I recently installed 12.04.1 and immediately upgraded to Quantal. I see both keys mentioned in comment #27, /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins and also /apps/compizconfig-1/profiles/Default/general/screen0/options (without unityshell listed)
Just a few days ago I found this bug report and changed it in /apps/compiz-1/..., which worked and continues to work so far. I'm not sure if at that time I also saw the /apps/compizconfig-1/... already, but I doubt it. Maybe something changed during the past few days? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986208 Title: Compiz does not remember user preferences upon system restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/986208/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
