Ubuntu Tweak

Its been months since I last tried Ubuntu Tweak, and decided to try it again after finding it on some social bookmarking site. It seems to have gotten a better UI with more options than before.

To Install, first edit your /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and add these two lines:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ubuntu hardy main

Now, Update and install ubuntu-tweak

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

Other ways to install Ubuntu-Tweak.

Get Compiz Fusion 0.7.6 on Hardy Heron

I was trying to get the Cylinder and Sphere/Globe effect on My Ubuntu. After trying many scripts that install compiz from git, I found my copy of compiz completely broken. Then after days of googling, I found this https://launchpad.net/~compiz/+archive.

And it seems, all you need to do is edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add these lines

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/compiz/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/compiz/ubuntu hardy main

and then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-gnome

And you might also want to do a “sudo apt-get upgrade” to upgrade compizconfig-settings-manager.

You can now go to System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager and enable Cube Reflection and Deformation (Well, this is why I wanted version 0.7.6.) and edit to your liking.

now just

compiz –replace &
