Ubuntu :: Compiz Disables Itself - How To Turn Off This Setting
Nov 1, 2010
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 with nVidia 8600M graphics card. I'm running 10.10 Maverick, and I've set up CompizConfig settings manager. Everything works just dandy, but it will sometimes disable all settings. Restarting X fixes everything, but I can't figure out why it disables in the first place. When disabled, all the visual effects are disabled (wiggly windows, transparency, desktop cube, etc.) The settings in System>Preferences>appearance>Visual Effects is set to Extra, and all my CompizConfig settings are the same. I haven't figured out any way to get it working again except by restarting X.
So far, the only times it has disabled like that are when I've set the computer to "suspend" or "hibernate", and a couple times when it has gone to screensaver while running on battery. It never does it while plugged in (but plugging it in will not restore the graphic effects) I have no idea how to keep the graphic effects working. Perhaps it's related to me unplugging my computer and running on battery? If so, is there any way to turn off this setting?

I've had this issue with Flash for a while where I can't click on anything. After I upgraded a friend's linux box and installed Compiz she started having the same issue and suggested I disable desktop effects.
After I disabled desktop effects sure enough, flash started working again.
I'm not exactly sure what's causing the problem. I'll try disabling specific options when I get time later and post anything I find. In the meantime anyone else have this issue?

I have sixteen workspacess arranged in a 4x4 square. When the Compiz desktop cube is enabled, I can only switch between four of them on a row. All keys that would otherwise allow me to switch up and down between rows are disabled, even the ones I set outside of Compiz.
What is worst is that even the Window switchers are unable to change the current row I am on. If I use the Ring, Shift or Static switchers' "All Workspaces" modes, I can see the windows on all sixteen workspaces - but trying to switch to a window that is above or below the row I am currently on will only rotate around to the correct workspace's column, but not actually bring up the workspace the window is on. To navigate between all workspaces, I have to use the "Expose" feature.
Is there any way I can have a cube for horizontal navigation, but keep ordinary vertical navigation?

I was hoping someone could tell me how to turn off the basic windows effects in compiz but keep it turned on so I can use something like Docky.
The reason is because nautilus takes a few painful seconds to open up with the effects turned on and some times I end up clicking a folder etc a second time thinking it hasn't opened.

I had installed SUSE KDE and then installed Gnome too. I had chosen Suse as distro that has incredible KDE performance, however Gnome is great too. I hoped old oversimplistic gnome with disgusting theme, but it was great and fast. Then I had run compiz. I want compiz only on the gnome, on KDE I want Kwin. I could override compiz with
Code:
kwin --replace
, but this temporary solution. Where I can to put this on session startup, or choose kwin on KDE permanently with some kind of preferences

Some time ago, more than a year, and while using linux mint, I had created a shortcut to turn off and on the decoration of the focused window. Now, with compiz settings manager (not the simple one) I cannot find such an option. Any ideas?

I hate this compiz fusion crap on knoppix 6.. I know you can turn it off using 'knoppix no3d' on the boot prompt using a live disk. But how do you save that cheatcode permanently for a hd-installed knoppix sys?

In 9.10 I had compiz turned on, and had enabled the widget layer so I could hide the top & bottom panels (pressing F9 displays the widget layer).However I don't see an option to turn on the widget layer in the Compiz settings in 10.01?

All seems to run fine, and before the yesterday afternoon upgrade, compiz appears disabled and each time I try to enable it I get the error message.I checked the direct rendering is working. Google Earth works fine also, so all seems to be OK.

I have installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 but didn't like the interface so on log in I just start in desktop mode. I am using the CompizConfig Setting Manager and want to activate Expo and other desktop extras. I have changed the System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects to extra but I still do not see Expo in ccsm. Do I need to install each plug in separately? I have included a screen shot of ccsm too.

I messed up my Compiz configuration so I can't use the Xubuntu Desktop anymore. I know what caused the problem, so I simply need to know:In which file is the Compiz configuration stored in Xubuntu?The Ubuntu-Session is not affected, that makes me sure that there are different compiz-config-settings files for Ubuntu and Xubuntu.

How do I tell my Ubuntu 10.04 and/or 10.10 installations (I have both) to *use* Compiz now that it has *evidently* been installed?BACKGROUND -I installed Docky and some other gadgets (Cairo Clock, desktop calendar) that informed me they couldn't be properly displayed unless I "enabled compositing". What I did in response was install xcompmgr, then used Start Up Applications to start it upon boot. Doing that enabled Docky and those other gadgets to display properly: my hardware thus seems capable of supporting compositing to some degree.
Later I was informed that xcompmgr was old and inelegant compared to Compiz. So I used Synaptic to install several Compiz packages. I now have a bunch of Compiz configuration panels and tools, *scads* of options(!), and a panel button.PROBLEM -What I haven't been able to find in all of those wonderful Compiz GUI controls is a way to tell Compiz or my Ubuntu 10 installations to run Compiz. So I can't seem to "turn Compiz on", either in real-time or at boot.The result is that if I disable xcompmgr, then run the Compiz configurator tool, compositing remains disabled such that Docky and those other desktop gadgets don't display properly.QUESTION -
Maybe I've made the wrong assumption, but given the width and depth of the Compiz GUI tools, I would suppose somewhere in there would be a way to tell Compiz or my Ubuntu 10 installs to start and use Compiz on boot, etc.But I can't find those controls. Do I instead need to run a command line? (Seems counter-intuitive given the huge number of Compiz choices I now seem to have, but Linux can sometimes be that way.)For that matter, is my first problem perhaps the I need some way to simply verify that I have all the Compiz stuff I need?

Title is self-explanatory. I turn on swap, restart, and it's off again. Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. I tri-boot with Win7 (32-bit) and LMDE (32-bit) if it matters.

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Windows machine a couple of days ago via wubi (with no partition), and it seems to be working. However, I have a problem: When I press any of the 'special' keys on the keyboard (Vol up, down, mute, and various others), the left-click on my mouse disables. I'm using a Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000, which has a lot of special keys (and the f keys are special by default), so I've been having trouble not disabling my mouse. Anyone know what the problem is, how to resolve it? And on top of that, how do I make the special keys work?

Making wifi work with ndiswrapper disabled usb automount. This happened on several ubuntu versions, including 10.10.
After following the directions given in this post [URL] usb automounting stopped working.
I fixed it this way:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/modules
Added these lines to the file:
Code:
usb_storage
usbhid
Save and exit, worked after reboot or restarting network.
usb automount troubles could also be related to legacy floppy settings in BIOS, see

I just upgraded a Ubuntu Desktop 64bit system from Karmic (9.10) to Lucid (10.04). There were several PostgreSQL 8.3 clusters running on that machine. After the upgrade, postgresql was not able to run anymore.
The package postgresql-8.3 was marked "rc" in dpkg -l I was not able to re-install PostgreSQL 8.3 because of a mismatched dependency. There was no warning. I guess i should have read the release notes, which i didn't. There should have been a warning before it was too late to turn back and upgrade postgresql to 8.4 first. I don't see how this is supposed to work, ever.
I'd like to know if this would be considered a bug, if it is known already and how to correctly file this bug correctly if appropriate (ubuntu-bug ?)

I am running maverick 10.10 with ATI drivers and two monitors. When I boot up both monitors are enabled and in multidisplay mode, showing the login widget and background, but when I log in the second monitor gets disabled and I have to use the ATI control panel to reconfigure to multidisplay. Not a major issue but rather annoying. This also happened with 10.04 LTS BTW. I was hoping for better behaviour in 10.10.
Is there a way to persist the ati control panel configuration across reboot +relogin ? Why would gnome desktop startup disable multidisplay ( and where might that be configured ) ?
I can't see anything obvious in /etc/gdm for this. xorg.conf lists both monitors enabled.

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505, which has the Dell Wireless 1505 (Broadcom) card. To run the card, I installed the Broadcom STA wireless driver, which seems to activate the wireless card OK. The problem is that once I installed that driver my onboard Ethernet card was deactivated (and yes, it is enabled in BIOS). I had to remove the wireless driver to get the Ethernet back. Does anyone have ideas? I haven't found this problem listed elsewhere. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 with no other problems.

The issue i found is that when i connect from ubuntu to windows 2003 server, through rdesktop, using the numeric keypad disables automatically the caps lock setting.To reproduce the problem :
- connect to a windows remote pc through rdesktop
- open notepad
- press caps lock to set the capital letters
[code]....
The result is :
ADKLEFL2390309ajkejkjf
The caps lock has been silently deactivated. Only ubuntu clients are affected by this. I think it's a bug of rdesktop.

I edited my menu using alacarte. There was an unchecked entry of "Panel", so I deleted that entry. After a reboot, my gnome-panel autostarts no more. I reset everythin in alacarte, but I still have to start gnome-panel manually.
How is that possible? Why depends a simple menu entry from the boot configuration? I hate this so much, because I've made 14 reinstalls the last 3 weeks because of those stupid fails. Is there anybody out there having a solution for me (except reinstalling Ubuntu.

there i had a issue with compiz where i would try to enable a plugin but it would disable itself. i tried searching a lot on the net but ended up with almost no luck. Some plugins from the compiz-fusion-main-plugins package disable themselves, this occur because the version of plugin package is actually newer than the compiz and compiz-core packages. To solve this problem i added a repository which had the latest versions of compiz and upgraded them. since the actual repositories for debian testing maintain the two packages with different versions.
