Ultimate Edition Forum

Been at it for nearly eight hours. Done everything I could think of not to mention trashing and reinstalling as a result of the ATI driver install. Ain't no way compiz is going to work in this installation which is odd because I got 3.8 on two other machines and compiz works fine.

Thank you Pam, and people, for the benefit of your collective wisdom unfortunately it was not meant to be. Not on this machine anyway.

I guess I'll just reserve the disk space for 3.9 which ought to be here soon..

You're welcome Acaster.

Let me rephrase that.

I had the idea of uninstalling and reinstalling compiz via synaptic and it Worked ! I can get the compiz setting manager up at last but somehow I lost my window borders in the process and the fusion icon is still giving a segmentation fault so I can use that to refresh and compiz --replace in a terminal doesn't work.

What did I do wrong?

As i see it, it will require more work from TheeMahn's side. The new ubuntu's fundamentally have a very different implementation of compiz versus the old ones Ultimate Edition 2.6(ubuntu 10.04). To further the woes hardware(opengl stuff), X.org and kernels have changed a lot.
Unless someone actually tests and makes compiz work with newer opengl(Xorg and wayland) on newer hardware it will just be like installing an archaic program on a new OS.

The last stable build was 0.8.8 http://releases.compiz.org/0.8.8/

No way around it.
