Edge-Flipping Stopped Working

[Norri]

I've Googled a bit and couldn't find a workable solution so I'm hoping someone here has experienced this and has a solution.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04 and then also upgraded from onboard GFX to a Geforce GS8400 (or something). Next I configured Compiz to enable the Desktop Wall and configured edge-flipping to work using the bottom-left and bottom-right corners of my screen.

And it worked - beautifully! Until it didn't.

I restarted and it stopped working. I've disabled it, re-enabled it, fiddled with settings, tried to get edge-flipping working with the Cube instead, no go It seems like Compiz is just not recognising those parts of my display as hot spots. What gives?

It seems that a few people are have that problem, when it comes to the desktop wall, though when they use it with the desktop cube, then edge flipping works.

 

[Norri]

Yep, I tried that though and it didn't do anything :/

This is a bit old, but hey, there's nothing else out there...

I had the same problem with all the "Edge Flip" settings being turned on and nothing happening. Do you have the "Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager" installed as well? Because I did and my edges wouldn't do anything until I used it to configure the edges to flip left and flip right under the "Edges" tab. Maybe it's some kind of conflict between using both the Simple manager and the full manager, I don't know.

But if you don't have the simple manager installed and want to try it out to see if it solves your problem, the package name is "simple-ccsm".

Thanks but she no go :/ I'm guessing my config file got snarfu'd somewhere along the while. Next step: try a clean config file and see if it works. It should, I reckon, because this *was* working and I don't recall running any compiz updates between then and no however I installed UbuntuTweak which could have screwed it up.

 

[SlickNick]

I think Ubuntu Tweak has some options for compiz. So double check that. But yeah, too many apps that try to modify the same thing is always bad news. I rate it's time to purge the configs.

Booya! Trashed ~/.config/compiz and ~/.config/compiz-config and it's working Awesomeness \m/,
