 Daily image install failure 11.09.2018
 I am running it again
 The plus side is the live USB booted with all three monitors connected - yeah  😀
 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
 here is the last part of the terminal window >> https://pastebin.com/9M2KXa7t
 I will try again in around 1 hour unless a message here says otherwise :)
 Been too busy atm - sorry will try again tomorrow
 I have my launchpad set up. https://launchpad.net/~thewendypower
 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?
 If it's on any other Lubuntu release than 18.10, please go to https://telegram.lubuntu.me/support for help
 Thank you, sorry. Delete those messages please.
 @innerdev [Thank you, sorry. Delete those messages please.], No problem, thanks :)
[17:35] <wxl> @TheWendyPower has now officially been added to ~lubuntu-art so I think we should announce our new member @tsimonq2
[17:39] <wxl> uhhh
[17:39] <wxl> not sure where you got that from
[17:40] <wxl> `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] <wxl> NOT bugs-launchpad-net-falkensweb
[17:40] <wxl> but vantuz
[17:40] <wxl> i'm quite sure that other business would 404
[17:40] <wxl> argh wrong channellllllllllll
 @wxl [<wxl> @TheWendyPower has now officially been added to ~lubuntu-art so I think we …], Sweet!
 Welcome @TheWendyPower
 I can announce
 @TheWendyPower Do you have social media or a website I can link to?
 The only website is my professional photography site.
[18:11] <wxl> you should make a wiki page
[18:11] <wxl> (and then we can work on making you an ubuntu member) :)
 I'll crank out a newsletter this afternoon wxl
 @wxl [<wxl> (and then we can work on making you an ubuntu member) :)], This
[18:48] <Wafficus> 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] <Wafficus> How could a beginner like me contribute to Lubuntu?
[18:49] <Wafficus> I was told to check this out by wxl earlier today
 Well, you've done the first step, which is to idle here :)
[18:50] <wxl> @tsimonq2: welcome center?
[18:51] <Wafficus> lubot: Ha gotcha
[19:20] <Wafficus> are there any beginner related projects though or is it just purely based on requests by users?
[19:20] <Wafficus> like do you guys use support tickets, or Git Hub responses?
[19:21] <wxl> 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] <wxl> as far as existing projects are concerned, there are always bugs to fix
[19:22] <wxl> 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] <wxl> and calamares instead of the usual ubiquity installer
[19:23] <wxl> we have our own phabricator https://phab.lubuntu.me/
[19:23] <wxl> that's kind of our "development center" if you will
[19:24] <wxl> but most bugs are tracked on launchpad
[19:24] <wxl> the ones affecting packages within our jurisdiction should be found within ~lubuntu-packaging https://bugs.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-packaging
[19:25] <wxl> in general most bugfixes should be pushed upstream unless they're lubuntu specific (e.g. the lubuntu-default-settings package)
[19:25] <wxl> does that help, Wafficus ?
[19:27] <Wafficus> Totally
[19:27] <Wafficus> thanks man
[19:27] <wxl> so i'd say pick around and see what questions you can come up with
[19:28] <wxl> 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] <wxl> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Triage
[19:29] <wxl> 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] <wxl> that ought to keep you busy for a while XD
[19:30] <wxl> 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] <Wafficus> for sure
[19:37] <Wafficus> I love VMs too
[19:38] <Wafficus> I got a Windows gaming rig that could do this from time to time for automation testing
[19:38] <Wafficus> I mostly use a 4 gig Lubuntu laptop for dev
[19:43] <Wafficus> probably could run VMs on the weekend for sure though
[19:43] <Wafficus> that machine is a beast, 16 gig ram, i7, etc
[19:44] <Wafficus> I prefer the Lubuntu laptop for dev stuff though cause I prefer terminal based applications these days anyway
[23:11] <wxl> everyone will be happy to know that i revised my irssi config so now the channel name stands out like a sore thumb XD
