Would a cross over cable from my computer with the internet to the laptop be able to get the internet on it?

Or any ideas on how I can do this?
This is my USB adaptor;

It's made by Conext or something like that... Apparently there's only two companies, one begins with 'C', the ohter doesn't

Right, I've got a Compiz.tar.gz file and I've extracted it to 'Home'


But I don't know how to install it?

Is that it, How do I do a new line?

so are you on the internet with your linux rig or not?

Motoxrdude

You can do it that way, but compiz fusion is already installed. All you need is just the manager to enable the "advanced effects".
Go to the terminal and type
This requires an active internet connection.

And about your question earlier, you do not need a crossover cable, just a normal ethernet cable will work. Plug it into your other computer, then on your windows computer right click the active connection (the connections with internet) and share it. I dont remember what tab it is under exactly, but youll find it it a few. Then restart and you should now have internet on the xubuntu computer from the windows computer.

EDIT: O and a new line simply means press enter in the terminal.

Nope, On on my Windows Machine... I can't get the internet to work with the Linux lappy...

Would I need the internet for that?

Ah right, I'll see where I can get one

When I press enter it runs the command I just typed...

Yeah, thats what it is suppose to do, now you have a new line, lol. And yes, you need internet to get the compiz plugin manager. I am surprised you don't have a regular ethernet cable laying around. For now you can use some simple plugins. Go to System>>Preferences>>Appearance>>Visual Effects. Then from there select extras. Now apply and exit. Press ctrl+alt and arrow keys to rotate cube, or ctrl+alt and left click
