Compiz suddenly stops working on ubuntu 12.10

Can you provide us more details about this issue?

1. Laptop/model number
2. Graphics card version (lspci | grep -i vga)
3. Have you installed properitery drivers?

Sometimes apport (crash - reporter) not working well.

If you search the bug-tracker here in Launchpad you will discover multiple bug reports for apport. Others are Fix Released others not yet.

So if you want to disable the apport give this command in terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)

~$ sudo sed 's/enabled=1/enabled=0/' -i /etc/default/apport

This will disable the messages about crashing all the time.

But if the crash is for real (and not an apport's crash) you should report the bug , or search if the bug already exists and participate there to help the developers to fix it quickly.

If you want to re-enalbe apport give this command

~$ sudo sed 's/enabled=0/enabled=1/' -i /etc/default/apport

You will need to reboot at each change (enable or disable) for the change to take effect.

Thank you.

1.Ubuntu 12.10 is installed on Desktop not laptop.
2 I have nvidia graphics card.
3. I have not installed any drivers

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo dmidecode -t 1

Thanks

I have attached the output. I have taken a screen shot of my desktop
window.
Have a look.

Replying to the automated email and attaching a file doesn't work. Please use sites like imageshack or dropbx public to make a hyperlink to the image

Thanks

why didn't you just copy the text and paste here as an update? Why do you need an image for what is essentially, text?

You are using the open source driver. You may find it works nicer if you enable the proprietary driver.

Well here's the text you asked for.

Again, why an image when you have text?
