Installing Compiz and Emerald in Backtrack.

Installing Compiz Fusion in Backtrack.
Now this is a wierd thing to do and useless too but I tought that some who use BT as a main OS would get borred and want to add a little graphic.


First of all let's grab all that we need:

Code:

root@bt:~#apt-get install compiz compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported emerald simple-ccsm fusion-icon

Now go to backtrack menu -> system -> compiz fusion
You should see the icon in the toolbar, right click on it and select "Reload Window Manager".


Adding compiz to startup:

Go to /etc/ and edit the file called "rc.local". And just add the files you installed to it, like this:

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

compiz
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported
emerald
simple-ccsm
fusion-icon

exit 0

Now open a terminal and type in

Code:

chmod u+x /etc/rc.local

and you're done, reboot and enjoy.
