I thought I would post some of my favorite photos.

 



I you want to see more got to my page at deviantart.com
 

this is for people with kids that use linux, im working on a old laptop for my cusion and im looking for a good linux to put on it, its not the fastest, i have knoppix on it, its very fast but i wont one thats more for kids edubuntu is to slow on it. i was thinking yellow dog. if you have in suggestions  would love to here it.

Heres some shots of the up-coming Ubutnu 9.04 this is the final beta (version 6) it is faster then 8.10 so for but i can use emerald, the screen starts to flash so i have to turn it off :( but its ok its worth the wait. i do like the look of the volume bar has a new look.

ok this made me mad, for all you Linux user you now that that when you post a new blog on myspace is says your "Blog advanced editor can't run on your current browser/OS. Hit 'OK' to change to plain text blog editor". i just want to let you that click the ok button to now click the ok button becouse the advanced editor does work with Firefox or what ever browser and it does work with Linux. dam myspace i alway clicked on OK thinking if i click on it that i wouldn't be able to to post my blogs, i  know html and was ok using the test editor but i like seeing what im doing in real time.

Why in gods name do people still use windows?, i mean its crap in to purest form, i was installing service pack 3 for a good friend of mine, it installed fine then ow he's using xp, any ways it installed i retarted the computer like it told me, and then restart after restart, could not get windows to start. People why, why? updated suppost to fix things not make we them worse. if your using windows, dump! get a mac or better and FREE!!! Linux, i have never had problems with it, hell im typing this right know on Ubuntu using Firefox.


Give Linux a shot, it cost you nothing

sorry for so many blogs but i had to show this plugin off lol

This guide is intended for use with Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 compiz version 0.7.8. For those using compiz version < 0.7.8 this guide should not be used.

If you're not sure which version of compiz you have installed, you can use the following command to find out.

Code:

compiz --version


Intrepid:

This is not recommended to anyone not knowing exactly what they are doing.

For those who are using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex and would like to install additional plugins not provided in the repositories, you've come to the right place. NOTE: At the time of this writing, compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported is not the correct version for 0.7.8 which means it should be uninstalled for the time being.

This tutorial assumes that:
1) You have a fresh install of Intrepid.
2) You have Intrepid's default compiz working (0.7.8).
3) You are running as user and not root.



Compiz-Fusion is installed by default in Ubuntu Intrepid and will run as long as you have a video card with appropriate drivers installed and properly configured. Installing drivers is beyond the scope of this tutorial, but there are plenty of guides to configure your graphics card on Hardy; see the Hardware page on the Compiz Fusion Wiki for more information.

Getting the build dependencies
Install the packages required for compiling plugins:
Code:

sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-bcop compiz-dev compizconfig-settings-manager build-essential libtool libglu1-mesa-dev libxss-dev libcairo2-dev git-core

Getting the plugin source from git

Recommended: Create a subdirectory in which to store the code:
Code:

mkdir -p ~/compiz/

In order to get the source, we'll use git. The syntax is 'git clone ' where is the link specified in the summary of the plugin on gitweb. For sake of simplicity, I will provide commands to install some of the more popular plugins. To see what each plugin does, search YouTube.

Code:

cd ~/compiz

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/wodor/anaglyph

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/fusion/plugins/atlantis
git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/metastability/atlantis2

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/fusion/plugins/cubemodel
git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/rcxdude/dialog

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/pat/elements
git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/kdubois/extra-animations

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/fusion/plugins/fakeargb
git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/smspillaz/fireflies

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/warlock/freewins
git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/rcxdude/ghost

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/b0le/photowheel
git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/pafy/screensaver

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/fusion/plugins/snow
git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/metastability/snowglobe

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/fusion/plugins/stackswitch
git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/smspillaz/stars

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/fusion/plugins/tile

One that's not in git:
Code:

mkdir -p ~/compiz/

wget -O /tmp/wizard.tar 'http://oreaus.googlepages.com/wizard.tar'

tar -xf '/tmp/wizard.tar' -C ~/compiz/

Compiling the plugins
Switch to the directory created after cloning or extracting.


Example: For Snow, you would do this:



Code:

cd ~/compiz/snow


Once you are in the directory, you can compile the plugin:

Code:

make clean

make

sudo make install

After compiling
Restart compiz and ccsm.
You can do this by simply closing ccsm, selecting None in System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects and back to Normal or Extra, then start ccsm again (System>Preferences>CompizConfig Settings Manager)

Removing a plugin
If for any reason you want to uninstall a plugin, the following command can be used.
Code:

sudo make uninstall



If there are any problems, please check the prerequisites first, then ensure you have followed all instructions and typed all commands correctly. Each command should complete without returning errors. If all else fails, please post any problems or suggested changes in this thread. For irc support, join compiz-fusion on irc.freenode.net.

Enjoy,
