all of my plugins seem to have disappeared... how odd...

EDIT:
Had a look on the first page about missing plugins, tried to follow the steps but got

"cpcannot stat 'usr/share/mupen64plus/config/mupen64plus.conf' : no sjuch file or directory"


hmmmm... i also got an error when i tried to do the chown bit, after sudo gainroot.

".mupen64plus: no such file or directory"

Weird... the only thing i can think that might have caused this is the apt-get bit in the 'easy six axis guide' thread which seemed to update loads of stuff... would have been nice to know that's what it was about to do... speaking of which, can you explain what the chown command you posted actually does?
