Hey,
I just start using Ubuntu and was try to get the effects on by going to system->preference->appearance->visual effects then try to turning on EXTRA but it denies it. That is for cube
Then I have know clue how to enable a theme in emerald because I double click in it and it doesn't apply it.
If there is any place i can read up on all of the features of Ubuntu Ultimate Edition's features i would appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Fosterr334

Your sig can mean anything... ;)
Would be nice to see your system specs..
Do feel you have not updated your system...and your Graphic card....and you could be in the wrong place to enable Compiz...

running ubuntu Ultimate Edition 2.5 which i believe is the latest ubuntu 9. something. As for specs i cant really access them since haven't gotten use to the new set up but i just got this laptop about 4 months ago so it should be decently up to date. it has a ATI Radion graphics card and is a intel centrino. Also do i have to code in the adobe flash or is there and easier alt.
Thank you

Hi Fosterr334,
To give you an overview of what is going on, to enable the 'eye candy' or advanced graphic features, you need to have a graphics card capable of displaying these features. You have an ATI Radeon graphics card built in and as such, you need to have the drivers enabled before you can do any of the above 'magic'. Now not being an ATI expert, I cannot help you further with this - somebody with the relevant knowledge such as cell should, but in the meantime you may wish to do a search here on the forums on enabling ATI Radeon Drivers.
Sorry I can't help you further, at least I hope it helps you understand where your issue lies.

Did you enable the video driver from system menu>administration>hardware drivers?If your ATI card is newer then it is supported for sure.Then you can use the Emerald theme manager too with compiz enabled.From there you can import new emerald themes also.

Flash player is the following
go to page http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

select the tar.gz for linux (the deb file dont work)

agree

open the file

then tell it to extract to
/home/<username>/.mozilla/addons (<username> is your user name)
flash player should work from there
