I have a problem, after installing Compiz from git (using this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=643485) guide). Now when I boot, after going past gdm, loading the sound, and desktop search, startup stops for about 3-4 minutes. During this time, there is no resource usage, the CPU is idling at 0-4% and I have no window borders if I load a window. After 3-4 minutes, though, network monitor, fusion icon, and my other bootup programs load almost instantly. I've tried looking in the system log, but when I look, I just see 3-4 minutes of blank space. This makes no sense to me, does anyone know what caused it/how I might fix it?

i think you have a problem with open gl, Try reinstalling the compiz (ccsm) utility or try reinstalling you drivers. Hope this helps, i kind of had the same problem and this helped me.

you see, that doesn't work, I've tried it, and I've also had this problem on a clean install. It seems to be a problem with something the guide does... I just don't know what exactly.

Maybe CF hates you, because when I used my guide on my comp I do not experience these dramatic slow downs...
If you think it has to do with the guide maybe look at the makefusion script...

What are your system specs?

I'm using an HP laptop

250 GB HDD
GeForce 7150M
Turion 64 X2-58
2GB RAM
15.4" LCD screen

EDIT:
BTW, Espreon, I don't think it necessarily has to do with anything you did wrong. I think compiz fusion might actually hate me, but I still want to get it to work.

Ok, completely different hardware, I guess it doesn't have anything to do with my hardware. Well, it could, but doesn't look like it at the moment.

EDIT:

Uninstalled it and then upgraded to hardy, problem solved xD
