[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
Bobby, to force compiz to run, you should disable the blacklist. It works on my latop, which is also Intel GM965. However, some effects (blur, rain...) don't work, and sometimes your framerates drops really low. Overall its ok though. (I simply commented the blackline in the compiz script, all the way back during gutsy) Also, the intel driver *should* be open-source and free as in freedom AFAIK. -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Max, the compositor is enabled by default. So if compiz just segfaulted or got replaced by metacity in any case, it would stay.

[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
A temporary workaround is not to put metacity into "restart" style in sessions, and instead of "compiz --replace", use "killall metacity; compiz --replace". They must be merged in 1 command because if metacity is killed, it strangely becomes impossible to type at all. -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
In theory it would, because there is no compositor to fight with compiz, but the problem is that it is turned on by default. For users who know what they are doing it won't cause much more pain than 20 mins figuring out the problem, but for less savvy users this is a potential problem. -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
