Hello!

I am newbie linux user and want to install GLX+Compiz on my ubuntu (Dapper).
But the whole process is overwhelming, not to mention multiple installation guides on ubuntuforums that either dont work or are outdated. Is there a simple procedure I can follow step by step for Dapper?
Also, Where do I get the latest compiz/xgl packages from (for Ubuntu Dapper)?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi grado!

It is a little more difficult on Dapper than on Edgy, but you can follow this guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=127090). When he does the installing of Xgl from CVS, simply use this instead: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl

When he installs all the other stuff from CVS (mesa,..), ignore it and run:sudo apt-get buid-dep compiz

You first have to enable source-repositiories for the "universe" to make the "buid-dep"-option possible ... edit /etc/apt/sources.list for that.

Sorry for the quite short answer, but I am low on time today ... I hope to get you started with that.
