Hi,

During the week I did a update through the update manager and since then my video has been broken.

I usually just quickly glance through the list of packages to be updated before pressing...

I have a 1TB backup USB drive attached to my system. Every night it does an rsync of all the home folders on the system to that drive. However, all users seem to be able to view the drive and it's...

Believe it or not. I just had the exact same issue happening all over again. I just did a fresh install of 9.04 (after it crashed during an upgrade from 8.10). Last time I didn't post the answer here...

Awesome! That was the setting I was looking for. I believe I've gone through about every single compiz setting except of course the ones on the 'general' tab... :)

Cheers!

Happy holidays!

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately that variable is set to 4. Changing it doesn't make a difference.

Any other ideas?

Hi.

I've enabled Compiz with Emerald window decorator (seems the only combo that works). But when enabled I only see 2 workspaces available. When I right click and open the preferences for the...

Hi. Sorry to bother you with this but when I select Metacity as my window decorator my visual effects are also reset back to normal mode. I only seem to be able to use visual effects when selecting...

Hi. Thanks for your help!

Unfortunalty I do not have an option "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" I figured you meant the "CompizConfig Settings Manager". When I go in there and select the option...

Hi guys,

So I installed Compiz and with it came this thing called Emerald which seems to be some sort of theme manager. It wouldn't be so bad if this Emerald wouldn't shuff some pretty nasty...

Hi all,

I currently have an old ATI video card that is giving me grief (I think it's because of the drivers). I heard good stuff about NVidia boards and the drivers that come with it.

Hi guys,

Hi. Thanks for that. I think I run metacity but I'm not sure. Is there a way to find out?
