maybe just go to synaptic and find for compiz and install the needed packages?

[jj3502]

i searched for compiz and they were all installed????

[MelDJ]

yes. compiz is installed by default. install the compizconfig-settings-manager package, to edit the settings. it will come in system-preferences after you install it

[jj3502]

but i cant seem to install it?

[MelDJ]

right click the package and mark it for installation. then click apply

[jj3502]

in the Ubuntu software center it says it is not available in the current data

[jj3502]

all apps say not available in the current data

any help appreciated

[MelDJ]

i have never used karmic before. but maybe you could try to change it to show all available applications and not the ones supported by canonical only

[jj3502]
