          what version are you using?  ???

          I can see it on x86 and amd64 full hd install.

          squid
          squid-reverse
          squid3

          check both tabs.

          Available packages and Installed packages on system -> packages menu option

            I've checked it last night and it was empty. I've double checked it now it's still empty.
            /var/squid/logs that is

            I like to fill my tub up with water, then turn the shower on and act like I'm in a submarine that's been hit!

              So change gui option to match your current dir.

              If gui points to a dir that does not exists, maybe your problem is there.

                  I got to work!

                  Friendly guy jigp from IRC channel pointed me to enable Transparent proxy under General tab after that /var/squid/log/access.log started to populate.

                  Now I have to figure out how to cache youtube videos, ideas?

                  BTW thank you for your help!

                      Are you referring to this project http://code.google.com/p/youtube-cache/
