If You Want The Benefits of The New CD Before It Is Available…
For those of you who don’t want to wait or download another CD iso, here’s a quick guide to get you “updated” to the new features of the new CD! Keep in mind this will replace your current xorg.conf and sources.list files. Also, after it finishes it will automatically reboot your PC. Here’s how you do it:
1. Open a terminal and go into your home directory, then download the updateme script:
cd ~
wget http://www.mylittleubuntuguide.com/files/updateme.sh
2. Make it executable:
sudo chmod +x updateme.sh
3. Run as root:
sudo ./updateme.sh
NOTE: You will be required to press ENTER at one point, when it asks you for the location of your kernel files for the Modem build. Just hit ENTER and the script will finish.
4. After if finishes, it will clean itself up and reboot
After it reboots you should now have Compiz-Fusion working, Horizontal Scrolling working with the touchpad, and suspend working!
Please comment your success or bugs!
NOTES:
1. This script does the exact same thing the new finishup script does. So if you just installed from the CD, the FinishUp script will take care of all the above, no need to do both. If you installed and ran the FinishUp script 3 or 4 days or more ago, you need this.
My current install was using the version before the new finisheme script. I downloaded the updateme script, ran with no errors, did have to press enter as you said.
Unfortunately after it was finished, compiz wasn’t working or even installed (Beryl was uninstalled, though). I don’t have time right at the moment to try and figure out exactly what happened.
Ran the script again, this time had to press enter twice (the second time it wanted the modem’s region). This time around compiz was installed and working great. I’ll miss the beryl-manager though; fusion’s is nowhere near as usable!
Most of the new effects rocks.
Suspend works flawlessly.
works wondrefull on my ATI X1300 RaDeON MOBILITY LAPTOP…The problem is that there is a very high CPU Usage ….its like 50% and above all the time…
Most of the effects are great..offcourse some dont work(probably COZ OF MY ATI ADAPTOR )…..the only concern is the high cpu usage,,,,..
great though…
i notice when running the script i see this
rm: cannot remove `/etc/apt/sources.list’: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/home/xxxxx/finish/sources.list’: Not a directory
cp: cannot stat `/home/xxxxx/finish/xorg.conf’: Not a directory
cp: cannot stat `/home/xxxxx/finish/acpi-support’: Not a directory
xxxx replaces my login
First make sure you ran the script as root (sudo). If not, that’s the problem. Otherwise it sounds like the config file didn’t download. Let me know.
