Fwd: gsmartcontrol for Kubuntu 8.04

[ray burke]

Clay,

I installed from
"https://launchpad.net/~dnjl/+archive/ppa/+files/gsmartcontrol_0.8.4-2%7Ednjl0_i386.deb"
but nothing happened, then I tried
installing when I was online and came saying installed, but cant seem
to find the
control start for it?
