[ubuntu-uk] glass effects in fiesty
Hi, The desktop effects in Feisty don't seem to want to give me the 'glass effects'. I had these when I was running Breezy and would like them back. Any ideas how to turn them on?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Feisty upgrade
Only problem is the suspend functionality. If I pick the suspend option when logging out, it seems to work. If I set it to suspend when I close the lid, I get the gdm login screen when I bring it back up. Is this fixable? Note I had similar problems under Edgy. It sort of works on mt Inspiron 2200, sometimes it suspends, sometimes it don't, it just adds to the fun lol Baz -- + http://walkertopia.com Free Multi User Dungeon on line game: telnet walkertopia.com 4040 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

If you were running a desktop or workstation I'd say go for the upgrade, because I'm really impressed with Fiesty. But for a server I'd stick with what's working.

Baz Hi Baz, Here is the method I used, around a month ago. I'm sure the upgrade will be fine for you, but the usual disclaimers apply. There's always that remote possibility that your box doesn't boot back up after upgrading. - From Gnome, press Alt+F2 - Type the following into the run box: gksudo 'update-manager -c -d' - Click Upgrade in the top right corner of the Update Manager. - Wait a minute or so for it to do some magic. - Click Upgrade. Hope this helps. Kris Thanks that seemed to go ok, only lost Nvu, which I've now installed from their site.
