DarkKnight: hey can anyone tell me how to get the desktops in cube shaped....and other such features
psycardis: !compiz | DarkKnight
ubottu: DarkKnight: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
{
To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties -
}
Jack_Sparrow: DarkKnight Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Next go to system----->preferences----->advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set the values to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse
{
My Additional Explanation
You'll see 3 values....
Horizontal virtual size : set this value to 4
Vertical virtual size : set this value to 1
Number of desktops: : set this value to 1
)
koshar1: DarkKnight under window management in advanced desktop effects select Scale
What you need to try out after installing??
keep holding Ctrl+Alt and now roght-click the mouse on the desktop screen and move the mouse.... remember that you have to continuously hold three things.......
1) Ctrl button
2) Alt button
3) right click of the mouse
now move the mouse without releasing these 3 things..... you get similar to this picture
Wonder if you can see all four desktops at once.....
Yes you can.....
Simultaneously press two keys.....Window key + e
you get your desktop look like this....

Updating all systems with a single download of all packages using Aptoncd
DarkKnight: ikonia; hey is there a way that we can download all the required packages like anjuta, umbrello etc...along with gcc, g++, gcj, mysql....etc.... and use these packages on all systems....
ikonia: DarkKnight just open synaptic and click install on them
! aptoncd > DarkKnight
ubottu: DarkKnight, please see my private message
ubottu: ikonia wants you to know: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers
What next if you want to install packages from the cd you just created with Aptoncd?
Soon after you insert the cd.. you have to go to System---->Administration---->Aptoncd
then you have to select Restore tab and select the option Restore Aptoncd
