Compiz from a live disc?

[jats605]

If I install Compiz (to enable the 3-D cube) from a live disc (which im runing now) what will happen to it when i take the disc out?

[kimberlite]

Lets try, and see what will happen. Please, post back the result.

my best guess, it would disappear, but then i hav never tried installing such software whilst running from a live cd, and i personally suggest you don't, unless your computer is blisteringly fast as live cds are sluggish anyway let alone trying to run something so cpu intensive, but try it and post what happens

For real this has never been tested?
Then i guess i will try it! 8-)

::EDIT:: Im Installing it now. Will repost results soon in new post (not thread though)

I hate to double post but how do you use compiz when you install it?

System --> Appearances --> Visual Effects tab

or run fusion-icon (if that's installed)

I only have options to have no, normal, or Extra effects. I guess this wraps up this experitment.

CONCLUSION: You can't run Compiz off a live disc.

Extra effects is using Compiz. This will require the installation of a proprietary nvidia driver, modprobing the module, and restarting X...
