[19:28] I have moved onto #! -- Its a nice inbetween to Arch and Ubuntu I feel. Hackable but -MOSTLY- Stable. [19:31] I'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. [19:35] I also tried search terms: ubuntu, linux, headers but none found anything useful to uninstall. === scottrigby_away is now known as scottrigby [20:01] What is the proper name for the rubber nubs that go over a pointing stick? [20:03] Maybe they are just "nubs" [20:03] I think it's just rubber. [20:04] Why do you call it a nub? It's able bodied. [20:07] idk what else to call them. I want a new one [20:07] I can't find the part though :-( [20:07] Lol. Why do you have a pointing stick? === Maple__ is now known as fu === fu is now known as Maple__ [20:08] ChinnoDog: I'm recording a part of this lecture for you. [20:09] It's about rubber nubs [20:09] ChinnoDog: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_stick [20:09] I have a touchpad too but there isn't a sensitivity control on it so I'm going to use the pointing stick [20:09] It has a dumb concave shape that makes it difficult to use though [20:09] That kind of pointing stick? [20:10] I found a replacement nub now but it is the same one I already have [20:11] Stop it with that nub stuff [20:11] You're offending it. [20:12] My nub needs a new rubber cover [20:13] tmi [20:13] ChinnoDog: thinkpad? [20:14] I want to learn to use LaTeX [20:14] JonathanD: No. Dell. They aren't compatible. :-( [20:14] Do people still do that ? [20:14] ChinnoDog: I probably have a couple dell ones. [20:15] I'll look. [20:18] I can't confirm the existence of any alternately shaped nubs for this laptop. [20:18] Dell-- [20:18] I miss my Thinkpad :-( [20:18] You could custom create a nub [20:18] I could. There is probably a small but loyal market for those. [20:19] Do it [20:22] ChinnoDog: well you said yours are concave? [20:22] ChinnoDog: the older dells were not. [20:22] My mom has a Dell laptop that has one that is convex. But it's hard as a rock. [20:23] JonathanD: Apparently not all Dells use the same pointing sticks. They aren't compatible between models. [20:27] lame. === scottrigby is now known as scottrigby_away === scottrigby_away is now known as scottrigby === scottrigby is now known as scottrigby_away === scottrigby_away is now known as scottrigby === scottrigby is now known as scottrigby_away === scottrigby_away is now known as scottrigby
