You will need to install the compizconfig-settings-manager, compiz-plugins-extra, and of coarse compiz. All available in the repository through the software center or synaptic. Once installed you can select the "extras" that you want enabled. Watch the tutorial here

BTW when you install compiz it will pull in a lot of extra packages. Just let it. You will need them to run.

*since the first half of my answer isn't working for you I will edit this to include another option *

Remove the two .HIDDEN files in your ~/HOME directory, .compiz-1 and .compiz then log out or reboot. To verify that these are indeed the correct files....open your file manager> in your ~/HOME directory> Ctrl+h which will show your hidden files. You may have the option to rename them or make a backup by opening a terminal and use this CLI:

sudo mv ~/.compiz-1 ~/.compiz-1_old

and

sudo mv ~/.compiz ~/.compiz_old

REBOOT

  • That what I did , and I didn't find some extra plugins like groups and taps ... Nov 4, 2012 at 17:18
  • Compiz WIKI for advise. wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Group beyond that your machine may have conflicting settings or all the dependences not met for them to work. Check your CCSM settings, mouse and keyboard.

In ubuntu 12.10 with mate i was able to get a few of the extras to work. Downloaded the addons script from gnome-looks. Right now im working on figuring out what exactally needs to be changed for this to work on 12.10 gnome fallback session. As of now I can compile the addons fine but get ld -ign errors when installing. After the script runs i can see Freely transformable windows, wizard and Anaglyph in ccsm but once i enable them ccsm kills itself.
