Starting Compiz at startup in Linux Mint

[Anubisone]

Hi,

currently I have Linux Mint 12 with cairo and unfortunately every time I need to start Compiz by using console. I was trying to find some menu in Menu with startup session but there is nothing there.

I just want to start

Code: Select all

compiz --replace

automatically.

Tried also to read and use this idea:
http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.ph ... up#p653290
without success, cause there is no mateconf-editor in Linux Mint 12.

Where can I get it done and how guys? I'm stuck in a bottle. Please help.

Just install the "fusion-icon" package. You will be able to set the parameters you want by clicking on this panel icon.

I installed it with compiz alltogether, but where is that icon. Inside compiz manager. The only thing I see is CompizSwitch from Cairo, but without any options.

I never used cairo-dock. This icon should be started once from your apps menu and then it will appear in XFCE/Gnome 2.x notification area. After this initial config, the icon will be automatically launched at session start and immediately switch your desktop to compiz.

Unfortunately I think the icon wont show because in my menu there is no Preference option with sublist. Only System Tools if U know what I mean. It is like that after compiz--replace. Not mention the list of errors I get from console xD

But effects are working ];>

Currently I managed to install the icon. She appears in the top right corner of KDE menu. Now will try to reset my OS after reloading the manager, that is Compiz in the menu of the icon.

Hope it starts automatically now .)
