Install Latest Compiz Fusion from Git

Tagged Under : , ,

Last couple of days before, I had posted two screenshots that showing Compiz Fusion Sphere and Cylinder Effect. The Compiz Fusion 0.7.4 that comes by default with Ubuntu 8.04 does not include this plugin. So you need to compile the plugin.For a new user, this not sound nice. However, there is an easy way to get this plugin and keep your Compiz Fusion updated. You just need to run a script which already built for you. The script was created by Martijn Bastiaan. With this script, I can’t get all the plugin working. Splash plugin is not working for me.

Now, everything is working perfectly in my Ubuntu system except Hardware Information. The Hardware Information keep crashing when I try to open it. In this post, I want to share my experience upgrading to Hardy Heron.

 

Upgrading Ubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu 8.04

 

On Saturday, I upgraded my Ubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu 8.04 using the update manager. I clicked on upgrade and followed the instruction. A dialog box pop-up showing the upgrading process. After a while, the process stop and I got a dialog box saying that there was a problem with internet connection. It might be caused by too much load put on the server. For those with slow internet connection, I recommend you to download a live Cd.

 

Because of that problem, I decided to download a live CD. I torrent a Dvd image of 3.7 GB in just 2 hours. It was super amazing fast; the download speed went up to 600 KB/s. I burned the iso file and loaded it up. I wait for about an hour and the upgrading process finish. The process was really smooth, no problem occurred during the installation process.
