Summary:
a fresh install of 12.04 was worth the hassle. I like it.
How is Compiz fairing on 12.04?
Sadly on Fedora17 - what I'm using now - it has been orphaned.
But I see it included in precise:universe:updates
http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/universe/updates/compiz
and there is some activity on launchpad.net
https://launchpad.net/compiz
Did you try it? How buggy is it?
Adrian
After the upgrade to 11.10 (from 11.04 to 11.10) the skype icon in the
top panel was near useless. It did not display a
red circle to indicate I had missed an incoming call. which meant I had
to periodically check the skype window for activity.
The box was then upgraded to 12.04 - and I was hoping that skype would
"come right". It didn't. After the fresh install of
12.04, the skype status icon in the top bar behaves correctly.
After the upgrade to 12.04, where the box went from 11.10 to 12.04, the
window experience was horrible. The vertical
bar on the left did not display correctly - it would sometimes "hide
itself", but leave a solid thick white bar behind. The
white bar was the same width as before the hide event. The area where
the bar on the left was - could not be used.
This pushed me over the edge, and I did the fresh install. Post fresh
install, I have seen nothing untoward. All window
behaviour appears normal...
I note from wikipedia that compiz fusion is the default in Ubuntu, and
I did stick with the default - much easier that
way - so yes - I am using compiz.
I hope this answers your question..
Cheers,
Derek.
