http://askubuntu.com – I just made a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 and after installing drivers etc I installed Compiz configuration settings manager. But when I run compiz there are no options to enable any 3d effect like 3d cube. I had no problem in Ubuntu 12.04. When running support_test -p it says "yes" to everything. What should I do? Not software rendered: yes Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: yes GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program: yes GL fragment program: yes GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object: yes GL versi (HowTos)

My laptop, a Toshiba Qosmio G30, has a nVidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card and it's suppose to support 3D . I am running unity 2d now . The graphic driver is --VESA: G73 Board - toshg73m-- by Ubuntu.

After upgrading my laptop to 12.10 the AMOR animations are messed up. I use the Neko character.

The dash home button brings up a panel that is greyed out, but it is totally empty.

It seems to be the very same issue as this: Dash home button brings up blank window which is unanswered.

/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p returns

I am not receiving the Unity 3D option when logging into Ubuntu 11.10. The only options I have are GNOME, GNOME Classic, GNOME Classic (No effects), Ubuntu, and Ubuntu 2D. I ran the test /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p.

No GLX Dell XPS 15 GT525M 1 year 20 weeks ago

I have a Dell XPS 15 with the GT525M (Optimus) videocard. With a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 installation (enabling the additional nvidia drivers) GLX doesn't work.

The Mesa drivers work as you can see here from a live CD boot.

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu, and had customized some keyboard shortcuts before installing compiz settings manager. I enabled the cube setting, and followed the directions as per here: http://www.noobslab.com/2011/10/enable-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu.html

However, I come to find that I can't use my keyboard shortcuts to navigate with it for some reason.
