[10:59] <GhostFace777> Hi
[11:00] <GhostFace777> Could anyone help me?
[11:00] <GhostFace777> I have a simple question:)
[11:03] <GhostFace777> Can someone tell me how I change the background that is purple to anything I want or to some default please?
[11:06] <Sidewinder1> GhostFace777, Right-click on your background (on the desktop), left-click "Change Desktop Background; at least that's the way it's done in 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
[12:10] <GhostFace777> Hey guys. Can someone please help me? I am trying to add  quicklists to the Nautilus Home folder launcher(think thats what you call it) and I opened up terminal and pasted the commands I was told to put but it does not work.
[12:27] <encaitar> new to irc and ubuntu, is this the correct place to ask a ssh rsa setup question?
[12:29] <Sidewinder1> encaitar, You'll probably get more/quicker responses in #ubuntu.
[12:29] <Sidewinder1> I know nothing about ssh,rsa, sorry.
[12:30] <encaitar> Sidewinder1, thank you will do
[12:30] <Sidewinder1> NP.
[19:11] <f3lipe> Hey guys, how do I choose between ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, or Edubuntu?
[20:24] <kristian-aalborg> hi all
[20:24] <kristian-aalborg> anyone know where to find a cheap SSD? I only need like 1-2 gb on it
[20:24] <kristian-aalborg> for a laptop
[20:30] <stlsaint> newegg or tigerdirect
[20:59] <redanthem> anyone know why python-software-properties would say no installation candidate when i try to install it on 11.04 server, thanks
[21:00] <stlsaint> redanthem: is it in the official repos?
[21:00] <redanthem> how do i check that
[21:02] <redanthem> stlsaint: sources.list?
[21:02] <stlsaint> redanthem: run command: apt-cache search python-software-properties
[21:02] <stlsaint> it seems to be there
[21:03] <charlie-tca> !info python-software-properties
[21:03] <charlie-tca> !info ubottu python-software-properties
[21:03] <charlie-tca> heh, what a deal
[21:03] <stlsaint> redanthem: if you see no output than you probably dont have the repo enabled
[21:04] <redanthem> stlsaint ya i was just gonna ask, is there supposed to be output
[21:04] <redanthem> there want any
[21:04] <redanthem> charlie-tca says it doesn't like !info
[21:04] <stlsaint> yea you probably dont have its repo enabled, one sec
[21:04] <redanthem> wasn't*
[21:05] <charlie-tca> It never gave me a response
[21:08] <stlsaint> redanthem: what command are you using to install it?
[21:08] <redanthem> sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
[21:09] <stlsaint> redanthem: you say you are on server edition?
[21:09] <holstein> redanthem: did you run sudo apt-get update before?
[21:09] <redanthem> stlsaint yep
[21:09] <stlsaint> redanthem: well that package is part of the GNOME desktop environment
[21:10] <redanthem> yea i actually came across this problem trying to get gnome
[21:10] <stlsaint> so if you want to use it, it seems you will need to install gnome
[21:10] <stlsaint> redanthem: ok, why are you installing gnome on a server edition?
[21:10] <stlsaint> you are essentially getting the ubuntu 11.04 desktop now which defeats the purpose of doing a server install
[21:10] <redanthem> i think what i may be finding is that i should have gotten the desktop version
[21:11] <stlsaint> redanthem: are you actually running this on a server for real server uses??
[21:11] <redanthem> just home media storage
[21:11] <redanthem> nothing really important
[21:11] <stlsaint> redanthem: well a server install will work great for that, i just am not seeing why you would need to install a desktop environment
[21:12] <redanthem> gotcha, well i guess my better question would be this
[21:12] <redanthem> i want to be able to remote admin it
[21:12] <redanthem> and i want it to be able to run xbmc
[21:12] <holstein> ssh
[21:12] <redanthem> can it do that without a guy?
[21:12] <redanthem> gui*
[21:13] <holstein> GUI... i have forwarded X over from my server
[21:13] <redanthem> what do you mean
[21:13] <holstein> i would want xbmc running locally though, and accessin the share via SSH or whatever
[21:13] <stlsaint> redanthem: yes you can
[21:13] <holstein> you can do VNC as well... but i agree... you dont need a DE
[21:13] <redanthem> gotcha, ok
[21:14] <redanthem> well whats the best way to setup ssh
[21:14] <stlsaint> redanthem: 1. Install server
[21:14] <stlsaint> 2. Update server with sudo apt-get update
[21:14] <stlsaint> 3. Install package openssh-server
[21:14] <stlsaint> 4. Setup server to use ssh keys
[21:15] <holstein> you dont have to set up keys... you just should if its going to be accessed from outside your network
[21:15] <holstein> at that point, after installing ssh, you can navigate to the IP and login with the password
[21:16] <holstein> before you put it out in the wild, i would read up on some security though.. like ssh keys
[21:16] <redanthem> gotcha, yea looking for some tutorials now
[21:16] <redanthem> anyone got any experience with atheros wireless cards
[21:17] <redanthem> my ethernet works
[21:17] <redanthem> but my wireless has been no go
[21:17] <holstein> you want wifi on that server?
[21:17] <redanthem> haven't decided
[21:17] <stlsaint> redanthem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers
[21:17] <redanthem> but it would nice to at least have them both working
[21:17] <holstein> you can run the server headless, so i would put it by the router and plug it in
[21:18] <redanthem> yea, thats where it is now, just kinda nagging that i know wireless isn't configured
[21:18] <stlsaint> redanthem: yes you do not have to setup keys unless you open up your network to be accessible from outside your home but in the even that you forget and use port forwarding than you are going to be in a world of hurt for attacks!! ;)
[21:18] <stlsaint> redanthem: make that link i just posted your friend and at the bottom it says Home server...maybe that will be of use
[21:19] <holstein> i read and read about it, and still did some testing before i forwarded the port :)
[21:19] <redanthem> haha yea, it will be something that happens down the road a bit i imagine
[21:19] <redanthem> thanks for the link though
[21:20] <redanthem> i created a share yesterday
[21:20] <stlsaint> redanthem: i will tell you from some very personal experience with my own servers being attacked....as soon as you open up those ports...your asking for trouble!!
[21:21] <stlsaint> (thats IF you dont take security serious!!)
[21:21] <stlsaint> just be prepared is all im saying
[21:21] <redanthem> yea i got you
[21:21] <redanthem> thanks for the heads up
[21:21] <holstein> redanthem: the ssh keys make it where you can also login without entering a password
[21:22] <holstein> that could come in handy locally if you are visiting a box remotely often
[21:22] <holstein> i do both though... ssh key with a pass
[21:29] <redanthem> you know why a samba share would be really slow/strange
[21:29] <redanthem> like sits and prepares to copy files for a long time
[21:59] <tripelb> hi, I'm twisted. all my controls were on the left I swear, now they are on the right. I mean MAX MIN X -- and I try to get the most readable theme. I have one better now BUT the contorls are all DOTS and the alternatives in "change desktop background" are all dots too.
[22:00] <tripelb> I use 10.04 -- am I dreaming about the controls changing sides. Did using the computer at the library, windows, warp me??
[22:00] <tripelb> all I want are BOX line X  -- is that too much to ask? Any side is ok but I want to know if I imagined it.
[22:01] <tripelb> I've used som many computer "in my times" from mac to windows to amiga to ubuntu that I dont care about side I just want to know.
[22:01] <tripelb> I feel I've moved into an alternate universe.   no drugs
[22:57] <tripelb> I dont want no dots
[22:57] <tripelb> arg ignored, slow channel.
