After an update with 218 packages showed up in the tray, I went like oh well what the hell and installed all of them. Big mistake.
It looks like xorg updates break nvidia configs, so now compiz isn't working. I looked on Google and UbuntuForums and found a few old threads that told me to redo a few broken links (ln extensions/nvidia-glx.180.29 or something to main folder) in some folder, I did that and it still doesn't work.
The output it gives me goes like this.
Checking for Xgl: not present.
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Detected PCI ID for VGA:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/kwin
