Compiz problems

[adfero]

Hi im new to ultimate edition so i haven't quite figured everything out yet.

Ive been having problems with the compiz control panel. It isnt in the system preferences tab as it usually was. is there a specal way to edit the compiz settings in the ultimate edition?

compiz is working fine, there isn't any problem with the setup i don't think.i just cant edit my settings.

sorry for asking this ,searched through the site and couldn't find a guide for starting out.

any help would be appreciated.

I hope this helps you, as I just went thru some of the same problems...System...Preferences...Advanced Desktop Effects Settings...This will bring up ...Compiz Config Settings Manager, where you can edit settings, another way to get to this Compiz-Manager is thru ...Applications...System Tools...Compiz Fusion Icon...A left click on this will add this Icon to the top panel on the right hand side... Now if you right click this little Icon, it will also launch The Compiz Config Settings Manager... If you look at the post under GENERAL DISCUSSION titled Replace launcher with icon, Cowboy has added some great screen shots that show where things are

ok thats helped me out lots, ive got on more problem that has resulted tho.

I managed to find what im missing. i had to install the manager manually using the comman :

'sudo apt-get install compiz* emerald compiz-fusion-plugins-main compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins*'

however the termanal has fired this back at me when it tried to install :


adfero@harvie-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install compiz* emerald compiz-fusion-plugins-main compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins*

i dont have advanced desktop settings showing up in system .. preferences. neither do i have it in applications .. system tools.. compiz fusion

thats my main problem, compiz is up and running, but i dont have any of the mentioned settings showing up on my computer.

its really odd. ive recently did a fresh install just to make sure there wasnt a problem with my install but the same things happened.

You can open up Synaptic Package Manager, and do a search for that file listed with the error and select it and then goto "fix broken packages" up in the File/Edit/View bar at the top. Hope that works for you. Other wise I would dig around in the compiz section of this forum for some steps you may have missed.

ok, i think thats my all fixed, seemed that an older version of the plugins was installed, jsut switched them with the new ones that matched my compiz version number and its all working now,

thanks for all you help , i really appreciate it

The upgrade icon on your desktop would have done this for you as well, most overlook that. Sorry for being late on posting as always. Busy , busy, busy.

Sorry,
