Flat instead of cube?

Asked by Backcracker

In Gutsy (clean install), with all effects enabled, I see only a flat workspace (4 desktops next to each other). How do I enable the cube?

If you start the app 'ccsm', in the desktop section select 'desktop cube', this should disable desktop wall.

First be sure your system is upgraded

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then go to menu System->Preferences->Appearance->(tab)Visual Effects->Select Custom

If the system don't get you a "Deskyop effects can't be enabled" message then go to

Preferences Button->Desktop->Rotate Cube

Yes, we must add the compizconfig-settings-manager

this is not installed by default, we must open a terminal:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

we must give user password when requested, we don't see nothing when we type it, then press enter
