ubuntu 8.10 desktop effects

[@coolwaterdvr]

I finally got the effects working. Very cool!

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

elevate, run the application that retrieves packages, then basically tell it to install the Applet which will let you change settings to Compiz, which is the application which allows desktop effects such as this. I'm running Hardy right now, so I don't know how much the "System>Preferences>Whatever" differs, since the post below, NewJerseyTico, mentions a different menu branch.

[@HyperionBadger]

You want to select a download server location that is physically close to where you are, if not at least within the same country. Even if you choose a server close to you however, you might not have as good of a download speed as one from across the country due to different factors like traffic and stuff. Universities are normally pretty good and reliable, for me at least.

Nice wallpaper.

[@dean5778]

There are ways to get these effects like Expose, 3D Cube, and 3D desktop explorer. Just google "Cube Desktop!" Works a treat. If you want the full version there is one floating around on a torrent, or rapidshare which I have.

All you have to do to dual boot is to insert the Ubuntu disk and click install inside of windows no changes made to the OS other then a boot setting allowing you to either go into Windows or Linux/Ubuntu its not as easy to use as windows well I'd say it is but its different. So i highly recommend dual booting first for a while to see if you actually like it. If you need help you can PM me or post it here I'm sure someone will help you.

[@tomasosores]

Very impressive.. but maybe it is too much for me.. What hardware are you using for the video?

[@Taino_ve_2K]

go to add/remove programs, enable "all available applications", then write in the search box "COMPIZ", finally install "ADVANCE DESKTOP EFFECTS", after the installation is finished go to system->preferences->advance desktop effects or(compizconfig settings manager) just enable whatever you want and have fun =D

[@HyperionBadger]

Thank you very much, and one more thing if you don't mind. it says you have to put ubuntu on a CD? i thought it was just like on your computer. do you know what that's all about?

[@KingOkami]

thank you! you the man!

[@Benthaitakeaway]

i used to have unbuntu and fuck it was quick, but only problem was it had WAY too many problems and errors in it, also it would not connect with my router to update , so now im back with XP ..... but ubuntu was pretty awsome :)

[@nicolay111111111]

[@kaaabes]

The Effect is called 'Expo`

[@gate077]

what is the software do you use to record your desktop

[@eloyADAN]

really easy and to uninstall go to add/remove programs then put a diferent os on or boot with a different one. try using wubi ubuntu installer to boot both ways lol thats how i did :D

[@bhushan790]

Guys i just wanted to ask...... does this automatically configure all the drivers such as my graphic card 8600GT and my other motherboard drivers including the audio?

[@Captainblindjustice]

hey can you send me a link, that lists all the codes necessary for me to install those effects on my computer.

[@battleonic]

[@shadow60793]

[@aronbach]

Don't know how it is elsewhere but here at least console games are really expensive. Plus you can't use bittorrent with a console so.... ;)

[@HyperionBadger]

[@julianbell90]

[@jesnin13]

[@NatrijevaLuzina]

[@darkalligator]

If ubuntu just could bring easy installation to graphic cards, and read mp3 files easily and also play dvd movies. Im not asking for heaven, am I?.Maybe is stupid to ask, but why aint there any software for buntu and similars as good and powerful as adobe premiere or vegas,and so others outstanding production audio software?, isnt the best software designers working for open source? Id love 2 use ubuntu, but sadly you cant find software as good for windows. Beautyful effects but worthless.

[@Brozium]

[@knightofhell7890]

everybody knows vista suck thats why many people still stick tp xp and older windows an linux.
