    I will be very happy if someone help me to install Beryl by using this http://www.beryl-project.org/releases.php.
    My current distribution is Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.

    Are you sure that you want Beryl ?

    As said in the Beryl wiki
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryl_(window_manager)
    Beryl was a compositing window manager for the X Window System which forked from Compiz in September 2006 and was re-merged in 2007, under the name of Compiz Fusion.

    <snip>

    As of March 30th, 2007, Beryl and Compiz have decided to merge their projects back into one. The Beryl project has been shut down in favor of the new merged project Compiz Fusion

        Re: Beryl

        Beryl was in the Feisty repos last summer -- it might still be there. If so, the easiest approach, IMO, would be temporarily to enable the Ubuntu Feisty repo, mark Beryl for installation with Adept or Synaptic (or use apt-get), and then disable the Feisty repo after you have Beryl installed.

        To be boring and redundant, Beryl is non-supported and non-maintained for almost a year now -- compiz is the current eye-candy package.
