I just insatlled Ubuntu 11.04 64 bits and I've got one big problem. In fact, I tried to install Emerald and it crashed immediatly. Since that I can not have any effects on my computer. I tried
Code:
compiz --replace
but nothing happened really. I just have a lot of errors I don't understand.
Code:
Backend : gconf

I did a clean install and mounted my user folders/partitions back after removing everything else from the Home drive to ensure no incompatible leftovers from Maverick.Now, I am dissapointed to see that I can't get blur on my transparent windows. This worked like a charm in Maverick and it looked brilliant but now it's often hard to tell windows apart if there are windows below the active one. So I had to turn down transparency... I have D-bus enabled, proprietary drivers installed and I have been Google-searching like crazy to find a solution. None.. Do any of you know the status of this plugin in Natty? Should it work, does it? Or not?I have Focus blur activated and working, it helps but not enough. My videocard is Radeon HD 4650 (AGP).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble getting compiz to work on my Laptop. It worked for a while and then I turned on Shift Switcher and a message popped up saying..."The new value for the button binding for the action Terminate in plugin Shift Switcher conflicts with the action Zoom Window of the Scale Addons plugin. Do you wish to disable Zoom Window in the Scale Addons plugin?" I was given the option of Set Terminate anyway, Don't set Terminate, and Disable Zoom Window. I clicked Don't set Terminate and ever since the only thing that works in compiz are the bindings in the general options. I've used synaptic to completely remove and then reinstall compiz but the problem persist. Something else weird, all of the changes I made are still there, even after complete removal, but they don't work?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble making a back-up of my system through back in time. I use the sudo option because I need to back up my mysql and apache configurations apart from the usual home directories. My back up runs to an external hard drive.
Now every time I run the back up, it takes 45-90 minutes to do its thing but at the end in the left bottom corner comes a message saying that the back-up couldn't be done.
I have tried several things, like making more space in the hard drive, running without sudo but to no avail.
I have Ubuntu 10.4 Running in Virtual Box 3.2.8 on Windows 7.I have managed to get Compiz to work for gnome, and upon installing the KDE packages for Ubuntu 10.4 compiz does not work in KDE, but does in Gnome.How do I fix this?Also if I update to 10.10 Beta, will the update manager tell me when the next beta, rc or even full version is released?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got 9.04 and 9.10 both installed on the same machine. The /home directory is on a separate partition, so both OSes use the same /home.I can't get Compiz to work at all in 9.10, even though it's been perfectly fine in 9.04. Is there a backport of some sort that i should install?The fixes I've found all point to editing the xorg.conf file, but of course, Karmic doesn't have an xorg.conf file.I've tried reinstalling the Compiz files, reinstalled the open-source video drivers, installed/uninstalled fglrx drivers a few times, rebooted dozens of times.

I read that Natty will use Unity as the preferred desktop environment, together with Compiz. I found that on my system Compiz - while very neat - will cause instability so I'd rather not use it. How would the desktop stack look for a user not wanting to run Compiz under Natty? Can I use Mutter with Unity? Or maybe I should replace Unity with Gnome? Will my Ubuntu like this (replacing Unity with Gnome)? Will Ubuntu make it easy for users to dump Compiz if they want to do so?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am dual booting natty and linux mint debian edition. I have noticed in LMDE compiz is far, far, far, far smoother. In natty scrolling, resizing, and animations are all noticeably laggier. In LMDE I can use the normal resize with no problem, in natty its so laggy I need to use rectangle or stretch. Animations are also glitchy (fade animations have white flicker) In lmde there are no visual hiccups.
I am using the same driver and kernel in LMDE, the major difference is LMDE has a much older compiz (0.8.4, before the compiz++ rewrite I believe.) Does anyone know why the newer compiz in natty is so much slower? Does anyone else expereince this? my video card is an hd2600 using the cat 11.4 driver, but I experience these same issues with the oss driver.
I've played around with both Unity and Gnome 3 and I love them both. I've decided for now I'm using Unity on my laptop but I was thinking I'll use Gnome 3 on my desktop for particular reasons (I may switch to Unity if I find I'd like it better). My question is, if I install Gnome 3 via the ppa, wouldn't compiz no longer be supported with Gnome 3? Matter of fact I probably wouldn't use anything from compiz even if it could. Hence would it be safe to remove unity and all of compiz or do things in Ubuntu still depend on them? I also wouldn't want them still running in the background or anything. Perhaps now that Ubuntu decided to go the Unity way, that they should support a Gnome-shell build? Like Kubuntu/Xubuntu, even though regular Ubuntu still uses Gnome.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter rebooting, the first message i've been shown was: "Your hardware doesn't support Unity". First strange thing: Unity was working perfectly on all the Beta live versions I've tried before the upgrade.
Well, not a big problem, I didn't really like Unity. Let's stay with Gnome + Compiz, I said.. but Compiz effects don't work anymore. When I try to do System --> Preferences --> Appearance, the "effects" tab doesn't show anymore. The file named "screenshot1.png" will show you this problem, even if it's in Italian: there are only the Theme (tema), Background (sfondo) and Fonts (Tipo di carattere) tabs. Also look to the strange, fuzzy right corner of the themes previews. This didn't happen on 10.10. 3d rendering should be working, since I get
Code:
glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes
But nothing works.
System->Administration->Hardware is empty, but it has always been empty, even on 10.10 (but Compiz effects were working). When I try to set Compiz as windows manager in Compiz Fusion Icon, sometimes the title of the windows disappear, along with the minimize, maximize and close buttons. Do you think there's something I can do to fix all these things?
I am having some trouble using the compiz config settings on the new "Natty Narwhal" 11.04. On 10.4, it worked seamlessly; the 3D desktop cube worked, 3D windows worked, and rotating desktop cube also worked. On Natty Narwhal, nothing works-- at all. It may seem kind of childish for me to download compiz config just for the cube, but the fact that compiz config alone isn't even working is kind of making me nervous. Though, it would be great if someone could help me with the cube.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading to Natty from the previous version and switching to Ubuntu Classic my compiz settings were completely wiped out. No problem, I just re-entered them. The problem is that I don't get any menu bar on my windows. It also happens once in a while in Metacity but using the compiz fusion icon utility to reload the window manager will usually fix the issue. I have had this problem intermittently in the past but have always been able to resolve it by reloading the window manager. Now when I'm using compiz I ALWAYS have this issue and it makes compiz unusable. Compiz is not just eye-candy for me, it has become integral to the way I use my computer. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've just (finally) upgraded to Natty from Maverick. After the faffing around to restore my favoured AWN and Compiz combo, all's now ok, except for one annoyance to do with Compiz (0.9.4) and the workspace switcher. I can use the mousewheel to rotate workspaces up/down (actually, left/right) to go from 1->2->3->4->5->6->1.. and 6->5->4->3->2->1, but it won't rotate down / left from 1->6. It works ok if I use <Ctrl>left arrow from w/space #1.
I've checked the mappings for Button4 and Button5 in CCSM, and there's no clash. So, am I right in thinking this is probably a bug? Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix? Is downgrading to Compiz 0.8 likely to fix it?
As said here: [URl] I want the sphere deformation, but that needs the PPA apparently (I can't find it anywhere in the default compiz Ubuntu 10.10 ships with.) Compiz starts, but it says it can't load plugin 'decoration.'

I wanted to try to Natty 64 on my wife's Macbook Pro 2.1 (Core 2 Duo + ATI X1600) and I got a FAIL.
Indeed the LiveCD doesn't start at all, I don't even get the Try/Install GUI, just a sort of choice:
Code:
1.
2.
Select CD-ROM Boot Type : And a blicking cursor, I have no keyboard control at all, and I can't get something other than switching off the Mac.
Compiz Fusion set to load on boot; it doesn't. Settings checked as start on boot, it just doesn't and has to be loaded manually from desktop 2.) Desktop Drapes (wallpaper changer) also set to load on boot; also doesn't do so, even though checked to do so, and also must be loaded manually from desktop. 3.) Something is hogging CPU cycles something awful; if I have more than a few tabs in Firefox open, it takes forever to scroll or reload, and the entire system just bogs almost to the point of unusability. This same behavior exists offline when using any graphic capability (Shotwell or even just Nautilus file manager, if viewing graphics as thumbnails.
I realize this is kind of all over the place and all-inclusive, but although my experience USING Ubuntu goes on several years, it's been generally so trouble-free that I've not had to dig around under the hood much, and I'm kind of at a loss as to where to begin troubleshooting this mess. Would it be easier to just back-up and nuke/reinstall the OS?
Can I get glunarclock to work in Natty? If I can't, is there another program I could use to see the moon phases on my desktop/bar?

During the past days, I've tried "everything" to get flash working in my fresh Natty 64 Bits install to my Acer Aspire 5745G -laptop. I've read countless of hours through the forums, but none of the tips have helped in my case. Using the latest Firefox and Chromium.
For example, I've downloaded the 64 Bits "libflashplayer.so" from Adobe:[URL].. and put it into: sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and restarted the browsers, even the entire PC, but still flash doesn't work. What an I doing wrong?
since i upgraded to natty recently the lexmark x2650 stopped printing, the scanning continues to work. I can install the driver which is offered by lexmark, but not print. I am using natty 32bit, and the driver is lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip The error output looks like this:

I have spent the last two weekends trying to get Vista and Ubuntu(natty) to work together.From Ubuntu:
- I have disabled ufw
- setup a shared directory at /mnt/public (Permissions on public are 777)
- Ubuntu can access Vista shares.
- From the GUI, the "Network Servers" directory contains a "Windows Network" directory, but the Windows Network is empty.
- I can ping the Vista machine
From Vista:
- Nothing is visible. The ubuntu PC itself is not listed in the "Network" folder or map.
- I have disabled all firewalls (including the router)
- I can ping the ubuntu machine by IP address but cannot access it by IP address through
- "Run" - I enter \192.168.1.50, then get the logon pop-up. I enter the ubuntu creds, then receive a "Windows cannot connect to \192.168.1.50..." error message.
- "Command Prompt" ftp (or sftp) - I get connection refused.
- via "Web Browser" - I get the following message: "It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet." The problem is that it doesn't work.
Everything I have googled up so far has been problems connecting in the opposite direction. I am trying to get to the Ubuntu machine. Although I checked all the smb.conf, inetd.conf and a few other files that I've seen mentioned, I cannot get the Vista machine to connect to the ubuntu machine.
Is there a version of synfigstudio that will work on natty? If so can I get a script to download and install it? If not, can someone suggest an alternative?

View 1 Replies View RelatedRunning a Eee 1005HA netbook that has an Intel 945 GMA. Yes, I am in Lucid. First, I tried turning on the desktop effects. I did this the way Ubuntu intends, by going through Appearance Preferences, going to the Visual Effects tab, and selecting the Normal option. My screen went black, the option is ticked, but there are obviously no effects in place.
So I go to a terminal, type in "compiz", and I get this:
Code:
$ compiz
WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePixmap" when GLX 1.3 is not supported! This is an application bug!

Window manager warning: Received a _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE message for 0x1000005 (Atheist Co); these messages lack timestamps and therefore suck. From what I understand, I have the VESA drivers going by default. I've heard that changing that to "intel" in xorg.conf can fix this issue. This netbook is more than capable of handling compiz, especially with the RAM upgrade.
Turns out I've been out of the loop too long and xorg.conf doesn't exist anymore ever since 9.04 (or 10?). So now I don't even know how to tell xorg to use the intel graphics. I've ran glxgears and it runs at about 1415 FPS in 5 seconds. glxinfo | grep rendering says direct rendering is on.
EDIT: Well, turns out it's a dual monitor problem. I'm not connected to the other monitor and compiz is working quiet well for the netbook... kind of wish it would work with two monitors though
