Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
As I log in on the ubuntu desktop on my machine, it is in fact gnome-panel that is displayed and metacity window manager that is running. I tried to modify the settings through the compizsettings manager but I couldn't get it working. Trying to enable compiz through the terminal returned that: Backend : gconf Integration : true Profile : default Adding plugins Initializing core options...done Initializing bailer options...done Initializing detection options...done Initializing composite options...done compiz (opengl) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing compiz (opengl) - Fatal: Software rendering detected compiz (bailer) - Info: Ensuring a shell for your session francois@francois-System-Product-Name:~$ Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running. There seems to be a problem with opengl though I have no idea what caused it as I never tried to tweak opengl settings (other than with compiz-settings)... (PS: the apport-gtk believed that I was running unity (which must be true) but what I really see is gnome-panel) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: compiz 1:0.9.4-0ubuntu7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-7.36-generic 2.6.38 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-7-generic i686 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,mousepoll,vpswitch,regex,animation,snap,expo,move,compiztoolbox,place,gnomecompat,wall,ezoom,workarounds,staticswitcher,resize,fade,scale,session,unityshell] CompositorRunning: None DRM.card0.VGA.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: On modes: edid-base64: Date: Sat Mar 19 18:24:25 2011 DistUpgraded: Log time: 2010-12-25 22:25:44.741451 DistroCodename: natty DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: ATI Technologies Inc RV530LE [Radeon X1600] [1002:71ce] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: PC Partner Limited Device [174b:0850] Subsystem: PC Partner Limited Device [174b:0851] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha i386 (20101202) InstallationMedia_: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha i386 (20101202) MachineType: System manufacturer System Product Name ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-7-generic root=UUID=df25858b-0c16-4a25-9580-53d28970d85a ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature_: Ubuntu 2.6.38-7.36-generic 2.6.38 Renderer: Unknown SourcePackage: compiz UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-03-18 (1 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 02/17/2005 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 080009 dmi.board.name: P4P800SE dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. dmi.board.version: Rev 2.xx dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr080009:bd02/17/2005:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKComputerInc.:rnP4P800SE:rvrRev2.xx:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.4-0ubuntu7 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.23-1ubuntu3 version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10.1-0ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg: xserver-xorg 1:7.6~3ubuntu11 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati N/A version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu4 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110107+b795ca6e-0ubuntu6 ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 natty ubuntu unity-2d -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/738326 Title: compiz fails to initiate -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
