I'm having the same problem. I'm running Karmic Alpha 3 on a Vaio T-130. The effects worked fine after install. In the "Appearance" I deactivated the effects and now can't activate them anymore, at least not through the "Appearance" dialog.
Like Asif and Jeremy I can get the effects back running compiz --replace but after a shutdown/reboot effects don't work again. I added compiz --replace to the startup programs as a workaround. -- Desktop effects could not be enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390027 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
