Compiz noob

[Durduman]

Hello! I followed these steps in how to install compiz pack ( I guess ) and found myself in a dilemma. The steps are:



__________________________________
CODE
sudo apt-get -y remove compiz-core desktop-effects



Leave the terminal open and go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources, click on the second tab (Third-Party Software), then click on the "Add" button and paste the following code:

CODE
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy



Click the "Add Source" button after you pasted the above code and do the same for the following code:

CODE
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy



Don't close the Software Sources window yet!

In the terminal window, type:

CODE
wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/DD800CD9.gpg



CODE
sudo apt-key add DD800CD9.gpg



Now click the "Close" button on the Software Sources window and you will be asked if you want to reload the information about available software, so click the "Reload" button and wait for the window to disappear.

Copy/Paste the following lines in the terminal window:

CODE
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y upgrade



FOR GNOME USERS:

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



FOR KDE USERS:

CODE
sudo apt-get -y install compiz compiz-kde compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig



Now, if everything was correctly installed and you didn't encounter errors, press ALT+F2 and type:

CODE
compiz --replace



That's it! Enjoy the latest 3D eye candy effects on your (K)Ubuntu OS.

I don't understand what those directions are for....I'll take a guess and say there's newer and unsupported effects you're trying to install.

I know this isn't what you want, but perhaps take a look at my guide and see if it will help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1414548

You don't need that other crap, in my opinion. But, from what I can tell, that last code does not go in terminal...it says push alt+F2 which brings up the "Run Application" window....?
