Ubuntu Magic Lamp Effect 0 wave

The magic lamp effect is my favorite when it comes to minimizing windows, but there’s one problem with it, you cannot configure the “Magic Lamp Max Waves” to zero due to some copyright crap from apple (since they think they invented the effect or something). Fortunately there’s a cure for this, you can patch compiz to make the effect look something like this:

Ubuntu Animation using compiz

For those who like the animation certainly less comfortable if we just use ubuntu without a standard animation we can arrange it. Ubuntu has provided fisilitas so that we can manage the effects on compiz using compiz manager. To maximize the compiz we need to install some applications, among others:

sudo apt-get install compiz
sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins
sudo apt-get install compiz-gnome
sudo apt-get install compiz-core
sudo apt-get install emerald
sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-main
sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Adding GRUB 2 Background at Ubuntu

This is the case that I experienced when it wanted to beautify the Boot Options menu display, in linux is called GRUB. At 9:04 and above already using linux GRUB 2. Here, I'll give announcing how to add background on GRUB2. OK Let's get started ... : D

Open a terminal and run the command:

sudo aptitude install-splashimages grub2

After installation is complete open the folder filesystem> usr-> share-> images-> grub. You will see examples of these images. Select one and then copy the image file name (without extension .tga)

Restoring Grub2 After Installing Windows

Easy installation sequence for installing 2 operating system between Windows and Linux is to install Windows first and Linux because Linux is the next in charge of installing the Multi Boot Menu in the MBR (Master Boot Record). Discussion on Windows and Linux installations I will not explain here since a lot of tutorials in a virtual world that already explained about it. What I want to discuss is what if there is damage to the windows and forcing us to reinstall our windows. Will have to reinstall Linux as well? Hohoho there is no problem that there is no way out: D This is the case of my own experience. Previously there were two operating systems that I use is Windows XP and Ubuntu 10:04.
