Compiz Fusion conflict

[coolmego]

I have successfully downloaded the package and enabled the 3D cube and wobbly window but they aint working so what should i do..!!

[toupeiro]

sometimes, compiz can crash when turning off and on certain features.

Please open a terminal window (Applications -> Accessories ->Terminal) and type:

ps -ef | grep compiz

You should see at least one line like the one below, although the numbers may be different, it should say /usr/bin/compiz

toupeiro@mobius:~$ ps -ef | grep compiz
toupeiro  1862  1782  0 10:45 ?        00:00:22 /usr/bin/compiz
toupeiro  2978  2956  0 11:42 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto compiz
toupeiro@mobius:~$

If you don't see this line there in any way/shape/form, please type the following command in that same terminal window to restart compiz manually:

compiz --replace &

To manually control compiz from the GUI, I recommend installing Compiz Fusion Icon from the software center. You can perform restarts of compiz without needing to access the terminal if you are uncomfortable doing so.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
