Compiz in 12.04 Precise Gnome Classic

[samitharansara]

Compiz is very unstable, does the same for me and has done ever since I started using ubuntu. It's not smart to mess with compiz a lot, unless you want a broken system

Exactly

Hehehe, k, duly noted

Sometimes it works fine, other times it crashes as soon as you click on something. Once it is actually running with various settings it seems stable enough, but getting there can be a pain.

[ibozzie]

Yeah it's working great for me. The only issue I've noticed since I got it up and running is that now when I click a launcher on my toolbar, the icon expands normally and then turns into a black box just before it disappears and launches the program. Any clues as to what I should tweak to fix this? Like is there a file that manages that sort of thing?

just popping up here. does it mean that we can run compiz on gnome classic?

[ibozzie]

Absolutely! All you need to do is make sure you have compiz and the compiz settings manager installed, which I believe you can do from the software center.

Been working great for me since the last update, Very stable indeed;

[inashdeen]

Great! will try in this near future then. but, doesn't gnome classic run on mutter?

Hi All,

How can I delete all my compiz settings, or rather "restore" all the compiz settings to the default fresh install versions?

Thanks,
CH

Run in command line:

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
