| TRPrecht | Greetings. | 01:02 |
|---|---|---|
| belkinsa | o/ TRPrecht | 01:02 |
| TRPrecht | Is the Ohio LoCo pretty active? or are there relocos in Ohio that are pretty active? | 01:06 |
| belkinsa | We are very, very inactive and our ReLoCos don't exist anymore. But you are welcome to try to start one up. Where do you hail? | 01:06 |
| belkinsa | We only have 2-8 active members online but not really in person. | 01:07 |
| belkinsa | We are scattered and makes the problem greater. | 01:07 |
| TRPrecht | Ah. I'm actually in KY but I see Cincinnati out my window. | 01:08 |
| belkinsa | Ah. I'm also from the Greater Cinny area myself. | 01:09 |
| TRPrecht | I've been looking for a lug/loco for a couple years now, I've seen that there were at one time many groups in the area and they all seem to have gone dark. :-/ | 01:10 |
| belkinsa | I see, I think most of the LUGs and LoCos of USA are dying or are dead. Ohio is one of the few who is still trying to be active. | 01:12 |
| * belkinsa shouldn't said "I think" | 01:12 | |
| belkinsa | It's a truth. | 01:12 |
| TRPrecht | KY's is still somewhat active, but it is about 2 hours away and they meet on a weekday.. thus no go. Unless I can leave work in Springdale and shoot striaght to Lexington and hope for no traffic. LOL | 01:13 |
| Unit193 | TRPrecht: I know a few people do some stuff in some LUGs, guy not far from me goes to the Akron LUG as they have active, informative meetings. | 01:14 |
| dzho | hackerspaces and makerspaces seem to be a slightly more current thing, and depending on the space, sometimes attract those with free software sympathies or inclinations | 01:14 |
| belkinsa | KY is? Hm, never knew that. If you have friends who are seeking a group, we could start a ReLoCo for the Greater Cincinnati area. | 01:15 |
| dzho | TRPrecht: so, covington? | 01:15 |
| TRPrecht | Yeah, they meet once a month to every other month. | 01:15 |
| belkinsa | dzho, or Newport. | 01:16 |
| TRPrecht | dzho: pretty close. Fort Mitchell actually. | 01:16 |
| TRPrecht | Grew up in Newport though. | 01:16 |
| dzho | oh, neat, I see US42 goes on through there | 01:17 |
| belkinsa | I thought 42 was just a state route, or is this a different one? | 01:17 |
| TRPrecht | I've got some friends that like/use Ubuntu or Arch and they are pretty geeky, however they draw the line at the concept of a LUG. say its too geeky. :-/ lol | 01:17 |
| dzho | heh | 01:18 |

| * dzho has got to go make sure bedtime is happening | 01:18 | |
| dzho | TRPrecht: nice to see you drop in. | 01:19 |
| dzho | belkinsa, Unit193 will see you around | 01:19 |
| belkinsa | Slaapwel, dzho | 01:19 |
| TRPrecht | nah, US42 runs a LONG way. I can get to pretty far south on it and up to my work north of Cincy. | 01:19 |
| drkokandy | howdy all | 01:19 |
| TRPrecht | Without being a developer, or a graphic artist, it seems like it is very difficult to 'get involved' in supporting a project...other than financially... which I guess can be hard too at time. :-) | 01:22 |
| TRPrecht | Its a hard clique to crack. lol | 01:23 |
| Unit193 | TRPrecht: Indeed, nice to have you drop in. If you don't mind me asking, what do you use? | 01:23 |
| belkinsa | It is, but you can do it with the skills you have. Spearding the word is one. | 01:24 |
| TRPrecht | Ubuntu on my System76 machine... and I use my dinky laptop to test out various distros. | 01:24 |
| Unit193 | drkokandy: And howdy! Just mentioned you, though not by name. :) | 01:25 |
| belkinsa | o/ drkokandy as I forgot to say hey to you | 01:25 |
| drkokandy | Oh, yeah? hopefully good things Unit193 - my intenet died earlier this afternoon apparently so my IRC's been down | 01:25 |
| drkokandy | o/ belkinsa | 01:25 |
| drkokandy | been awhile! | 01:25 |
| drkokandy | TRPrecht: I've missed most of this conversation, but Ubuntu has a tool called find-a-task that might help you see just what options are out there: http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/find-a-task/ | 01:27 |
| jenni | [ Ubuntu Community | Find a Task ] - https://j.mp/1GdwRIm | 01:27 |
| belkinsa | drkokandy, thanks for sharing that link! I would of if I wasn't working on my homework. | 01:27 |
| drkokandy | That helped me see what options are available... I'm neither a developer nor a graphic designer, but I was able to get started with bug triage & QA testing | 01:27 |
| Unit193 | drkokandy: Yes, that you have found a nice LUG in Akron. | 01:28 |
| * belkinsa started with Ubuntu Women | 01:28 | |
| drkokandy | oh, good luck with your homework, belkinsa - probably midterms, right? | 01:28 |
| Unit193 | https://sigma.unit193.net/dump/find-a-task-fix.user.js :P | 01:28 |
| drkokandy | oh, yeah! I haven't been to ALUG in a little while, but I should be able to make it this week | 01:28 |
| belkinsa | Yes, but I only have one this week. My bioinformatics one was last week but I still have the takehome part of it to do. | 01:29 |
| drkokandy | find-a-task-fix.js... is there something broken with find a task? | 01:29 |
| belkinsa | I'm trying to gain time for this week by finishing the rest for my other classes to study for the midterm and do the takehome. | 01:29 |
| drkokandy | good plan belkinsa - good luck! | 01:30 |
| belkinsa | Thanks. | 01:30 |
| TRPrecht | Nice, thanks for the link. I've been slowly converting people since a former coworker got me started in this direction with Gusty. | 01:30 |
| Unit193 | drkokandy: Perhaps take a look at the page with and without that? I didn't create it, but tend to agree with the thought of the person that did. | 01:30 |
| belkinsa | TRPrecht, why isn't KY's LoCo not verflied? | 01:31 |
| TRPrecht | I dual booted for years.... but finally got my last hold out application running under wine... been linux only at home for ~2 years | 01:31 |
| belkinsa | s/verflied/verified | 01:31 |
| jenni | belkinsa meant to say: TRPrecht, why isn't KY's LoCo not verified? | 01:31 |
| TRPrecht | Unknown... during my search I found the Bluegrass LUG page and on there is said they had merged and went with the Bluegrass name instead of staying Ubuntu KY LoCo? | 01:33 |
| Unit193 | Fun fact, Xubuntu's technical lead is from KY. | 01:34 |
| drkokandy | ah I see | 01:34 |
| belkinsa | TRPrecht, hm, isn't that against the rules having a LoCo without the Ubuntu part in the name? | 01:35 |
| TRPrecht | Nice. | 01:35 |
| Unit193 | drkokandy: Laying out all your choices just seems like a better idea to me. | 01:35 |
| TRPrecht | I think so... | 01:36 |
| * belkinsa wishes skellat was here | 01:36 | |
| TRPrecht | ah http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2060028 is where I saw where they were aka Bluegrass LUG | 01:37 |

| TRPrecht | almost 3yr old post... one of the most recent. lol | 01:38 |
| belkinsa | But that was three years ago, well, under three. | 01:38 |
| belkinsa | That's tells me that it's an inactive one. | 01:38 |
| belkinsa | s/That's/That | 01:38 |
| jenni | belkinsa meant to say: That tells me that it's an inactive one. | 01:38 |
| TRPrecht | They are on Google+ as BlueGrass Linux User Group and are (semi) active under that name only. | 01:39 |
| belkinsa | Isn't a mixed group in terms of distro useage? | 01:39 |
| TRPrecht | Quick look at the G page shows more talk about *insert fruit* Pi projects and cloud solutions more times than not.... scrolled a while to find a distro and it was Xubuntu | 01:43 |
| belkinsa | May I have the link to that page? | 01:43 |
| TRPrecht | Sure. | 01:46 |

| TRPrecht | BRB, going to get food for the wife while she takes care of the fussy baby. | 01:46 |
| belkinsa | Alright, see you around. Nice to meet you. | 01:47 |
| belkinsa | Anyways, it's bed time for me. Night everyone. | 01:49 |
| drkokandy | night | 01:49 |
| drkokandy | I'm going to need to blow away my desktop... something went wrong with an update & even apt-get -f install isn't working :( | 01:50 |
| drkokandy | maybe it can be fixed, but I don't have time | 01:51 |
| Unit193 | Oh dear. What's the error(s)? | 01:51 |
| drkokandy | seems like something pretty serious | 01:52 |
| drkokandy | linux-headers-generic : Depends: linux-headers-3.13.0-46-generic but it is not installed | 01:53 |
| drkokandy | If I try -f I get | 01:53 |
| drkokandy | oh, can't generate it now | 01:55 |
| drkokandy | but it's something about a disk full error (no disk is full) | 01:55 |
| Unit193 | Was wondering if outdated sources or proposed enabled, in that case I'd make sure /boot/ wasn't full or filling, and remove all but the latest functioning kernel. | 01:56 |
| drkokandy | tried autoremoving lots of old kernels, but same result - paste.ubuntu.com/10509461 | 02:06 |
| drkokandy | er http://paste.ubuntu.com/10509461 | 02:06 |
| jenni | [ Ubuntu Pastebin ] - https://j.mp/1GdF5jG | 02:06 |
| drkokandy | /usr/src is getting pretty big (this is an old installation & has a lot of cruft), but not full... All the important data is on other (non-boot) disks, so I really am tempted just to blow this parition away and start fresh | 02:09 |
| drkokandy | In addition to this error with apt-get, my dual monitors are now mirrored (but Unity doesn't realize there are two monitors anymore) and all visual effects are way slower than ever before | 02:10 |
| === TRPrecht is now known as TRP | ||
| TRPrecht | Ah, much better with an IRC client. :-0 | 02:25 |
| Unit193 | Hah, yeah webchat is decent enough, but quassel is a bit better, more so if you're using quassel-core. :P | 02:27 |
| TRPrecht | oh? i have't used anything other than xchat... | 02:31 |
| Unit193 | Oh? Looked like you were/are using Quassel. :P | 02:31 |
| * Unit193 uses Irssi anyway. :P | 02:31 | |
| TRPrecht | I meant prior to just installing quassel. | 02:32 |
| TRPrecht | first time using it. I like it better than xchat for sure. lol | 02:32 |
| drkokandy | Quassel is my client of choice | 02:34 |
| Unit193 | Quassel as a graphical client isn't the best, but because of the client/core relationship, it gets a few extra points. | 02:40 |
| TRPrecht | Once again I thank who shared the link for the find a task. . . So far I'm crusing the advocacy option and on spread ubuntu site... seems like it needs some TLC. | 02:46 |
