    Can't uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx
    I'm trying to uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx.

    However, when using either the Synaptic GUI or with aptitude on the command line, I get an error message:

    Oh hey look.

    Manually deleting the /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager.ubuntu fixes it, although it probably erased my settings. Oh well.
    so I just deleted /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager.ubuntu, then

    sudo aptitude remove compiz

    which removed ubuntu-desktop which panicked me for a second, then once that was done, I

    sudo aptitude install compiz gnome-desktop

    and all was well again.
