View 3 Replies View RelatedStill new to the ubuntu world, here's my issue short and quick. Card seems to work fine until I try to change visual effects to "Extra". At that time the desktop goes black, but I can still see both bars 'top&bottom' and any windows, I am sure you know as well as i that support for the 7500 seems scarce.........
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just installed the new Ubuntu and have most things working on my Hp 6735s, i have beed playing around and find that i cannot change the Visual effects, it looks for the drivers and doesnt find them, could you please advise what i need to do to get this working. The graphics card i believe is a ATI Radoen 3200. Any help would be great, also dumb it down for me as i have been so used to windows im not that up on terminology of everything.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to change the Visual Effects settings from Normal to either of the other 2 choices, the screen goes black and nothing happens. Could this be a driver issue? Should I buy a video card instead of using on-board and if so, which ones work the best with Ubuntu?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to change my Visual Effects in the appearance menu to Extra. I had it working before, then uninstalled and reinstalled Compiz and Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm) to try to fix somethingand now when I go into the appearance menu to change the visual effects, it let's me change the radio button, I confirm the changes (no wobbly windows though), close the window and open it again, but it's reset to None. how to fix this? Is there a prefs file I can edit directly?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I'm interested in using Jokosher as an alternative to Garageband, which is what I'm used to using for recording music. After messing around with it a bit I've encountered a couple problems.The first is that Jokosher doesn't seem to remember the audio input device I selected the last time I used it. This may seem like a minor complaint, but I like to use my computer sort of like a tape recorder - that is, I use it to jot down quick musical ideas for later reference. With Garageband my internal mic is automatically selected, so all I have to do is press record. With Jokosher, however, I have to select the input I want to use every time I open the program. This, to me, kinda defeats the purpose of using a computer as a quick note-taking tool. Is there any way to set a default audio device for Jokosher to use, or to somehow make it remember which device I selected the last time?
The second is that I don't know how to install effects for this program. When I press the "effects" button it tells me that I need to install LADSPA-compatible effects myself. I've done a little bit of googling and still I can't figure out how to do this or which effects I should get.
im using the ubuntu distro and when i goto the visual effects tab and click on normal or extra, it says "desktop effects could not be enabled" also, i have Two hdd's, a 100GB that has windows 7 and ubuntu. and a 250GB that has Windows XP. GRUB didnt notice windows xp though, so its not a boot option.

[Code]...
I like the Visual Effects tab feature. I noticed that is gone from Ubuntu 11.04 and subsequently from distros based on it such as Linux Mint 11.The image attached is of Ubuntu 10.10. How would I get the None and Normal effect settings in Ubuntu 11.04Linux Mint 11?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having a bad slowdown issue when I enable Visual Effects with the Ati proprietary drivers that come with the installation. Everything runs very slow maximizing and minimizing take about 3-5 seconds per click and the effects get all choppy and don't look right like they did on my x1950 video card. I have tried downloading the current drivers from the ATI site but they don't seem to be initialising correctly after I perform the install.
I also know that the graphics card is not the culprit as it works perfectly fine on my Windows 7 64 bit install. There is no reason that my video card cannot handle the Visual Effects as it is a 1GB 4890 should have more than enough horsepower.
My machine is:
AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition
8 GB G. Skill 1600 DDR3 Memory
1 TB Western Digital Caviar hard drive
1 GB 4890 Graphics Card ATI.
Once enabled, how would you stop it completely, not with the wiper.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm on a Sabayon Linux install, and the Sabayon forums and stuff have NO idea what I'm talking about and keep giving me "facepalms"
So in Ubuntu I could enable desktop effects and simply use my metacity themes.
In Sabayon, when I enable Compiz, it changes my window theme manager to Emerald. I want to use metacity, not Emerald. They kept telling me it wasn't possible when I used Compiz effects and Metacity together all the time.
I have acer 5738 laptop running on ubuntu 9.10...my problem is the visual effects are not being enabled.

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust installed an ATI Radeon 9500 Pro graphics card (128 Meg). Linux just seemed to work fine with it - I didn't need to install any extra drivers or anything.
Before, when I was using onboard graphics, if I tried to choose "normal" or "extra" visual effects, it told me that I didn't have sufficient hardware. Now, since installing the card, it first said "installing drivers" then a message came up saying "do you want to keep these settings .... respond in 30 secs etc...
I chose yes to keep settings but when I close "Appearance preferences" it does not retain my settings and no visual effects are activated. If I open up Visual effects again the check box next to "none" is ticked.
I looked around and there seem to be drivers available direct from ATI but are these newer than those available already on Ubuntu 9.10? It is very confusing. It seems that I have might have to uninstall existing drivers before I can install new ones and I am reluctant to do that because - at the moment, apart from visual effects, everything works And would doing this even help anyway?
In fact has anyone succeeded in getting a Radeon 9000 series card to show visual effects in Ubuntu 9.10 or should I stop wasting time and assume that it is not up to the job? I can live without visual effects (although it would be nice)
I've just completed a successful clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (32 bit).Out of the box, Desktop effects worked flawlessly.However, after installing the Ati driver from the Hardware Drivers utility, when I try to enable Normal desktop effects (Instead of None) I get a message saying "Desktop Effects Could Not Be Enabled". The Hardware Drivers utility says "Driver is installed and currently in use"
Installing and running glxgears from a terminal gives the error: "Segmentation Fault".The hardware in question is an Ati Radeon 4xxx series (I think it's a 4800 but can't remember exactly)
Just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 and I can't enable the Extra Visual Effects. I get the error "Desktop effects could not be enabled".
View 9 Replies View Relatedhow do i enable visual effects. whenever i click to enable it says searching for available driver. then it says desktop effects can not be enabled. I am trying to enable them so i can do the cube and stuff.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI click 'Enable' on the dekstop effects. Usually, nothing will pop up at all. Sometimes, the 'Keep Settings' thing will turn on, upon seeing I click it to keep the new settings. I turn the appearance page back on, and it says there are no effects enabled. I want to enable normal effects.
I had an old version of Ubuntu for almost half a year before updating to Lucid Lynx. I recently wiped the new version of ubuntu accidentally (lucid lynx) while playing around with it, but before I wiped it I had graphics driver and effects enabled no problem. Emerald and transparency worked, etc. I did the exact same steps this time that I did on my last install of Ubuntu- and now it won't work.
I have compiz installed but it won't enable effects either. My graphics card is a Nvidia GE Force MX, i think.
When I try to enable desktop effects it follows the usual procedures but at the very end it says: Desktop effects could not be enabled. My driver is working when I run that hardware test. this is my output from "compiz" at a terminal.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Acer laptop Travelmate 290 was fine till yesterday (ie) before full update.No Error.I have the recent Ubuntu. Later When I boot I can't find my cursor but I could randomly see pop up notification of Application----Places--- System could be read.When I open any folder its fixed to top of the screen and no button for minimise,max and close.When I dig thro all the forums and solved by reinstalling metacity and change the setting of Appearance-Visual Effects to Normal.When I set to Normal it scans for the driver and asking me to confirm the setting.Once confirmed all the above problems solved but it don't reatain it,it is jump back to none. I need to do this on every boot.Is any way to avoid this? Is anyway to clean all the compiz files and setting from the PC?I vaguely remember it may be because of uninstall of compiz.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Nvidia Geforce 8400GS card installed. I just reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 on my computer, everything works but I can't enable desktop effects. I tried using the generic drivers in synaptic nothing. Tired the restricted drivers, (both of them) the system runs smoother, but still can't enable desktop effects.
I tried upgrading to 10. And after the upgrade and restart I just got a black screen. I couldn't even access the terminal So I went back to 9.10. I ran the compiz-checker script. And it spit back:
"More than one graphics chip detected -- sorry, the script can not handle that. Aborting."
Which lead me to believe the onboard card was still enabled. Unfortunately I can't disable it in bios as my bios doesn't have that option.
