[04:45] <ArMedic> Anybody around that can help with a question?
[04:59] <ArMedic> slow boot
[05:00] <ArMedic> https://hastebin.com/weluzalozu.sql
[05:00] <ArMedic> 3 mins 2 seconds in (userspace)...way to long for a 'lightweight' distro to boot
[13:54] <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
[14:01] <Murii|linux> So far I arranged all the fonts and widget size and all that but maybe you have more ideas.
[18:01] <Yagurajf> hi
[18:04] <Yagurajf> help
[18:04] <Yagurajf> Does Lubuntu 17.10 work with kernel 3.16.48 ?
[18:05] <wxl> well let's see what the current kernel is
[18:05] <wxl> !info linux-generic artful
[18:05] <wxl> so, no
[18:05] <wxl> not unless you find a ppa somewhere
[18:05] <wxl> or compile it yourself
[18:06] <Yagurajf> thanks
[23:17] <mit_> hi
[23:17] <mit_> someone here?
[23:18] <wxl> !ask
[23:19] <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?
[23:20] <wxl> !info skype
[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
[23:21] <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
[23:22] <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
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <wxl> mit_: on 64 bit or 32 bit? and when?
[23:24] <mit_> wxl: on 32 Bit
[23:24] <wxl> when?
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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.
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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?
[23:29] <mit_> ubottu: thank you for the link
[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.
[23:30] <Unit193> (I'll link https://alternativeto.net/software/skype/ too.)
[23:31] <mit_> wxl: it's for my Dad, he is living in another country. The old machine is there.
[23:32] <mit_> Unit193: thanks
[23:33] <wxl> hey there's a matrix plugin for pidgin now, so you can just use that https://github.com/matrix-org/purple-matrix/
[23:34] <wxl> signal is currently only on mobile or a chrome extension but they should be releasing an electron app shortly
[23:35] <mit_> so which one discord or wire? somebody tested it?
[23:36] <wxl> discord is a gaming app?
[23:37] <wxl> i'd suggest matrix or signal, personally. they're both open source.
[23:37] <mit_> wxl: https://alternativeto.net/software/skype/
[23:38] <wxl> "All-in-one voice and text chat for >>>>> gamers <<<<<<"
[23:38] <mit_> wxl: sorry
[23:39] <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
[23:42] <mit_> wxl: you mean this? https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/214507138-How-do-I-install-Signal-Desktop-
[23:43] <wxl> mit_: yep.
[23:43] <mit_> wxl: so both are extensions. Thank you, have a good night
[23:44] <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
[23:45] <wxl> e.g. https://about.riot.im/
