| Murii|linux | Do you guys have any tips or tricks on how I can make the fonts smaller and overall the whole guy smaller? | 13:54 |
| Murii|linux | I'd aim for something like macos has in terms of scale | 13:54 |
| Murii|linux | everything seems too big | 13:54 |
| Murii|linux | So far I arranged all the fonts and widget size and all that but maybe you have more ideas. | 14:01 |
| Yagurajf | hi | 18:01 |
| Yagurajf | help | 18:04 |
| Yagurajf | Does Lubuntu 17.10 work with kernel 3.16.48 ? | 18:04 |
| wxl | well let's see what the current kernel is | 18:05 |
| wxl | !info linux-generic artful | 18:05 |
| ubottu | linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 4.13.0.11.12 (artful), package size 1 kB, installed size 13 kB | 18:05 |
| wxl | so, no | 18:05 |
| wxl | not unless you find a ppa somewhere | 18:05 |
| wxl | or compile it yourself | 18:05 |
| Yagurajf | thanks | 18:06 |
| mit_ | hi | 23:17 |
| mit_ | someone here? | 23:17 |
| wxl | !ask | 23:18 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 23:18 |
| mit_ | i tried to figure out how to install skype on lubuntu 16.04 for 2 days. Still no solution. I need help. How to install working skype? | 23:19 |
| wxl | !info skype | 23:20 |
| ubottu | Package skype does not exist in zesty | 23:20 |
| wxl | ^^ as you can see, we (ubuntu) do not provide skype in our repos | 23:20 |
| wxl | you would need to get it directly from skype.com | 23:20 |
| mit_ | wxl: I treid to install from skype.com debian package -> failed | 23:21 |
| wxl | mit_: are you running 32 bit or 64 bit? | 23:21 |
| Unit193 | wxl: 1. It was 'skype-bin'. 2. It was in the partner repos. | 23:21 |
| wxl | ah well there ya go | 23:21 |
| mit_ | wxl: 32 Bit | 23:21 |
| Unit193 | It's now 64bit only. | 23:22 |
| wxl | yep | 23:22 |
| Unit193 | (And a crappy embedded webpage in a client, basically. So no loss.) | 23:22 |
| mit_ | can't find that package because it's 32 bit | 23:22 |
| wxl | mit_: long story short, skype does not provide a solution for your installation | 23:23 |
| mit_ | wxl: :( | 23:23 |
| Unit193 | Well, there's https://web.skype.com | 23:23 |
| wxl | mit_: remember your complaint is with microsoft | 23:23 |
| mit_ | wxl: it worked on xubuntu | 23:23 |
| wxl | mit_: on 64 bit or 32 bit? and when? | 23:24 |
| mit_ | wxl: on 32 Bit | 23:24 |
| wxl | when? | 23:24 |
| mit_ | wxl: sorry for the line, yesterday. I don't remember which version that was | 23:25 |
| wxl | mit_: you mean you installed it yesterday? | 23:25 |
| mit_ | wxl: I installed it last year, and it was working yesterday. Then I decided to install Lubuntu on my old machine | 23:25 |
| wxl | mit_: and there's the problem. since last year, they made the product 64 bit only. | 23:26 |
| Unit193 | mit_: It'd let you login, but it wouldn't actually send messages. | 23:26 |
| Unit193 | Nor did it show people online. | 23:26 |
| mit_ | wxl: yes, I understand. so sad right now. | 23:27 |
| wxl | i would advise the following alternatives, in increasing order of recommendation: google hangouts, telegram, wire, matrix | 23:27 |

| Unit193 | Obsolete version, corresponding server interface is EOL; LP: #1701746 | 23:27 |

| wxl | you're probably better off, mit_. now you can seek open source solutions that will more likely support you into the future | 23:28 |
| mit_ | wxl: this programs works with web cam? | 23:28 |
| mit_ | ubottu: thank you for the link | 23:29 |
| ubottu | mit_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:29 |
| wxl | i mean for that matter, you can use Signal if all you want is the ability for one-to-one video chat. and you'll be entirely encrypted. | 23:29 |
| Unit193 | (I'll link https://alternativeto.net/software/skype/ too.) | 23:30 |
| mit_ | wxl: it's for my Dad, he is living in another country. The old machine is there. | 23:31 |
| mit_ | Unit193: thanks | 23:32 |
| wxl | hey there's a matrix plugin for pidgin now, so you can just use that https://github.com/matrix-org/purple-matrix/ | 23:33 |
| wxl | signal is currently only on mobile or a chrome extension but they should be releasing an electron app shortly | 23:34 |
| mit_ | so which one discord or wire? somebody tested it? | 23:35 |
| wxl | discord is a gaming app? | 23:36 |
| wxl | i'd suggest matrix or signal, personally. they're both open source. | 23:37 |
| mit_ | wxl: https://alternativeto.net/software/skype/ | 23:37 |
| wxl | "All-in-one voice and text chat for >>>>> gamers <<<<<<" | 23:38 |
| mit_ | wxl: sorry | 23:38 |
| mit_ | wxl: i need something with webcam to see my family | 23:39 |
| wxl | then get signal or matrix | 23:39 |
| mit_ | wxl: i will google it, thanks | 23:39 |
| mit_ | wxl: you mean this? https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/214507138-How-do-I-install-Signal-Desktop- | 23:42 |
| wxl | mit_: yep. | 23:43 |
| mit_ | wxl: so both are extensions. Thank you, have a good night | 23:43 |
| wxl | mit_: no | 23:44 |
| mit_ | wxl: no? :O | 23:44 |
| wxl | mit_: signal is CURRENTLY an extension, but they'll have an app available soon. | 23:44 |
| wxl | mit_: matrix is not an extension at all. there are various clients for it available, such as riot. | 23:44 |
| mit_ | wxl: ok, good | 23:44 |
| wxl | e.g. https://about.riot.im/ | 23:45 |
