Skip Compiz Checks in Lucid Lynx

[glenn69]

This worked for me also. Any word on a permanent fix to this?

[sk4tec]

having this exact issue but when trying to find the "8086:2562" string in the compiz "exe" nothing comes back so I can't change it.

On another note if the system is running slow (its only 2.4 Ghz Celeron with 1.25 GB RAM and this 'new' gfx Fx5200 card) is compiz going to slow it down further??

The equivalent of this fix for 11.04 is as follows:

Start gedit using sudo by opening Terminal and executing "sudo gedit" and then typing your password.

Then in gedit, open "/etc/environment".

At the end of the file add "UNITY_FORCE_START=1" on its own line.

Then save the file and reboot your computer and make sure "Ubuntu" is selected in GDM as the desktop environment when you log back in.
