Compiz -> "compiz --replace" fatal error - blackscreen

Post by crisper »

Hy!

I installed compiz to use the great settings but everytime I type in my terminal "compiz --replace"
to activate my settings the whole screen gets mess up. I can't move windows anymore, the taskbar hide
itself, the background turn into black and I have to restart my system to fix it.

Even if I don't change anything in the compiz settings manager and leave the default settings it also
mess up everything. There is only two errors from the terminal if I use "compiz --replace":

Code: Select all

compiz (decor) - warn no default decoration found placement will not be correct
compiz (decor) - warn failed to bind pixmap to texture
I use Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64-bit (CN Version: 2.8.6) and have installed the following compiz packages:

Code: Select all

compiz
compiz-core
compiz-gnome
compiz-plugins
compiz-plugins-default
compiz-plugins-extra
compiz-plugins-main
compiz-plugins-main-default
compizconfig-settings-manager
libdecoration0
python-compizconfig
unity
Thanks for help in advance!

To help you get this set up and working see http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 2&t=196238 and http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=199437 I have this figured out, it is the version of compiz you are using or you don't have everything configured correctly. See my last post in these.
