Compiz will not start!

[chrisruls00]

Compiz used to start for me, but when I updated to the latest git using the makefusion9 script, I get this message when typing compiz --replace

compiz (core) - Warn: Unable to parse XML metadata from file "core.xml"


anyone know what this means?

I ran the compiz-check script and I got this:

Gathering information about your system...

Something potential problematic has been detected with your setup:
Warning: No path to Compiz found.

Would you like to know more? (Y/n) Y

In case you did not compile Compiz manually, this will result in Compiz
failing to run. The problem is presumably a result of you installing the
proprietary fglrx driver manually or by script, which changed a certain
config file to get itself on the whitelist.

So... did you compile Compiz from source or not?


Edit: sorry, didn't read the very first line of the thread. I can't say anything about that script. You should ask the author about it.
