viktorviktor@viktor-pc:~$ ./gifbg.sh yes.gif13:54
viktorxwinwrap: window type - override13:54

viktordiogenes_13:57
diogenes_viktor, where did you get xwinwrap and gifsicle?13:59
viktoryes13:59
diogenes_did you compile it?13:59
viktori installed xwinwrap using git clone https://github.com/ujjwal96/xwinwrap.git && cd xwinwrap && make && sudo make install && make clean && cd ..14:00
viktorand when i type xwinwrap in terminal it show program works14:01
viktorfor gifsicle i did  sudo apt install gifsicle14:01
diogenes_well last time i tried it was a few years ago and it was working, maybe they've changed something in xwinwrap or maybe you need a reboot, no clue, it's been awhile since i last tried it.14:04
viktor:(14:05
viktoroof14:05
viktormplayer worked14:10
viktori was abler to play vide on loop as a wallpaper using mplayer14:11
viktormplayer -loop 0 -fs -zoom location-of-animate-gif.gif -rootwin14:11
diogenes_viktor, that might come at a cost of high cpu usage, look in htop.14:12
viktoryeah 27% of cpu usage\14:13
viktornot good when playing games.14:13
diogenes_yeah, not that great.14:13
viktorill stick with standard wallpaper14:13
diogenes_good idea.14:14
diogenes_btw, ZorinOs has live wallpapers, you could dig into what they use there and implement it in lubuntu.14:15
viktoroh ok15:34

lubot<Mateusz Konieczny> Hi! Is there a way to get more useful debug what went wrong during installation? Install of lubuntu 18 crashes with "it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location" without any useful feedback what went wrong.  … Lubuntu 16.0.4 on the same computer had no such problems. Laptop is a quite old one.18:12
diogenes_Mateusz Konieczny, UEFI/BIOS?18:17
lubot<Mateusz Konieczny> Almost certainly BIOS. I guess that Lubuntu 18 is the first LTS that has no support for BIOS and crashes on encountering it?18:25
lubot<Mateusz Konieczny> Nope, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS/stable-alternative-18.04.1#UEFI_and_BIOS claims spport for both.18:26
lubot<Mateusz Konieczny> https://askubuntu.com/a/430832/349903 recommends  … > Select the option "Continue without bootloader".After the successfull installation of Ubuntu, don't forget to run boot-repair. … Is it still the best solution, five years later?18:46
lubot<Mateusz Konieczny> Yes, it worked.21:22
