Ubuntu – How to fix what CCSM does to Unity 3D

compizunityunity-2d

I installed CCSM a little while back. Then I enabled "blur windows" and the desktop got all messed up, Unity 2D still works fine.

I have tried every fix I've found here on Askubuntu but still can't get Unity 3D to work normally. Is there something I'm missing?

I activated "blur windows", by now I already uninstalled it, wiped all config files to it I was able to find and tried unity --reset , unity --replace and gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 no success.

Remove .compiz and .gconf/apps/compiz folder from your home directory. Press CTRL+H to see hidden files. logout and login again.
or
If you have CCSM, go to the preference window by clicking the button in the left-bottom. In the profile page, Click on the Reset to defaults. Logout and Login again.

How to Enable Compliz on Ubuntu 11.10 I have actually followed this and it works on my setup. If you do decide to follow this guide, you should create a ccsm shortcut on your desktop for use when you log back in. I also had to hit Ctrl + Alt + F1, and log in and restart lightdm by issuing the following:

sudo service lightdm restart

It came to a standard login box, once logged in I was unable to use Alt + F2 to try and run ccsm. Luckily, I did have a launcher for a different application. I just created a copy of the launcher and changed the path to "ccsm" and was able to launch ccsm that way.
