Wooww!! Yesterday found one sooper dooper hot wi-fi spot(Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology provides free wireless to Barista, Koramangala Customers )Sad part is the signal quality seems to be not good enough for my laptop’s WiFi card to pick for usage though I am able to scan the cells. G0SUB is the one who benefited out of it. We sat there for around 6 hrs :O with me trying to get the link up and g0sub enjoying the free wifi. We then moved to have dinner at a nearby restaurant. Today I decided to try for a second time to install AIGLX/Compiz on my Compaq M2208TU laptop running Ubuntu Dapper Drake.

I followed this how-to. Well.. There seemed to have been a recent update to the compiz repos and it worked. The rotating cube is terrific and definitely a wonderful eye candy as well as pretty much makes you “use” the Virtual Desktops.

Again there is always a sad part following a happy time…

My window borders are not displayed and I am unable to Suspend to RAM when using Compiz. I will have to switch back to metacity to go into suspend mode

AFAIK this is a known problem, recently reported by quite a few people, and I sign off by hoping that this will be resolved as soon as possible. Till then its back to metacity!!
