Hello everyone,

Here is my story: I've been running compiz with no problem for quite a long time, even though my sources.list contained some weird stuff. At that time, running apt-get update would tell me that some of my sources couldn't get accessed to and that older file would be used. I checked it out and I found lots of sources refering to Feisty. here how it looked like:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Netbook 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)]/ maverick main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.

It probably wasn't good but at least compiz was working... now I have erased all the reference to feisty, update is working better, for sure, but Compiz is crashing when I run compiz --replace.

I'd like to know if there's one or more sources from above that I should have kept that would allow me to use a previous version of compiz or something like that to make it work like before.

Thanks for your help!
