=== lubuntu is now known as Guest38766 [08:10] 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? [08:51] Thanks Spads, I hadn't noticed... We'll get to it when we can. [08:51] guiverc: 💪🦄 === bill is now known as Guest59524 [15:05] hello [15:08] bill [18:22] melt7777 was added by: melt7777 [18:55] hi. can anyone help me get stremio running in lubuntu. i am new to linux. thanks [19:00] subash: what the heck is stremio? [19:01] oh nevermind i googled it [19:01] (well, duckduckgo) [19:01] its like netflix but you dont pay [19:01] so the unfortunate thing here is that it's not something that ubuntu provides, so ultimately the party responsible for support is stremio itself [19:02] however i can see they have a deb package you can install [19:02] i see they don't support 32 bit so if you have that you're in trouble [19:02] yes. i did install it but it dosnt work [19:02] FYI i am a newbie [19:03] also i have lubuntu not ubuntu [19:03] do you know if you have a 32 or 64 bit setup? [19:03] lubuntu is ubuntu [19:03] 64bit [19:04] are you sure that both your machine is 64 bit and the kernel you're running is 64 bit? [19:04] i can type some thing in terminal and tell you what it says [19:04] uname -a [19:05] if you're running a 64 bit kernel you clearly have a 64 bit machine [19:05] x86_64 [19:05] ok so you're good there [19:05] what version of lubuntu you running? [19:06] 14.1 [19:06] that's kind of old [19:06] in fact, the correct word is "unsupported" [19:06] would that be a problem [19:07] it certainly isn't going to help you XD [19:07] especially given that even ubuntu (which has longer support times than lubuntu) stopped standard support of it earlier this year [19:07] what should i type in the terminal to update [19:08] well now there's a good question [19:08] *if* the upgrade path is supported, `sudo do-release-upgrade` [19:09] wait [19:09] it says please install all updates before upgrade [19:09] you said 14.10 or 14.04???? [19:09] if you said 14.10 that's even worse. that's been LONG unsupported. [19:09] itsays 14.1 [19:09] you need to upgrade to *at least* 18.04 to make it work [19:10] seems like a lot of work. musht as well install new [19:10] what would you say [19:10] that would certainly make life a lot easier, yes [19:10] personally, i'd suggest getting 19.10. the new stuff is the best :) [19:11] i like lubuntu but is there anyting new now [19:11] 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] i recently saw deepin [19:11] * wxl shrugs [19:11] bad? [19:11] lubuntu works for me. i don't find a need to look elsewhere [19:12] i understand. i too like simple and lightweight [19:12] yeah, that's nice. also "functional right out of the box" is helpful. [19:13] 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] so should i get a bootablependrive and start installing [19:13] that would be the most reasonable solution, yes [19:13] this is a i3 machine [19:13] old [19:13] not *that* old :) [19:14] well when compared to todays standard atleaset [19:14] any advices before i start the deed [19:15] nope [19:15] thanks my friend.
