Ubuntu12.04 Special Effects

Note: If you are running Ubuntu on a virtual machine, please do not read it. Currently, the virtual machine does not support 3D effects.

1. Set the software source and update the software

Click the dash homepage (Ubuntu icon) on the Left bar and enter the update Manager. The update manager is displayed. Click settings. The software source dialog box is displayed. To ensure normal updates, select the master server.

Click Check. After the update, click restart.

2. Install the video card driver

Click system settings on the Left bar, and then add the driver to install the driver.

3. Install related software

Ccsm and 3D desktop can be implemented only by running this software.

Ubuntu 12.04 does not have enough default 3D desktop effects. you can install some plug-ins to generate more effects on your 3D desktop.
Press the shortcut key alt f2 to open the "run a command" dialog box and enter:

sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins-extra

Tweak, you can add some options in the menu of the User Logon interface to facilitate the entry to the gnome classic desktop or GNOME 3 desktop

Then restart the computer. On the user logon page, click the Ubuntu icon in the upper-right corner of the user name and password input box,
A menu will pop up. There are only two menus, and now there are five:

* Gnome uses gnome 3 desktops without 3D special effects * gnome classic uses gnome classic desktops and automatically enables desktops with 3D special effects * gnome classic (no effects) uses gnome classic desktops, do not enable 3D effects * Ubuntu uses unity desktop (default), and automatically enables desktops with 3D effects * Ubuntu 2D uses unity desktop, without enabling 3D Effects

I use Ubuntu with 3D effects.
