Desk top effect

[noelc]

Hi,

Hope I,m not going over old territory but I,m a Nebie and would like to get this effect on my Ubuntu 9.04. I tried following the steps on the right hand side but they are not specific enough

Ive installed CompizConfig.

Appreciate any help

You have to update the Intel video driver to the 2.4 version.
Here a link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4
Good luck.

from the description of the video: "A video of my linux desktop (Atlantis),100% free for everyone on the earth.
Ok I'v been asked a million times how to do this so here it is sticky:
1. install linux
2. install compiz
3. enable 3d cube, wobbly windows..ect
4. set cube opacity slider BOTH to 25.
5. use a skydome and check off "animate" (panorama's from google images work well)
6. Install atlantis "fish" plugin
you can get it here:

(extract to your home dir, go into that directory inside a terminal, type "make" then "sudo make install"

whew.. that should be it.. everything else is just tweaking for days however you like it.

also since everyone is asking constantly,
the 1st song is SNES Donkey Kong Country (water level), and the 2nd Song playing is Arno Cost & Arias - Magenta"

actually if you want the extra compiz plugins which include the "Atlantis plugin" just click this link (http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported/compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported_0.7.6-1_i386.deb) it should automatically install also check out this guide (http://my.opera.com/ubuntunerd1/blog/how-to-install-compiz-fusion-in-ubuntu-hardy) on compiz it should help.

Yeah I did see these instructions on Utube but couldnt follow them anyway I,ve managed to get the cube working although when I rotate it its not Opaque,

4. set cube opacity slider BOTH to 25.
5. use a skydome and check off "animate" (panorama's from google images work well)means

Hmm seems things arent as simple as I hoped. When I click on the link to install Altanis plugin I get an error message Error:

Wrong architecture 'i386' I,m running Ubuntu 9.2 64 bit?


Any idea what the issue maybe? 64 bit?
