[SOLVED] compiz Rotate Cube flicker (flashes)
- Inicie sesión ou rexístrese para enviar comentarios
This problem happens when using compiz's “Rotate Cube”.
Right after switching work spaces using the cube effect, the windows displayed in the previous workstation you are moving from are shown for a fraction of a second in the new workstation you moving to. Kind like a flicker or a flash.
This is the workaround I have found so far:

This workaround suggest to downgrade compiz to version 0.9.7.8 which I'm sure is not the ideal, and it may cause some problems. So far, I haven't got any. If you use this work around and you are having problems please post back.
This problem is fixed on Ubuntu 12.10, so it should also be fixed on Trisquel's next release too.
Please share if you know how to fix it in a better way.
This is what you have to do:
Run the following in terminal
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:vanvugt/compiz-preproposed
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install compiz=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-core=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-gnome=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-plugins=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-plugins=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-plugins-default=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 libdecoration0=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2
(it will downgrade packages, allow it to continue)
Start synaptic
in "Search filter": put "compiz"
select every package that has a (! or a star) next to it.
Select Package -> lock version
(they become red)
exit synaptic
Reboot or Restart X/Compiz.
