Since ubuntu is still new for me so i decided not to remove my Windows XP yet. In the previous post i already shows you few screenshots of my Hardy Heron. So today i am going to share with all technetz readers on how to install the desktop effects or compiz fusion in Ubuntu Hardy Heron.

How to?

Firstly you have to update your system with the latest software update. Open the terminal and type this sudo apt-get update hit enter and input your password.Wait until it finished.

Then you may proceed by checking your graphic card, you must enable your graphic card to get the effects. Go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. If your graphic card is disabled, enable it by check the enabled box.

It will prompted you to download the driver for your graphic card. Then you may need system reboot. If you are using non restricted graphic card driver like my girlfriends does, just proceed to the next level.

Finally is to download and install compizconfig settings manager. To make your life easier just use synaptic package manager (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager) and search for compiz. Inside the result check the compizconfig-settings-manager.


Apply the installation and wait for the process to finished. It just took me few minutes to complete To use it just go to System > Preferences>Advanced Desktop Effects Settings.

LoL nothing special except require at least 1GB RAM??. Now I am trying to support open sources project such as linux. My first installed linux distro is Linpus.. I had no idea how to start using it. Then my friend introduce me Ubuntu.. he gave me .iso file and i burned it in a cd. I screwed up my hard disk when I first install Ubuntu. I thought dual boot was easy ,need to wipe out all my 160GB hard disk. Lucky me because I already backup my important data. From that time I just use ubuntu from the live cd ordered from shipit.ubuntu.com.

The latest version of Ubuntu is Ubuntu Hardy Heron. A week ago I just got the Hardy Heron Live CD packages. It comes with 1 Unit of live CD and Ubuntu “Linux For Human Being” sticker. It seems that Hardy Heron is much easier to install. I don’t have any problem make dual boot with windows XP . This is the snapshots of my Ubuntu Hardy Heron after I installed all update and Advanced Desktop Settings Manager.
