OK
I think I understand What're you talking about


I referred to it at the beginning of the message
And now I see in the picture the name of the driver is nouveau
Here's the screenshot again


You wrote

I have found the linux gfx driver is fine unless gaming.
The gpu temperature regulation may be better with nvidia drivers.
Test for yourself...can always revert.

And I wrote

If this is so, I will leave the current
Because it works well
No need to fix what is not broken

That screenshot is telling you the proprietary driver, 331.38, is NOT in use even thou it is selected in the top part of the image. This is supported by your post #15:

OpenGL vendor string: nouveau

You have something wrong with your system and I'm not smart enough to show you how to fix it.

Another attempt

I think the problem is in open gl
That's a guess



Is there anyone else that might come across the same symptoms

EDIT Oops already ran this. Ignore.

Run the unity support test....

/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p

eg mine

glen@Trusty:~$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
OpenGL vendor string:   NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string:  4.4.0 NVIDIA 331.38

Not software rendered:    yes
Not blacklisted:          yes
GLX fbconfig:             yes
GLX texture from pixmap:  yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program:        yes
GL fragment program:      yes
GL vertex buffer object:  yes
GL framebuffer object:    yes
GL version is 1.4+:       yes

Unity 3D supported:       yes

What puzzles me is why you have no 3d effects with compiz when your unity support test checks ok.
Compiz should be ok with the the nvidia or nouveau driver.

The fact that the nvidia driver is selected in the drivers tab but the nouveau driver is loading on boot shouldn't matter.
Just means the nvidia driver is failing to load for some reason and reverts to the nouveau driver.

I have some effects
Almost everything except the cube

[grumblebum2]

If you want, try and load my saved ccsm.profile .
I started with the default profile and just enabled the cube as I described earlier.

Before you do this, open a terminal just in case you need to reload unity.
Save the attached archive.
Extract the archive to reveal the ccsm.profile file.

Open ccsm and hit "preferences" > import
and navigate to the extracted ccsm.profile file.
After importing, let it run for at least 30secs before you click on anything.

If unity fails to reload properly (eg no decorations), run

setsid unity

in the terminal.
Now test to see if you have the cube.

If unity is still buggered up, run...

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ && setsid unity

Disable the unity plugin if you just want cairo-dock.

Dude

You are a genius

It worked
Not only that
With it I found the problem

The problem is 3d windows Effect
Once marking V No Cube
Remove V the cube returns


Wonder why it makes a problem


in the Icon of the General options
The value registered screen resolution is 640 x 480

My resolution is 1152 x 864

is it ok ?

[grumblebum2]

The 3d windows plugin has been known not to work for a while now but should have been disabled when I
first gave you the compiz reset command back in post #12.

Canonical only concentrates on the plugins it uses in unity.
The extra plugins you install aren't officially supported and from time to time
some just fail to work properly as compiz develops.

Mines the same. Just leave as is.

Long process but we got there.

Once you have compiz how you like, use
ccsm > preferences
to export your compizconfig profile so you can easily import your saved profile
if you mess compiz up.

i will do it
and save the file on e mail

Thank you for helping
