Compiz Help

[redfox1160]

I typed compiz into the terminal and changed some settings. Now, I wanted to change them back; but when I type it in, nothing happens. Can someone help? Thanks.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly.

Run gconf-editor and navigate to /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Remove the value.

Set it to "Disabled" or leave it blank.

[redfox1160]
