Installing compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm) on Ubuntu Eee (Hardy Heron)

Ubuntu EEE comes along with compiz-fusion so you don’t have to post-install it. It is pre-configured to its default values, thus, desktop cube and other coolness factor of compiz don’t work initially. Now, you have to install, compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm). ccsm is an application, very useful in configuring compiz-fusion. It comes with pre-installed plugins including Desktop Cube, Rotate Cube, etc. etc.

HowTo install compizconfig-settings-manager on Hardy Heron

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

After ccsm is successfully installed, you may now follow Forlong’s guide on how to setup compiz-fusion.

Note that it’s not vital to have the rotating cube and all eye candies, but it’s worth it. Cool to have it. Here’s mine.
