Ubuntu 8.10 with Compiz Fusion on a Presario V5000

May 24th 2008 in Ubuntu

Well, I have a previous post with many steps. But after installing a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 I was able to skip all that and do just one simple step for Compiz Fusion. Well, maybe two steps:

Step 1. Click System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, and enable “ATI accelerated graphics driver”. Let is install what you need, and reboot when it says to. Then upon reboot:

Step 2. Use this command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager gnome-art usplash startupmanager

And reboot again, and your set! You can now go to System > Preferances > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, and set Compiz Fusion how you would like. You can follow the tuturial I used in the previous guide for this, Forlong’s Compiz Fusion Customization Guide.

The following couple steps allowed me to get my BSM43XX wireless internet card to work in my Presrio V5000 laptop, running Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.10. I found the steps at the Ubuntu Forums.

Do the steps one line at a time.
sudo apt-get install build-essential
wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
tar xjf b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
cd b43-fwcutter-011
make
cd
export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR=”/lib/firmware”
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod
