| starrats | good morning everyone! | 12:05 |
| belkinsa | Morning, starrats. | 12:14 |
| belkinsa | How are you? | 12:14 |
| starrats | I'm fine belkinsa | 12:21 |
| starrats | sorry was afk for a few minutes | 12:21 |
| belkinsa | It's alright, most of us lurk. | 12:21 |
| starrats | but I'm on ubuntu 14.04LTS now got rid of xubuntu | 12:21 |
| belkinsa | Do you like it? Why the switch? | 12:22 |
| starrats | just switched this morning and why I switched is that I had problems with the login window, it was always 'freezing up' on me | 12:23 |
| belkinsa | Ah. Unity is nice and I think searching for what you need is faster than looking for it. | 12:24 |
| starrats | getting used to ubuntu and getting back into my macbook days with everything on the left side of the screen like minimize/maxamize buttons | 12:24 |
| starrats | I'm hoping the 'greeter' screen is nicer to me on ubuntu than it was on xubuntu | 12:25 |
| belkinsa | I think they are working on that. | 12:25 |
| starrats | by the way, lol where's the 'settings manager' on ubuntu? | 12:26 |
| belkinsa | You know where the clock is? | 12:26 |
| starrats | upper right? | 12:26 |
| belkinsa | Or you can search it on the dash of Unity. | 12:26 |
| starrats | ah ok | 12:26 |
| belkinsa | Right, that icon takes you a menu that has it | 12:26 |
| starrats | is it called 'system settings'? | 12:27 |
| belkinsa | System Settings... | 12:27 |
| belkinsa | Yes | 12:27 |
| starrats | cool, thanks, it's also on the leftside with the other major apps | 12:27 |
| starrats | little wrench and cog | 12:28 |
| belkinsa | I guess you are right. | 12:28 |
| starrats | need to do a few things there thru out my day today | 12:29 |
| belkinsa | Same. | 12:29 |
| starrats | how's school for you? | 12:29 |
| belkinsa | And that includes looking for my dream job: http://ubuntusense.com/2014/04/24/my-dream-job/ | 12:29 |
| jenni | [ My Dream Job | The Ubuntu Sense ] - https://j.mp/1ntEPDG | 12:29 |
| belkinsa | Spring semester is over for me, this week was finals. I have two week break than summer classes. | 12:30 |
| starrats | ah cool and busy busy for you | 12:31 |
| belkinsa | Yup. | 12:31 |
| belkinsa | With two more semesters to go | 12:31 |
| starrats | then you graduate? | 12:32 |
| belkinsa | Yup. | 12:32 |
| belkinsa | With a BD in biology | 12:32 |
| starrats | cool | 12:32 |
| starrats | that's right you're into Biology | 12:32 |
| starrats | I remember from before now | 12:32 |
| starrats | specializing in DNA isit? | 12:33 |
| belkinsa | But like I said that blog post, I don't want to do all research, I want to tie in my hobby of OpenSource. | 12:33 |
| belkinsa | Yup. | 12:33 |
| starrats | okay makes sense | 12:34 |
| starrats | you ever thought of working in forensics with both Bio. and Opensource creating new 'apps'? | 12:36 |
| belkinsa | I have, but the class that teaches that at UC is in the next spring and I will be done by then. But then again, I can learn that myself. | 12:37 |
| starrats | true | 12:37 |
| starrats | get your Masters in that field | 12:37 |
| belkinsa | I'm thinking about that but (hate to say this) I'm a 2.7 student. | 12:38 |
| belkinsa | My grades are bad. | 12:38 |
| belkinsa | And I can't kill my lazyness. | 12:38 |
| starrats | ouch on the gpa and lol on the laziness but you sound like a very busy person with taking summer classes and trying to get out early | 12:40 |
| belkinsa | I'm not, I been in school for 5 years now | 12:40 |
| belkinsa | It's something that I don't like talking about. | 12:40 |
| belkinsa | And in public too. | 12:40 |
| starrats | ah okay subject is now closed | 12:42 |
| belkinsa | Thanks. | 12:42 |
| * belkinsa has issues. | 12:42 | |
| belkinsa | There, now closed. | 12:43 |
| starrats | you are not the only one though belkinsa everyone has issues of some sort | 12:43 |
| belkinsa | I know. | 12:43 |
| starrats | my issues are unreal right now, lol | 12:44 |
| belkinsa | May I ask what they are? | 12:44 |
| starrats | sure, I have recently started insulin for my diabetes, I have to move somewhere down the road because the house I'm living in is now up for sale and the woman that I told you about awhile back is no longer my gf but we remain BFF's | 12:49 |
| belkinsa | Ouch. | 12:49 |
| starrats | I also have a pinch L5 nerve root that requires an injection to relieve my daily pain but i have to maintain a good blood sugar to receive the injection | 12:51 |
| belkinsa | Is this due to age? | 12:51 |
| starrats | yes and also damage from a fall many years ago, it's all catching up to me now | 12:52 |
| belkinsa | Ah. | 12:52 |
| starrats | it's been a week now that I have been doing insulin once a day along with my pills I was doing before | 12:54 |
| belkinsa | Did the pills stop working for you? | 12:55 |
| starrats | basically yes, my doctor says my Pancreas is 'tired' and not creating enough insulin even with the two different pills i take twice a day, I'm type II diabetic | 12:56 |
| belkinsa | Ah, I see. | 12:57 |
| starrats | been a Type II for 12 years now | 12:57 |
| belkinsa | Type II is late-onset? | 12:57 |
| starrats | it's probably a heredity factor, my Mom was bordrline and my Materal Grandmother was full blown diabetic, | 12:58 |
| starrats | yes onset for me | 12:58 |
| belkinsa | Most things have that and environmental factors. Nothing is a simple one-gene trait. | 12:58 |
| starrats | one of those autoimmune things, lol | 12:58 |
| belkinsa | Well, a few things are. | 12:59 |
| starrats | so far I'm enjoying ubuntu, bouncing between here and Facebook, will have to do a few more things in term to get all i want squared away | 13:01 |
| belkinsa | That's good to hear, I still have my netbook to set up. | 13:01 |
| starrats | but noe worried about it at the moment | 13:01 |
| * belkinsa is on a 2005 laptop | 13:01 | |
| starrats | not/noe | 13:01 |
| starrats | I'm on a toshiba satillite | 13:02 |
| belkinsa | I'm on a Toshiba laptop that's from 2005 and is an old worklaptop that my mom gave me, | 13:02 |
| starrats | a couple folks thinks that is why I was having my xubuntu problems, incompatibility issues | 13:03 |
| starrats | my laptop is 2 to 3 years oldbought new at Best Buy summer of 2012 | 13:04 |
| belkinsa | Have you asked in the #xubuntu channel? | 13:05 |
| starrats | yes many times and they say it's not their issue but it's my problems | 13:05 |
| belkinsa | Ah. I am that same boat. | 13:06 |
| starrats | the problem is/was the cursor would 'freeze' right at the login screen and I couldn't put my password in | 13:07 |
| starrats | and i had to do a hard shutdown all the time to rebot | 13:07 |
| starrats | reboot | 13:08 |
| belkinsa | Bummer, did you try another favour other than Ubuntu? Like Lubuntu. (if you want a more Linux feel) | 13:08 |
| starrats | no I haven't | 13:09 |
| starrats | I like xfce and that is why I went with xubuntu but I also have used regular linux in the past | 13:10 |
| belkinsa | Try Linux Mint or whatever it's called? | 13:11 |
| belkinsa | .* | 13:11 |
| belkinsa | s/./? | 13:11 |
| jenni | belkinsa meant to say: ?* | 13:11 |
| starrats | I know some folks call ubuntu 'bloated' and slow but so far I don't see that with 14.04 | 13:11 |
| belkinsa | Nevermind | 13:11 |
| starrats | anyway I have to go downstairs and get the place squared away for the realtor to come and retake some photos, bbl | 13:13 |
| belkinsa | See ya later | 13:13 |
| paultag | Unit193: yeah, I'm still uot of town | 14:18 |
| paultag | but I can this weekend | 14:18 |
| starrats | back from the cleaning and crap for the realtor's new photos | 15:49 |
| jrgifford | I am constantly reminded why package managers exist. | 16:00 |
| starrats | back from stuff | 16:35 |
| starrats | is there a channel that is for offtopic subjects for ubuntu? | 16:36 |
| jrgifford | ubuntu-offtopic exists, i think | 16:40 |
| jrgifford | but this room generally is fair game | 16:40 |
| starrats | ah okay thank you, I'm new to ubuntu | 16:44 |
| starrats | plus it's an OH based channel and I lived in OH | 16:45 |
| starrats | live/not lived | 16:45 |
| Unit193 | paultag: Ah, alrighty. Just wondering how I can do it better, don't think I did yet. | 18:11 |
| starrats | good evening everyone! | 23:21 |
