cool. not often i see a gnome desktop like that. any info on the digital clock?

ourdesktops.com i found this website to share with you, some amazing ideas to be seen

to really liven it up install kde4 (kubuntu, opensuse, arch) beats the pants off the rest

trying out ubuntu (gnome) looking for the perfect desktop, will be trying kde4 soon Dust theme with nuoveXT icons

It matters not, problem fixed :D

I tried running as root sudo passwd root but got the same error, even when trying kdesu konqueror the same error comes up, i have not emptied the cache as i do not know how yet

no, i just have the one user sudo chown -R john /media/sda1 This command may give me access to the mount as root, As far as i know the errors are saying that permission not granted, but yet the edited files remain edited and how they should be

here are the errors, in each command kwrite opened up and i edited the files, it is Kubuntu so kdesudo was instead of kdesu Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-john" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. Error: "/tmp/kde-john" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. Error: "/tmp/ksocket-john" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. john@kubuntu:~$ kdesudo kwrite /etc/ppp/chap-secrets Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-john" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.

:mellow: I have a USB modem and driver When i run Gnome it is easy to install, but i'm trying to run it on KDE so far I have managed to extract the firmware files and copy them to the appropriate location. the i'm stuck on is configuring the connection as the instructions are for Gnome examples gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/ueagle-atm gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/chap-secrets gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets gksudo gedit /etc/init.d/modem-startup appreciate your help [moved from Hardware by spinynorman]

thankyou for the replies

In the fonts folder are 100plus differing types but as you can see i only have 4 selected (attached doc) if we delete the ones not in use will that create any problems to the system?

:P cool

yes , i run gnome and are just looking at your gdesklets link btw anyone know if gdesklets can be auto started at boot?

:) Just need some enlightenment on what are the options or programs to have a desktop clock as i've never looked into it? any suggestions welcome

this is a long shot but a few years ago someone on here posted a wallpaper (it may of been from a previous screen shot that they posted) this wallpaper seemed popular with us all. i've been looking and looking the forums and have resorted to making a post (it really was that good) in the attempt it my jog someones memory, The wallpaper was generally black in colour, it was blured and shiny and mostly the same all over it was not abstact with lots of shapes or patterns, it may have had some white in the shiny blur
