I figured out how to get into Desktop Effects. When sudo comes up, hit the OK button and use the wrong password 3 times. I figured this out after I made a new user (where Compiz also defaulted to Enabled), and then went to desktop effects. It said that I didn't have Sudo access, but then brought me to the desktop effects window (the same one from Feisty).
This restriction seems like a really stupid idea, especially since you can get around it anyway. Not only is it enabled by default, but it seems to allow you 40 seconds to test Compiz, so there doesn't seem to be any good reason not to let you modify settings all the time. Also, the other thing that seems buggy is when I hit "cancel" from sudo it says "Please run "desktop effects" again after restarting the computer, when the new graphics driver is active."... that makes no since, but considering I hadn't restarted since running nvidia- installer, I figured that I would give that a try, but Desktop Effects still doesn't run except with the weird wrong password workaround I described. -- Can't disable Desktop Effects after dist-upgrade to gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153497 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
