The coverflow is an experimental developpement at the moment. U can install and compile it from bzr and then launch it from the terminal.

Anyway, you can try the beta coverflow version using the deb located at: jordihp.deviantart.com. This way, you can help us by reporting bugs and so on.

You can try development verison following those instructions:

Hi, in jordihp file, it contains two Gloobus .deb package. Do you have to install both? I can use Gloobus-preview by using ctrl+c and ctrl+space but I cant make the Coverflow to work. I already import the schemas and nothing have worked. Is it because I have to install and configure the bzr and clutter as mentioned here. Btw, Im using Ubuntu Karmic Alpha 6 and my nautilus version is 2.28 and I might want to try to revert it to 2.26 and use the patched nautilus. So far the gloobus-preview works with Karmic, so thats a good sign, perhaps.

Hi,
If u are in karmic stay with your nautilus version for the moment...don't revert back to 2.26 u'll got too many dependencies problems. Just wait for a version for 2.28 nautilus. When? i don't know for the moment but before the official release of karmic for sure.

For coverflow, i can't answer u perhaps Jordi or another user can.

Gloobus coverflow isn't in the repos yet.. if you want you need to install it from bzr and compile, there are the instructions here in answers :D

Anyway, we are working to add this to the repository so you could install it from there ;)
