Re: [ubuntu-uk] Accessing Shared folders on a Windows 7 machine from Ubuntu 10.04

I have installed Samba and changed the Workgroup name on the Ubuntu machine to match that of the Windows 7 machine. The Ubuntu machine sees the 7 machine, but all that happens when I try to access the shares is that the log-on screen keeps returning and I can't access the shares. Any thoughts as to what I should be looking at? Have you allowed a user to the share in the smb.conf? And have you added the user to the samba database using smbpasswd? -Matt Daubney -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] How do I turn off viewing all windows zoomed out?
There is an option somewhere in Ubuntu that I set a while ago that means that when I move my mouse to the left side of the screen, all opens windows are shown small in a kind of grid on the screen. I can then click on a window to zoom into that one to use normally. However, I have completely forgotten how to make or change the setting. I want to change it or switch it off, as every time I move my mouse near the top left of the screen to access a File menu in a program, everything zooms out and I have to select the window of the program I want. If I keep moving the mouse just a few pixels too far to the left, it all zooms out again. How do I access the setting for this? I have looked through everything I can think of, including Compiz settings and SystemPreferencesAppearance.# I am using Ubuntu 9.04.

Ubuntu Tweak has a nice UI to change corners, as well.

I disabled Scale in Compiz and now I can put my mouse where I want without zooming out to all windows.

[ubuntu-uk] Want to create an advert for Ubuntu?
Hello all! I'm Dante, Project Leader of the Ubuntu Advert Team, and WE need YOU! We are creating advert(s) for Ubuntu, for a non-technical audience. These adverts will be on the radio, at cinemas and (when we get enough funding together) on the TV. We need literally everyone, from graphics artists to actors to animators to writers and translators. This material will be also be given to the LoCo teams. We are acquiring studio access in Gloucester (Gloucestershire College) and our work will also find it's way onto the Ubuntu homepage. I don't think I need to stress that this is very important; this is Ubuntu making itself known to the public for the first time. Please, help us make it great. Join us if you can/want to help.
