Thread: Upgrade 12.10 Compiz All Messed Up.

if please me figure out.

running customized 12.04.

(no unity)
(compiz cube)
(cairo dock)

upgraded 12.10, , things pretty messed up.

cannot enable compiz.

code:

chris@chris-et2410:~$ compiz compiz (core) - info: loading plugin: core compiz (core) - info: starting plugin: core compiz (core) - error: screen 0 on display ":0" has window manager; try using --replace option replace current window manager. compiz (core) - info: stopping plugin: core compiz (core) - info: unloading plugin: core chris@chris-et2410:~$ compiz -- replace compiz (core) - warn: unknown option '--'  compiz (core) - info: loading plugin: core compiz (core) - info: starting plugin: core compiz (core) - error: screen 0 on display ":0" has window manager; try using --replace option replace current window manager. compiz (core) - info: stopping plugin: core compiz (core) - info: unloading plugin: core

i tried this, , terminal seemed hang.

code:

$ compiz --replace ccp & emerald --replace & [1] 3192 [2] 3193 chris@chris-et2410:~$ compiz (core) - info: loading plugin: core compiz (core) - info: starting plugin: core emerald: command not found compiz (core) - info: loading plugin: ccp compiz (core) - info: starting plugin: ccp compizconfig - info: backend     : gsettings compizconfig - info: integration : true compizconfig - info: profile     : unity

also, un-installed cairo-dock, try unity.
(figured start scratch)

despite fact removed cairo, still there?

not sure make of of this.
