Hi i've recently installed ubuntu on my desktop to further my programming and coding skills
a bit.
However i wanted to test all those crazy effects people are doing with their Ubuntu and i somehow tweaked the Compiz settings so much so that all the effects on Ubuntu Classic
are disabled.
For example when i m changing workspaces it doesn't change smoothly but it simple goes on like nothing happened. Also when i am moving windows on the edges of the screens it doesn't show that orange effect and the window just doesn't adapt on any edge.
Well it doesn't end here but i wanted to give you an example of what's going on.
Is there any way i can reset the compiz settings so that classic ubuntu will be like it was after I installed it?

Try and follow this guide http://shallows.bounceme.net/tiki-index.php?page=Reset+Desktop+to+Default&structure=Ubuntu+Help&page_ref_id=17 it as worked for me on many occasions.

You could first try:


alt + f2
unity --reset

Hope this helps...
