I confirm this bug, and it's present in intrepid. If I running metacity and execute this : gconftool-2 --type bool --set "/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager" "true"
Ok, I'am running metacity with compositing, but If I try : System->Preferences->Appearance->Effects Tab and Try to activate any (Normal|Extra|Custom) Effect, the Ubuntu says that if not possible to actvate effects. Then I run this : gconftool-2 --type bool --set "/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager" "false" Now, I can go System->Preferences->Appearance->Effects Tab and runs any (Normal|Extra|Custom) Effect without errors message. -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
