| Spads | Good morning all. It seems the lubuntu.me site is down. I realise it is still the small hours of the night where it is hosted, but perhaps someone has access to resurrect it? | 08:10 |

| guiverc | Thanks Spads, I hadn't noticed... We'll get to it when we can. | 08:51 |

| subash | hi. can anyone help me get stremio running in lubuntu. i am new to linux. thanks | 18:55 |
| wxl | subash: what the heck is stremio? | 19:00 |
| wxl | oh nevermind i googled it | 19:01 |
| wxl | (well, duckduckgo) | 19:01 |
| subash | its like netflix but you dont pay | 19:01 |
| wxl | so the unfortunate thing here is that it's not something that ubuntu provides, so ultimately the party responsible for support is stremio itself | 19:01 |
| wxl | however i can see they have a deb package you can install | 19:02 |
| wxl | i see they don't support 32 bit so if you have that you're in trouble | 19:02 |
| subash | yes. i did install it but it dosnt work | 19:02 |
| subash | FYI i am a newbie | 19:02 |
| subash | also i have lubuntu not ubuntu | 19:03 |
| wxl | do you know if you have a 32 or 64 bit setup? | 19:03 |
| wxl | lubuntu is ubuntu | 19:03 |
| subash | 64bit | 19:03 |
| wxl | are you sure that both your machine is 64 bit and the kernel you're running is 64 bit? | 19:04 |
| subash | i can type some thing in terminal and tell you what it says | 19:04 |
| wxl | uname -a | 19:04 |
| wxl | if you're running a 64 bit kernel you clearly have a 64 bit machine | 19:05 |
| subash | x86_64 | 19:05 |
| wxl | ok so you're good there | 19:05 |
| wxl | what version of lubuntu you running? | 19:05 |
| subash | 14.1 | 19:06 |
| wxl | that's kind of old | 19:06 |
| wxl | in fact, the correct word is "unsupported" | 19:06 |
| subash | would that be a problem | 19:06 |
| wxl | it certainly isn't going to help you XD | 19:07 |
| wxl | especially given that even ubuntu (which has longer support times than lubuntu) stopped standard support of it earlier this year | 19:07 |
| subash | what should i type in the terminal to update | 19:07 |
| wxl | well now there's a good question | 19:08 |
| wxl | *if* the upgrade path is supported, `sudo do-release-upgrade` | 19:08 |
| wxl | wait | 19:09 |
| subash | it says please install all updates before upgrade | 19:09 |
| wxl | you said 14.10 or 14.04???? | 19:09 |
| wxl | if you said 14.10 that's even worse. that's been LONG unsupported. | 19:09 |
| subash | itsays 14.1 | 19:09 |
| wxl | you need to upgrade to *at least* 18.04 to make it work | 19:09 |
| subash | seems like a lot of work. musht as well install new | 19:10 |
| subash | what would you say | 19:10 |
| wxl | that would certainly make life a lot easier, yes | 19:10 |
| wxl | personally, i'd suggest getting 19.10. the new stuff is the best :) | 19:10 |
| subash | i like lubuntu but is there anyting new now | 19:11 |
| wxl | also since streamio uses qt and the new versions of lubuntu use a desktop environment based on qt rather than gtk, you won't need to install a bunch of extra libraries | 19:11 |
| subash | i recently saw deepin | 19:11 |
| * wxl shrugs | 19:11 | |
| subash | bad? | 19:11 |
| wxl | lubuntu works for me. i don't find a need to look elsewhere | 19:11 |
| subash | i understand. i too like simple and lightweight | 19:12 |
| wxl | yeah, that's nice. also "functional right out of the box" is helpful. | 19:12 |
| wxl | i mean arch is simple and lightweight......... but takes a fair amount of babysitting to get it set up the way you need it to be | 19:13 |
| subash | so should i get a bootablependrive and start installing | 19:13 |
| wxl | that would be the most reasonable solution, yes | 19:13 |
| subash | this is a i3 machine | 19:13 |
| subash | old | 19:13 |
| wxl | not *that* old :) | 19:13 |
| subash | well when compared to todays standard atleaset | 19:14 |
| subash | any advices before i start the deed | 19:14 |
| wxl | nope | 19:15 |
| subash | thanks my friend. | 19:15 |
