Howdy!

IT'S NOT the meeting where you are supposed to have a laptop in hands taking meaningful notes;
IT'S NOT the kind where you must hold your cellphone at all times to Twit-Pic-Blog real-live;

Welcome to the only technomeeting in town that leaves your hands free to grab a beer instead.
(or two, of course)


See you ALL on this Tuesday, 6PM @ Freebird Café on 240. If we are all that many, we'll be in one of
the private rooms at the back or upstairs, ask the (always) friendly staff.

the Usual Suspects:
Chantra, Jean-Philippe, Viirak

Hi Community!


For all of you from within Cambodia that used Tropical Ice Cube and its 012 825 645 phone line to order your copy of your favourite Linux Distribution disc for free, it's over alas (hey, I am moving away from Cambodia, I can't help it).

 

It has been great times, these Tropical Ice Cube days; but now it comes to an end alas.  I have to thank all people that supported the project with blank discs and free bandwidth, and the many people that just supported me in advertisement, tech help and other friendly hands: Thanks, thanks && thanks!

 

I am proud to have helped moonOS move forward with its own website and forum, and I will keep on as Editor of the moonOS website and moderator of the moonOS Forum, as well as answer tech posts on the Phnom Penh Linux Users Groups. And keep an eye on BarCamp PP of course.

 

Bye everybody, it was great fun :)



If you do not have the bandwidth to download the latest version of a Linux Distribution yourself, you can, should and must write (& subscribe) to the PPLUG - the Phnom Penh Linux Users Group mail list, and I am sure there'll be a good soul over there who'll download and burn it for you.

pplug.net - groups.google.com/group/pplug


The Tropicalicecube will stay connected, and will keep on helping! (only from much far away)
Cheers!

Cambodia on the Network Map ! PDF Print E-mail
News - Open Source News
Written by Master Penguin   

Yesterday with the PPLUG (Phnom Penh Linux User Group), we celebrated the 'coming' of Cambodia in NM at our weekly gathering.

No sooner did I notice that afternoon on a fresh install that NetworkManager 0.7.999-2 boasted both 'my country is not listed' and 'Cambodia', I switched my laptop to sleep in order to try this with friends (and beer) only. Time to celebrate!

Right there, yesterday night at our 'beers'n'bytes usual waterhole, I plugged my phone, selected 'Cambodia', then Mobitel, then my plan, and seconds later I was browsing away...


So, we had a second beer then, honoring Dan Williams of RedHat for his help to us, exotic nerds on the other side of the planet. That was a quick, cool and fastly solved bug report!

Cheers community.

Fedora 12/Ubuntu 9.10: 3G issues PDF Print E-mail
News - Open Source News
Written by The Tropicalicecube   

At the time of the Fedora 11 release, I didn't push anybody to upgrade to 11, while I've been a Fedora fanatic since F7. There was nothing wrong in F11 per se, only, it was slow, looked a bit bland... Now comes F12, that I recently installed, and updated (as of 08/02/2010):

 

Ouch.

 

GSM's 3G networks are still not working, while I know from reporting bugs to Dan Williams of RedHat that these people work hard to get it right... And it supposedly is, in so many other instances.

 

I have ben trying Ubuntu 9.10 too (9.04 was perfect in that respect), with the same not-even-pretend-to-connect isue; I know it's a broader problem because on my Music Workstation, a big deskop running a networlkless UbuntuStudio910, I installed the lot and it works there... I should file more bug reports, but I don't know where to start anyway!

So I advise, if 3G/EDGE is vital for you, that you stay away from F12 and U910 for now, alas. It may be particular to Cambodian networks.
I'll update as soon as I see it fixed; Curently, Debian Squeze and Sabayon5.0 do very good with 3g.


 

Cheers geeks & geekettes!

Jean-Philippe
