ChinnoDogimho this whole trend towards tablet compatible desktops for both Windows and Ubuntu is short sighted.19:07
wyattderpI have moved onto #! -- Its a nice inbetween to Arch and Ubuntu I feel. Hackable but -MOSTLY- Stable.19:28
InHisNameI'm in software center.  What to search for in installed part to remove to free up space on /boot   ..  Tried vmlinuz but see nothing so far.19:31
InHisNameI also tried search terms:  ubuntu, linux, headers    but none found anything useful to uninstall.19:35

ChinnoDogWhat is the proper name for the rubber nubs that go over a pointing stick?20:01
ChinnoDogMaybe they are just "nubs"20:03
jthanI think it's just rubber.20:03
jthanWhy do you call it a nub? It's able bodied.20:04
ChinnoDogidk what else to call them. I want a new one20:07
ChinnoDogI can't find the part though :-(20:07
jthanLol. Why do you have a pointing stick?20:07

jthanChinnoDog: I'm recording a part of this lecture for you.20:08
jthanIt's about rubber nubs20:09
jthanChinnoDog: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_stick20:09
ChinnoDogI have a touchpad too but there isn't a sensitivity control on it so I'm going to use the pointing stick20:09
ChinnoDogIt has a dumb concave shape that makes it difficult to use though20:09
jthanThat kind of pointing stick?20:09
ChinnoDogI found a replacement nub now but it is the same one I already have20:10
jthanStop it with that nub stuff20:11
jthanYou're offending it.20:11
ChinnoDogMy nub needs a new rubber cover20:12

JonathanDChinnoDog: thinkpad?20:13
jthanI want to learn to use LaTeX20:14
ChinnoDogJonathanD: No. Dell. They aren't compatible. :-(20:14
jthanDo people still do that ?20:14
JonathanDChinnoDog: I probably have a couple dell ones.20:14
JonathanDI'll look.20:15
ChinnoDogI can't confirm the existence of any alternately shaped nubs for this laptop.20:18
ChinnoDogDell--20:18
ChinnoDogI miss my Thinkpad :-(20:18
jthanYou could custom create a nub20:18
ChinnoDogI could. There is probably a small but loyal market for those.20:18
jthanDo it20:19
JonathanDChinnoDog: well you said yours are concave?20:22
JonathanDChinnoDog: the older dells were not.20:22
jthanMy mom has a Dell laptop that has one that is convex. But it's hard as a rock.20:22
ChinnoDogJonathanD: Apparently not all Dells use the same pointing sticks. They aren't compatible between models.20:23
