[all variants] Compile compiz-fusion from git [UPDATED] (NEW SCRIPT)

[Martje_001]

!! This is installing the latest compiz-fusion which might be unstable !!
!! After installing, run compiz with fusion-icon (in application-menu) !!
!! If this script doesn't work for you, try this (original page) !!


The script is not yet stable, please help testing..
To get and run compiz-git:

wget http://www.xs4all.nl/~mgj1/downloads/compiz-git-newest.tar.gz
tar xzf compiz-git-newest.tar.gz
cd compiz-git
./compiz-git install

That's it!

More info here:

Edit: If you don't know *what* you're doing, don't use it...

You misspelled the filename, both here and on that website. Might want to correct that. :>

wget http://www.xs4all.nl/~mgj1/downloads/compiz-git-newewst.tar.gz
wget http://www.xs4all.nl/~mgj1/downloads/compiz-git-newest.tar.gz

edit: Also, where's the Kubuntu Hardy option? I imagine there's not a whole lot of difference, though.

[Martje_001]

Corrected

There is.. Kubuntu Hardy comes with KDE4 if I'm not mistaking.. but I'm working at that!

[Zorael]

There are two version of Kubuntu Hardy, one normal with KDE 3.5.9 (current stable) and one Kubuntu "Remix" version with KDE 4.0.

Most non-bleeding edge Kubuntulings agree that KDE4 is an uncomplete work in progress, so I think it's best to assume that most are still running KDE3. :>

[Martje_001]

I'm downloading both now, to test everything. I think tomorrow there's Kubuntu hardy support

yeah umm....this definatly made all my title bars disapeer and all my windows are up high and i cant drag them back down...cuz they have to title bar...? wtf lol

So how would I go around deleting the old compiz-git from the original thread so I can install this one?

I'm guessing a simple apt-get remove won't be enough

Activate 'Decoration' in CompizConfig Settings Manager and run fusion-icon.
