Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021. I'm setting the status of this bug to 'Incomplete' as it's not seen any activity for some time. If this is still an issue when using a currently maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know which one(s) otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1590457 Title: Switching to proprietary nvidia driver prevents compiz from starting Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After enabling proprietary driver nvidia 361.42 in unity-control- center and rebooting, compiz fails to start. I'm able to login. I see my wallpaper and desktop icons, but there's no window manager or panel.
