Compiz Config Help

[sargeant dread]

I installed compiz config on ubuntu but the only way the effects works is if i start the program up again. how do i get the effects to work on startup?

enable visual effects in control panels?

I also used to have more effects like burn but they don't seem to be there anymore, i don't know what I changed to have this happen

Nope thats completely different

did you do a restart on the x-server? i did the same thing and it disabled some effects all i did was click on "extra effects" and i got the effects back.

I had this problem a number of times as well, all i can suggest is:

turn visual effects to medium selection, and then go through compiz and edit all your selection and preferences.

try this ^^, because that worked for me, i seemed to have problems:

a: when viewing the visual effect window compiz would reset some or all values.

b: when changing compiz values some or all values would reset.

c: when visual effects were set to best -> last option.

doing it all in one go, leaving visual effects on medium, then leaving it at that and never viewing compiz menu or visual effects again worked for me :P

i'm guessing it has something to do with gfx incompatibilities.

Where is the extra effects option? I don't see one in compiz
