HI, did Amir's advice solve your problem? I to have had this happen and I think it is in compiz-fuzion-plugins extra,update,after you ether update or install restricted extras the paper plane in ccsm is gone, let us know if Amir's advice worked, so far I have kept from updating the plugin.

All that is installed alrady. Check my screenshot


Should I reinstall all of them through Synaptic...???

Tell you what i would do, i would uninstall everything related to compiz & along with the removal/delettion of the hidden ".compiz" that can be found in your "Home" directory, then restart the machine & do a clean installation of Compiz along with the plugin/extras!!

I think I am missing System Restore feature of Windows...

bro allot of learning today ha.

here is something to try :

Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal for GNOME users or KMenu -> System -> Konsole for KDE users) and type:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -y remove compiz-core desktop-effects

Leave the terminal open and go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources, click on the second tab (Third-Party Software), then click on the "Add" button and paste the following code:

Code: Select all

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy

Click the "Add Source" button after you pasted the above code and do the same for the following code:

Code: Select all

deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy

Don't close the Software Sources window yet!

In the terminal window, type:

Code: Select all

wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/DD800CD9.gpg

Code: Select all

sudo apt-key add DD800CD9.gpg

Now click the "Close" button on the Software Sources window and you will be asked if you want to reload the information about available software, so click the "Reload" button and wait for the window to disappear.

Copy/Paste the following lines in the terminal window:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y upgrade

FOR GNOME USERS:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -y install compiz compiz-gnome compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra libcompizconfig-backend-gconf

FOR KDE USERS:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -y install compiz compiz-kde compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig

Now, if everything was correctly installed and you didn't encounter errors, press ALT+F2 and type:

Code: Select all

compiz --replace

bro tell me what happen after that please.

Some quick tricks:

- Hold CTRL + ALT keys and with the left mouse button rotate the cube
- Super + E activates the Expo plugin
- Hold Super + Shift and with your mouse paint fire on your desktop
- Super + Shift + C will erase the fire paint
- Super + Tab activates the Ring Switcher plugin

I too had this problem after a compiz update and I found it's all related to the latest beta compiz-fusion release.So before you remove and reinstall all the compiz-fusion package go in ubuntu-tweak and uncheck the third-party for compiz.
