[Closed]Compiz broke?

Post by minty1 »

Just went back Xfce window manager.




Today I went to change to another desktop and the usual ctrl+mouse would not spin the cube to another desktop. I switched to Xfwm and back to Compiz and still no go. I removed the ~/.config/compiz-1 and still not working. Also the Window Manager and Window Manager Tweaks links on the menu are not working. What happened?

I've got the same problem. Upgraded to 17.1 today and tried out the fancy new window manager compiz. Yeah looks cool, switched back to xfwm. I am left with one desktop (it won't let me create another one) and the top line and min/max/close buttons of dialogues are gone. Did I mention Alt-Tab and Alt+F4 is not working, too? Very ...... annoying.

Fixed for me I guess.
I was looking for some XFWM specific settings - tried out

Code: Select all

xfwm4 --replace
It seems to restart the window manager with the old settings. Everything seems to work as before I tried out compiz. Relogged and still worked.

I'll give that a try. Thanks

EDIT: No joy :x

Sorry - works fine for me. Was happy it did, because I am pretty new to Linux.
Hope someone with more knowledge helps you out.

OK, now I am really comfused. I was moving a window and when I got close to the edge of the screen it rotated to another desktop. Yet I cannot use ctrl-mouse to move to other desktops as I did before. Still the Window Manager and Window Manager Tweaks apps will not launch. Was there a bad update or something? Did I do something?

Ok - all I can say is that I did use Compiz on Kubuntu and quite successfully but when I tried it with LMMate (17.1) things kinda got screwed up. I do not use it now and wish it was an optional extra rather than included by default.

All the best.
