beryl-kde (how to install)

[mikkko]

greetings, i just recently installed kubuntu in my laptop(Dell Inspiron 5100). then i upgraded it to 8.04 since it was a 7.10 version.

anyways, i wanted to enable nice effects, so i searched for stuff on how to enable them on kubuntu..

then i saw it on this site...
http://pcquest.ciol.com/content/handson/2007/107040305.asp

when i tried following it, it gave me these:

$ yum install beryl-kde
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

No module named cElementTree

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 21 2008, 11:12:42)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please send this
message to <yum@lists.linux.duke.edu>.


what will i do next? im still a beginner at linux, and i wanted to have those cool cube thingies that my friends have on their linux os..

thanks in advance.. ^_^

Are you sure that you want to install Beryl instead of Compiz-Fusion? Beryl is really outdated and can cause some problems.

Edit:- Also, are you running Hardy or are you running an rpm distro? Because yum is the rpm version of apt and cannot be used properly on Hardy.

Hey
Yum is the package manager for a Red hat based distro.
ubuntu and kubuntu use apt, so the instructions on this page will not work.
You're best of to search on google on installing compiz fusion on Kubuntu 8.04.
