Since I couldn't post the steps to install compiz on Ubuntu 10.04 in Parallels Desktop 5 in the video's post. I made this video, hopefully this will help others benefit from this great update by Parallels Desktop. Remember my macbook has the nvidia 9400m, and Parallels desktop 5 (if you have different hardware/software, then I can't help you much)
STEPS:
1) Open terminal: sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/GL.conf
2) In Gedit: delete "mesa"
3) Line should read: /usr/lib/
4) Save and Close
5) The 1st time I tried this, it didn't work right away. (I guess wait for setting to take place...or like I did just restart Ubuntu)
6) Open appearance settings
7) Click on Extra settings *Optional...but you could install Compiz Settings and Plugins extra, Emerald for more settings!

That should do it! If that doesn't work I don't know what to tell you. I'd tried this on Kubuntu but it didn't work. ('gl.conf' file is on a different folder name)... But if you must have Compiz on KDE, than just install KDE desktop on Ubuntu and login to KDE session. Now you have both GNome & KDE with Compiz!

  • Puedes pausar el video si esta mui rapido para ti ; ) (LOL)

    Si quieres aprender, busca y lee como instalarlo (entiendo que para algunos la bagancia mata)... estoy seguro que hay forums/blogs/GOOGLE! que te pueden ensenar como hacerlo... si es que puedes leer.

    En cuanto la música, "para cada gusto hay un color". Si no entiendes el refran, pues ciento mucho por ti.

  • Este video ayuda en nada para instalar el compiz, luego esa musica tan horrible.

  • Great a Mac user and fag music. Clicked stop as soon as I heard the music.

  • @siesonekmk what does that make you? a windows looser in the basement of your house, eating chips and drinking mountain dew, while playing WoW? From the sound of you... I'm sure I wouldn't like your music either. But the difference between you and me, is that you just told the whole world (youtubers) a lot about your self. Which frankly isn't saying much...

  • works with macbook pro 15 i7, PD 6 ubuntu 10.04.1. not working with ubuntu 10.10 ( cant install parallels tools. thank you @hananiasq

  • @yotame85 Yeah, I just tested in PD6 and works a lot smoother! Now I can enable 3d windows and gear box effects in the cube effects!!! PD 6 did awesome job! I've still to test how windows 7 does... I'll post videos later on both performance.

  • @hananiasq for what it's worth i liked the song, is it some remix of kh soundtrack or just normal jpop?

  • @siesonekmk Utada hikaru isn't fag music.

    Why must people come on here and insult.

    seriously. and just because you cant program something because its not said up "easy" for you doesnt mean

    you should rant on here.
