InHisNameHi, and a good morning too!14:31
InHisNameI've just upgraded my main computer to 10.10 and then to 11.04.14:31
InHisNameNow I cannot find how to start Pidgin.    Used to be:  apps>internet>pidgin      How to find it in the new thingy (unity?) on left edge of desktop ?14:33
jedijfInHisName: is it installed?14:35
InHisNameI think so,  software apps button I noticed Pidgin there with "uninstall" button active.14:35
andrewclick the top left ubuntu logo, type pidgin?14:38
jedijfand notice the apps...more apps...etc14:39
InHisNameNow trying to tweek my name here.                      (09:38:21 AM) NickServ: (notice) You are already logged in as InHisName.14:43
InHisNameGrrrr, I can't seem to change to another nick.    Says I'm already logged in as InHisName14:48
andrewghost14:50
andrewuse the ghost command14:50
andrewwait14:50
andrewwhat are you trying to do?14:51
InHisName1finally found Pidgin.    Gotta do more mouse clics and less hoovering to get to it.14:53
andrewjust type, it should find it14:53
InHisName1click left upper corner (barely see icon there)    choose internet - then choose more - finally choose Pidgin.14:54
andrewclick left upper corner (or hit the super key) type pidgin, hit enter14:55
andrewDarn kids nowadays being so mouse dependent14:55
InHisName1Typing found it  but that is a click + sixletters + another click.14:55
InHisName1KIDS ?????!!??14:56
PennBotIt has been said that KIDS are in bed, InHisName114:56
andrewInHisName1: nonsense: super key, type, down arrow, enter14:56
andrew(I missed the down arrow the first time)14:57
InHisName1super key ?14:57
andrewIt's the one that is typically located under the shift/z14:57
andrewand between the ctrl & alt14:57
InHisName1never mind the OTHER os uses the same key14:57
andrewWhat does that have to do with this conversation? are we forbidden to use it because an operating system that isn't even installed, let alone running also uses it? Better toss out my entire keyboard then14:59
InHisName1Now can't find how to change my nick in Pidgin.    /msg NickServ newname  (with or without a password)   keeps sending --->  you are already logged in InHisName15:00
andrewyou change your name using /nick newNick15:00
InHisName1Does it use the under-utilized key between the right-ctrl and right 'super-key' ?     That would be way cool.15:01
andrewa lot of programs utilize that key15:02
=== InHisName is now known as INH_TestBox
=== InHisName1 is now known as InHisName
InHisNamethanks15:04
InHisNameNow to get CUPS working again after a few months of not working.15:06
InHisNameIts 'hooked' to network printer.    But all jobs for last 9 months stoppped and not printing.15:07
ChinnoDogsup peeps15:13
InHisNameI'm attempting to fix my cups15:13
InHisNameseems to be fixed after answering prompt for login and password.15:15
InHisNameYes, another print printed just fine.16:16
InHisNameon a web page is:   <h5><a class="soldOut" >I Want One!</a></h5>        but I am unable to get google's advanced search to reject based on string soldOut.   I even have set to search WHOLE page.   Is it impossible to search on that portion of a page ?16:19
andrewbecause google tends to ignore what the user can't read/see16:21
InHisNameis there another search engine that allow that kind of serching ?16:23
InHisNameI am getting 2 rows x 2 columns in destop switching.   How to change options ?   Used to right click lower right icons.   Unity took them away.   It's icons don't have options for right clicking.16:25
andrewwhat are you trying to accomplish?16:26
teddy-dbearsounds like he wants to increase the number of desktops16:34
andrewInHisName: open compizconfig-settings-manager16:44
andrew(install it if you don't have it installed)16:45
andrewI was asking more about his searching, not the desktops16:45
JonathanDI think wawa for lunch today.16:49
InHisNameOk, found universal setting manager- cool does compiz too.   Do I need to re-boot or re-start something to make new settings take hold ?17:24
andrewnot sure what the universal setting manager is, but compizconfig-settings-manager will change it for you, and all of it's changes are in real-time17:25
InHisNameI'm in adv search and want to eliminate pages that are sold out.  When item quantity appears then item is sold out.   But its kinda like the class="" problem.     http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=Ou%C7%9D+-soldOut+-ITEM-QUANTITY+site:moofi.woot.com&num=100&hl=en&lr=&client=ubuntu&channel=fs&biw=722&bih=970&prmd=ivns17:26

andrewand/or title tags17:29
