    Smile [SOLVED]Cannot install simple compiz

    I have Ubuntu 11.04 running in Ubuntu Classic mode
    I wanted to install additional plugins to compiz
    I learnt that to do so I need to install Simple comiz settings manager

    when i try the code
    sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm

    I get an error this way

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    simple-ccsm : Depends: python-compizconfig (>= 0.8.2) but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: compizconfig-settings-manager (>= 0.8.2) but it is not going to be installed


    I have 0.9.4-0ubuntu1 (python-compizconfig)
    and 0.9.4-0ubuntu2 (compizconfig-settings-manager)

    I've been strugling with this for hours
    plz help

    Re: Cannot install simple compiz

    You can run compizconfig-settings-manager instead
    command of
    ccsm
    simple-ccsm is not compatible with the compiz version used in 11.04

    How do I add new compiz plugins then?
    Ex: Burn animation for minimize

    Re: Cannot install simple compiz

    You could install
    compiz-plugins-extra

    Edit: don't use 11.04 anymore and never used the classic mode much so don't know if it is susceptible to having all compiz plugins unset as the unity session is.

    You may want to get a list of current enabled plugins before fooling around in ccsm too much, though it may not matter in Classic
    If so one way is to run ccsm from a terminal - it will list all currently enabled, can be copied out

    Just found the fix
    sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
    And then I opened CCSM, enabled animation addons...
    No I can BURN, BEAM etc...
