Ok, so I've got Compiz fusion installed on my Kubuntu 7.10 box. It
seems to be there, well, I have the control panel bit and I've set it
for rotating cube... so why doesn't it work I wonder?
Any ideas? I have restarted the x-server (logged out and did it
rather than pressing the F key because I forgot which one it was). I
do have 3d rendering enabled as I get the Nvidia splash screen come on
just after rebooting the x-server. Do I need to do a complete system
reboot though? Are there kernel bits that need to start?
I'm all ears folks :-)

What's not working?
Are you using fusion-icon? (Although I think that is depreciated now)
It worked fine on Linux Mint (Just deleted that and installed F8)

Not sure if there are any Kubuntu specifics does their Wiki give any hints?
I'm all ears folks :-)
We know that but lets sort your compiz problem out 1st :-P

Erm...anything.... The desktop is exactly the same as before. Is
there some arcane ritual to get the 3d magic working? I assumed that
I just needed to go into the Compiz fusion control panel and click the
buttons? I did that but nothing... :-(

I haven't seen one so I assume it's not installed now.

Ah, never got Fedora working on any PC :-( shame, I'd love to try it.

I've not even had chance to look on there. I don't tend to hold much
faith in Wikis being as anybody can add what they like...whether it
works or not.

Oh I hope so :-)
Sorry, I can't really say anymore than I have. I really don't know if
I should press a certain button somewhere or not.

That takes me to the Compiz control panel that I've been to before :-)
I have various bits ticked (or crossed as the case may be). It's as
though it needs a simple on/off switch engaging....

In the run dialogue try
compiz --replace

Anyway.. to bring this up to date... I've now done a reboot (weird
doing that with this PC as I just normally leave it on
24/7/4/52...well, for a few weeks anyway). Do I have compiz effects
yet? What do you think? Nope!!! If nobody has any other ideas of
what to try do I have permission to try another LUG to see if I have
any luck there? I don't want to start cross posting without
permission :-/

Hang on for Kris, he's back now from sliding down a mountain on two
planks. He's the Ubuntu trick effects wizard. No good asking me as I
looked at wobbly windows for two minutes then uninstalled the whole
lot. Waste of drive space.

Thank you good sir :-) I'll give it a go tomorrow because the
workshop is now locked up for the night... I did briefly look at that
URL and it seems that I'm not the only one...thankfully.
