compiz fusion

[sridarshan]

can anyone tell me the step by step procedure to install compiz fusion

help required for a complete newbie

Are you using GNOME or KDE as your graphical display?

You need to do something like:

sudo apt-get -y install compiz compiz-gnome compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra libcompizconfig-backend-gconf

Then if you don't get any errors, run:


compiz --replace

Hope that helps!

Package libcompizconfig-backend-gconf is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libcompizconfig-backend-gconf has no installation candidate
