How to install Compiz Fusion on Zorin 7.1 Lite?

Tue Oct 15, 2013 9:39:29 am

I saw Compiz Fusion working on Knoppix 7.2 well and it is amazing.
My computer is old but not very old ( 945 Mhz) with relatively good videocard so
Compiz works at an acceptable level on this machine. I would like to make it possible
on Zorin 7.1 Lite, too.
Which version of Compiz Fusion should I install on Zorin 7.1 Lite as Lubuntu derivative and how exactly ?
E.g. compiz-core_0.9.10+13.10.20131011-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
from here http://pkgs.org/search/?keyword=compiz+fusion
would be appropriate or not and which other packages would be needed ?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,

install this version via Synaptic, just type "compiz" in Synaptic search:

1:0.9.9~daily13.06.19~13.04-0ubuntu1

Or via a terminal:

Code:
sudo apt-get install compiz


I cannot say whether or not your PC will support it though as you only posted a little about your system specs.
