I ahve always had ubuntu and compiz on my laptop (dell xps 1530)
I reinstalled ubuntu with the newest version (karmic)
I could not, for the life of me, get compiz to auto start. in an effert to fix this i purged and removed compiz. But now, after installing (and reinstalling) i cannot get compiz to work at all. it installs. it doesn't make any menu icons. When enabling visual effects through appearances menu, it says that it cannot be enabled.
$ compiz -fusion

xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Trying again with indirect rendering:

aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity

$ compiz --replace
