Hi Salvatore Bonaccorso, First of all thank you for trying to get this one right and taking time to respond on the issue.
I added the PPA and installed it but don't get what I need it. $ dpkg -l giplet Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-================-================-================================================ ii giplet 0.1.8-2.intrepid GNOME IP display applet Now what I'm trying to do is not get the IP from the local interface but from the websites ""www.getmyip.org whatismyip.org" but not getting it :( I went to Preferences and in interfaces deleted eth0 and just let ""www.getmyip.org whatismyip.org" therein. I am using dhcp. Perhaps a look at my ifconfig will tell you what I mean. shir...@shirish-desktop:~$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:95:44:10:db UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:18 Base address:0xc800 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:a1:92:56:33 inet addr:192.168.1.4 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::208:a1ff:fe92:5633/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6397106 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6991304 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4213783164 (4.2 GB) TX bytes:1534493981 (1.5 GB) Interrupt:22 Base address:0xcc00 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:6858 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6858 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1173932 (1.1 MB) TX bytes:1173932 (1.1 MB) In this case having either eth0 or eth1 is of no use :( So need the info. from the sites. If you want me to do something more lemme know. You could also try putting up 0.2.0 if you want and I can take a spin at it. Also in this brief time I've been trying Giplet (less than an hour) trying to do anything in preferences take a long long time for Preferences to close. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- giplet hangs from time to time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
