Title:
Switching to proprietary nvidia driver prevents compiz from starting
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
After enabling proprietary driver nvidia 361.42 in unity-control-
center and rebooting, compiz fails to start. I'm able to login. I
see my wallpaper and desktop icons, but there's no window manager or
panel.
A manual fix that worked in the past was
right-click, open terminal
enter commands:
dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
setsid unity
