miststlkr's questions

I just reinstalled 10.04 and I can't for the life of me remember how I did this. I used to have an icon on my panel which, when clicked, would roll out a specific sub-menu found int he main menu.

For example: Whereas I can click Applications > System Tools > VirtualBox > Webserver right now, I used to e able to click the icon on the panel and the Virtualbox menu would pop up out of the icon. It wasn't a drawer because the items displayed were whatever was in the linked submenu, I did not have to update them both separately.

Any ideas how I got that working before?

I have had a couple of occasions where I was unable to remember the IP address for a given system but was, at the time, able to connect using the hostname. As an example, just now I wanted to set up port forwarding on my router and couldn't remember the IP for the target system.

I am wondering if it is possible to add the system's IP address to the welcome message that gets displayed on an SSH connection.

The default welcome message that I am trying to modify, in case that term is ambiguous, is"

Linux [hostname] 2.6.35-32-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 3 00:47:07 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Ubuntu 10.10

Welcome to Ubuntu!

Somewhere in there I think I'd like to add the IP address of the system I just logged in to. Any suggestions? Other than trading in my brain for a newer model with more RAM?
