Unable to install Compiz-Fusion from this month's DVD

Hi guys.. just configured my EV-DO on ubuntu gusty.. and i feel happy to get back online in linux.

I had a Gusty CD before and i was able to use the C-F

Now i've lost it..

I installed ubuntu from this month's DVD... There is no prob with the DVD, but the dvd name is somewhat.. "Digit December 2007"...

whenever i try to install the CF... it says insert the disk named "Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon"

So i now that the disk must be named a "Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon".. but here its different..

Now what to do ?

have your tried adding the dvd to synaptic.

system--->administration--->synaptic--->edit--->add cd-rom.

Should help.

hey thanks it worked.
but the resolution is limited to 800x600.
is this the result of old drivers or something like that?

the machine i've installed has Old nvidia MX 400 GPU

^^ change the monitor to a 1 which has ur resolution by default it takes plug n play which does not have all resolutions

oh, i've plugged the old machine to the monitor which i use daily. it has 1024x768 max. . . before i installed CF, it was 1024x768. but not after

haan so thats what im telling dont change ur hardware monitor change from settings

gg by default takes plug n play monitor which has resos upto 800x600 go into the screen& something manager there change the monitor to a 1 which has 1024x768

ok, i did and now i got 1024x768... but now facing different prob...

when i enable Visual Effects (CF).. and start the Terminal, the ternminal window goes white!! please help me

*img100.imageshack.us/img100/6631/screenshotgr5.th.png

Is it the problem with only Terminal? I can't see any Window decorations. Is emerald installed or are you using default Metacity?

oh.. whats the emerald and metacity.. i dunno anything.. i'm a noob

please help me infra?

where is close minimise all gone .... like ani said are borders gone in all windows like places etc :?:

really weird havnt seen this happening reboot and see

metacity is default theme of gg & emarald is a theme application like windows blinds

yeah yeah... no title bar itself

Just press Alt + F2 and type "emerald --replace". If something happens then its good. You will probably overcome this problem. Otherwise you will need install it.

If you are connected to the net/haf the Ubuntu DVD then goto Synaptic and search for the package Emerald and install that.

i did as u said in that alt+f2... it said.. not found.. then i searched for emerald in synaptic... result ended with "0"

You should install Compiz configuration settings manager named "compizconfig-settings-manager" Search in Synaptic. Install "emerald" too. After installing Alt+F2 and type ccsm to open Compiz Settings Manager. Navigate to "Effects" to "Wndows Decoration" and enter emerald in command section. CLose it. Now navigate to Systems>Preference>Appeareance to Visual Effects tab and click Custom. You will get your Compiz eye-candy.

Gutsy has emerald in its repos. I dunno why you were not able to find it. Does "sudo apt-get install emerald" also return the same?

disable some effects like reflection, blur in compizfusion settings.

well i did as rahimveron said, but its again the same

@ infra.. yes i did it from the terminal too

Is your repo alright? Can you post your sources.list here

Code:

gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Alternatively, Open Synaptic and under Settings tab>Repositories and check if main, universe, multiverse are selected.

or open add/remove
go to advanced tab
select all the repos

i enabled all those stuff before installing emerald..

so why are all those line commented out (#) ??

you can goto system ->adminstration -> software sources to enable the repositories yourself

There are some repos which are commented out #.First backup

Code:

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bkup

Correct your sources.list accordingly
Then

Code:

sudo apt-get update

to reload the repos. There are many repos commented out, remove the # sign.

yeah.. i did sudo apt-get update.. and i couldnt get what about the last line please

^^the # sign before the repos means that thay aren't used(oir commented out),so first backup your sourcelist and then remove those # signs.

Have you changed the sources.list by referring to my sources.list? Just remove the # sign from the sources.list drom those lines which start like
# deb *in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe
and similar lines.

oh ok... i'll do that later.. currently i've switched to windows coz of few coding work.. will do it later..

Infra is rite, the emerald repos must be in the disk..

i think when digit guys made this dvd... there might be some prob linking those stuff

PLEASE HELP me

^^arre bose download from Net na then,whats the problem in that?

Just tell me 1 thing is everything is checked under Software Sources

means options under Ubuntu SOftware / 3'rd party software / Updates

^ yeah.....

and today i did a reinstall and tried once again.. CF works fine at 800x600.. but once after switched to 1024x768... i got the same prob... so i switched back to 800x600 it still exists!!

What GFX card do you haf?

I had the same problem when I installed CF. The way the problem got fixed is really strange. I went to Compiz Fusion settings and was checking out the features. The "Window Decorations" was enabled. I disabled and enabled and TADA! I've got Emerald! So, Giga, in case you already have Emerald installed, try out the method which worked for me. Else, try Window Manager as "Compiz" and select Window Decorator as "GTK Window Decorator"

^^Sometimes it happen suddenly the top borders of the windows dissappear. I just do the same as phreak, the only difference is that i created a new profile in CCSM apart from the "Default" profile, and i load Default profile then again reload my profile and the settings takeover and the borders are back, ala emerald takes over the windows decoration.
