Hello, I'm running a dual boot with Windows7 and LinuxMint Debian.
I had my compiz 3d effects working fine but upon rebooting this morning, the effects are no longer happening. I checked CCSM and everything is still checked. I tried installing the fusion icon and using it to reload my window manager and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello. I did do the large first-time update. This may have caused compiz to trip up.
I reinstalled my video driver, then Alt+F2 and "compiz" and things are working again now.

compiz --replace
Re: I've Lost My Compiz Effects How do I get them back
just want to know
what's the difference between running compiz with "--replace" at the end?
in addition, once you activate compiz, how do you disable it without restarting?
thanks

1) It is replacing the one currently being used.
2) From a terminal : (for gnome)

Re: I've Lost My Compiz Effects How do I get them back
metacity and compiz are both window compositing (effect) managers. metacity is the default gnome compositing manager. the "--replace" switches the compositing manager ...bensoliman wrote:just want to know

when gnome starts it is using the metacity compositing manager by default so to start compiz you need to replace metacity
