Downloading it now, but not gonna upgrade so soon. I'm comfortable with Feisty Fawn already.

seems that compiz blacklisted certain ATI cards, desktop effect not working

wah where u get ur theme?

after upgrading, i can't activate the the compiz, which i was running happily when i was back using feisty fawn. DANG!

any ideas?

*************************************************************************************************

Damn, my ATI 9550 card is blacklisted.

According to here, http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist

Ignoring the blacklist

Some times you want to start compiz-manager even though compiz-manager blacklists it, this is easy enough:



Or in the case of distributions that name the script 'compiz':



You can also store this value, where it is depends on your distribution, usually it is a matter of putting



in ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager .

But where do it find ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager?
Where is it located?

Hi guy, been using 7.04 with regular updates, just wondering if i need to upgrade to 7.1, any significant different? sorry still learning linux....

What does mean?

I always choose Aussie mirrors. They're pretty fast on my side, maxed out my connection speed.

~/ means path to your home directory.

So it should be in /home/yourusername/.config/compiz/compiz-manager . Can't you just "nano ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager" straight away?

Found the solution somewhere in the ubuntu forum.
Finally, my eye candies are back!

Spinning cube

Don't use the US website mirror's to download, try using Taiwan.
I can get the full download in an hour running 180kB/s

Thanks for the reply

but I still don't understand this sudo thing, I never use anything such as sudo in CentOS.
The only su I use in CentOS is su root, but sudo -s can do the same thing in ubuntu.

so is sudo -s the same as su root? because I cant su root in ubuntu, it keeps telling me, my authentication fails.

that is what i call a sudo abuse. or maybe there is a better name.

sudo is used to give certain user, a superuser access to certain command. or program(it is really the same thing)
of course you can use it to replace su.

here is an example
http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/sample.sudoers

you don't use root in ubuntu, because it is locked.
you can enable it by called sudo passwd, which since passwd didn't receive a parameter, root have no password yet, will create a password for root.

hi .. i just installed ubuntu 7.10 .. previously had some experience with 7.04 and 6.10 ... however with the earlier 2 versions i was running on my desktop with LAN connection
now i installed 7.10 on my laptop .. BenQ S41 .. which has 8600GT gfx .. previous ubuntu versions not really compatible with this gfx so i didnt install

i managed to get everything working ... including INTEL PRO WIRELESS AGN .. problem is .. my wifi connection seems to be lagging or more specifically intermittent .. signal strength is good .. when i do a speed test it shows nicely 1200kbps or more .. but when i surf its always lagging ..
it seems the wifi is more comfortable with BURST of signal or consistent signal running all the time .. so when i surf and read and clik i do not always send or receive wifi signal .. but when i do clik it again it takes forever to load a page .. just like 56k ..

any ideas why ???

jeez, just upgraded myself here too, and i'm here *still* wishing that with every ubuntu upgrade it won't screw my screen resolutions, but here you go, so many revisions of Ubuntu and I still have to reconfigure my xserver all the time...

I'm having problem with wired connection. Once my laptop connected to router, everything become slower, opening a jpeg needs 10 - 30 secs, while before that can open almost instantly. Sigh.

I have just upgraded. If you have issues with your Compiz, you might wanna read my blog entry:

http://yclian.blogspot.com/2007/10/ubuntu-...n-with-xgl.html
