[05:13] <Unit193> paultag: Had a chance to take a look at the email and what the problems are with the second package yet?
[12:05] <starrats> good morning everyone!
[12:14] <belkinsa> Morning, starrats.
[12:14] <belkinsa> How are you?
[12:21] <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
[12:22] <belkinsa> Do you like it?  Why the switch?
[12:23] <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
[12:24] <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
[12:25] <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.
[12:26] <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
[12:27] <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
[12:28] <starrats> little wrench and cog
[12:28] <belkinsa> I guess you are right.
[12:29] <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
[12:30] <belkinsa> Spring semester is over for me, this week was finals.  I have two week break than summer classes.
[12:31] <starrats> ah cool and busy busy for you
[12:31] <belkinsa> Yup.
[12:31] <belkinsa> With two more semesters to go
[12:32] <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
[12:33] <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.
[12:34] <starrats> okay makes sense
[12:36] <starrats> you ever thought of working in forensics with both Bio. and Opensource creating new 'apps'?
[12:37] <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
[12:38] <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.
[12:40] <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.
[12:42] <starrats> ah okay subject is now closed
[12:42] <belkinsa> Thanks.
[12:42]  * belkinsa has issues.
[12:43] <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.
[12:44] <starrats> my issues are unreal right now, lol
[12:44] <belkinsa> May I ask what they are?
[12:49] <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.
[12:51] <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?
[12:52] <starrats> yes and also damage from a fall many years ago, it's all catching up to me now
[12:52] <belkinsa> Ah.
[12:54] <starrats> it's been a week now that I have been doing insulin once a day along with my pills I was doing before
[12:55] <belkinsa> Did the pills stop working for you?
[12:56] <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
[12:57] <belkinsa> Ah, I see.
[12:57] <starrats> been a Type II for 12 years now
[12:57] <belkinsa> Type II is late-onset?
[12:58] <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
[12:59] <belkinsa> Well, a few things are.
[13:01] <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
[13:02] <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,
[13:03] <starrats> a couple folks thinks that is why I was having my xubuntu problems, incompatibility issues
[13:04] <starrats> my laptop is 2 to 3 years oldbought new at Best Buy summer of 2012
[13:05] <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
[13:06] <belkinsa> Ah.  I am that same boat.
[13:07] <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
[13:08] <starrats> reboot
[13:08] <belkinsa> Bummer, did you try another favour other than Ubuntu?  Like Lubuntu. (if you want a more Linux feel)
[13:09] <starrats> no I haven't
[13:10] <starrats> I like xfce and that is why I went with xubuntu but I also have used regular linux in the past
[13:11] <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
[13:13] <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
[14:18] <paultag> Unit193: yeah, I'm still uot of town
[14:18] <paultag> but I can this weekend
[15:49] <starrats> back from the cleaning and crap for the realtor's new photos
[16:00] <jrgifford> I am constantly reminded why package managers exist.
[16:35] <starrats> back from stuff
[16:36] <starrats> is there a channel that is for offtopic subjects for ubuntu?
[16:40] <jrgifford> ubuntu-offtopic exists, i think
[16:40] <jrgifford> but this room generally is fair game
[16:44] <starrats> ah okay thank you, I'm new to ubuntu
[16:45] <starrats> plus it's an OH based channel and I lived in OH
[16:45] <starrats> live/not lived
[18:11] <Unit193> paultag: Ah, alrighty.  Just wondering how I can do it better, don't think I did yet.
[23:21] <starrats> good evening everyone!
