Menu's no longer Have Minimize, Maximize or Close option

[DanTheBib]

I have realised in Ubuntu applications/menu's etc, I don't have the ^ v X selection...

How do I solve this :S I've restarted the pc, to no avail..

Bump...

I'm not sure what you mean :/ Could you take a screenshot for me?

See, in the top right of the front window where the minimize etc should be, there is nothing...

Ah, I see. This implies to me that you're using emerald to draw your windows. Is this true?

Regardless, open a terminal(Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and run
metacity --replace & If that doesn't work, try
emerald --replace &

Okay, I tried that and have reinstalled Emerald. How do I un-install Emerald and not have this problem again?

Run


sudo apt-get remove emerald

Alternatively you can install "fusion-icon". It will sit in the system tray and will allow you to quickly switch between windows managers and decorators, and reload one if you are getting problems.



sudo apt-get install fusion-icon

Thanks guys. Uninstalling Emerald presented the same problem, so have installed Compiz Fusion.

Thanks again :)
