Ubuntu :: Completely Reinstalling Compiz In Lucid?

May 29, 2010

I've been having a problem with my main user account ever since I installed Lucid where after I enter my login credentials, the desktop always freezes. Since I've been having this problem, I created another user and have been able to login fine with this one. I have determined that the problem is with compiz, so I want to completely reinstall compiz, including any configuration settings. However, there seem to be a number of packages that go with compiz so I'm not sure what steps I can follow to accomplish this.

Ubuntu :: Remove Compiz Completely

Mar 18, 2010

I am looking for an option to completely remove compiz.

I fired up synaptic and removed compiz completely.

Now i have just one problem.

Metacity is not fired up by default.

so i have desktop and winows also open but without borders. i.e without any desktop manager.

I know a workaround, i.e. to add metacity --replace in startup applications. but this is work around and not the actuall work. my system Ubuntu 9.10 x64

Ubuntu :: How To Uninstall Completely Compiz

Apr 5, 2011

I want to uninstall compiz but I have some problems. When I completely remove the package with Synaptics, compiz is still installed on my computer! Few days ago I installed compiz following this website [URL] and it probably explains why. Now how do I revert the process? How do uninstall everything? I tried sudo apt-get remove compiz* but it tells me the it cannot locate compiz-check (even though it is installed)

Ubuntu :: Reinstalling Lucid - Build Custom Install Disc?

Jul 3, 2010

After troubleshooting the lockup problem on my installation of Lucid, I want to wipe the thing and reinstall. I have an integrated Broadcom wireless chipset that I want to integrate the firmware into the new Lucid install disc, along with Nvidia's 180.06 drivers for my GeForce4 440 Go (yes, it's an old machine). I need to build this from XP though, since my current Lucid install is to the point of unusable.

Is there any good way to do that? With XP builds you can use nLite to slipstream just about anything into a clean XP install, including all available hotfixes, extra drivers and a few applications. Is there a similar program for building Ubuntu installs that can do that as well? Also, if I download a new ISO of Lucid to build from, will it have all the current updates integrated, or it be up to me to do it? Edit: just realized I posted this under the wrong topic.

Ubuntu :: Lost Compiz On Lucid With Intel HD Graphics?

Jul 23, 2010

I honestly have no clue how this happened, but compiz now refuses to start. I discovered that somehow GLX had been uninstalled and replaced by SWX (the software rasterizer - this gives Brian Paul as the OpenGL/GLX server vendor strings). Reinstalled GLX, currently have Direct Rendering and the proper vendor strings (SGI and Tungsten, I believe).Still nothing. OpenGL seems to be working fine, as Nexuiz runs pretty well.I tried running compiz --replace from the terminal to get any errors, but it just spits out "Falling back to default window manager", without so much as a hex code to tell me why--------Update---------Ran compiz --debug --replace to see if I could get anything else. It gives the following:Quote:taintsauce@the-****ing-fury:~$ compiz --replace --debugcompiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /home/taintsauce/.compiz/plugins/libcore.so : No such file or directorycompiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /usr/lib/c

Ubuntu :: Compiz Config Settings Manager In Lucid

Aug 2, 2010

So I decided a while ago to download the newest distribution release, Lucid Lynx, and try it out on a LiveCD. The first thing I installed onto the LiveCD environment was CompizConfig Settings Manager. One question I have about it is... Why are so many of the plugins missing or limited?

In 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, there are many plugin options, and to be honest, I use a large quantity of them. For example, a plugin I use on 9.04 called "Reflection." For those of you who don't know, reflection allows you to show an image in window decorations and shadows. This plugin is completely missing from CompizConfig Settings Manager in 10.04!

Another example, this time a limited one, is the Animations plugin. It's missing the option for closing animation called "Burn." This is an animation I LOVE showing off and using, yet it's... Gone.

Am I missing something? Did I do something wrong on installing it? Is there a way to get the parts that are missing?

Just in case you're wondering how I installed it, it was the popular method of using GNOME-Terminal and typing:

Code:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Ubuntu :: Cmpile Compiz 0.8.8 From Sources In Gnome (Lucid)?

Jun 12, 2011

Due to the fact that there is not Official or PPA available for the new stable Compiz 0.8.8 announced on 30th March 2011 [URl]... here is a guide to compile it from the sources. This guide works for Gnome env only; I wasn't able to compile the KDE part This procedure has been tested on Ubuntu Lucid and Maverick.

Create a backup of your active compiz settings:

Code:
cp -a $HOME/.config/compiz $HOME/.config/compiz.bak
Install the dependencies (Lucid):
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libxcomposite-dev libpng12-dev libsm-dev libxrandr-dev libxdamage-dev libxinerama-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libgconf2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libmetacity-dev librsvg2-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-window-settings-dev gitweb curl autoconf automake automake1.9 libtool intltool libxslt1-dev xsltproc libwnck-dev python-dev python-pyrex libprotobuf-dev libprotobuf5 protobuf-compiler python-sexy wget libfuse-dev

Ubuntu Installation :: Compiz Slow In Lucid Kernel - Run Normail In Karmic

Jul 30, 2010

When Lucid released, I upgrade the Karmic in my Thinkpad R61 using

Code:

One things that remains until today is that when I'm using latest kernel (right now 2.6.32-24), the compiz run very slow, make the whole desktop unusable. When compiz is killed and using metacity, the desktop is running in normal speed.

Fortunately I still had the Karmic kernel (2.6.31-20) and booting using this kernel, everything run normally.

I just wonder what cause the latest kernel make compiz become slow. Is there any leftover application that I had to uninstall (maybe it's like pulseaudio's problem above), or any missing library/application that I need to install?

Ubuntu :: Compiz Won't Work Using The Compiz Ppa

Feb 19, 2011

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.'

Code:
Backend : ini
Integration : true
Profile : default
Adding plugins
Initializing core options...done
Initializing move options...done
Initializing resize options...done
Initializing place options...done

Ubuntu :: How To Get Back Without Reinstalling It?

Feb 26, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 inside windows to a USB hard drive. Later Windows had a fatal error and I had to reinstall it, and lost the MBR. I've tried several "fixes" that were supposed to work and none of them worked. I don't want to lose the Data that was on Ubuntu since I've already had to lose everything that was on Windows.

Ubuntu :: Reinstalling From USB - What Should Back Up?

Apr 6, 2011

Except for the obvious home folder, how can I save at least some of my settings, like the background picture, the icons, my customizations to the menu?

Also, If ubuntu on the USB is not working perfectly (software center crashes most of the time without any reason) it shouldn't impact the resulting install on my hard drive, right?

What do you back up usually except the Home folder?

And a last thing: What is, in ubuntu, the closest thing to syncing in Google Chrome? What else would you recommend to do before deleting everything and making a new ubuntu on your pc?

Ubuntu :: Use The Rest Of Harddrive Without Reinstalling?

Jan 7, 2010

I thought I installed properly, but once again I've made a mistake. I'm trying to make use of the 114 gb I didn't assign as file system space, but I can't seem to access it or write to it. I've officially run out of space in my file system and I've got a lot to do still. Any thoughts on how to make the unused partition accessable?

Ubuntu :: Deleting And Reinstalling Firefox?

Oct 22, 2010

I was on line and viewed a Picassa slide show. I went to F11 for the full screen and after I closed Picassa,my Firefox browser had been reset,creating all kinds of issues,taking out my status bar,making it impossible to access the three icons in the top right hand corner of the screen,and so forth.

When I removed and reinstalled Firefox from the Synaptic Package Manager,it did not give me the option of not saving the settings and the same issues pertained to the newly installed one.

Does anybody know the shell code to remove and reinstall the Firefox Browser unsullied,pristine,not saving the existing settings?(realizing I'll lose the bookmarks and have to set it up anew?)

Ubuntu :: Config Files Not Reinstalling?

May 11, 2011

I mistakenly deleted /etc/apache2/port.conf, so I tried to reinstall the package with "apt-get", but nothing. I dug myself in deeper by thinking a script skipped it because the directory was there, so I removed it completely. After reinstalling using "apt-get install apache2", the folders came back, bot non of the config files where there. I am now lost. How can I get them all back?
