A while ago after disabling compiz to do some troubleshoot on some applications, I got some trouble trying to enabling it again, I was constantly getting the following message:
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Could not acquire compositing manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0"
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
after some googling I came to this solution:
- run in the terminal
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager false
- logout/in and we're ready to re-enable the wonderful desktop effects!
