I've Lost My Compiz Effects How do I get them back

nbob · 11-14-2010, 12:01 PM

Hello, I'm running a dual boot with Windows7 and LinuxMint Debian.

I had my compiz 3d effects working fine but upon rebooting this morning, the effects are no longer happening. I checked CCSM and everything is still checked. I tried installing the fusion icon and using it to reload my window manager and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I ran into this same problem: Upon upgrading my packages in my Ubuntu 11.04 (no, not a typo; I upgraded at an early stage from 10.10) installation, I found out that the 'compiz-fusion-plugins-extra' package was removed for dependencies -- because the package version did not match. Try posting the output of:

Code:

sudo apt-get install compiz-core compiz-fusion-plugins-extra

If you get errors, chances are you just ran into this problem.

Hello. I did do the large first-time update. This may have caused compiz to trip up.

I reinstalled my video driver, then Alt+F2 and "compiz" and things are working again now.
