Lol. Guess the part where I said "history" with a wink went over some
people's heads.

Re: [LUG] Github purchased by Microsoft

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

To be fair, the purchasing private company has a history of "acquire,
integrate, destroy" ;)

Also, gitlab (to where most people are moving) has an open source version
of its git software that you can use to self-host - which is something I
and others do.

Re: [LUG] Dovecot Help

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

Is the folder /var/vmail/domain.com/user empty?

Maybe the issue is how postfix is delivering the mail. You need to add the
setting:

virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail

 Sometimes that is a result of wrong ownership of the mail files.

[LUG] OT: Android Developer - Urgent

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

Hi Luggers,

I'm looking for an Android developer to complete a mobile app project. The
app is 90% done but I need someone who can cross the t's and dot the i's.
It's extremely urgent and will require at least 2 weeks of complete
availability, not part-time.

Please contact me *off-list*.

Thank you.

Peter

I'll also get in touch with Kiggs.

Possibly implementing DKIM, SPF & DMARC will help LUG mail be seen as more
trustworthy.

Re: [LUG] How can I Connect Mifi to router?

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

Not sure whether the mifi supports wireless bridging.

You say your router is a 3g router. Does that mean it can accept a sim card
and connect to a 3g network?

My Vodafone LTE purchase came with two sim cards that are on the same
subscription. So I use one in a mifi and one in a 4g usb modem that's
connected to my wireless router for my home network.

Gives me the best of both worlds.

[LUG] Introduction to Coding

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

Hi Luggers,

Are there any courses out there for young children (mostly preteen 9-12)
who want to be introduced to software development?

I'm asking for a non-techie mother who doesn't want to be told to find an
online course. She wants a physical human being she can talk to and ask
questions.

Thanks!

P

 It is early days so I can not say we have achieved vast amount, how ever

 fill is the representative from the LUG to the ICTAU. I have rec used
 myself, a) As I was on the forming committee b) Currently not living in
 Uganda. c) Too busy by far.

 This role is to me similar to the idea we came up with some months ago
 for OPTA, and the goals of that organisation I think could be filled by the
 LUG Committee/Chair.

 When are you next in town? Would be happy to setup a meeting with some of

I read the whole table perhaps I just don't understand what the benefit of
accreditation - by whom? as whom? - and branding is. Especially for an

Is this accreditation by the in-crowd? Is an ICTAU accreditation a

 As the former acting PRO I should probably give answering your query a go.

 The idea of the ICTAU is to form a associate membership body for IT
 professionals across the breadth of the IT Sector in Uganda. Your exactly
 the type of person we would like to have in the organisation. Someone who
 has good practical experience of working in IT and has an interest in
 improving and expanding the IT Sector in Uganda.

 It is early days so I can not say we have achieved vast amount, how ever
 we do already have good and close ties within the IT Industry and
 Government. One key role is to be able to actually lobby government
 effectively about issues facing our industry. As someone who has been
 outspoken about various issues on this forum, your voice would be an
 invaluable one to add. Especially in adding a practical knowledge of Open
 Source Solutions and how they can best suit Uganda. One role we have yet to
 fill is the representative from the LUG to the ICTAU. I have rec used
 myself, a) As I was on the forming committee b) Currently not living in
 Uganda. c) Too busy by far.

 This role is to me similar to the idea we came up with some months ago
 for OPTA, and the goals of that organisation I think could be filled by the
 LUG Committee/Chair.

 When are you next in town? Would be happy to setup a meeting with some of
 the board members if that would help?

- Social capital engine
- Jobline opportunities for members
- Platform for sharing success stories and management experience

 We are recognized by both the Ministry of ICT and NITA(U) and have their

Re: [LUG] ICTAU worth it?

[Peter Atkin]

Just to add my thoughts right or wrong

 

I'm an accredited Fellow of the British Computer Society, which  is a member
institution of Engineering Council UK is therefore responsible for
regulation of ICT and computer science fields within the UK, it's quite
recognised and  one can clearly see the benefits, in my case it adds status
and credibility to who I am and what I do, even as a fellow it's only
$145.00 a year to maintain my membership.

 

Being that the ICTAU is so new and how people are judged to be competent or
not seems very much at the whimsy of the board it's hard to see where this
may be going, it's a good idea in principle but the costs seem OTT given the
apparent  lack of credibility , how and who decides where this money is
going , how will it be used to better the ICT body,  increases awareness and
ultimately legitimize its status, what's in place to stop someone from just
buying status.

 

I have visited the ICTAU Site while looks OK albeit  light on information,
almost no information on the process behind the organization again in stark
contrast to the BCS site, while I know that the ICTAU is new it should at
least make public its members, process, meetings etc, or that what I would
have thought.

 

Have a look at the BCS http://www.bcs.org site everything is clear and
concise 

 

This is not meant as a downer but if you expect people to pay money you have
to justify it, as a test case believe  I would fall under  either

-  Individuals - Corporate @200,000/= which is what about $75.00

-  Or PRIVATE COMPANIES/ CORPRATIONS Level 3 @1,000,000 which is
about $380.00 membership I still want to know how and why you do things.

as would most members would be my guess.

 

I would have thought that starting this up a little lower key getting some
traction then going for the bright lights later may have been a better move,
now ICTAU is  faced with somehow getting loads of money to maintain itself
or face extinction, and that would not be good for the credibility of ICT
field here, Uganda needs this in my view.

Re: [LUG] Need a good mini board for Ubuntu

[Peter Atkin]

Hi Kyle,

 

I use Raspberry Pi, there performance is fair , Keep in mind these are meant
as educational tools  only, however saying that like the BBC Micro they are
versatile and robust.

 

I would advise if you want raw power the PI is not for you, it about the
best mini board for its cost no issues their.

 

Will see if we can get Ubuntu on it but can't believe given your
requirements with the GUI  that it will be very fast. It is very acceptable
as a media player.

u can checkout intel's minnowboard http://www.minnowboard.org/ which 2 me

Hi all,

Has anyone here tried getting Ubuntu to run on micro/mini boards like
the Raspberry PI, Hackberry, et al?

I've got some Hackberries but the performance seems to be weaker than
anticipated. Also, it requires a bit of technical trickery to get OS
images to boot.

I'm looking for a board with Ethernet, 2 or more USB ports, HDMI
output, microphone input, and decent processor/RAM specs. They need to
be able to run a front-end GUI (e.g. Gnome/XFCE) with good performance
and play videos at decent frame-rates. They also need to be as low
power as possible as the final solution will use solar.

Has anyone here worked with these kinds of boards before and do you
have any recommendations? The cheaper, the better, of course :)

Re: [LUG] How far are Ugandan 4G networks “4G”?

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

While wikipedia isn't the most trustworthy source, it's opening blurb seems
to dispute what you're saying:

3G telecommunication networks support services that provide an information
transfer rate of at least 200
kbit/shttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobit_per_second.
However, many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the
minimum technical requirements for a 3G service. Later 3G releases, often
denoted 3.5G http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.5G and
3.75Ghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.75G,
also provide mobile
broadbandhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_broadband access
of several Mbit/s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbps to
smartphoneshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone
 and mobile modems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_modem in laptop
computers.

Seems to imply that to be called XG, a network has to provide a minimum
transfer speed according to IMT-2000 specs. Now, the marketeers may be
misusing the terms, but shouldn't one expect a 4G network to provide a
certain minimum speed?

 Again, the G isn't a measurement for speed, it's a measurement for

 something newer, you increment one. In the USA, HSDPA is called 4G. In
 most of western Europe, HSDPA is known as 3G, or sometimes 3G+ or
 Turbo-3G or similar. It's a fairly worthless marketing term, that's
 it.

 Or were you referring to some actual speed claims in advertising I've

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

Hi all,

I'm looking for both looking-to-be-employed and looking-for-contract-work
workers with some/all of the following skills to work with a growing IT
firm:

- Web based development using HeiTML/PHP (HeiTML infinitely preferred)
- Database developers (MySQL  PostgreSQL) (experience in Redis and MongoDB
will result in instant job offer!)
- you know python? We need you.
- Linux system administrators

Please, please email me off-list. I'll deduct points for anyone who pings
me on-list.

Peter

Re: [LUG] [TechPost] Linux development Report: Samsung among top sponsors, Tizen closer than you think

I understand all that. Just think that your article doesn't clearly
point out that mobile contribution to the Linux kernel is actually
pretty minimal.

Android is all Google - so even with X billion Android devices, the
amount of actual kernel contribution from Google doesn't increase.

 Let's say Linux is getting mobilized of recent (2012-to date) from the
 number of cooperate sponsors contributing code to the kernel. Otherwise,
 since Android -- which runs on the linux kernel -- accounts for more than
 80% of smartphone marketshare already and still growing, then we can say
 that Linux is already mobilized. Couple that with upcoming Linux based
 Mobile OSes like Tizen, Sailfish, Ubuntu mobile and Firefox OS.

 Its absurd though, that Nokia which used to be a top contributor (back in
 the days of meego) has completely dropped out!

 Another interesting thing was that Ubuntu - probably the most well-known

Re: [LUG] Crossover Office on Sale

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

It's a fork of wine, developed by Codeweavers, which pays developers to
improve Wine and feeds back upstream to Wine. They're by FAR the largest
single source-code contributor to the wine project. They also employ Alex
Juillard as their CTO. He's Wine's project leader.

They first came to the forefront as the guys who got MS Office, Photoshop 
Installshield to run in Wine.

They got Steam running in Linux

They also host winehq.org, organize the Wine annual technical conference,
etc, etc.

 Interesting your commercial programming is on a private git server. (well,
 we have one too).



 We are really trying to move as much of our code off of that server
 though, into the open. So, all the modules  libraries we use are
 maintained whereever they have a public repo (and we collaborate there on
 fixes and enhancements), and only the final configuration of how they all
 blend together (if working for a private party that cares) is private.



 If it were only for the reduction in stress maintaining a big git server,
 its totally worth it.

 Let's quote what he says about github  git



 What do you think of github?

 It started as a place for mothballing unmaintained and unnecessary
 projects, and that is still most of what is hosted there. But it’s turned
 into a kind of World of Warcraft universe for programmers, where they are
 ranked by their commits and which projects they have trunk privileges on. I
 read about a recruiting company built around the idea that github
 reputation means something, so I guess if you aren’t committing to github
 you won’t be getting a job at the coolest startups. The good old days of
 writing FizzBuzz and moving Mt. Fuji during your interview are over.

 It sounds like you’ve soured a little on Git.

 The first Git For Dummies and Git Visual Quickstart books are going to be
 out in a couple of months, and that is the beginning of the end as far as
 I’m concerned. Those books mean the end of git expertise and github
 reputation as reliable indicators of geek status. Once a technology is
 adopted by the masses the extreme geeks find something more esoteric. Look
 at what happened to Ruby on Rails. The people stumbling their way through
 Rails to-do list tutorials have never even heard of DHH.



 So, apparently, you are ranked by commits, and which projects you have
 trunk privelidges on.

 Would that rank mean anything? And if so, what would it mean?

 negative character trait not to have shown interest in programming.

 Why specifically GitHub, though? While I do have an account, I don't
 really use it that much. I favour git over cvs/svn/mercurial, but I've
 my own server to push against. There's a certain social aspect with
 GitHub, I suppose, but you could (and I do) get that via mailing lists

 My guess is that GitHub was short and tweet-friendly, and that Not
 having shown any interest in programming whatsoever is like not

Hi,

You can't give normal users access to root's *.wine* directory.

As far as I know, you can't share a .wine folder between different users,
so you're in trouble. Wine removed the global registry option which
allowed one to do that.

You can spend some hours investigating system-wide WINE installations or

Best advice? Install OpenOffice.

Re: [LUG] not having a github account is like putting your resume in comic sans

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

Interesting tidbit in the story is a bit fishy:

And then he did what he had always done since he first started programming
computers: he deleted his bash history. To access the computer he was
required to type his password. *If he didn’t delete his bash history, his
password would be there to see, for anyone who had access to the system*.

Hmmm.

 We are really trying to move as much of our code off of that server

 maintained whereever they have a public repo (and we collaborate there on
 fixes and enhancements), and only the final configuration of how they all
 blend together (if working for a private party that cares) is private.


 If it were only for the reduction in stress maintaining a big git server,
 its totally worth it.

 Let's quote what he says about github  git


 What do you think of github?

 It started as a place for mothballing unmaintained and unnecessary
 projects, and that is still most of what is hosted there. But it’s turned
 into a kind of World of Warcraft universe for programmers, where they are
 ranked by their commits and which projects they have trunk privileges on. I
 read about a recruiting company built around the idea that github
 reputation means something, so I guess if you aren’t committing to github
 you won’t be getting a job at the coolest startups. The good old days of
 writing FizzBuzz and moving Mt. Fuji during your interview are over.

 It sounds like you’ve soured a little on Git.

 The first Git For Dummies and Git Visual Quickstart books are going to be
 out in a couple of months, and that is the beginning of the end as far as
 I’m concerned. Those books mean the end of git expertise and github
 reputation as reliable indicators of geek status. Once a technology is
 adopted by the masses the extreme geeks find something more esoteric. Look
 at what happened to Ruby on Rails. The people stumbling their way through
 Rails to-do list tutorials have never even heard of DHH.



 So, apparently, you are ranked by commits, and which projects you have
 trunk privelidges on.

 Would that rank mean anything? And if so, what would it mean?



 (@benjamin, yes, for programmers  sysops that publish their shell scripts

 My guess is that GitHub was short and tweet-friendly, and that Not

Re: [LUG] How to create Desktop shortcuts for MS office 2007 programs on the desktop

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

Granted. But Wine doesn't use the standard .desktop files.

Crossover creates .desktop files but I don't remember their location and
it's not standard. It also creates symlinks in the ~/bin directory which is
what I tend to use.

 That's a terrible way to do it, if we're talking about desktop

 ought to get you started.

Re: [LUG] How to create Desktop shortcuts for MS office 2007 programs on the desktop

However, just seen that Crossover Linux has the ability to publish and
share bottles (this is a self-contained installation of a windows
application or set of applications) so that multiple users can use a single
installation of MS Office, for example.

http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs/crossover-pro/officesetup

And like I wrote yesterday. Crossover is available today only for as little
as $11.17. Normal price is $59.95

Peter

P.S. If anyone knows how to duplicate this in stock WINE, or in
PlayOnLinux, please advise. I know not everyone is able to, or likes to pay
for software (*ahem*).

Well... S.u.S.E (*Software und System-Entwicklung*, meaning Software and

Then, when they wanted to create their own distro, they based it off (or

So who knows? Maybe Anansi will go on to forge their own path.

VSFTPD is broken on openSUSE 12.3 but PURE-FTPD works.

Install pure-ftpd

Edit */etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf* as needed.

Importantly, do NOT run *rcpure-ftpd start*

Instead, edit */etc/xinetd.d/pure-ftpd* and change *disable = yes*
to *disable
= no*

Then run *rcxinetd restart* and you should be up and running!

Re: [LUG] New NSA tool exposed: XKeyscore sees 'nearly EVERYTHING you do online'

[Peter Atkin]

I really would not worry about it too much no right now,  information
overload, they will need and I'm sure they are putting  a lot of effort into
search algorithms etc.. still a few years away, until quantum level of
computing power comes online this will remain only useful for targeted
information inquires, relying more on using AI  (in my opinion) 

 

And yes Quantum Processing is a reality all be it in the laboratory, so will
not be long until its becomes production in one form or another, not sure
that that will be a good idea or not as historically, if this was to happen.
Well if it's going to happen I'm hoping the Brits win this race.  (hope I
have not misplaced my faith)

Hi Kyle

 

Very good summary completely concur.. people forget that each situation
(Time, Place and Resources) are often different so difference approaches are
required, what works for one does not mean it will work for the other.

 

I am also tired of  experts that live in bubbles completely isolated from
other bubble and the real world.

Subject: Re: [LUG] Why the Silicon Valleys' of Africa will never match the
US Silicon Valley

 

Hi,

This is going to be a bit of an off-topic angry rant, but I'll add my two
cents here:

I'm really sick of going to tech events and watching panels of fly-in's from
the World Bank, established corporations, or whatever, tell us we need to
think bigger or that we should look at Silicon Valley as some kind of
model to emulate.

In my opinion this notion is ridiculous, primarily because the technology we
have access to today is fundamentally different than what Silicon Valley had
in its heyday. It's functionality has been crippled to benefit incumbents
and prevent disruptive technology:

1) Nobody has a public IP address. 

While we've bypassed the desktop revolution and jumped straight to
smart-phones, Internet access is now sold by mobile operators who NAT
everyone's connection. This prevents phones from receiving incoming
connections from the outside world. This makes peer-to-peer networking
nearly impossible and severely limits the potential functionality of mobile
applications.

As a result, application developers typically must purchase cloud services
in order to relay data between their users. Control over the network has
become centralized and established service providers have become
gatekeepers.

2) Data-caps. 

Silicon Valley exploded when users moved from AOL, CompuServe, Prodigy, and
other services -- which sold walled-garden access by the minute -- to
flat-rate Internet plans sold by speed (e.g. dial-up, DSL, cable).

Users did not have to make a cost decision every time they wanted to try out
new (often higher bandwidth) services like multi-player gaming, Napster,
Shoutcast, YouTube, MySpace, or whatever. Thus, new services frequently
emerged, many exploded in popularity, and networks had a huge incentive to
reinvest in their networks.

In the wondrous desktop-skipping mobile revolution of today, access is sold
almost exclusively via data-capped bundles. Users need to make a cost
decision every time they do anything on the Internet. Disruptive, often
high-bandwidth services like YouTube are now an impossible proposition
because users can't afford to use the service. Service providers no longer
have as much incentive to reinvest in their networks. Application developers
shuffle around small amounts of data between users and nothing more.

In summary, expecting East Africa (or anywhere today) to emulate Silicon
Valley is ridiculous. We can't be the same thing; we don't have the same
tools.

Regards,
Kyle Spencer

Re: [LUG] why 'hacker' stood up against verbal abuse

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

If you follow LKML regularly, you'll know that this isn't the first time or
last Linus has been rude to developers (anyone remember the furore with Con
Kolivas a few years ago?) so it's just a storm in a teacup.

Sharp will either go the way of CK and stop contributing, meaning someone
else takes over, or it'll blow over and our beloved dictator will keep
maintaining the kernel.

It would be interesting to see how many would miss Linus if some of the
more abrasive high-profile kernel maintainers like Andrew Morton and Alan
Cox were to take over maintaining the mainline kernel!

Re: [LUG] why 'hacker' stood up against verbal abuse

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

Oh, and this is fun:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/15/linux_for_workgroups/

The first release candidate of version 3.11 of the Linux kernel has
arrived, and to commemorate the occasion, Linux creator Linus Torvalds has
given the kernel a new codename and a new, Microsoft-inspired boot logo to
match.

As of Sunday, Linux kernel 3.11 is officially named Linux for Workgroups,
borrowing the moniker Microsoft gave to Windows 3.11, way back in 1993.

What was harsh about that?

Windows.

Now, if I used terms like M$ and Winblows, then you'd have grounds for

Peter Atkin,

how exactly did we handle the request badly? We're handling it to the best of 
our capabilities without straying outside the scope of this group. One asked 
for the firewall specs; one looks for network errors at the metric level (where 
the problem would be largely OS-independent); two reflects on the fact that 
many people (including Microsoft itself) gave up on ISA a long time ago; one 
person suggests that a Microsoft-specific problem might be more successfully 
answered in a group thus geared. So far, I see nothing you could complain 
about. If one asks about the solution to a tricky MS problem in an LUG, the 
answers will tend to stray towards get rid of MS, because that solution 
worked for many of us.

Besides, an LUG is a special-interest group, not a maid service. We're all 
doing this because it interests and moves us, not because we are being paid for 
answering people's questions. Even if we were to be harsh (and just to be 
clear, we weren't; in fact, this group is one of the most OT-tolerant LUGs I've 
come across), one has no right to complain if the answers one seeks aren't to 
be found here. Especially not if the question is off topic.

Reading in at least some capacity do not use (nor particularly like) MS does 
not in any way state mutual exclusivity, or total dislike of Windows. 

 

Now, if I used terms like M$ and Winblows, then you'd have grounds for

 Should the bank warn you that you are eating into your savings too?

 No if they took the airtime and you got no value, that would be robbery.*

Smile is extremely fast but their pricing still doesn't make sense. They
offer the same size bundles as Orange (and others) at approximately the same
price, yet their service is capable of consuming them 50x as fast. 

They have an unlimited plan but are apparently unable to cap the speed  so
the cost is like 3m/mo or something ridiculous.

Re: [LUG] [TechPost] Airtel Vs Orange Uganda Data Service Deathmatch - TechPost

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

Wow!

But Joshua, you shouldn't need to do all that! That's the point - the
networks should provide an option so that your number can ONLY use data
when there's an active bundle. Shouldn't be too hard to do.

Personally, I use a free app to monitor my usage, so I get a clear warning
when my bundle is about to expire. But, to make matters worse, Airtel
doesn't allow me to top-up my bundle, so I can't (like I do on Internet
Everywhere), add data before my current bundle expires.

 To protect my airtime from robbery, I load only enough for the bundles
 that I need, have it deducted immediately so that when the bundle runs out,
 there's no airtime to loose.

 For example 20,000 for monthly Pakalast covers calls to Airtel and Warid,
 5,000 SMS bundle, 40/= per SMS to all networks, then Data bundle as the
 need arises. So I can call most people, SMS all and browse with 0 balance.

 I then keep unscratched airtime cards on me for when any of the bundles
 runs out.

 For calls to networks outside the marriage, I load airtime on the  MTN
 number which has no subscriptions to any services so I'll find it still on
 phone even if I don't make any calls for days.

 In short, keeping unused airtime in your wallet is safer than loading it.
