOffice Impress templates, the Desktop Wallpapers are just a way to promote ourselves.. might be added later, no need to stall the project for this.. we could ask OSPublish to make us a wallpaper - We could make some dedicated distro's as well afterwards (a kubuntu one, or a rescue version..) -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be

Re: [Ubuntu-be] wegetit?
Well, according to others, it's not-done to post advertisements to a mailing list (especially not to one that is being archived - thus generating a permanent page on some pseudo-forum). But hey, if you prefer a mail falling into your inbox through the mailinglist over one falling into your inbox outside the list... who am I to complain. I think both ways would have resulted in some criticism. Grtz, Jurgen. On 05/30/11 13:07, Maik Adamietz wrote: Jurgen, I understand your point and think you are right. But however, that's my logical thinking, this person could have sent us a more personal mail explaining to us he has opened a (web)shop and giving us a real name who's behind this.
