CompizConfig Saves, without effect?

[houston08]

Pretty much all in the title, any changes I make in the CompizConfig Settings Manager, saves, but has no affect. Like, take this for example, the fire on the screen, I'm assigned different hot keys than Ctrl + Click1, and for removing the fire, but even though I change the hotkey for fire, I accidently press Ctrl Click1, and its there, and my hot key for removing the fire doesn't work!? This applies to the entire program though, it saves the settings, but does not use them.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

How are you launching compiz? Changes you make in 'ccsm' will only take effect if you are launching compiz with the ccp plugin. You may need to do something along the lines of:

$ compiz --replace ccp &

If that doesn't work, let us know what distribution you are using and what repository you are using for the compiz packages.

and I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 I think it is?


When I tried that command in Terminal, my screen went crazy, and everything froze, and I had to reboot.

hey houston08,
Well there are several things to try.
You can try this command..........LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp &
I would suggest installing fusion icon
sudo apt-get install git-core
then
git-clone git://anongit.opencompositing.org/users/crdlb/fusion-icon
then cd fusion-icon sudo make install.
But as adamk mentioned if you are not launching with the ccp plugin fusion will not save the settings. Fusion icon assures that fusion will load properly.
Give it a try and see if it makes a difference :)

I ran that in terminal and it slowed down a lot. FPS was probably around 1 or 2.I did the git thing you were telling me, but I don't know what it did.

[coz]

hey houston08
If you did the git install of fusion icon the command to start fusion now would be
fusion-icon
If you are using gnome as the desktop environment fusion icon should be listed under Applications/System tool. You would just click that to start fusion.

You can use my guide (http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/26/The-best-way-to-install-Compiz-Fusion-on-Ubuntu-Feisty) for installing and setting up Compiz with the packages from the first repository (if you run into any problems, please let me know in this thread (http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=3679))
