[05:57] <Planewalker_Alph> Hello.
[05:58] <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.
[07:13] <Rainstake> I have unmet dependencies and need to fix this error.  Please help.
[07:13] <philipballew> Rainstake, Ill attempt
[07:13] <Rainstake> Thank you.
[07:13] <philipballew> what exactly are you wanting to do
[07:14] <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
[07:15] <Rainstake> Okay, I put the argument in as suggested.
[07:16] <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 :)
[07:18] <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.) "This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies"
[07:19] <Rainstake> *package
[07:20] <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)
[07:21] <philipballew> http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[07:22] <Rainstake> install -f did not work.
[07:22] <philipballew> did not work how so?
[07:23] <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.
[07:24] <Rainstake> I used sudo apt-get install -f and the error keeps showing.  I think something is missing.
[07:25] <Rainstake> Here's a paste of what my screen says:
[07:25] <Rainstake> ron@rainstake:~$ sudo apt-get install -f Reading package lists... Error! E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

[07:28] <Unit193> You're using Edgy?
[07:29] <philipballew> thats not supported and more i think
[07:29] <Rainstake> Unit193: I don't know what Edgy is, really.  I'm sorta new.
[07:29] <Unit193> It is not

[07:29] <Unit193> Rainstake: Alright, there is a bad PPA in your sources
[07:30] <Rainstake> Unit193: that sounds like an easy problem to solve, I hope.

[09:19] <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
[09:20] <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
[09:21] <diffred> Thanks in advance
[09:22] <Unit193> diffred: Have a look here http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17528/change-the-user-interface-language-in-ubuntu/
[09:43] <diffred> Unit193, thanks a lot. Unfortunatelly, all GUI menus are still in Spanish.
[09:45] <Sidewinder1> diffred, After making the changes, did you log-out/log-in or reboot?
[09:46] <diffred> Yes. I will do it again, if needed. I'll be back in a minute.
[09:57] <diffred> I solved the language problem after rebooting. Thanks a lot.
[09:58] <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
[10:01] <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".
[10:02] <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
[10:03] <diffred> Thanks a lot for your help. A pleasure to be here.
