[08:10] <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?
[08:51] <guiverc> Thanks Spads, I hadn't noticed... We'll get to it when we can.

[15:05] <Guest59524> hello
[15:08] <bob_> bill
[18:55] <subash> hi. can anyone help me get stremio running in lubuntu. i am new to linux. thanks
[19:00] <wxl> subash: what the heck is stremio?
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <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
[19:03] <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
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <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?
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <wxl> well now there's a good question
[19:08] <wxl> *if* the upgrade path is supported, `sudo do-release-upgrade`
[19:09] <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
[19:10] <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 :)
[19:11] <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
[19:12] <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.
[19:13] <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 :)
[19:14] <subash> well when compared to todays standard atleaset
[19:14] <subash> any advices before i start the deed
[19:15] <wxl> nope
[19:15] <subash> thanks my friend.
