Looking Glass on Ubuntu

[jamie78ful]

now you too can be like Tom Cruise. These damned trickles purported to be genuine advances shit me

[QVear]

Do you know why lg3d was cancelled? It was interesting project and I would certainly replace my KWin effects with it.

[coin3d]

@QVear It was cancelled because Steve Jobs said he would sue Sun if they would try to commercialize it. See Jonathan Schwartzs blog

[QVear]

@coin3d Well, now Steve Jobs suing them is not a problem anymore. Too bad no one didn't take it and fork. It's far better than compiz and unlike it it's true 3D (in compiz there are some 3d effects, but you can't rotate any window to any angle)

[snuhr]

@coin3d

now when that fucker is dead maybe they could reinstate it

[ElanderSkull8]

if you could plz make a tutorial of this, it would be gerat and ull get alot of hits

[vaibzzz123]

PLEASE GIVE A TUTORIAL, PLEASE!!!!!

[Billthesheepdog]

will ubuntu install and run on an iMac system?

[casselinux]

Yes

[vaibzzz123]

@Billthesheepdog of course, Linux can run on my cofee machine! (no sarcasm)

[skitmen]

Whoah Dude, Whoah! Sick! this looks like James Bond's PC. Cool

[RidgeRacerLord]

@Suhcuihpo you can install photoshop in 4 minutes with vista? touche, however i can LEGALLY download AND install it and get it running FASTER in under 30 minutes in ubuntu. take that you vista fanboy. (btw- vista = worst OS EVER)



[wachuneed]

@RidgeRacerLord Hahah omg he actually thinks vista is good???!?!?! haha

So you can get photoshop for Ubuntu? I need photoshop for Ubuntu becouse im moving over to Ubuntu on my second partition.Can you give me e website to download it?Thanks in advance

[RidgeRacerLord]

@wachuneed there isnt a native version of photoshop for ubuntu that i know of, BUT

There are two ways to get photoshop running in ubuntu.

1. WINE

2. Emulate Windows

WINE should do the trick just fine. To get wine, in ubuntu: Go to the ubuntu software center. Search for WINE. Install.

Photoshop is a .exe so just find where photoshop is, right click, open with WINE.

[wachuneed]

@RidgeRacerLord Gimp?

and ok im going to install cs5 master collection

[RidgeRacerLord]

@wachuneed GIMP is not photoshop, but it is pretty cool as well.

a little less powerful.

But yeah, if you need more help and stuff, feel free to ask me or you can go to the ubuntu forums. The Linux community will be glad to help, 'cause we are awesome like that.

Cheers!

[wachuneed]

@RidgeRacerLord Haha thank you,and i have used linux for a year now just thought there was a version of photoshop for linux! haha well yea dude,you do HTML editing in linux?

[RidgeRacerLord]

@wachuneed i personally dont do HTML, i let my friends do the HTML, then i do the CSS.

but yeah, they use linux to code their sites.

[wachuneed]

@RidgeRacerLord Oh i do HTML, i know a little bit of CSS also.I got the tweeked version of Ubuntu and it is AWSOME!

I have dreamweaver for pc and bareley used it the other day,haha i always just fix up the templates and just do everything manuely.

And do you know of a program like dreamweaver for linux besides seamonkey?

[vaibzzz123]

@wachuneed you can run Dreamweaver under wine!

[vaibzzz123]

@wachuneed there's a hack to install it under wine

[vaibzzz123]

@RidgeRacerLord it's not so easy with CS5

[countbleck35]

i miss prison break lol

[xTheEmoOctopusx]

I can feel your RAM dying.

[000how]

De donde te lo has bajado? no cancelaron el proecto?

[etmax1]

Stunning eye candy, and very useful for 3D visualisation of whatever, but not overly useful for the desktop itself me thinks

[625Mel]

???

[nukunukufufu]

Because everyone needs to spin things so they are no longer readable. Genius.

It's like, somehow they decided that having the object flat in front of you, and readable wasn't as cool as having to read a page that's all skewed

[iJantsa]

i understood from vista's marketing that this kind of window-control was coming to it..sigh, would've been great..

[Sertrinous]

lawl

[maxtervan]

a la mierda con areo

[Oiehbrequedeboi]

muy bueno! lol!

[MadDawg010]

Looks like this project's dead; they seemed to have dropped it for Project Wonderland.

[RobLutken]

this needs some epic music 2 it and it looks awsome

can this be done in Compiz+fusion?

[christosGTAIV]

linux is better for hacking

[BigBananaMan]

And just about everything else except marketing. If you like commercials and back office corporate deals then this is not the OS of choice.

[swisscheesepotatochi]

那个电脑很帅啊！那个平的电闹珍贵啊。。。真是可惜啊

[nindows98]

ubuntu forever

[XyntaEngine]

"Project Looking glass"

"Stable release 1.0.1 / 2007-01-29; 2 years ago"

lol stale crap is so stale

[GGLoneGWolfGG]

Feels so /g/ in here

[XyntaEngine]

making bicicles s kinda cool ;)

[XyntaEngine]

i tried Looking glass, for me it was a piece of crap. All this was possible years ago with tools like compiz

[thesystems]

Just in case you didn't know. Looking glass was before compiz, XGL or anything like that. Just check the date of this video, from 2006.

[XyntaEngine]

"The first version of Compiz was released as free software by Novell (SUSE) in January 2006 in the wake of the also new Xgl."

And what? Compiz was created in January 2006, this piece of crap in November 2006. And what?

[schmidtbag]

true, but wasn't beryl a little bit older? i'm really not sure but i thought i remembered it being around the same year

[ShadowEater120880]

And before that with Beryl

[moebob24]

Brilliant concept!!!! I love the panning of the desktop wallpaper as the screen switched from desktop to desktop the most. You really get a feeling of a virtual world. The images moving in a 3D circle away from the screen was great too. This is really revolutionary in GUIs.

[psplovr]

Awesome! I actually thought of this idea long time ago but I couldn't code it at the time lol. You simply used the idea that I had and made it even better! I only got to the point where the Desktop will no longer be a 2D plane. Everything would be hovering in a 3D space. Excellent job! (That is...if you are the developer.)

[CompsciWiz]

He's not. Sun is the developer (I believe) and you can add the repo for this on your Ubuntu system. I think you can also download the source and compile if you're not on Ubuntu.

[JHx86]

how much ram do you have and what is your processor speed?

[PivotmasterE2100]

what is ubuntu again?

[banthafooder2]

Its a theme for windows xp

[bradman3001]

rofl

[illegalsmirf]

lol!

[banthafooder2]

Oh come on guys! I was being sarcastic! No need for the thumbs down. I thought it was obvious that I was joking.

[FedoraFTW]

a linux distro

[Freemmaann]

Prison Break!!! FTW! :P

[einsteinmc2300]

that's what SHE said!

[WKmugen]

UBUNTU I ARE INSTALLING NAO!

[havepie]

... fuck the what is right. Crappy playstation.

[JFdiraPtto]

i can ask for what we need this effects?? for nothing...i like Ubuntu and Linux but im not sure to install it because y need crash my head 20 times before i can install some program ..and i don`t really like think how hard is install some game...and find it...that is the reason for i dont change my OS

[MinhyMintyMouse]

dual boot if your not willing to fully install ubuntu

[znpower]

Fantastic... awesome... is that new version of Beryl? or what? From where I can install this and how? I have Ubuntu 8 on my computer installed.

[olehenning]

This has nothing to do with Compiz/Beryl. Project Looking Glass is a 3d Desktop environment sponsored by Sun Microsystems.

Project Looking Glass is cross-platform (GNU/Linux, Solaris and Windows).

I just hope Oracle will continue funding for this.

[zerocoke2008]

nice ;)

[Qwertyctr]

What pc i need for this?

[marioni15]

cualquiera,

[elboru13]

The important thing is that you have to have a 3d graphic card...

And then just need a computer abel to run ubuntu and that's it...

[kimahriTK2]

mm i dont have any video card bue i havea good memory ram so i cant use ubuntu? becouse im try to iinstal ubunto on XP by virtual box

[elboru13]

jaja te hiba a responder en ingles, pero veo que eres de perú, mira ubuntu lo puedes instalar casi con cualquier computadora... Los requerimientos minimos son 256 Gb en RAM y 4 Gb de espacio en tu disco duro, no es necesario una buena tarjeta de video (puedes instalarlo con una tarjeta de video integrada).

Lo de la tarjeta de video 3d es solo si quieres poner los efectos de compiz (cubo, fuego y todo eso) o estos efectos.

[kimahriTK2]

:o gracias!

[elboru13]

de nada....

pd existe una distribución que esta basada en ubuntu que es mas ligera...

Se llama xubuntu y funciona con maquinas de 128 de ram..

Saludos

[elboru13]

pd

puedes instalarlo en virtual box si quieres...

Pero existe tambien la opcion de instalar ubuntu en winXP como si fuera otra simple aplicacion... con: Portable Ubuntu

Googleale un poquito por si te interesa saludos

[kimahriTK2]

si eso saves tb pq intente con virtual boz y no funciona :S lo baje pero no abre :S igualmente paso con xp vista tb no abria :S y tb cuando instale el age of empires III tb.. NO C que pasa con este windows que no puedo instalar mcuahs cosas es un xp service pack 3 y con mi laptop tiene xp service pack 2 y normal pero no eh intentado con el ubunto pq no tiene memorioa rama solo tiene 224 jeje

[WishICouldBeTechDawg]

WABBAFET!

[jorge250492]

Oh, now i'm ready to install this in my Mandriva

[95monye]

which dock are yo using plx tell me?

do you use cairo-dock?

[trickii1]

This was invented on solaris by sun. It was a demonstration how desktops could be in the future.This is running on today linux but it will work on windows and poss mac.Its free to download and try but the code is now opensource.Ever wondered where mac got its dock from or safari windows???

[Americanfootballer]

I like the iTouch better

[smokeywater]

windows is not ONLY for people who know nothing about computers. that would be OSX. Ever heard of a MCSE? MCSA? most domains and networks run off the server versions of windows. Server versions of linux such as red hat enterprise are scarcely used since there is not as much support for them. Clearly you do not know too much about computers or infrastructures yourself.

[rsplayer2006]

Wow and I mean WOW.

Where can I find that?

[w3rtw3rt]

windows is for retards who dont know anything about computers or how they work, so windows fags should just stfu and gtfo

[Chad11491]

and Linux is just for nerds who like to feel special about themselves because they know how to install/run/make programs for it.... stfu...

my uncle has ubuntu and i really like it. I still prefer Windows because of games and recording aps for guitar. Linux just doesn't have mainstream application support.

[adamworth1979]

Windows is nothing more than an expensive gaming console. I have to admit, I use windows for gaming only. When it comes down to doing real work, I use Linux or Solaris (real operating systems). Windows, and especially Vista is for fucking retards.

[Chad11491]

you actually sound like the "fucking retard" i wasn't putting it down, in case you people can't tell that was sarcasm aimed at w3rtw3rt, it wasn't serious. did you all not notice the "and i really like it " part? seriously, you people need better things to do than attack people on youtube....over an operating system....

[futur3artist8D]

lawl

Mac ftw

[veggenskrikk]

Another useless piece of crap, pointlessly stealing resources.

[wwwADAMSPADEcom]

Actually, it does have a point. It looks cool:) And with the new quad processors we have plenty of resources to waste:D So, bring on the FX!

My next build will be a quad 3.0, with 8 gig ram and I will probably be running Ubuntu 64 exclusively and enthusiastically. It's called a toy. Have fun!

[PowerMacUser]

it's not a piece of shit, i have 2 cores and my system runs stable at 20% cpu usage when it running. if you have a quad it would be MUCH better. fuck off =]

[G3org3Master]

omfg.

[ne0ngeek]

whats the point of that at all? compiz is more useful llo

[Vulcanstyx]

Sweet!!!

[firecad2006]

it dosent work on ubuntu i tryed said about my video card driver is out of date but i have the newest verison for my card, i tred the live cd and Looking Glass is ok i guess

[STAT3039]

what version is this

[deluxedookie]

windows bigfan base and easy to use thats why!

[JeyPeyy]

Because there are not enough people on linux. Companies won't make software for linux if there aren't enough people to buy it. So if you don't do the first step, the big companies will never create software for linux.

[cokewentflat]

I started to wonder if you have any idea what Linux is, when you started to talk about "big companies" and "people to buy it".

[JeyPeyy]

I said software FOR Linux. What I meant with that was that companies will not make their software work on Linux if there isn't enough people using Linux. Sure I know what Linux is, I use it everyday at home (Ubuntu/Kubuntu if you want to know exactly). If Linux became big, big companies would make software that runs on Linux. Just because Linux itself is free it doesn't mean that it's not possible creating commercial games for it.

[redspade04]

lol, best comment i have ever seen... ever. thanks blackjt. but suhcuihpo, som ppl are just learning linux, give them a break. if it takes them a wk, at least they got patients to do something... prolly learned there patience from waiting on windows.

[enmaku]

I've run looking glass, compiz fusion, and a half-dozen other window managers (or WM-like UIs) on dozens of PCs using many dozens of different OSes, some linux, some windows, some more exotic. I can definitively say that I've never taken 1/2 a day to get files and 1/2 a day to install.

Also - what does photoshop have to do with this at all? Worst comparison ever. Photoshop is just an application. Complex though it may be, it's not a WM. Oh and "sudo apt-get install gimp" == WAY < 4 mins

[AxonV2]

u can go fuck yourself and your raped mom! damn i shouldnt say that. your mom wasnt responsible you were born like that!

[dominuqie]

how can ı get that fıture? can u send me an e-maıl where to download them????????

[pantokrator1988]

how to get that menu at 0:55 ?? :D

[aslak78]

looks annoying...

[Kojow7]

Heya portalcake625: This is the same as I mentioned already by installing it right within Windows, so not exactly sure what you are meaning by your reply.

[Goldeneagle704]

that was too....COOL omg that was awsome i am definetly getting ubuntu , so can i have that glass affect on ubuntu? thanks for the idea of partitioning the harddrive kojow7 , i wnt have a problem since i have a 110 gb hardrive :P.

[warzing]

linux will rules in the future but mac and microsoft will down in the future..

[PADDYL2006]

The graphical interface in ubantu is fucking awsome, i like vista, i wish someone made a mod for it to look like this. But the lack of drivers for ubantu is stopping me from installing it :/

[Kojow7]

What lack of drivers are you talking about? There are many ways to use Ubuntu without getting rid of Windows. You can install it as a second partition, so you can boot into Windows or Linux, you can install it right in Windows and run it from within Windows, or you can run it off of a live CD without installing it.

[MeZmErIzEtheMiNd]

how do you do you where you can boot one or the other?

[Kojow7]

This is called dual-booting. Best Option: Create 2 partitions, then install windows, then linux. Alternate Option: If Windows is already filling entire drive, the installer can shrink the partition to a smaller size, then you can install Ubuntu to the remaining disk. If you choose the second option, it is good to first back up any important files in case a problem happens. It usually won't, but it's best to be safe. Before installing try the live disc to see if it works -though it will be slower

[aq1sw2de3fr]

I have yet to find anything in my laptop that does not have a driver for ubuntu. I've got fingerprint, webcam, touchscreen, multitouch touchpad, wireless, video card drivers without a problem. Just grab the windows one and use Wine.

[paulnarbasta]

Dear friends, do you want to make your glass as a art? please check '3w qdunique com"

[Captnuendo]

You guys are sure emotional!

[ElPopularVale]

forrest gump would have a great time playing with that 3d shit

[sm2377]

agreee!~~

[Baraquiel62]

I got ubuntu but from where can I get all this stuff?

[Joonatanp99]

If you have 8.04 or newer simply click right button of your mouse the desktop, click Desktop Effects, chooose what you want. You can get more stuff: open terminal, write sudo apt-get install

compizconfig-settings-manager press enter, enter your password and wait

[Baraquiel62]

yeah I just did it! I was noob at first but got cha thanks for the advice ^-<

[jimboflowers]

man prison break rules.

[ccfreakMetal]

were did u get the glassy bar? is it working on Compiz-Fusion or Beryl?

[HacMyTosh]

No its a Session its nothing to do really with  Gnome or KDE its a GDM Session you can get

[ccfreakMetal]

am i able to get it on some way? would be rally nice 2 have it :)

[HacMyTosh]

yes google LG3D and on there site they have tutorial on how to install on Ubuntu

[ccfreakMetal]

nice, think i found it ty :)

[contrist0]

WOOT prison break!!!! starts tomorrow!

[GibsonSGKing]

geez, thats really cool. i bet it really eats up the processor though huh?

[terogweth]

nope, we are talking linux here :)

[GibsonSGKing]

hmmmm, ill have to look into this. its free right?? cuz it looks cool as hell.

[terogweth]

yeah, 100% free. same with the programs, that are actually in many cases better than windows.

[GibsonSGKing]

cool, im gonna dual boot with this and vista soon. is there anyway to get them to both run off of the same desktop and program folders????

[Dazzu74]

Wow... yeah I have two machines... one with Vista and one with Ubuntu... the Toshiba (Ubuntu) boots up faster (by several seconds) and uses less CPU resources that my Sony (Vista). The Funny part? My Toshiba is from 2005 and my Sony is brand new!!! The Toshiba has only 512 Mb RAM while the Sony has 2 Gb!!!

MS code is bloated, and too expensive. Windows... every version I've ever used has been hot garbage compared to Linux.

[GibsonSGKing]

hmmm, where have i seen u before lolz

[seantilley]

Man, I really hope LG3D takes off! It'd be very neat to see these implemented as Java containers in KDE4, and then built as the OpenSolaris desktop. The underlying technology would be amazing.

[raulcasavita]

ahhg!! no puedo correr esos efectos en mi maquina con ubuntu porque tengo una tarjeta de video(la de la board) de baja capacidad! buaaaaa!!

[kstatk]

Please ignore my grandmother "human8000" she's 80 yrs old and is quite the grumpy Ol' hag!

[chrischris349]

You my friend, are retarded

[chrischris349]

Sorry i meant that as a response to human8000

[fortague]

you are a twat

[aiklarung]

WTF do you mean on that? IBM is on linux too, and they MAKE computers of "today's world", dear Vista faggot.

BTW I TRIED vista and it SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKS AS HEEEEEELLLL! SLOWEST OS avaliable! (maybe win 7 will be slower?) Even notepad can get slower under vista.

Hasta la Vista, M$.

[gangstermailuser]

I found that Vista is A LOT slower too. At first it was faster, but week after week it kept getting slower. Today I finally bought my Mac and I'm Windows-free running Ubuntu and Mac OS X.

[aiklarung]

Well I heard OSX gets better after every upgrade, but what about compatibility? I hate the idea of "upgrading" to vista some day, but I can't leave XP because virtually everything runs on it. I know about wine and stuff, but I'm a complete newbie to linux, still learning the very basics.

It's a shame, but I can't get Windows-free yet :(

[mozaks80]

give it time... i only use windows to lodge my tax returns now after a short time using linux

[Joonatanp99]

are you ok?

[Nuelxs]

Looking Glass and Ubuntu FTW!!!!

Boycott Microsoft...

[aq1sw2de3fr]

Prison Break in the video playing xD

It should be very expensive in resources ..... what kinf of machine do you have???? .....

[sold13r45]

Hi im trying to start off a linux youtube community and i need all of you to help please check out my channel every subscription counts to me please share ideas cool sofware etc thanks ENJOY and no linux uses a swap drive kinda as ram you can run it on 256mb ram

[googleboughtmee]

oh wow 3d windows never seen that one before

make that background picture a HD live webcam feed

[Pitraptor]

looking glass goes a lot further than that though, it's an immersive environment, it's like a macrocosm, he could have anything anywhere on a rotational scalable globe in flawless 3d environment. He moves a little bit but not much if you look closely at how the background sometimes gets closer.

[iTangle]

Its not Windows you BAD KID! It's Ubuntu, which is much better that Windows Especially Vista

[SoftwareExplorer]

Compiz Fusion is getting a plugin like this. Right now you have to get it from git and compile it but it does the same thing. I think the plugin is called freewins or something like that.

[topazeyes]

I like ubuntu. I currently have UBUNTU studio loaded. It comes bundled with a lot of useful applications like a photo editor that competes well with photo shop. I use xp for gaming and amature home studio recording. Other than that I would completely leave windows. Who needs to buy office when you have open office? Microsoft better watch out.

[sold13r45]

hi everyone im trying to figure out what linux os i need im so sick of vista and wanta switch over but i dont know the difference between beryl compiz or anything will someone please help out im also running on 512 mb ram so any suggestions of any linux os that are pretty slim will help out thanks

[mrEnthusiastic]

I would recommend Ubuntu or Kubuntu. Ubuntu comes with Gnome Window manager which has the running applications at the bottom and the "start menu" at the to while Kubuntu has the KDE window manager which has a more windows like feel to it with both the open applications and the start menu at the bottom.

kubuntu: kubuntu [dot] org

ubuntu: ubuntu [dot] com

[sold13r45]

thanks ya i ended up figuring it all out like 3 days ago i got ubuntu 8.04 with compiz fusion learning the terminal and installed a dock and a couple other cool programs hahaha i love it screw windows i am duel booting though lol oh and i got my emerald themes to stay ima pretty fast learner but thanks alot for help we need more people like you

I was just like you 2 months ago but then I tried Knoppix, then Debian. Then about 2 weeks ago I tried ubuntu 8.04 with compiz and WOW! if you like eye candy its got it. I thought i could never fully replace windows, but now
