So I was playing with my compiz with a Intel Graphic card and I enable a effect that caused my graphics to die render my install useless after login, Can I disable compiz before I log in? after I log in all I can do its use ctrl+alt+f2.

How to disable compiz temporarily and re-enable it?I can't find System>Preferences>Compizconfig Settings Manager
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with Compiz enabled (Visual Effects = Normal, in the System-Preferences-Appearance)
The gnome-terminals are transparent. I would like to disable the transparency, because I have a lot of terminals open at the same time and I don't want to be able to see one below another one.
In the gnome-terminal preferences, Background is set to "solid colour". However, Compiz seems to be over-riding this somehow.
I have the CompizConfig Settings Manager installed. I have looked through it but I can't find an option which disables the transparency for terminals. I tried the Opacity, Brightness and Saturation plugin, but it only allows you to vary the transparency level, not disable it entirely, and there doesn't seem to be a way of setting a default.
I like Compiz very much, so I don't want to disable the desktop effects. Does anyone know how to just disable the gnome-terminal transparency?
I'm not using lubuntu. Somehow I selected that and I can't get rid of it now. I'm on Ubuntu with Gnome.
I enabled the compiz on centos . When i move the mouse cursor to the left top on the screen, all the windows will list on the desktop. I want to disable this effect without disabling the whole compizIt looks like the configuration file is ~/.gconf/apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/%gconf.xml

I updated system few days back. and Ka-boom! Suddenly my all desktop effects gone. My theme effects of Mac from the theme Macubuntu 10.10 were gone too. I removed Macubuntu and tried to go into visual effects tab in Appearance Preferences, but it says "Mutter is running, Can't switch to other effects." Now, may this mutter is coming in natty narwhal & new, but seriously it's 2D effects aren't smooth enough.. Also I just can't use Alt+Tab which I'm habitual of.
My question is: How to disable this mutter and re-enable my Compiz-Fusion? I tried to kill mutter process from the daemons and start a compiz.. It didn't work.. Instead, I had to reboot my machine everytime I did that. When I remove mutter from sudo apt-get remove mutter.My desktop stays blank after a reboot and I can't access anything.. Thanks to EasyStroke that I'd given stokes to open a new terminal.
When moving the mouse to the right side of the screen quickly, all the windows are small.Previously I was the first thing I was stopped by removing the mark from the Scale, but now stopped while still influence the rest.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow do I temporally disable compiz when in unity-3d so that I can play a game at the correct speed (with compiz enabled I get about 20% of the speed I get with compiz disabled) I have tried a script with
metacity --replace &
./game
compiz --replace &
But this makes an unusable desktop.
I know I can use unity-2d but that seems to be worse in terms of usability.. I also know I can use gnome2 but whats the point when that will be missing in the next release . Is there anyway of doing this in unity-3d? Are there any plans (possibly from compiz) to ever do this automatically ?
One thing that worries me is that a new user will try a opengl game and think that Linux is far slower than Windows at games (which if you have a nvidia card with the binary driver is not true)
Enable:
Code:
gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager "compiz-gtk"
Disable:
Code:
gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager "metacity"
Log out and log back in

View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to use compizconfig-settings-manager to set some custom settings for compiz, and then have compiz be the window manager that runs when I log in. The trouble is that I cannot seem to find a good way to have compiz run at log in. I can add "compiz --replace" to my startup programs list, but this loads metacity and then replacing it with compiz and seem to add a bit to the startup time (not to mention it seems to be slightly unreliable).
Further, I tried this: Uninstalled compizconfig-settings manager. In appearance preferences, set visual effects to normal. Everything seems to work fine until I log in again, at which point no window manager runs. Setting visual effects to none makes metacity load.
I wanted to know how to uninstall compiz which I installed on my Fedora partition, and now that I logged out, I cannot log in, because every time the desktop loads, large errors come up that bring me back to the login screen. I try to load gtk-2 that allows compiz, but that takes me back to the login screen without an error message, which I consider is wierd. Is there anyway that I could uninstall compiz, ccsm, fusion, and similar plugins from my ubuntu partition, or atleast kick them off the start-up program list so I can uninstall them the next time I log in (successfully)
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe best explanation I can get to my problem is in the title, I get some horizontal strips that I notice specially in videos (I use XBMC, full screen).I had this problem before in 10.4 and I was able to solve it simply by choosing no effects on the old menu for the appearance.
Unfortunately I followed the mote that states "If it works fine in needs more features" and I installed 11.4, now I can't seem to solve this problem... In the loggin screen I have the default option has Ubuntu classic (no effects) and I installed compiz settings and disabled everything there, but I still have the problem.I tried mint debian and I didn't have this problem there with everything off on the settings. How can I get the same effect as that "old" 10.4 menu to disable compiz?
My system:
Ubuntu 11.04
Acer revo R3610 (atom + ion)
4gb ram
(And I have the nvidia drivers installed)
I want to disable the login sound, and System->Administration->Login Screen has an option that seems to be relevant. However, it has no effect. I know the file is at [/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login. ogg]; would I hurt anything by moving it?I have searched Google and gconf-editor, to no avail.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 insists on automatically logging me in without asking for my password. The only thing is, I've disabled auto login and it shouldn't be doing that.
When I first boot up Ubuntu all I have to do is select my username, no password required to log in. I want the login screen to prompt me for my password for better security.
Here are the settings I already have:
System - Administration - Login screenSet to "show the screen for choosing who will log in"
System - Administration - Users and GroupsI am the only user I have an Administrator level account "Don't ask for password on login" is unchecked, i.e. it should ask for my password on login. If I create a new user with the same settings, that user gets asked for its password. But I don't.
Surely this should be enough to disable automatic login.
I have enabled automatic login in Lubuntu, and have now added a second user, I want to DISABLE the automatic login, or perhaps change the default login. The usual Ubuntu admin window for this does not appear to be available. Where in the conf files this setting is, and or whether there is a GUI that controls this.

Is it possible to disable composite for one monitor only and keep it for the other. Or at lease is it possible to have compiz for one monitor only and disable it for the other.
On login, my skydome (in the Desktop Cube) doesn't load up. Instead, I get a gradient.
I go look in the settings manager and sure enough, I see the skydome image file checked there, and I even changed my gradient colors to be 100% transparent. Makes no difference! All I have to do is change /anything/ in the skydome settings and the skydome image suddenly shows up. Literally changing the gradient color will even make the skydome image show up.
I'd like to disable the log-in screen sound. Not after you log on. Since it's my laptop I can't just switch a knob or press the off button. The function keys don't work before log-in.. Well not for sound at least.. I guess you could say it's a bug.. unless it was intended. Anyway, without filling a bug report how can I disable sound @ the login screen?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhenever I boot up my computer, Ubuntu (10.4) brings me to my desktop, then immediately displays a prompt to enter my login keyring. After some searching on the forums, it appears that this is because I set my laptop to auto-login. Am I missing something here, but what does auto-login have to do the the keyring? Why do I even need to enter that password? I understand that many Ubuntu users are picky about security, but why isn't their any option to disable this? It's almost as bad as UAC from Vista, which is one of the reasons I'm dual-booting Ubuntu in the first place. This is an annoying "problem" that has been bugging me since I first installed Ubuntu - how can I change it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI enabled Magnifier on login screen , then it didn't worked correctly and covered right half of my screen! Now I cannot login and cannot disable magnifier and if I restart my computer the magnifier will start again, How can I disable it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIt used to be that this was a service that could just be disabled in System>Preferences>Startup Services, but this is no longer the case it seems. I've tried tinkering with the runlevels in gdm.conf, but haven't had any success with it so far. I've tried commenting out the startup code in the gdm.conf as well. Also no luck.
Most of what I've found are older guides for Karmic and earlier, so if anyone has a more up-to-date solution for how to disable the gdm so I can auto-login to a terminal in Lucid
This is the same question refer to:[URL].. On the login screen, I ticked magnifier in Universal Accessibility Preferences. Now I cannot log-in. However for some reason, I even cannot initial terminal by ctrl+alt+f1.
btw, I did this because the log-in screen in 10.04 is not as nice as the one in 9.10. I was trying to see whether I can change the log-in screen. Anyone knows about this as well? Please help me to sort out "magnifier problem" first.
No matter how many times I press the mute button on my laptop, when I turn it on I get the drums, and when I login I get the music -- at least 2 seconds of it before the mute button will respond. This is not great for turning on the laptop in a quiet lecture hall! I googled for some solutions to this problem, and none of the suggested pathways seem to work with Maverick: System>Preferences>Sound no longer has the option to choose the login sound "System>Administration>Login Screen" has a checkbox labeled "Play login sound," but I have it unchecked and the login sound plays regardless. Is there any way to turn off the login sound in Maverick so I can turn on my computer in peace?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI click on the corresponding checkbox in users and groups but but it doesn't do anything. I also want to disable password prompts in general. Also when I try using Computer Janitor it says it could not complete and to check if other package managers are open, but none are.

I have tried everything to disable automatic login from the login screen (gdm). I've changed my password, I've changed the settings in System -> Admin ->Login Screen, and I've edited /etc/gdm/custom.conf (gdm.conf doesn't exist, but I created it just in case!).No auto login is set up, but I can't get it to ask for my password. This is affecting my ability to switch sessions, as I can't switch sessions without clicking on my name in gdm, and because it's set to auto login,

If it is necessary I could just change it so that it boots into a fullscreen terminal so that you would have to input "startx" and then username and password.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust put 11.4, 32 bit on a system with an Intel D865 GLC motherboard and 865G built in graphics controller. While the install went OK it turns out that X is totally hosed. After fighting with things for a while and discovering that Sax2 had disappeared I poked at Google and discovered some other poor folks that have had similar issues with Intel video cards. Based on a suggestion for a doc in OpenSuse.org I edited the file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf
and added the line: Driver "intel" to it - after that things got better. Obviously the install process had not identified the video card correctly. I'm now left with another issue - while the system now identifies the driver and can talk to the monitor correctly, a Samsung S23A350H I can't open a window after X comes up and I login - basically the same issue as the unresolved Bug 673873: [Bug 673873] intel [865G] Windows flash rapidly or don't appear if Desktop Effects are on in KDE and GNOME
The workaround is to turn Desktop Effects off but since X doesn't work I can't figure out how to do that. I can't find the gnome-xgl-switch or a xgl-switch that used to exist to do it on the command line so that's out. Someone said you could drop the empty file "disable-compiz" in the ~/.config/compiz directory and that would do it but in 11.4 that directory doesn't exist. how to disable "Desktop Effects"/XGL/compiz or whatever it is now called on the command line in OpenSuse 11.4 without a gui if that is still possible?
