Loss of compiz-fusion effects
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2011 6:12 am
I've recently installed a new computer with Mint 10 main edition (the best Mint OS to date IMHO) and it's been working fine for a few days except I've noticed that the compiz-fusion effects I activated (desktop cube and wobbly windows) have stopped working - for no apparent reason. They are still checked in the Simple CompizConfig Setting Manager.
I boot up on the Mint 10 live CD and can activate the compiz-fusion effects with no problem. So it's not a hardware issue. It must have something to do with changes made when updating the system.
The graphic card is inbuilt to the motherboard (ASUS P5G41T-M LX2GBGBSI ASUSTeK Computer Inc.) and there are no special drivers needed to be installed.
Other specs:
Processor
* Intel Pentium Dual Core E5800 Processor 3.2Ghz
* 2MB Cache
Memory
* 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz
Hard Drive
* 1TB (1x1TB) SATA II
I have installed the 32 bit version Mint 10 Main Edition (despite the processor being 64 bit compatible) because I have never noticed any difference in performance between 32 and 64 bit editions and believe the older 32 bit version to be less buggy.
I assume there are other folks out there who have had similar problems - and hoping someone can pinpoint the problem and figure out an easy solution
