| Planewalker_Alph | How do you set up ssh? Specifically, between two machines (neither one of which is a server) operating on one wireless network? | 05:58 |
| Planewalker_Alph | I have read several articles about ssh, but I can't get these two to talk. | 05:58 |
| Rainstake | I have unmet dependencies and need to fix this error. Please help. | 07:13 |

| Rainstake | Thank you. | 07:13 |
| philipballew | what exactly are you wanting to do | 07:13 |
| Rainstake | I tried to run sudo apt-get clean, too. | 07:14 |
| Unit193 | Rainstake: sudo apt-get install -f | 07:14 |
| Rainstake | I have that red icon with the minus sign | 07:14 |
| Rainstake | Okay, I put the argument in as suggested. | 07:15 |
| philipballew | ok.good, do as Unit193 said. also the red icon error? | 07:16 |
| Unit193 | Rainstake: Open a terminal and type that in | 07:16 |
| philipballew | whats the output or words the error says | 07:16 |
| philipballew | do you know the terminal Rainstake ? | 07:16 |
| Rainstake | philipballew, this is what the icon says in my task bar | 07:16 |
| Rainstake | It says | 07:16 |
| philipballew | okay :) | 07:16 |
| Rainstake | "An error occured, please run Package Manager from the right click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. the error message was: "Error: Opening the cache (E:Read erro - read (5: Input/output error), E: The pacage list or status file cound no be parsed or opend.)

| philipballew | okay. now did Unit193 help ? | 07:20 |
| Unit193 | Run sudo apt-get install -f from the terminal and pastebin the output error (If there is one) | 07:20 |
| philipballew | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 07:21 |
| Rainstake | install -f did not work. | 07:22 |
| philipballew | did not work how so? | 07:22 |
| philipballew | sudo apt-get install -f is what you should run btw | 07:23 |
| Rainstake | It says: REad error - (5: Input/out put could not be parsed or opened. | 07:23 |
| Rainstake | I used sudo apt-get install -f and the error keeps showing. I think something is missing. | 07:24 |
| Rainstake | Here's a paste of what my screen says: | 07:25 |

| Rainstake | Unit193: that sounds like an easy problem to solve, I hope. | 07:30 |
| Unit193 | Rainstake: Run ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and tell us the output (Pastebin if it's large | 07:30 |

| Unit193 | 't remove the ppa, you'll get errors all the time) | 07:38 |
| Rainstake | Unit193: You mean that I should remove 'ppa' from the agruement, correct? | 07:39 |

| mranim8 | Hi. Can someone help me with an installation question? I just downloaded 11.04 (x86) to put onto a freshly built file server. I want to use btrfs instead of ext4, so I go to configure the partitions manually. I have 5 disks (one system, 4 data). I can't create primary partitions on the data drives without adding a mount point, and I can't seem to specify my own mount point. Instead I'm given a list of standard directo | 08:10 |

| diffred | Hi | 09:19 |
| diffred | I have a PC with Ubuntu in Spanish | 09:19 |
| diffred | I would like to translate it to English | 09:19 |
| diffred | I have done it through the Language Support | 09:19 |
| diffred | and rebooted, but all the GUI and menus are still in Spanish | 09:20 |
| diffred | I'm wondering if I can avoid to reinstall, because I have some important applications | 09:20 |
| diffred | Thanks in advance | 09:21 |
| Unit193 | diffred: Have a look here http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17528/change-the-user-interface-language-in-ubuntu/ | 09:22 |
| diffred | Unit193, thanks a lot. Unfortunatelly, all GUI menus are still in Spanish. | 09:43 |
| Sidewinder1 | diffred, After making the changes, did you log-out/log-in or reboot? | 09:45 |
| diffred | Yes. I will do it again, if needed. I'll be back in a minute. | 09:46 |
| diffred | I solved the language problem after rebooting. Thanks a lot. | 09:57 |
| diffred | I'm now into keyboard shortcuts. I need a kb shortcut such that minimizes all the opened windows and focus the desktop. Just like "Windows+D" in windows. I cannot find this option on the Keyboard Shortcut menu | 09:58 |
| Sidewinder1 | In my version, Lucid, 10.04, in the lower left corner is a purple box; when clicked it "Hides all windows and shows the desktop". | 10:01 |
| geirha | diffred: Should be windows+d in ubuntu too | 10:02 |
| diffred | geirha, wow, it is true. | 10:02 |
| diffred | sorry about that | 10:02 |
| diffred | I was trying control+alt+D as with older systems | 10:02 |
| diffred | Thanks a lot for your help. A pleasure to be here. | 10:03 |
