i suggest running the upgrade. i always do that first b4 i do anything. i usually dont choose anything but was told along time ago i should run it anyway even if i dont want any of the extra packages.

for compiz-fusion do the following in terminal

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

While it won't hurt to install CCSM via apt-get, it was pointed out to me that ccsm has been replaced by compiz-config System >> Preferences >> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings and to access settings and such you can use the Fusion-Icon located at Applications >> System Tools >> Compiz-Fusion-Icon. Everything you need for Compiz is already installed, just a little different method for getting there.

Now - which d'load are you refering to? the 1.7 GNOME or 1.7 GNOME/KDE version? I installed the 1.7 GNOME only version and I did not have any way to adjust compiz settings at all and I did have to install ccsm. I had no prefferences button in the change background window>>visual effects. After installing ccsm though synaptic I did have one. So I think this post should actually be a little more specific in the 1.7 release.

i have the gnome/kde version. and like you stated daddyx3 there is no way to adjust compiz. while fusion-icon is there it would not load. kept giving me an error similar to this

* Using the GTK Interface
* No module named compizconfig
... Trying another interface
* Using the Qt4 Interface
* No module named PyQt4
... Trying another interface
* Using the Qt3 Interface
* No module named qt
... Trying another interface
* Error: All interfaces failed, aborting!

so i just simply install ccsm. i havent tried fusion icon since i install ccsm though so idk if fusion-icon works right now. ill be trying that later this evening though to see if its fixed now.

Baphomet: compiz-config isnt there from the beginning. i had to install ccsm to get Advanced Desktop Effects Settings to show in my menu.

Love the shirt!!!

As for my wife, she' s really impressed with it. As of right now, I have my system running UU 1.7, the kid's computer running PClinux (it's a really, really old system), and my ancient apple ibook running fedora. Now all I have to do is convince my wife that she could actually run linux, and my house would be windows free!!


One other thing, I really like the idea that you did with combining KDE with the normal gnome install. Because my wife is so use to windows, the idea of running KDE makes linux a lot less scary for her.

My girlfriend dual boots Ultimate Edition 1.7 / XP & spends a majority of her time in Ultimate Edition, goes to XP for "The Sims", hmm now to get "The Sims" working in Ultimate Edition & scrap xp There are 4 PC's here none are w/o windows, I would like to change that, one at a time if necessary. Thanks for helping in the effort.
