My story is this:

I have a laptop toshiba satellite A665-SP6004, Intel Core i7 inside, Nvidia GeForce GT 330M graphics.

I recently switch to ubuntu 11.10 and I have experienced some problems, one of them is Compiz:

  • Suddenly, compiz is turned off and since unity is a compiz plugin, this makes it drop out of the interface. This also happens every time I make a modification of anything, for example configure the AWN, which is very annoying.

Another problem I had is:

  • to turn off the pc is locked. After clicking on shut down, the top panel turns purple and the rest of the black screen freezes, then I have to force it off, which is very risky.

  • The keypad light. Works perfectly in Windows but still does not work in ubuntu ...

If someone can tell me how to solve at least the problem I have with compiz that will be very helpful.

Thank you.

On your desktop, make a file (it doesn't matter what it's called). Open it, and type this:

compiz --replace

close and save it. Make it executable. While you are changing the settings, make sure it's visible. When compiz crashis, double click it and run it, and compiz should restart itself (not the computer). This won't stop it from crashing, but now you won't have to restart your computer.
