ubuntu 8.10 desktop effects

[zikalify]

Been using Ubuntu since 8.04, 8.10 was the worst so far.

[LegoKid92]

Where did you get this software??

[gigman7]

I can't hear anything.

[StrayTheNomad]

I didn't record sound.

[gigman7]

That's my point.

[knightofhell7890]

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

[tomasosores]

Very impressive.. but maybe it is too much for me..

What hardware are you using for the video?

[unrealjeff]

All you really need to run ubuntu is 256MB of memory and 5GB free space on your hard drive.

[Cytr0gen]

My pc is 384 mb of ram and 1.6 ghz win xp. I tried ubuntu 9.04 and it wouldnt work for me would 8.10 work???

[pandorachild]

try the live verson on the disk first.

[AndrewBean90]

probablly

[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 :)

[jesnin13]

WhOah!!

Ubuntu OWns!!

visTa Sux..

LOL!

[elsemiauto]

i have a question. this is easy to use? and how i unistall it ? do you know

[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

[elsemiauto]

ok i need wubi ubuntu installer ?? is like im scare because if i install this how do i put it like xp again ?? LOL

[eloyADAN]

lol yeah but once you install it it will reboot and you can chose to boot with ubuntu OR windows lol my ubuntu had problems so im using windows now.

[elsemiauto]

[cuddles2908]

@eloyADAN yeah me to it had millions of problems and my father would always tell me its not compatible i'm like wtf wehn i instaled it was great now its worse if ubuntu was one of those os the one you have to buy then it might be perfect cuase free stuff usaly arent greAt

[TheXeno2000]

@jesnin13 well Windows 7 OWNZ Linux

(i dont care the FCKING date)

[XxXCesarMVPXxX]

windows sucks xD

[Acibeb]

wow! ubuntu is forfucked!

[67ImpalaRider]

this is a very perfect operating system, but i can't shift to linux why my games is not running on linux

[hamadaegg]

you can have both operating systems on your pc at the same time, use ubuntu if u like it, and when u need to play games just boot to your mac/windows. that's what i'm doing :D

[FernandoCruzalegui]

and so do I :D but i don't know how to switch to cube or slides :(

[earlsfort1974]

just installed ubuntu 8.10 last week on my laptop.anybody have any problems with overheating

[Salvadoreankid13]

Nope my laptop doesnt even heat up for some reason.

[battleonic]

ubuntu rocks!

[jesusmtnz]

thanks for colective tutorials, Straythenomad I installed ubuntu 9.04 Beta, Works Beautiful and with the forum in your Vid I learn Enough for my my desktop effect working, escuse my Bad English Salutes for all.

[95monye]

0:32 how did you do that?

[StrayTheNomad]

It's a plugin called Expo. It's activated by pressing Super+E

[FernandoCruzalegui]

how do you get the cube??? amazing please tell me!

[djbiggyb]

i have no idea

[FernandoCruzalegui]

I found it out.. You have to install compiz. YOu'll get a bunch of different options and 3 of them are about the cube. Cool!!!!!!!!!!. Next spep: Find out the bottom tool bar :( don't know how to get it,

[calicati]

is the breryl effect

[StrayTheNomad]

Um, that's just the default desktop.

[NewJerseyTico]

system > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects > Extra.

[jvdthwip]

sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager

System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings

[bicnarok]

whats all that "sudo aptitude ....." about??

[jvdthwip]

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.

[bicnarok]

Ive only had Ubuntu installed 2 days and havn´t got a clue what your on about.

Whats Hardy, what do i have to elevate?

[jrothwell97]

Hardy (Heron) is the 8.04 release of Ubuntu. The 8.10 release is called Intrepid (Ibex), and the 9.04 release is the Jaunty Jackalope.

Go to System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager. Mark 'simple-ccsm' for installation, and click Apply.

[risincwalker]

Just use crossover apps like "wine" and "crossover ubuntu" To play windows games on ubuntuuuuu-Ubuntu 4 D WIN!!!!

[narutokyubi3098]

como hago esos efectos

[NewJerseyTico]

system > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects > Extra.

[vampspell]

linux fuck rock--cool os and xp best os to play games

[PowerMacUser]

how do you do all that stuff?

[PowerMacUser]

yes you can =]

[kytel0925]

Linux Lo mejor de lo mejor

[Izstylez]

how do u apply the airplane effect?

like cud u please show me step by step

cuz i tried in compiz cant get it

[uni4dfx]

The airplane effect is an animation. You can set it in Compiz Settings Manager under Animations.

[blueseawinds]

Nice

[vladalex24]

Try this in a terminal window:

sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager

Then search in the menu for Compiz Settings Manager with this you have the optioins for all the animations.

[billyaris]

how do you activate the cube?

[GattsTaichou]

8.10 was the first version that just did not recognise my Vista x64 partition no matter what I have done... I did not have this problem with 7.x and 8.04 either... :(

[julianbell90]

i have ubuntu 8.10 and i activated the extra option for visual effects so now how do i do all that?

[ferxostroke]

wave would like to know how to enable the transparency of ubuntu 8.10 and download the desktop version does not enable transparency as you could tell me please

[uni4dfx]

Transparency of what?

[timetravelexperiment]

Windows, The Cube, and pretty much anything you want.

[uni4dfx]

I know lol, I was asking frexostroke what specific thing he wanted to make transparent...

[squizzthecat]

is it seriously like that???

cuz im getting that like this week sometime

[unrealjeff]

i want ubuntu so bad

[Xero3g]

Nice wallpaper.

[billyaris]

Can you please tell me smthng?If i install ubuntu on boot windows(xp) will be deleted?

[jakswa]

billyaris: you can 'dual boot'. this installs ubuntu *alongside* xp, and does not change your windows xp. when your computer starts, you pick which OS you want to boot into.

google 'dual boot ubuntu' and you'll see many, many resources. try to stick with newer/update tutorials, as it keeps getting simpler and simpler.

[SomaVIII]

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.

[MikeTheBigBadWolf7]

Create seperate partitions to dual boot them both

[billyaris]

i have a BIG PROBLEM when i boot my pc i cant go down to choose ubuntu cuz i have G11 and it have usb port !!!!

[MikeTheBigBadWolf7]

use a different keyboard then

[MikeTheBigBadWolf7]

Do you have plug and play?

[DrFlox]

whats the program on the right for?

[NeLsOnCoNtReRaSDj]

HELLO como estan compadres gringos me estoy bajando el ubunto x favor vamos a ver con que nos salen nuestros amigos de linux espero y sea bueno

[NewJerseyTico]

A mi me esta gustando mucho el OS de ubuntu; ya ni entro casi a XP.

[ThatGuyJinn]

0.33 Does anybody know how to get that effect? I'm new to ubuntu and have already got a few of these effect with compiz, but I don't know what part that is. It looks like the desktop is split into four partitions, but I've only got the original two.

[ThatGuyJinn]

Got it! FIgured it out myself after a while. Right click the workspace - bottom right - and select 'Preferences'. Set the number of columns to '4' and then press Super + E.

Ubuntu rules!

[BETO1BETO2]

are u talking about the expo feature? if you are then go to compiz manager, and check expo and open it to create how many partitions you want, once you have enable it , just press SUPER + E

[ThatGuyJinn]

Thanks for the help. I managed to figure it out after a while. I'm never goin' back to windoze.

[unrealjeff]

were the heck is a super key on the keyboard

[ThatGuyJinn]

It's the key with the Windows logo on it, between Ctrl and Alt. Hold it down, then tap 'e'.

[unrealjeff]

thought so im planning on getting ubuntu but i dont know how to partition my drive

[dantpatenaude]

You don't have to. There is an option to install Ubuntu using Wubi. Just put your disk in when you are in Windows and choose install inside windows. Then Ubuntu will install like a regular program. If you don't like it or just want to uninstall all you will have to do then is remove it through the add and remove programs menu. I have a vid about it on my channel that might help.

[unrealjeff]

can you still do all the cool 3D effects?

[dantpatenaude]

Yes

[unrealjeff]

i have 50 gigs on my HD and 20 gigs left is this expandable after i delete some useless windows stuff

[dantpatenaude]

That should be enough space. The most I have ever needed is 20Gb. You could have as little as 5.

[unrealjeff]

thank you so much im running ubuntu now i want to do all those cool things

[dantpatenaude]

You have to install your graphics drivers and setup compiz. I will be making a video of that shortly.

[unrealjeff]

i got compiz and everything thanks for all the help

[dantpatenaude]

Good to hear. If you ever need any help just ask.

[unrealjeff]

shure will do ,i just love to figure stuff out i figured out skydome and how to get the cube transparent ubuntu owns so much

with compiz fusion especially

[kaaabes]

The Effect is called 'Expo`

[fr34kaccident]

scruffyx is an idiot try doing research into next gen console's before opening your trap, the ps3 come with a shit load more processor power than a lot of computers... and the built in gpu[graphics processing unit] is routed with the micro cell broadband processor and together will pump out a crap load of power... buttom line is i wouldn't use the ps3 not because of power reason's but because of practicality purposes..anyways good video on linux desktop effects...

[gate077]

what is the software do you use to record your desktop

[ridgecrest321]

it's probably camtasia

[dean5778]

Sorry I meant to say you can get these in Windows XP, Vista!

[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.

[Keko567]

you need to try with the computer and monitor out side down maybe it work with ubuntu!!!

[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?

[SweKirimA]

It has all of the drivers you need.

I have never had any problem of that kind with Ubuntu 8.10

[BETO1BETO2]

ubuntu 8.10 has cool desktop effects, too bad the system is not friendly to the average computer user, no wonder is free!!

[Majenah]

i'm really in love with Linux :D

[joachimaae]

Hi i innstalled ubuntu on the shitty pc and i turned on the effects, but i dont know the button combinations, please reply

[baz3rk]

lol try googleing them, search ubuntu hotkeys or something

[irfan9727]

You need to install something to configure it first, open terminal (accessories -> terminal (or something like that)), type "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager"­, then enter your password, enter, wait until finished, open System->pref.-> advanced desktop effects, then set something here.

"coverflow" application switcher: win+tab

expose effects: win+e

Hope that helps, i'm new to ubuntu too

[Yarach]

windows+E

[coolwaterdvr]

I finally got the effects working. Very cool!

[joachimaae]

i am wondering, i have a shitty pc that is really slow and stuff. does ubuntu have high requrements?

[StrayTheNomad]

Nope. You can install Ubuntu on nearly anything. But, you'll need a fairly decent system for the advanced desktop effects shown here.

[dangerardo80]

Damn i was trying to install this version but when i try to boot the ubuntu its keep me saying error error, and some codes there,, i have dual boot vista and ubuntu but ubuntu is not longer working after vista prompt me to repair some boot issues!!

[dj722000]

Actually COMPIZ is not installed by default but it does come with UBUNTU by default. Just go to applications, add/remove, under add/remove switch over TO ALL other then conacale or whatever it is and do a search in the box for compiz. Install it, start it under system and change some settings and enjoy. Can also go to pcwizkid website and see how to do it there too. Hope this helps.

[KingOkami]

thank you! you the man!

[coolwaterdvr]

are those effects installed by default?

[kindom2009]

no fgfgggg

[dangerardo80]

no you have to go to some programs and activate them the good thing about Ubuntu is that they have all those documentations in their web page

[Brozium]

using wine...

[Scruffyx]

why play pc games in a PS3 its not as powerfull as a computer not even close. and its crap consoles. consoles are for losers=)

[KillerFox39967]

yea but to console is a 1.3 of the price so....

[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.... ;)

[OhmgrownCron]

is the ultimate edition better than this or the same?

[AaaJii69]

I heard some rumour in some forum that whit some program u can paly windows games in this. And is this working in PS3? And if first rumour are right can I play PC games in my PS3??!?

[dangerardo80]

is like adidas my friend impossible is nothing!!

[traguss]

what players do you have?

[nicolay111111111]

hye u have a nice video , but i have a question :p i have ubuntu 8.10 the latest version , but i want te desktop like u in a cube so how i do that .. ?

tyvm

[tmsbrdrs2]

First, make sure compiz is running and desktop effects are up. You don't have to have them all on at the same time but it does help. Next, make sure you have enough desktops enabled. Make sure you have cube and rotate cube clicked and then you just press the left and right mouse buttons at the same time on the desktop and there you go. Now you just drag your mouse left and it turns left and drag your mouse right and it turns right.

[Captainblindjustice]

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

[ramoj02]

Hello, nice vid!!

I'm just wondering how and where did you get those effects? I'm just new in Ubuntu, I just installed it 2 hours ago. And by the way, I installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

[sonicwii24]

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

[ramoj02]

Thank you so much!

15*

[Chillart]

how are you doing with it after a month?

I'm waiting on my disks(3 different) to arrive so I'm looking around checking it out.

[DaveC86]

thems some cool looking effects... im so close to converting to ubuntu... going to set up my dual boot some day..............

[fantasmaofdoom]

dual boot between windows and ubuntu?

use Wubi :) puts all the ubuntu files in 1 folder and when you don't want ubuntu anymore you delete folder download a program and delete register(i think)with that program and everything is back to normal

[sd1333]

which one do you download? i went to download and it said, pick a location or something like that. and i have no clue what that means.

help?

[galfraz]

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.

[sd1333]

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?

[HailZeon57]

The download server downloads an ISO. That's an image and you have to burn the image to a disc so that you can install from the disc. It's like when you get a new computer and you have an XP or Vista OS disc that you pop in when you first start your computer. And it always comes in handy if you have to uninstall Ubuntu; you can just pop the disc back in.

[sd1333]

man thank u so much.

im not the smartest when it comes to computers and im trying to learn more and more so my bad.

haha thank u again.

[HailZeon57]

No problem. Hey, by the way, if you are interested in any other Linux distributions, then I'd give OpenSUSE Linux a try. It has excellent web site infrastructure and printed documentation (easy to follow directions. =])

[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.

[letmeknow96]

does ubuntu support wireless?

[shadow60793]

yea wireless works on my laptop just fine

[fkd247]

I've been trying to configure a network bridge in ubuntu 8.10 but I cant find a tutorial that works...this is so simple to do on windows...Help Plzz!! I have an Asus m2ne deluxe mb with dual lan

[modplanman]

go to the ubuntu forums

ubuntuforums org

[fkd247]

I have. No luck so far..thanks though!

[Stew0122]

are all these features part of the standard OS like in the settings or du u have to do crazy hack shit or easy hack shit?

[uvmedraco]

theyre part of it but u have to install the program from the add and remove repo

[yxeseee]

super + E

[french4clouds]

I downloaded and installed Ubuntu 8.10 but have not been able to find super + E: is there a specific package for that? KDE perhaps?

[theonlycossar]

how did you do the effect where you dragged and dropped windows to different workspaces when the cube was unfolded?

[yxeseee]

super +e

[kirchmaster]

i have 8.04 cuz 8.10 was buggy for me, i can get the 4 squares with super and e but i cant drag stuff. is it possible to do the dragging on 8.04

[kirchmaster]

nvm i can do it, my cursor was just really small so i had to aim, lol
