[00:02] Could someone please walk me through the steps for setting up a network between a windows and linux machine for file shearing [00:10] xethx, install samba pacakge for starters... [00:10] done [00:10] there may or may not be 'share this folder' options on the context menus.. [00:11] OR you set up some shares in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file [00:11] You may want to edit that file to set the proper workgroup in any case. [00:25] I just finnished an update after install 8.10 w/nvidia drivers, compiz is window manager but I do not have any effects and ccsm has no options in the window... any suggestions? [00:30] Hello all [00:30] could someone help me with the last part of setting up samba [00:42] Anyone there? [00:42] yea [00:42] Action, just my man [00:42] sup bro [00:42] Im trying to set up a media server between my winbox and lin box using samba [00:43] yeah [00:43] have you installed samba? [00:43] I got most everything set up but on the last part i have a problem [00:43] and yes [00:43] hold on I will send you the link [00:43] what you having problem with? [00:43] You will see [00:46] !paste > xethx [00:46] xethx, please see my private message [00:48] pastebinit /etc/samba/smb.conf [00:48] http://pastebin.com/f429689c7 [00:48] My rather... large smb.conf for my media-fileserver machine. :) [00:48] it has like 8 hard drives on it [00:50] And yes - i have read the 'using samba' book in the 'samba-doc' package several times.. :) to learn samba config FUNdamentals [00:50] I even have 'using samba' in Printed form.. from a bookstore. :) True it was on sale/clearance :) but i do own the book. heh [00:51] are there any good games to play on linux? [00:51] depenmds on what kind of games you like. [00:51] FreeCol, FreeCiv, Battle for Wesnoth - are faves of mine [00:51] Rocks and Diamonds - another fave [00:52] Dr_willis_: mmorpg [00:52] Many of the comerical MMORPG clients can work in wine. [00:52] SecondLife has a native linux client i belive.. and theres a few others with native clients. [00:52] Then theres a few Free/GPL MMORPGs out. [00:53] IRC = the ultimate MMORPG [00:54] Dr_willis_: do you know how to get second life? [00:55] I would have to say ' google for ubuntu second life' and see what repo has it.. I forget what one if any does any more.. [00:55] Second Life qualifies as a game? [00:55] I explored second life for about a day.. then got sick of every place being a S&M Parlor, or store trying to sell Virtual Sex Toys [00:55] Dragnslcr, if mmorpgs qualify - i dont see why not. :) [00:56] second life is'nt a game, it's a virtual world [00:56] I thought Second Life was just IRC with flying "body parts" everywhere [00:56] Its a stupid game.. They just try to overhype the whole 'we are a virtual world' thing.. to make it sound imporntant. :) [00:56] I still wish I could find another game like Freelancer [00:57] The most enteraining stuff bout secondlife is not the 'game' itself.. its all the hype and stuff that goes on around the game and company, and other companies trying to figure out how to cash in on it. [00:57] Second life is'nt overhyped due it's a virtual world, it's overhyped due the same mistakes as web 1.0 in the ninties [00:58] starting a webpage with contact information, and not answering e-mails etc. [00:58] http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php , there you'll find a linux beta [00:58] At least the 2nd life guys did GPL the client.. Not that ive heard much more about it. [00:58] hi all [00:59] at One time Some repos had second life in them.. but that may not be the case any more [01:00] hey peeps does anyone know what the slang meaning is for wigan thadon ? [01:01] is tha a kubuntu question? [01:01] nah [01:02] !ot [01:02] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!

[01:04] Is there a way to delete nepomuk tags in kde? I made some errors when I first tagged images and I want to remove the tag so it doesn't show up in gwenview/nepomuksearch:/ [01:05] restricted? [01:05] do you have the restricted extras? [01:06] or the repos thhat have restricted formats [01:06] I think I don't have them, when I'm searching Adept for kopete, there is only 1 result, default kopete [01:07] go to your software sources and enable 3rd party spources [01:07] Do you know the complete apt source line for the restricted extras? [01:07] sources [01:08] not off hand but it's in the wiki [01:09] I had some enabled there, don't know the source for the kopete extra's [01:09] search the ubuntu wiki for the info it's there [01:09] ok [01:10] ignore the fact that non free stuff isn't recommended [01:11] btw kopete also has there own site === rodrigo is now known as DigoUnited [01:13] http://kopete.kde.org === familia is now known as Koala_ [01:19] Hmm, can't find it sorry [01:20] Hi, I want to install the "chromium" .deb package (its the crossover port of google's chrome browser.) apparently only available as a .deb. Does anyone have a general hint for me about what command(s) are used on .deb packages? [01:20] I'm searching at Google to for KDE 4.2 and Kopete, only a discussion about compiling and librarys [01:20] konqueror is suggesting ark and that doesn't seem right.

[01:23] Raceman: it's in the kopete package [01:23] stdin: So far as I know, i've installed the kopete package by adept [01:24] or do I've to reinstall it after the KDE 4.2 upgrade? [01:25] no, it's there /usr/lib/kde4/kopete_wlm.so is the plugin (wlm = Window Live Messenger) [01:26] And how can I use that one? do I need some configuring work in kopete, or compiling that with a command line command? [01:27] it should just work, magically [01:27] it does'nt ;p [01:27] that's my problem [01:27] have you asked in #kopete ? [01:28] No, did'nt know about that channel, good hint, thanks [01:33] stdin: fixed it by help from there, it was easy ;p [01:40] anybody using the kde4.2 beta2?

[02:03] xxx [02:04] people! [02:04] its called tilda [02:04] yes [02:04] i know [02:05] ralpho: i thoght it was 'tilde' [02:05] HOW CAN I HIDE ICONS THAT HAVE TILDA [02:06] petr- there seems to be a problem with your caps lock key [02:06] like any icon that ends in that? [02:06] omg *scrolling up* the repeat key too [02:06] whatever the NAME of it .. how does he HIDE those icons (on the desktop ? ) [02:06] yes [02:07] all files that a modyfy have duplicates index.php and index.php~ [02:07] the second one is a backup file [02:07] you'd have better luck disabling the creation of the backup files [02:07] I want to hide files that have tilda in end of name [02:07] since there isn't a way to hide them [02:07] id disable the creation of those files [02:07] there is no 'real' way to hide them [02:08] that i know of [02:08] other than modifying the source code of window manager to not show them [02:09] in the editor's configuration menu there should be an Open/Save section [02:09] "modifying the source code of window manager to not show them" - where can I modyfy this cod [02:09] in the advanced tab there are options to disable backup files [02:09] e [02:09] is there not something for the desktop to show, or NOT show, files ? [02:10] or you could just remove the suffix of ~ and use the prefix of . [02:10] JontheEchidna: thats probably the best suggestion [02:10] and it'll still make backups, but files starting with . get hidden automatically [02:11] (you would change this in the same dialog I mentioned earlier) [02:11] petr, that may be the easiest 'fix' [02:11] no [02:11] whole file mast be deleted or hided [02:12] yes, you can change it to prefix it with "." in the configuration dialog I mentioned, and it will be hidden [02:12] if it gets the PREFIX . that will hide it [02:13] and then the tilde will not show up [02:13] Settings -> Configure KWrite (probably the same with Kate) -> Open/Save section -> advanced tab [02:14] from the advanced tab you can either disable backup files entirely or change it so that they will be hidden by giving them a prefix of . [02:16] note that you will have to deal with the backup files already created manually [02:16] this will just stop it from making new ones in the future [02:19] ))) all good thanks === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [02:35] People, I have one another question. I installed apache2, mysql, php, but files in directory /var/www/ belong to root, but I am not root (I am user "petr" that became root when I write "sudo kate index.php") But if I open index.php witout sudo I can not change files that locate in /var/www/ . How can I change my rights on this directory? And why am I not root in default? I mast put password ever! When I onen file with bush "sudo kate index.php" [02:35] - all good. When I double-click on icon - I can not change the file [02:36] You don't want web files owned by your normal user account === ki is now known as kikokoko [02:37] That would give them access to your personal files [02:37] bonsoir il y a t-il quelqu'un qui parle francais? [02:37] !fr [02:37] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [02:37] bonsoir ))) [02:37] Привет [02:38] may be russian? [02:38] "That would give them access to your personal files" how ? [02:38] petr: "sudo chown -R petr:petr /var/www/" should give you permissions to write there [02:39] AAAAAA [02:39] thanka [02:39] and I don't think that would give people access to your files... [02:40] ohoh [02:40] Depends [02:41] The web server would need access to files owned by the user [02:41] http://kpp2.homelinux.com/ [02:41] it is this index.php file [02:41] as long as it's contained to /var/www it should be ok though, right? [02:41] So a security hole in any scripts could give that same access to files in /home/user [02:42] if they were owned as root and a security hole was exploited they could do anything with your computer they damn pleased, file ownership wouldn't change anythign [02:43] The web server having that kind of access to files owned by root isn't any better [02:43] You should create a separate user for web files [02:43] might be a good idea, that way any damage done would be contained to that account [02:43] Apache should already be running as its own account [02:44] ok [02:44] Looks like Ubuntu uses www-data as the Apache account [02:45] as long as www-data doesn't have access to your home folder I think you should be ok. [02:46] you definitely wouldn't want to give www-data access to everything, that's just asking for trouble [02:46] it was www-data but work with files that belong to www-data is not comfortably [02:47] I understand === jeffrey_ is now known as K-Ryan [02:48] Hey everybody, quick question, hopefully. [02:48] shoot [02:48] When I open up the "Hardware Drivers" program and try to activate this ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX driver, nothing happens when I click activate. [02:49] Can't seem to highlight the driver either, it's just greyed out. [02:49] Does anyone knows how i could resolve my problem with gnome not starting up (blocked after logon screen), see : http://pastebin.com/m2a565434 for some messages [02:49] What am I not doing right? Missing something? [02:50] What is easy way to wark with files that belong to www-data "user"? Now I mast open all files in bash across sudo, delete all files across sudo. It is not good [02:50] petr- that is good. It's called security [02:50] mhmm sorry i thought i was in ubuntu ^^ [02:50] )) [02:50] ok [02:51] petr- if you need to edit a bunch of files at once, you can do 'kdesudo kate' to run kate as root [02:51] But server have access only to directory /var/www/ and have not access to another directories/subdirectories [02:54] Scripts could have access to anything that the user has permission to [02:54] , It is suitable variant! good [02:54] yes I know [02:54] ok [02:54] Anyone know if installing xorg-driver-fglrx will solve the problem I'm having? [02:58] I seem to have figured this one out, it's working now. [02:58] Thanks anyway guys [02:58] K-Ryan: you would probably need to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf by hand to get your computer to use the driver too [02:58] oh, good [02:58] Oh yeah, that's not a problem. I've done it in the past but if there is an easier way of doing it... [02:59] I'm having another problem too actually which I think may be semi-related to not having the video driver yet. [02:59] come to think of it I have had the driver manager not actually do anythign when I press activate too... [02:59] definitely weird behavior [02:59] I have broken grub on my machine and can't boot. I had messed with the partitions, but basically the long short of it is, that Windows 2003 overwrote the bootsector, and even after fixing it, now all my linux installs can't seem to be able to find root [02:59] When attempting to switch to a different resolution through the system settings and even using the xrandr -s command, i hang and have to restart. [03:00] Brb, restarting for driver === fenris_ is now known as ejat === jeffrey_ is now known as K-Ryan [03:03] Yep, getting the driver fixed the other problem. [03:03] So here's to a new install of Kubuntu on a new box. [03:05] Has anyone noticed that KDE4 is extremely slow when using the vesa Xorg driver? [03:06] nosrednaekim: effects enabled or disabled? [03:06] disabled of course; its impossble to enable them [03:07] nosrednaekim: I was actually surprised yesterday at how good things were doing with the vesa driver [03:07] Xorg uses 100% of the Cpu when moving a window (1.6ghz single core) [03:07] dwidmann: funny.... what graphics chip? [03:07] nosrednaekim: radeonhd 4350 [03:08] I'm using a crap Via, not sure of the model.... It worked beautifully under kde3 though [03:09] nosrednaekim: matter which version of kde4 though? [03:09] maybe... I'm running a 4.2 beta on jaunty [03:10] nosrednaekim: I was just using a stock intrepid install at the time [03:10] nosrednaekim: just put that one together yesterday [03:11] is apache the best development server for linux? [03:11] yeah, I think I might go back to Hardy.... [03:11] nosrednaekim: could just compile yourself a kde3, if you've got the time [03:11] ubuntu_: webserver? depends.... its the most widely used though [03:12] dwidmann: hardy is far easier :P [03:12] Why are you using vesa with a 4350 HD? [03:13] on kubuntu, where is the import folder? [03:13] DaSkreech: I'm not anymore, but I had just installed and that's what it was using per default [03:13] and where is the lib folder? [03:14] nosrednaekim: is there a better choice? [03:15] ubuntu_: there is lightppd and many others, but apache is the most versatile so its probably a safe bet to use it, yes === dw_ is now known as malaikat_malas [03:16] Hashishanin: The Import folder ?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:16] Yes, I believe it's supposed to be a place in gcc's searthpath. [03:16] Is there such a thing as an import, or lib folder? [03:16] /lib ? [03:18] is there such a place as /import or have you never heard of such a directorY?

[03:36] Good Question I don't know :) [03:38] DaSkreech: my idea was to bring the data over into the new install, using the live cd... Is it easy to exchange files between two dual booted oses? [03:38] If you have the right file system [03:38] I'm still not sure what you are installing [03:38] xp is using ntfs... [03:39] kubuntu. [03:41] ok well the repartition won't destroy any files as long as you have space [03:43] i got a little less then 10 gb... [03:44] is it easy to access files under ntfs windows xp from kubunutu? [03:45] Yes [03:45] I think it depends on the file system you are using [03:47] How much space over all does the hard drive have? [03:47] White_Pelican: He just said ntfs :) [03:47] Assuming that ubuntu_ is a he [03:47] I mean in kubuntu [03:48] as I recall ntfs support doesn't exist in jfs [03:48] White_Pelican: jfs? [03:48] Shouldn't ntfs support depend on the fuse ntfs-3g driver? (which has read/write support) [03:49] astromme_'s correct; the jfs driver has no such support [03:50] I could be dead wrong but I seem to recall if you're using jfs on the Linux side, you can't go between xp and linux [03:50] crimsun: But why should the filesystem driver on linux make any difference? [03:50] You have 2 partitions, one windows, one linux. [03:51] If you want to read your linux partition from within windows you should stick with ext2/3 and even then its sketchy [03:51] blessedbeef! [03:52] But the other way around, reading the windows ntfs partition from linux, ONLY depends on the ntfs-3g fuse driver. And that driver does not care what your linux filesystem is formatted as [03:52] sorry, i got disconnected. did you answer my question?

[04:01] DaSkreech: the jfs driver does not support reading and writing ntfs partitions [04:02] * DaSkreech goes to read up on JFS [04:03] Though as far as I know the jfs driver should only have support for jfs. Not sure why it would need a driver for anything else [04:05] DaSkreech: precisely what i implied [04:16] Anyone here good with samba?

[05:08] DaSkreech, nothing, I just saw the ouput of xev and of xmodmap -kp [05:09] hmm ok Iguess that should work [05:10] DaSkreech, xev is detecting the Sleep key (code 150) and 150 is mapped to XF86Sleep according to xmodmap -kp, however it does not suspend [05:10] DaSkreech, btw, this is a desktop PC === solid_liq is now known as CodeGuru [05:35] Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee [05:37] I'm having a problem.

[05:41] DaSkreech: Any ideas what it might be? [05:42] The audio server or the kernel kicking in a higher priority [05:42] DaSkreech: Usually when this happens, it is due to my external drive being stuck in a read state, but I checked and it wasn't the case this time [05:43] DaSkreech: ahhh... and this helps brings down the system? [05:43] Well it depends on what kicks over the system freeze [05:43] I see..

[11:37] I was trying to get onto irc with kopete but it doesn't seem to off an irc plugin [11:38] hm, never used kopete, but it's an instant messenger app, so no wonder [11:38] is that different to irc? [11:39] I used to use kopete (I think) to connect to irc under kde 3.5 [11:39] there's yes, instant messaging is for individual talk [11:39] ok [11:39] william: in 3.5 it was konversation [11:39] william: currently no-one made working irc-plugin for Kopete [11:39] oh right [11:40] I have found the Kubuntu FAG and will read through it now, thank you for your help. [11:40] is there a ubuntu nvidia irc channel? [11:40] william: you can use Konversation in kde 4 too [11:40] why?

[11:42] e.g: apache, mysql, postgres, etc... [11:42] Tm_T, yes, I am looking forward to KDE 4.2 [11:43] kde 4 is the main reason I switched away from gentoo... that and the fact that so many of their packages are way out of date [11:43] william: you always have config files [11:43] oh good [11:44] william: 99.9 % of time GUI apps only handle those config files [11:44] am used to config files.

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[11:44] hehe [11:45] there is, if you set one [11:45] I don't feel comfortable knowing that someone else know my root password [11:45] oh, ic [11:45] but by default, there is none [11:46] ok, I'll stick with sudo [11:46] although it would be handy if there was some kinda agent that would remember the sudo password accross all logins/terminals [11:46] sort or like ssh-agent does for ssh [11:47] it takes a while to get used to any new environment so I am willing to give it a few weaks === martin__ is now known as Mopedator [11:50] I'm going to install ubuntu server edition later once I have configured my laptop [11:53] with sudo, can anyone run root commands on the system? === ros is now known as ros_ === ros_ is now known as mcmonkeys1 [11:56] william: sudo rights are only granted to the first user on install [11:56] but of course you can add more users to the sudoers group and tune the rights accordingly [11:58] Mamarok, ok that makes sence [11:58] of course, everything else would not make sense at all :) === ahmed is now known as Guest73870 [12:01] ciao [12:02] enterprize sono luc ciao...sono in difficoltà [12:03] !it | casa [12:03] casa: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[12:05] william: yes [12:05] william: the group is actually named "admin" [12:06] so if I added a user to the group admin they would be able to sudo? [12:06] william: yes [12:06] ok, thanks [12:07] william: the permissions who is allowed to "sudo" is configured in /etc/sudoers file [12:08] william: be aware if you add somebody to admin group he/she can do everything on the system. including to kick you out of the admin group. === eric is now known as Guest40591 [12:12] Hii every body [12:12] can anybody give me the configuration options for a quadro 570m with nv driver for kde4 === Guest73870 is now known as Senior [12:12] or point me to a page where they are documented?

[12:22] rbrunhuber: How could I?? [12:24] rbrunhuber: it worked only once when I installed ubuntu [12:24] Senior: if you go on the tcp/ip properties of your nic. if there is a manually entered ip address you do NOT use dhcp.

[13:23] klaus: switch to the vesa driver so you can get an x server and you can diagnose from there [13:24] yes rbrunhuber [13:25] then i use the recovery menu to use the standard driver the x server dosent work so i dont see anything at the screen [13:25] klaus: you are on a console on the machine now? [13:26] rbrunhuber: any other ideas? [13:27] yes [13:27] peabody: sorry no. I'm not in the posession of such a device.

Sry for not -linux specific question [13:31] Senior: No it's still the same. Not nice but i think it is ok. Can you try to reboot the machine and see if the network is working then? [13:31] Senior: this is the easiest way. If it works or not, please come back here to report. [13:32] rbrunhuber: ok but can I take ur email incase.....

[13:36] no driver in the sections for the ati grafik card or the screen [13:37] klaus: then we should just add it manually ;-). [13:38] was that "fglrx" or some thing chanded?

[13:46] okay sorry [13:47] rbrunhuber: are you busy ??? [13:48] Senioor: Not too much, I'm just thinking about the "strategy" ;-). [13:49] klaus: maybe you should do a restart now and see if it works out. [13:49] hey [13:49] rbrunhuber: Look.. when I open any Mp3,, the slide bar shows that it is working and also the time but with no sound [13:50] Senioor: totally silly question is your volume turned up and all your channels unmuted? ;-) [13:50] I've just installed the new kubuntu, but there is a problem with my task bar: the icons are almost not visible and they do not respond at all when I click on them. [13:50] it is almost like the icons are put in the background and they are disabled [13:51] any ideas on how I can fix by taskbar? [13:51] rbrunhuber: never mind,, Yes I'm sure that they are all working [13:51] Senioor: did this work before? [13:52] I can add new widgets and they appear normal, but those which were already there are hardly visible and do not respond at all [13:53] I cannot even select different menus or pages which I have opened [13:53] !mods|rbrunhuber [13:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about mods [13:53] rbrunhuber: look,,, it works only at the startup of the ubuntu,,, but it the sound is weired,, [13:54] !mod|rbrunhuber [13:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about mod [13:54] rbrunhuber: it makes ,, tententen tententententententen,, like that,, and it continues for ever,, when when I'm talking to you now [13:55] Senioor: This can mean that your soundcard is not (yet) supported. [13:56] thanks for your help rbrunhuber but i forgot that the aticonfig was running on that machine so starting this an let the ati app configuratet the xorg.conf was the right way to resolve [13:56] i hate the grafik driver problems [13:56] rbrunhuber: I think so ..... so what can I do [13:56] Senioor: pastebin me the output of "lspci" please [13:56] so happy new year an thanks !

[14:19] hello, I been using ubuntu for a day now and am loving it. I had some probs with performance but went to the nvidia website and installed their latest beta drivers 1.80 which fixed all my problems. I was wondering if kde 4.2 beta2 is stable enough for use? [14:19] or else, is it safe to install it and then revert back to 4.1 later? === DS-BrB is now known as DarkSmoke [14:20] william_: I haven't really had any problems with it, beta2 is quite good [14:21] (you can't really downgrade easily though) [14:22] ooh, I think I will install it anyway ;-) since it says that their are performance enhancements and I still feel that 4.1 is a little bit slow even with the latest nvidia 1.80 drivers [14:22] happy new year, I'll let you know if I works haha [14:28] OK, So when I plug in my Sansa Fuze, it doesn't appear that my system is detecting it. I tried running lsusb and I don't see the device there [14:36] peabody: Have you set it to MCP mode instead of Auto or MTP mode ? [14:36] yes [14:36] I have a E200, and when I turn it on while holding LEFT and HOLD it forces it into MCP mode. I can't seem to find a similar function on the Fuze [14:37] but when I go to system settings -> usb mode -> MCP it doesn't do shit [14:37] MSC [14:37] !ohmy | peabody [14:37] peabody: Please watch your language, attitude and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! [14:38] but when I go to system settings -> usb mode -> MSC it doesn't do anything [14:40] why doesn't lsusb show the device though? [14:40] There must be something to that [14:40] I went here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TroubleShootingGuide [14:40] and there's NOTHING on troubleshooting USB devices [14:41] is there anyone around that can help me get my compiz effects working - Specifically, I have no cube and no liquid effects working?

[14:46] I got help in this channel the 1st go round and tried to redo what was explained to me before but I must have missed something cuz compiz is not workin now :( [14:46] well, first, go into adept package manager [14:47] install compiz-fusion, ccsm, and emerald [14:48] anyone here have video problems in intrepid...............squiggly lines that randomly show up...nvidia [14:49] peabody: Try unloading the usb1 driver and load the usb2 driver. eg: sudo modprobe -r uhci_hcd then: sudo modprobe ehci_hcd [14:50] kevbuntu, I cannot find exact match for compiz-fusion = compiz-fusion-bcop is the closest and compiz-fusion-plugins-main (extra and unsupported) are the other 3... which should I use? [14:51] dougl: ok, install compiz then [14:51] peabody: If this works, after you can blacklist the usb1 driver and load the usb2 driver instead from /etc/modules [14:51] no difference [14:52] wait one sec, I'm working out a major writeup [14:52] kevbuntu, doing them now [14:52] I once typed in an Add to SMPlayer Playlist ´application´ because kubuntu 8 did not have it, where did i save that file? I think it had to be named .desktop [14:52] peabody: Anything appear on dmesg output when you plug/unplug the thing?

[15:01] I just tried that, it only shows /dev/sda [15:02] kevbuntu, I have navigated to system settings and under the advanced section found window manager and selected compiz - sec I will restart x and see if it is working - brb [15:03] kevbuntu, liquid effects are working now - thanks... trying to figure out cube now. [15:04] you're welcome [15:04] kevbuntu, are there any other decoration packages besides emerald? [15:04] err - and do you know where you select the emerald option? [15:08] i'm sure there are, but I don't know them off hand.
