compiz fusion 3d windows in Gutsy script

[ArielTM]

Hi
Saw that many want to install the 3d windows plugin on gutsy so i've made this script
hope this will work for you all

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get install compiz-bcop compiz-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential libxcomposite-dev libpng12-dev libsm-dev libxrandr-dev libxdamage-dev libxinerama-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libgconf2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libmetacity-dev librsvg2-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-window-settings-dev gitweb curl autoconf automake automake1.9 libtool intltool libxslt1-dev xsltproc
wget -O '3d.tar.gz' 'http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=fusion/plugins/3d;a=snapshot;h=db3c51d6c5c0df268fc1ec29a4264ef3d2 1dbbb3'
tar -xvvzf '3d.tar.gz'
cd '3d'
make
sudo make install


Or you can exract the attachment to your home dir and run it in terminal

[sdowney717]

[ArielTM]

[jimmy the saint]

Seems to want to install a whole lot of packages for a simple plugin.

[emulation_fan]

Wow. Thanks this works great. Yay!:popcorn:

anyone...anyone.... beuller.... beuller

[joshuachad]

all ill say is they took the 3d plugin out of Gutsy for a reason. Personally im waiting till the compiz dev guys fully re-write it. But hey the Linux croud isnt known for its patience.

[w116tjb]

The script ran great. Plugin seems to work fine too. Except for the fact that I can't change the amount of space the windows lift off of the desktop... A bummer, but it'll be fixed eventually... Also, when a window is maximized, the side of the window gets a little glitchy on rotation. It's really smooth otherwise.

[w116tjb]

Found the problem. After installing the plugin, right-click on the fusion-icon (if you have it) and reload the window manager. The modified 3D plugin settings will take effect.

[TadH]

This worked fine for me excellent job. Could you please explain to me how to edit how far off of the cube the windows come? Thanks again works awesome

[Toffeeapple]

Thanx for this ArielTM.. works a charm.. ta!

TadH.. none of the settings would work for me till I'd rebooted.

[NoVista]

Thanks for stopping by over here.
I'm WartHog over at Compiz.
Thanks again, it all went very sweet !

[the_nz_monkey]

Works like it says on the box - good work on the script :)

Can't wait 'till this plugin's working like it did on Beryl...

[BarBQ]

ran the script and when i got to the last two lines i got this.

make: *** No rule to make target `build/fusion/plugins/3d/3d.lo', needed by `c-build-objs'. Stop.

I dont really know much about any of this but have been following peoples directions with pretty good success rate. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong. I dont see the 3d windows plug in on the ccsm. This is my first post so i just want to say thanks to everyone for all there how to.

[Derspankster]

The script ran just fine but I have no icon in Compiz. I rebooted to make sure that Compiz was restarted.

I'm having the same issue and am too a newbie.

The plugin doesn't show up for me and the script ran OK.

Happens to me too... Anyone know how to fix?

[NoVista]

The 'make', and 'sudo make install' command need to be run from the 3d folder.

[anmiv]

i am sorry guys this is a really stupid question but i think i have the script up and running now how do i do the 3d cube thing? i tried "windows key"+ tab and atl+tab but did not work

ps this is the first time i am using linux

Hey there, ...try Ctrl + Alt <direction arrows> or Left-mouse click-and-hold and drag on Desktop\ or mousewheel on desktop and you can also rotate cube by left-click on the 4 boxes (work spaces bottom bar right-hand side) individually, ..any and all of these actions will rotate the cube.

PS: there are no stupid questions ;)

It does the same when I run "make" from inside the 3d folder as well. I"m on the 64-bit version, if that might make a difference.

[ArielTM]

Hi
Fixed the script

Hope that it'll work for you all now

[tikal808]

The script ran fine for me too, but no 3d windows icon in the ccsm? Any ideas on how to fix? I'm running Gutsy 64bit. Other than getting 3D Windows to work, Compiz-Fusion works fine for me.

[Derspankster]

This is not going well. I ran the updated script and it completed. I now have a 3d windows icon in ccsm....But, I cannot enable it by checking it. IN FACT.. I cannot enable or disable anything in ccsm now. Compiz is still running OK, however but I've lost the ability to make any changes at all.

[ANtrah]

100% to 100 :guitar:

[Derspankster]

100% to 100 :guitar:

OK, you got me on that one.

[khanh_coltech]

Thanks, very good, but I still have an error when i put a window stay at two workspaces.
Plz fix this.

[ariel.darkserver]

:guitar: WORKS!!! Looks great again!!! now my friend gonna be jealous!!! XD
i KILL THEM WITH My ubuntu 7.10 compiz fuzion, now I gonna destroy their "vista" world with all the plugins working fine and only using 2% of my cpu with an average PC, XD

[Derspankster]

I'm not sure what i did wrong. Like I said in my earlier post. The 3d applet is now present but all my check boxes are grayed out and I cannot enable the 3d nor can I change any other settings. Since I ran the downloaded script from my desktop perhaps the plugin that was made isn't in the correct location. I simply don't know. Hope Compiz is not broken although it still runs OK.

[mc4man]

Works fine here - good job
@Derspankster - make sure auto.. plugin sorting is checked (ccsm>preferences>plugins)

[andyanderso]

I extracted the file to my home directory /home/andy.
I ran it in terminal. It seemed to run fine, but I do not have the 3d option in ccsm. Did I do something wrong? Did I extract it in the wrong location? Is there an easy way to remove everything the script installs in case I can't get it working?

Thank you so much - that did the trick!

[flamepanther]

Hi
Fixed the script

Hope that it'll work for you all nowIt works flawlessly for me now. Many thanks for the effort :)

[cedenburn]

I have had no problem with install or effects works very well. Hardware is Dual Core AMD 64,4 gigs ram, Nvidia 8600GT 512mg, Samsung 22" display and looks AWESOME:)

Thanks been waiting for this one

Chuck

[frograven]

ArielTM, awesome job. Worked flawless! You say this is your first script uh, well two thumbs up buddy. Thank you for the contribution!

Absolutely AWESOME! Worked right off the bat! Thank you very much!!!

Kevin

[phillipjennings5]

sweeeeett thanks:)

[Jose Catre-Vandis]

Downloading and running the attached script worked. Copying the lines one by one to terminal from the first post didn't. Good work :)

[PaulRay]

Try running the script a few times, this worked for me. It seems to run in bits.
Anyway, I now have 3-D windows again! Thanks!

[nikoPSK]

I love you!

[AcademyKP03]

Do I just copy and Paste the following into my terminal?

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get install compiz-bcop compiz-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential libxcomposite-dev libpng12-dev libsm-dev libxrandr-dev libxdamage-dev libxinerama-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libgconf2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libmetacity-dev librsvg2-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-window-settings-dev gitweb curl autoconf automake automake1.9 libtool intltool libxslt1-dev xsltproc

tar -xvvzf '3d.tar.gz'
cd '3d'
make
sudo make install

??

[camarojones]

I ran the script, and it downloaded a bunch of stuff. I found that it only downladed the first apt-get install items.

I had to basically go one line at a time from there to get it to work, however...

The MAKE line gives this and i cannot continue:

make: *** No rule to make target `build/3d.lo', needed by `c-build-objs'. Stop.

What do i do from here?

[BoneyOne]

Nice, it worked perfectly the first try. Thanks!!

One question, is there a way to change the thickness of the windows? With Compiz on Fiesty it was with no thickness when pulled up, I kind of prefer it like that.

[Jacktoga]

I have been looking a long time for this, thank you so much , great work!

Copy and pasteing of the script didn't work for me though, running the script from the attached package did.

After a reboot 3D windows worked nicely :)

[brunoskrebs]

OK it didn't work for me, how do I undo this changes? Because it did a bad stuff actually... Now its everything disabled, I mean I cannot change the setting because the square box that you click is not enabled anymore...

And it didn't show the 3d option on the manager for me...

So please how do I undo those changes??

[digitalbenji]

I entered each line (minus the first which defines the script) into a terminal, since its pretty evident what it does. It worked flawlessly. Thanks!

[Mr-BuntYou]

Thank you for this nice script. With this one i get it installed!

just copy it to your home directory and run it and .... it works!


PS: i'm new here in this forum, but i'm not an ubuntu newb ... and i'm german so sry for my bad english :lolflag:

[cibao5923]

I installed the script and received no errors. The only issue is that the icon shows up on the settings but i can't enable it. I can't also disable or enable anything else. Did I do something wrong? :confused:

[SethJT]

Wow! nice work. Download, run in terminal & Wala, works like a charm. Wish i new how to do that. Thanks

[Martje_001]

When it asks to [Y/n]
I type Y and it aborts
Typ it yourself (dont copy + paste).

[kfealz]

downloaded and ran the script. worked perfectly. thanks so much!

[nikoPSK]

the script wouln't let me set window distance. I just git'd it.

[BujarM]

the script works
but i dont see a cube
only a 2x2 rectangle
and with the ctr+alt+arrow i can change the workplaces
help anyone?

[adza]

BujarM, try right clicking the window switcher in the taskbar and checking preferences, have you got the option 'columns' set to 4? (or more than 2 anyways)

[nikoPSK]

gereral options, desktop size, set the first slider to 4:popcorn:

[Chris5369]

Awesome script bro works awesome for me. (I did the install to home directory)

**Also make sure you restart or you cant change the 3D options with compiz

:)

[vincentvee]

had the same problem, what i ended up doing was running the script as sudo, I.E. sudo /home/john/gutsy3d
every other time i kept getting an abort
anyway, was an excellent script
thanx heaps to the author

Try running the script a few times, this worked for me. It seems to run in bits.
Anyway, I now have 3-D windows again! Thanks!

P.S
This is my first script so feedbacks will be appreciated

------------------------------------------------------------

For all of us who have been getting the abort response (as I was), take the second route.

Download the attachment and extract in your home directory

1) Move it off your desktop and put into home folder Places>Home Folder

2) Right Click, hit extract

3) Double click on icon that says "gutsy 3d"

4) Select "Run in terminal"

5) watch the terminal do its job n wait

6) revel in the cool 3Dness

:)

P.S. make sure to have a fast Internet connection, as a dial-up will have you waiting for quite some time. Also, be sure to have your Ubuntu 7.10 install cd or dvd handy, I don't have the best memory but I'm sure it asked for it.

[lordawesome]

For all of you who can't get this to work..... Sorry about your luck. I don't see any reason why it should not. Thank you VERY much for this script. This is one of the few reasons I even installed compiz in the first place.

[Victormd]

Perfect script!!!

Thanks, love the effects this thing outputs!!!

It works Great had to run commands one at a time.

[nononanette]

down loaded pkg and ran. i got 3d options in ccsm and clicked to activate. i restarted and checked that 3d was still selected but i get no window stand off. i then went into ccsm again and set the page separation to a higher number but still no separation. any ideas??:(

[TravDelB]

Works fine until it asks to put Ubuntu install disk into drive /cdrom/ and press enter. I do, and it continues to pop up with same request. Any ideas?

[nononanette]

did not ask me to put cd into the drive, so i can offer u no answer.i'm still trying to figure out why i can not get windows to stand off the cube.

[nononanette]

however i made the install by using the tar rather than by typing the script in one command at a time.

[Martje_001]

Works fine until it asks to put Ubuntu install disk into drive /cdrom/ and press enter. I do, and it continues to pop up with same request. Any ideas?
Of cource ;). Typ in the terminal: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
.

Remove the line(s) which holds 'cdrom://' and press CTRL + O, followed by CTRL + X. Now typ sudo apt-get update
. Now do what you wanted to do.

[TravDelB]

Ah! Worked great, thanks. But now the 3d option showed up in the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, but everything is greyed out and I can't change any settings. Is it because the plugin was placed in the wrong spot?

[TravDelB]

I installed the script and received no errors. The only issue is that the icon shows up on the settings but i can't enable it. I can't also disable or enable anything else. Did I do something wrong? :confused:

I had same problem and (for some reason) I went into preferences in the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings window and hit the second tab "Plugin List" and enabled "Automatic plugin sorting". And then it worked fine.

[Victormd]

Thanks, I had to run it line by line but in the end, worked like a charm!

[Tha_Guru]

Hi everybody, I've run the script in my home folder, a 3d.tar.gz appeared after installation, I enabled 3d windows in my ccsm and then rebooted but nothing seems to change. I can change face but I have no 3d effect. It's like I had a cube but I can see only one face and if I use ctrl-alt-arrows or mouse I see another face but no 3d stuff. Anybody can help me? Thanks

[sayakb]

For all plugins, check this:
http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5303

[rune0077]

This worked great for me, thanks a bunch.

[nononanette]

try this. open ccsm. go to general options>desktopsize. set 'numberof desktops' to 4. see if that gives u a cube. check to see if your open windows stand off from the desk top if they do let me know. tks.

[Tha_Guru]

I've already set "number of desktops" to four.. I have a cube but I don't see it 3d like I've seen in some screen shots that were posted in this thread. I have a cube only because I can move from one face to another scrolling with mouse but each face is plane and covers all the screen. Plus the windows are not elevated but stand on the desktop. Dunno if there is something missing in my settings or in my tools.. I followed all the instructions correctly I think..
Thanks for the answer anyway!

[nononanette]

i can get the cube effect by depressing the scrool button on the mouse when the arrow is on the desk top or by pressing cntl +alt and the left mouse button no matter where the arrow is, the in either move the mouse to roll the cube. the windows will only stand off when you do this.

[Tha_Guru]

when I scroll it just goes to another face I can't move around the cube I don't even see the cube.. I can just barely see it while it passes from a face to another..and while scrolling the windows stand on the desktop.. dunno why.

Many thanks it works great.

One question, how do you alter how far the windows are elevated from the cube ?

Cheers !

It's normal - on a faster machine it can be pretty quick at spinning from one face to another!

Try clicking and holding the mouse wheel on a blank bit of desktop, then move the mouse with wheel still held down. You should see the cube then!

You can slow the spin down in System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. Click the Rotate Cube icon there, then reduce the speed a bit.

You can also adjust how far away the cube appears when you click and hold the wheel by adjusting the Zoom slider.

:) Once again many thanks for this, just need to know how to adjust the window elevation from the cube.

wow now I can see the cube and the windows elevated but just when I hold the wheel.. If I don't hold the wheel after reducing the speed and increasing the zoom I can see the cube 3d but the windows still stand on the face. Is it normal?
Sorry I'm a newbie.
Thanks a lot for your help:D

[5735guy]

I've sorted the window elevation settings.

Heres how :

Open CompizConfig settings

Double click 3Deffects

Click on Misc. Options tab

There is a Window Space option

Slide to your preferred setting.:):)

[nononanette]

down loaded pkg and ran. i got 3d options in ccsm and clicked to activate. i restarted and checked that 3d was still selected but i get no window stand off. i then went into ccsm again and set the page separation to a higher number but still no separation. any ideas??:(

ok i finally got the 3d standoff to work. i pasted in each line as was first recommened and ran them one at a time. everything works great. not sure what is wrong with the tar but that did not work even though i tried it a couple of times. any way have enjoyed reading all the post. just installed awn and that works great also.:biggrin:

[mmm2010]

Found the problem. After installing the plugin, right-click on the fusion-icon (if you have it) and reload the window manager. The modified 3D plugin settings will take effect.

I'm having the same problem. (When I adjust the space between the windows, nothing changes.) What icon are you/ is he referring to?


EDIT: Nevermind.... Anyone who has this problem probably just needs to reboot-it worked for me.

[5735guy]

I had the same problem with the elevation not changing, so I rebooted and it worked fine.:):)

[5735guy]

Hi, I was wondering if this would work on Compiz installed on Feisty ? :confused:

[5735guy]

How could I get this to work on xubuntu 7.10 please ?

[Nickedynick]

Great work, but one small hitch - when you drag windows to the edge of a screen and rotate the cube they are broken in the animation. Any ideas how to fix this?

[nikoPSK]

oops I thanked you rather than quoting you... well, it could be your GPU not up to snuff....:confused:

[5735guy]

Many thanks, works on Mint 4.0 as well !!!:):):)

im running gutsy and i followed the script in your order exactly (via copy/paste) and everything worked perfectly! great thread keep up the good work.

[Sctt]

After installation (which ran smoothly), I am unable to edit ANY of the options in Compiz. All of the effects seem to be unchecked, but they're all functioning properly. Any suggestions?

Any idea?

It worked fine for me. I had to log out and back in, but then the controls worked. The flicker is annoying, but I just set window width to 0 and it disappeared.

[5735guy]

Hi there, Is there a way to make this work on Ubuntu 7.04 please.

These are the Compiz Fusion sources I am using for Fiesty :

# compiz-fusion by Treviño's Ubuntu feisty EyeCandy Repository
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy

The 3D windows plugin is there, but non responsive. I have tried installing this solution with no joy, Is there a workaround so this will install on Fiesty ?

[chlee]

frackin awesome!

took a little bit, so this is how i did it:
copy/paste script=aborted
then followed this:

------------------------------------------------------------

For all of us who have been getting the abort response (as I was), take the second route.

Download the attachment and extract in your home directory

1) Move it off your desktop and put into home folder Places>Home Folder

2) Right Click, hit extract

3) Double click on icon that says "gutsy 3d"

4) Select "Run in terminal"

5) watch the terminal do its job n wait

6) revel in the cool 3Dness

:)

P.S. make sure to have a fast Internet connection, as a dial-up will have you waiting for quite some time. Also, be sure to have your Ubuntu 7.10 install cd or dvd handy, I don't have the best memory but I'm sure it asked for it.



but, during the process in terminal it asked for my dvd. i didnt have that.. so i noticed that it would only ask for the dvd if it was still down loading.. weird. so i would wait a bit and hit enter again and that worked til around get:64..

so then i just canceled. went to system>admin>software sources and unchecked the dvd as a source. i had to cancel the terminal so that i could make this change without errors.. refreshed the sources and it downloaded the list and that was all good.

then i went back and opened the downloaded file again in terminal. making sure to type an uppercase 'Y' (i think that was the problem with just copy/pasting the script?) and off it went. worked like a charm.. and fast too.. perhaps because it got so far before.. duno. anyway it compiled and that was that.

check out the advanced prefs and sure enough 3d windows was there. made some adjustments and then restarted. looks awesome! i noticed a compressed version of the script where one wasnt before (in the home folder) .. so i just deleted it along with the script and calling it done.

:lolflag: made my day! thanks a ton!

[emshains]

I did everything like you guys or i did everything like i think you did, but i always get just the inside of the cube and i cant change it in compiz conf.

Will you help me?


Ok i got that sorted, but i see in the pic that the desktop cube is like further away so you can see like more of the sky and a smaller cube

[Mcnrgnrg]

hi this is a nooob and i wanted to know if you needed teh internet to make this work. i dowloaded the attatchment please help

[gilang]

well...your attachment work for me...the window raise successfully...
but i got problem when i put window between 2 desktop....
the window get cut in the middle of the cube's edge and doesnt integrate to each other...

can u help me fix this????

[gilang]

here's the capture.....

http://pic16.picturetrail.com/VOL635/2414786/4766701/305777102.jpg

[SanskritFritz]

I dont think this will be fixed. the reason: the window is raised only on the z axis from the desktop. In order to have the window connected at the edge of the cube, the window has to be moved towards the edge on both desktops, according to the amount it was raised from the desktop. That is a whole new transformation, i dont think it is built into the plugin.

[strAlan]

Problems here also but my issue is at "Make" time... I get an error of "make: *** No rule to make target `build/3d.lo', needed by `c-build-objs'. Stop." When at the make command.

Hi
Saw that many want to install the 3d windows plugin on gutsy so i've made this script
hope this will work for you all

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get install compiz-bcop compiz-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential libxcomposite-dev libpng12-dev libsm-dev libxrandr-dev libxdamage-dev libxinerama-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libgconf2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libmetacity-dev librsvg2-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-window-settings-dev gitweb curl autoconf automake automake1.9 libtool intltool libxslt1-dev xsltproc

tar -xvvzf '3d.tar.gz'
cd '3d'
make
sudo make install


Or you can exract the attachment to your home dir and run it in terminal

Any ideas?

[SanskritFritz]

You are running Synaptic or similar in the background.

[strAlan]

Yeah it's some sort of permissions issue - if not via using sudo then perhaps on the sources list or repository directory.

[johnn1949]

3d worked perfectly for me,thanks. I ran the scripts one at a time starting with sudo....... I accidently forgot to run the make command before the sudo make install, but it worked .

[johnn1949]

here's screenshot

[Job_314]

I had it working for a little while, then an update screwed my Compiz. When I had it working it looked great unless it was on a corner, the windows didn't wrap around... they just cut off.

But now when I install the depos to required get this working, those screw my Comzpiz too. Bah.

[strAlan]

Any chance you are updating from unsupported or "test" repos that I think are referred to as "backports"? I have a Fedora box and I made the mistake of enabling the test repos, and it downloaded FC9 which I found out is in beta for a reason...

[dondolo]

hi guys i got a problem. after installing, i stay locked on my desktop. i can't move to the other faces it's like my cube does not exist anymore. any idea?? please help

[strAlan]

Ok, first of all, do you have 4 workspaces enabled? In the lower right hand corner where the workspaces are an icon, right click and open properties. It should tell you in there.

[SanskritFritz]

hi guys i got a problem. after installing, i stay locked on my desktop. i can't move to the other faces it's like my cube does not exist anymore. any idea?? please helpRight click on the desktop, select Change Desktop Background and see at the last tab (Visual Effects) if you are using Custom.

[Warprunner]

HAHAHAH Installtion worked GREAT and smooth as SILK!!
I don't have 4 Windows...I HAVE 6 and it works flawlessly!!!

:lolflag: :guitar: ):P

[BooBooNTZU]

The script worked , but there is something wrong with the ATI drivers or the xorg configuration. When i run a game like Chromium with Compiz Effects enabled the window doesn't get updated properly. If i move the Chromium window on the screen , only the frame is moving ... the rest of the rendering is not following the frame. Any ideas ?

[BooBooNTZU]

But now when I install the depos to required get this working, those screw my Comzpiz too. Bah.



After the update you have to reconfigure your video card again , then re-enable the restricted drivers and then reboot. To reconfigure your video card use :

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo aticonfig --initial -f

If you have and Nvidia card , you probably have to use other commands to do it.

[UBU-Razer]

Thank you very much!!! This worked great for me, and now I'm havin' 3d Windows in cubeeee weee! :D

[szandor]

after installing the 3d windows plugin, the windows would not elevate off the cube. not sure if this has been brought up in the last 13 pages but if your 3d effects do not work, make sure you have the cube reflection plugin enable. if you see a giant *** cube, it is not enabled. if you see a smaller cube and a reflection of the cube under it, then the plugin is enabled.

edit: maybe some clarification on what other plugins need to be enabled for other effects to work should be included on the first page. for example, if i disable cubereflex, the 3d effects do not work, if i enable cubeflex, 3d works. maybe it's just me but i was stumped until looking at a picture of the 3d effects and noticed the smaller cube and reflection.

[UltraAnders]

Thanks OP. This worked a treat. Quick reset needed to get Window Space changes working (as mentioned by others in thread). \\:D/

[saguinus]

Worked like charm.

Cheers !!

Many thanks ArielTM from a linux noob, got the plugin to actually show up in compiz manager.

First, I was able to install by going to Applications>Accessories>Terminal and running each line in your post one at a time, being sure to type everything in correctly.

After installing, the effect was really subtle as the windows hardly stood off the cube. Then tried adjusting some of the settings in the plugin, which didn't affect anything. I reboot my system after reading some of the other posts about having to do so before settings changes are allowed. After rebooting, compiz wouldn't start at all, couldn't enable desktop effects.

Wellll... I remembered that before I had rebooted, I had also downloaded a restricted video driver for my ATI 9600 (argh! stinkin' closed source software). I looked up the ATI driver in Synaptic Package Manager and uninstalled it. Rebooted again. Enabled desktop effects, and, ta-da! Gorgeous 3D windows adorned my desktop cube! Everything running normal now... but in 3D ;)

The lesson of this is, trust your open source community friends, and don't rely on closed source drivers unless you know they work.

Thanks again ArielTM

Cheers!

Thanks OP. This worked a treat. Quick reset needed to get Window Space changes working (as mentioned by others in thread). \\:D/

How do you ¨quick reset¨ CF?

[CC_machine]

You NEED to type "y" not "Y"
anything apart from "y" makes it abort.
Linux is case sensitive, remember!!

ArielTM, you are on the money - this worked like a charm the 1st time around. Some workarounds take a bit'a tweakin; this is not one of those times.

Thanx 4 that.

Hi
Saw that many want to install the 3d windows plugin on gutsy so i've made this script
hope this will work for you all

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get install compiz-bcop compiz-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential libxcomposite-dev libpng12-dev libsm-dev libxrandr-dev libxdamage-dev libxinerama-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libgconf2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libmetacity-dev librsvg2-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-window-settings-dev gitweb curl autoconf automake automake1.9 libtool intltool libxslt1-dev xsltproc
wget -O '3d.tar.gz' 'http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=fusion/plugins/3d;a=snapshot;h=db3c51d6c5c0df268fc1ec29a4264ef3d2 1dbbb3'
tar -xvvzf '3d.tar.gz'
cd '3d'
make
sudo make install


Or you can exract the attachment to your home dir and run it in terminal

Good luck
Ariel

P.S
This is my first script so feedbacks will be appreciated

This worked great, thanks man, I had been looking for this all day!

Works fine here - good job
@Derspankster - make sure auto.. plugin sorting is checked (ccsm>preferences>plugins)

i reinstalled compiz and 3d plugin and forgot to do this. took forever to figure it out. so, don't forget to have reflection and 'plugin sorted' checked if your windows do not elevate and compiling/adding plugin was successful.

[abhister]

works gr8...thx...you need to run the commands one at a time...

[goldenglow21]

I'm still somewhat new to linux. But I just updated to Hardy and now all the compiz desktop effects work great. So I was wanting to get the 3D windows. But for some reason it doesnt work even though its enabled. Not sure if i need to edit some setting to get it showing as in this thread. Or should i just follow those commands to get it working?

[gilang]

i got problem with 3d windows on gutsy, like this
http://pic16.picturetrail.com/VOL635/2414786/4766701/305777102.jpg

after i did clean install of hardy, everything just worked fine. no cut window again like pict above...thnks to hardy!

[gilang]

i think you should do fresh install to hardy
, easier way i think...
