hello there again. it's me again, the newbie who asked on how to install cairo-clock theme. i tried typing sudo nautilus in the terminal and this is what it says:

"Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory
Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

and one more thing.... "add and remove" (where could i find that?)"...please bear with me, i am really new here and i really wanna learn more about ubuntu. thanks!

Hi, Sorry to hear of your problem, This is a new one! The only thing I can think of at this point would be to remove "cairo-clock" in synaptic, open synaptic,
SYSTEM>ADMINISTRATION>SYNAPTIC PACKAGE MANAGER, type in cairo clock, And mark for complete removal, try that and see if it works,then if it does, Try reinstalling cairo-clock again,keep me posted as to the out come so I can keep tab's on the fix, thanks

I am sure you know who I am. I would like your permission to debianize your clock it is modded to go with the upcoming UE 2.4 theme you can see it here http://forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1670 It has not been released to even my admin.

In my case, I downloaded version 2.0.8.tar.gz and then I made the deb for 64 bit version that I have installed after because I want to operate with my sistem in freedom without involving the root. in this
case i have my clock folder in home/.config/cairo-dock/extra/cairo-clock and drop the clock themes there, you can proceed to activate the clock in your dock, then you can move the clock where you want. Sorry for my english
