compiz issues 17.1 Mate

Post by B00GAL00 »

I am fairly new to linux, so forgive me in advance for not having a grip on all of the lingo. I have tried and run various distros on several different machines just to try and start to wrap my head around the different offerings. I am pretty happy with mint and would like to make it work. That being said, I really enjoy the eye candy that compiz allows, but I am having some issues that I can't seem to find the answers for.

When I have compiz active, it all works just fine, however, I am required to do a : "mate-panel --reset" in order to access the panel after any reboot.
Prior to the reset command, the panel is completely locked. The super key works, and alt-f1 gets me a menu, but the panel is locked solid.

Once I do the reset, the panel works fine and compiz works fine, however, I do notice that I get a LOT of "aw snap" crashes in Chromium and can generally "fix" or stop those crashes by rebooting and starting over. Rinse and repeat basically.

Any help would be genuinely appreciated. Thanks in advance..
