If you’re using a new Nvidia or ATI graphic card, you will most likely have to install a proprietary driver for it which you can do under System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager. If you are not sure, please try to get Compiz Fusion working without a proprietary driver first, and if it doesn’t work, install the proprietary driver for your graphic card using the Restricted Drivers Manager.

1)Open the Synaptic Package Manager (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager)

2)Use the Search function and search for compizconfig.

3)You should find the package compizconfig-settings-manager in the results. Click on it and select Mark for Installation.

4)Accept that package’s dependencies by clicking on Mark.

5)Afterwards, you should also select the packages emerald and gnome-compiz-manager for installation (you can use the Search fuction again to find them).

6) Accept that package’s dependencies by clicking on Mark

7)Next, click on the Apply button.

8)Confirm your selection by clicking on Apply again.

9)Afterwards, the packages are being downloaded and installed.

10)After all packages have been installed, you can close the Synaptic Package Manager.

Now :

Enabling Compiz Fusion

• To make sure that Compiz Fusion is enabled, go to System > Preferences > Appearance.
• In the Appearance Preferences window, go to the Visual Effects tab and make sure that Custom is selected. That’s it already. To configure Compiz Fusion, you can click on the Preferences button.

You can do the same by going to System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings.

• In both cases the CompizConfig Settings Manager opens where you can define the behaviour of Compiz Fusion.

What is Compiz-Fusion ?

The Restricted Drivers Manager should offer an NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver for installation:

Choose that driver; a new window will pop up where you confirm your choice by clicking on the Enable Driver button:

Afterwards the NVIDIA driver is being downloaded and installed:

You can now close the Changes applied window…

… as well as the Restricted Drivers Manager (but note the Needs computer restart line in the Status column – I’ll come to this next):

After the reboot the system uses the proprietary NVIDIA graphics driver.

Ways For Installing Flash Player .

1) Download this: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get…9_linux.tar.gz

Right-click on it, and extract it. Then, open the terminal and cd to the directory with the files that were just extracted (if you’ll need help on this, let me know). Then do “sudo ./flash_installer” (I don’t remember the exact name of it.. but just do “sudo ./<name>”)

When it asks you for the path – I think you need to give it /usr/lib/mozilla or /usr/lib/firefox, can’t remember which. After that it’ll be done, restart firefox and it should work.

sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-nonfree
