where is compiz-fusion on kubuntu 7.10?

[biggio75]

Hi,

I'm new on this forum, so be good to me!!!

I read that the new ubuntu have compiz-fuzion installed by default, then i downloaded and installed the kubuntu on my pc... but surprise there was no trace of compiz on my system!!!

How can i install compiz-fuzion on my kubuntu gutsy on a asus notebook? I have a intel video card, 3d works great by default, then i don't need to create a xgl x server.

Compiz-fusion is default with ubuntu (gnome) not with kubuntu (kde).
Compiz is still a bit buggy with kde.

This should get you started:

you can probably ignore the fglrx stuff.

If you do a search here for compiz-fusion you find a lot of info.

Welcome and I hope this helps

What is the difference between beryl and compiz-fusion?

And why would anybody install compiz-fusion over beryl or beryl over compiz-fusion?

To put it simply first there was compiz then there was a fork called beryl. Or was it the other way around??
Anyway they both decided to work together so they married (fused, merged, whatever) and had a child called compiz-fusion. Beryl is not supported and is an integral part of compiz-fusion.

As mentioned said that is putting it simply

So beryl stops here and compiz-fusion goes on.

Yes, you could call it Linux desktop 3D next generation

Does it work without bugs in KDE? Or is it only optimalized for gnome?

Not trying to hijack the thread but i seem to have similar issues. I installed compiz as from your thread link above but when i try to run it says no xgl (i have a working nvidia card) . Then it says: Starting emerald
/usr/bin/compiz.real (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: freedesktop.
Another thing is adept notifier comes on top of the desktop and cannot be closed unless i restart X server.

The adept notifier issue was solved in that thread.
