Awwww man, MrPC, I hope the quote below from TheeMahn doesn't apply to you, but it may. This was posted on my other post "Compiz options unselect themselves...". The quote was posted on May 12th:

Prior users 1.7 or less no effect.. I have thought about shutting down the eyecandy repo, I do not want to add problems, I did not even tell others there is a hardy 64 repo yet 198 people found it. it is things like this that test my patience. While 198 people means nothing to the 100's of thousands that hit the same site, 197 too many. I will say no more.

It shouldnt, it seems like he is running 1.7 as opposed to 1.8. There are also other eyecandy repos available, but playing with them CAN break your install... be warned!

Again, ask me how I know
I think thats the beauty of beta testing, or so I try to convince myself!

Ok, I just took it the other way. Anyhow, just in case. Yep, reinstalled mine a few times too Reckon that might make me an "unofficial" beta tester

Thanks for the reply, I have run various versions I play around with and if it breaks no big deal doesn't bother me to do a complete reinstall I learn more by breaking it LOL I have currently 1.6 and 1.7 installed no 64 bit I am debating on upgrading my main pc to a allendale cpu and a nv 8800gt card my other machines ones a older pc dont care if I break it thats half the fun pushing it to different limits and the other is a laptop I got with no os came with the t2130 so no 64 bit there but am having fun learning different tweaks and what not I get from here as well as other places.

Looks good!

If you wouldnt mind, could you list your hardware under the appropriate working hardware topics in the hardware forum? Thanks!

Did a reinstall using 1.7 32 bit and got the super compiz working

as its been mentioned here many times if its not broke you haven't tweaked it enough

I updated the original post anyone care to try it running Ultimate Edition 1.7? Runs fine in 1.8 is what I see. bellow is what I refer to:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#detect and fully utilize the processor(s)
CORES=1
CORES=$(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l)
#Grab & extract plugins
#download animations plugin
wget http://repoubuntusoftware.info/scripts/animation.tar.gz 2>&1 | sed -u 's/.*\ \([0-9]\+%\)\ \+\([0-9.]\+\ [KMB\/s]\+\)$/\1\n# Downloading \2/' | zenity --window-icon=/usr/share/ultimate/ubuntu_ico.png --width=600 --height=100 --progress --auto-close --title="Downloading Animations Plugins..."
tar xfv animation.tar.gz
#Maze plugin

tar xfv compiz-plugins-static-0.0+git20080514.tar.gz
for i in `ls -d */` ; do
echo "Compiling $i";
cd $i ;
make -j$CORES install | zenity --progress --pulsate --auto-close --width=500 --title="Compiling $i plugin";
make clean ;
cd .. ;
done

This will add maze, helix animation & static plugin. Helix is the shiznit. Let me know how it goes.
