Did you have a look at this guide? It may have a few extra steps to get compiz working for you http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/168Imagus wrote: Wonderful, this worked for me too!

Thanks!

Thank you! That compiz --replace command seemed to do the trick.omns wrote:Did you have a look at this guide?

Hmm... on the ISO (LMDE xfce 64) I used, it didn't come with zip/unzip. Wow. so, extract was failing.

Figured it out ... it was /tmp partition was too small. Should have listen to my gut and not played around with any parts except /home. Now I just got the normal errors I a use to like gcc newer than kernel issue. But, need sleep...

Re: How to install nvidia driver on LMDE?
I'm running LMDE tracking stable. I tried the Gingerbread way and it said it couldn't read the file. Then I tried the hns way & also got the black screen with blinking curser at reboot. Ctrl-Alt-F1 didn't do anything. Then I booted to recovery mode but got nothing when trying to login at the prompt. This is a new install I'm setting up & have a backup, so I reinstalled and tried doing this the debian way. Problems there too though. When I run "invoke-rc.d gdm3 stop" x shuts down, but I don't get a prompt to login. Just a black screen with a flashing curser.
The LMDE I'm running, in addition to tracking stable, is 64 bit, and the card is a Radeon HD 5670. I wonder if that combo is the problem. I see some stuff alluding to this, but it's from last year. Anyone know?
