I don't believe that is the case, as all the nvidia debs are indeed installed. However, I reinstalled all of the nvidia debs and the problem persists. Furthermore

I have thus reverted the status to new. Will try to install the current nightly build later today to see if a fresh install alleviates the problem. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- compiz won't start with nvidia 9100 - lacks Xgl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
