**Skill name:** Jokes

**User story:**

As a regular home user with family membersI want this Skill to have voice command feature so that I can have the mycroft tell jokes

**A short and clear description of what the problem is, and how that differed from your expectations.**

I look up the skills marketplace and see that the skill has a blue icon on the top left but no green tick on the top right. This to me confirms that the skill is installed. I they say “Hey mycroft, tell me a joke” or “hey mycroft, make me laugh” But all I get from mycroft I don’t undersand.

I try “Hey mycroft install jokes” but it does not understand either.  
\*\* Whether you are able to reproduce the problem consistently and how you do that.\*\*  
I repeated the process over the last 3 days.

**Any changes you have made to the Mark II, whether that’s flashing a different operating system, or changing some configuration values.**  
I am using out of the box system. No changes. I have not even ssh into the device.

**Anything else you can think of that might be helpful?**  
Seems that most of the other skills with only blue tick work.

Is there a better place to report bugs?

Yes, probably the GitHub instance I discovered.

But I have learnt since I posted the above that because the default is dunkum the install skill does not work with all skills.

I just plugged in mine today. Do you have a link to that issue tracker?

Found it: [Issues · MycroftAI/mycroft-dinkum · GitHub](https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-dinkum/issues)
