compiz (extra plugins)

[MatthewWaterman]

Hi I am really new to Ubuntu
I am trying to install the extra plugins but I get this

matthew@matt:~$ sudo apt-get install compiz-bcop compiz-dev libtool build-essential libxcomposite-dev libpng12-dev libsm-dev libxrandr-dev libxdamage-dev libxinerama-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev autoconf intltool xsltproc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package compiz-bcop 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
However the following packages replace it:
compiz-fusion-bcop
E: Package compiz-bcop has no installation candidate
matthew@matt:~$

HELP!

[stlsaint]

try to update the packages and if possible open the GUI synaptic and try to install it with him in the hoop he will present a solution.

what repos/ppa did you get the package from? cant seem to find in synaptic...

good luck with you compiz!
