Linux MINT Mate Compiz 有効化

ちょっとメモ程度に貼り付け。

How to install compiz on Linux Mint 14 Nadia Mate edition:

1- install the followig packages:

- compiz-gnome
- compizconfig-settings-manager
- fusion-icon
- compiz-plugins-extra
- libdecoration0-dev

2- In terminal run "compiz --replace" or run Compiz Fusion Icon and choose compiz as your window manager.

3- Go to Startup Applications click on add and in the name field write "compiz" and in the command field enter "compiz --replace"(without the punctuation) click on Add again then Close. This is to make compiz start automatically on next logins.

4- To stop that high CPU usage run in terminal “mateconf-editor”. When the editor opens go to /desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager and replace "marco" with "compiz".

3- install "dconf-editor" by runnig in terminal:

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Then press ALT + F2 and run: "dconf-editor", navigate to org > gnome > desktop > vm > preferences and change the "theme" value from "Adwaita" to any other installed theme you want. Remember this because in the same place you can also change the window button layout, among others.

4- Start the Compiz Configuration Settings Manager and check "Move Window" and "Move Window" and any other functions you want to activate.



5- To remove compiz with all related packages (dependencies) run in terminal:



sudo apt-get purge compiz compiz-plugins-main-default libcompizconfig0



Warning: Removing compiz also removes the packages unity & ubuntu-desktop.

Warning: Removing libcompizconfig0 also removes ubuntu-tweak.

Thus you will lose the ability to log into the unity or unity-2d desktops if you have them installed on your Mint.

Note: if you uninstall compiz you have to prompt a terminal and run “mateconf-editor” and when the editor opens go to /desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager and replace "compiz" with "marco".
