AWN Quit working, so did...
Let's see. Last night, all was well with my computer.
This morning, I get a "Screen is not composited" error at the gui, AWN won't load, I can't TAB between open windows,
Also am now suddenly getting a "Desktop effects could not be enabled" error if I try to turn them on (which is odd because I have never turned them off)
As I said, yesterday, and for as long as I've had this lappy, everything worked perfectly, and I didn't change anything on it yesterday, just powered it down as normal and let it lay, same as always.
This is very frustrating.
I found "compiz-check" in the sticky at this site, compiz-check says
