May 10	comment	Wifi not working ubuntu 11.10 No i haven't @Suhaib, I am sticking with the lts version. Do you think i should? I would appreciate if you could tell me if 13.04 supports broadcom wireless drivers out of the box. Hardware compatibility has always been an issue with ubuntu distros.
Apr 20	comment	Wifi not working ubuntu 11.10 Yep it still bothers me sometimes. I installed the additional wireless drivers and it works but if i turn disable wifi by the hardware switch, i can't switch it on back. The button doesn't seem to work.

Jan 22	comment	Configure sSMTP with Gmail, in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Thanks for your reply @coteyr, I changed the port to 465 but get this error `Cannot open smtp.gmail.com:465` and I tried `telnet smtp.gmail.com` it says network unreachable . So i think it is a connectivity issue. Am i missing some certificates that need to be installed or is the proxy? how do i resolve it?

Jan 22	comment	How to force quit out of an infinite loop in a bash script gracefully The cursor stops blinking after some time, so i know there is a loop going on. I want this script to run on startup. I want to stop the bash script by passing a flag like `bash logger.sh -stop` and if i want it to start again it should be something like `bash logger.sh -start` How do i go about this?

Jan 2	comment	Bash script not working properly when run automatically Thanks @MHC , i solved the problem with notifications by adding these two things to the bash script: DISPLAY=:0 && export XAUTHORITY=/home/vivek/.Xauthority considering that the bash script showed errors about X11 authorizations when i dumped them into a file.
Dec 30	comment	Bash script not working properly when run automatically Thanks @fred.smiley but i need that script to run when an active connection is established only. Thats precisely why i placed it in the /etc/network/if-up.d
Dec 30	comment	Bash script not working properly when run automatically thanks for your reply. Now the script is running as I mentioned and i changed the ownership to root. The main reason for me to put that script in /etc/network/if-up.d is because I want that script to run when my laptop is connected to a network on an if up kind of an event. So thats a constraint. I do not want to run it on startup or like other command. The network manager automatically runs the scripts in the if-up.d folder on an active connection.
