[05:18] (Photo, 720x1280) https://i.imgur.com/px49EPq.jpg [05:18] Daily image install failure 11.09.2018 [05:20] I am running it again [05:25] The plus side is the live USB booted with all three monitors connected - yeah 😀 [05:27] failed in the same place 74% - maybe the site it is trying to contact is down. Will run the installer from a terminal to see any additional output [05:41] here is the last part of the terminal window >> https://pastebin.com/9M2KXa7t [05:41] I will try again in around 1 hour unless a message here says otherwise :) [09:01] Been too busy atm - sorry will try again tomorrow [09:28] innerdev was added by: innerdev [16:20] I have my launchpad set up. https://launchpad.net/~thewendypower [16:49] Hello. Can you help me with HiDPI somehow? I have 15'' laptop with 1920x1080. All elements are way too small. What can I do besides font size increase? [16:50] If it's on any other Lubuntu release than 18.10, please go to https://telegram.lubuntu.me/support for help [16:51] Thank you, sorry. Delete those messages please. [16:53] @innerdev [Thank you, sorry. Delete those messages please.], No problem, thanks :) [17:35] @TheWendyPower has now officially been added to ~lubuntu-art so I think we should announce our new member @tsimonq2 [17:39] uhhh [17:39] not sure where you got that from [17:40] `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vantuz/cool-retro-term && sudo apt update && sudo apt install cool-retro-term` and you should be done [17:40] NOT bugs-launchpad-net-falkensweb [17:40] but vantuz [17:40] i'm quite sure that other business would 404 [17:40] argh wrong channellllllllllll [18:08] @wxl [ @TheWendyPower has now officially been added to ~lubuntu-art so I think we …], Sweet! [18:08] Welcome @TheWendyPower [18:09] I can announce [18:09] @TheWendyPower Do you have social media or a website I can link to? [18:10] The only website is my professional photography site. [18:11] you should make a wiki page [18:11] (and then we can work on making you an ubuntu member) :) [18:18] I'll crank out a newsletter this afternoon wxl [18:47] @wxl [ (and then we can work on making you an ubuntu member) :)], This [18:48] Hi there, I'm a beginner Python dev with some experience in creating fake websites with HTML + CSS, my website is: musimatic.net [18:48] How could a beginner like me contribute to Lubuntu? [18:49] I was told to check this out by wxl earlier today [18:50] Well, you've done the first step, which is to idle here :) [18:50] @tsimonq2: welcome center? [18:51] lubot: Ha gotcha [19:20] are there any beginner related projects though or is it just purely based on requests by users? [19:20] like do you guys use support tickets, or Git Hub responses? [19:21] there may be some projects that you can help with. that welcome center i mentioned to @tsimonq2 is one such thing, perhaps. i'm not sure what he has planned [19:21] as far as existing projects are concerned, there are always bugs to fix [19:22] one thing i should mention is that the upcoming 18.10 release is going to be a big change. we'll be using lxqt instead of lxde [19:22] and calamares instead of the usual ubiquity installer [19:23] we have our own phabricator https://phab.lubuntu.me/ [19:23] that's kind of our "development center" if you will [19:24] but most bugs are tracked on launchpad [19:24] the ones affecting packages within our jurisdiction should be found within ~lubuntu-packaging https://bugs.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-packaging [19:25] in general most bugfixes should be pushed upstream unless they're lubuntu specific (e.g. the lubuntu-default-settings package) [19:25] does that help, Wafficus ? [19:27] Totally [19:27] thanks man [19:27] so i'd say pick around and see what questions you can come up with [19:28] one *BIG* place you can help out with is looking at bugs on current supported releases and seeing if you can confirm or clarify them, i.e. do bug triage [19:29] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Triage [19:29] the other place you can help with (if you have a spare computer or are comfortable with virtual machines) is with daily image testing https://phab.lubuntu.me/w/testing/ [19:29] that ought to keep you busy for a while XD [19:30] one other thing i'll mention: you can learn a LOT just by sticking on #lubuntu and trying to help with people's questions. you might not know the answer but in searching and seeing if you can't find the answer, you can learn a lot [19:37] for sure [19:37] I love VMs too [19:38] I got a Windows gaming rig that could do this from time to time for automation testing [19:38] I mostly use a 4 gig Lubuntu laptop for dev [19:43] probably could run VMs on the weekend for sure though [19:43] that machine is a beast, 16 gig ram, i7, etc [19:44] I prefer the Lubuntu laptop for dev stuff though cause I prefer terminal based applications these days anyway [23:11] everyone will be happy to know that i revised my irssi config so now the channel name stands out like a sore thumb XD [23:19] FINALLY [23:45] For official Lubuntu announcements, usually just blog posts: https://t.me/LubuntuOfficial
