Installing Compiz with Mate on Ubuntu 13.04
Page 1 of 1 [ 1 post ]
I'll probably get better answers on a forum dedicated to linux but I am having trouble setting up Compiz with Mate on Ubuntu 13.04. I installed a minimal install of Ubuntu 13.04 and I installed Mate without an issue. Than upon installing and launching fusion-icon, an application that manages compiz I get a segmentation fault,
Code:
* Detected Session: mate
* Searching for installed applications...
Segmentation fault
* Searching for installed applications...
Segmentation fault
Assuming thats not fixable, I tried to load compiz manually with 'compiz --replace ccp &' and that leads to a black screen that requires me to reboot. I than tried to load compiz with indirect rendering with 'compiz --indirect-rendering --replace ccp &' with the same problem. This computer has a Nvidia Geforce 5200 in it and it has the proper driver loaded as glxinfo displays this,
Code:
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig,
GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control,
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_NV_float_buffer
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig,
GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control,
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_NV_float_buffer
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
Is this fixable at all? I love the traditional gnome2 desktop and would love to have compiz with it to bring back memories of the good old pre-gnome3 days
