Hi all,

I upgraded to Hardy and my Workspace Switcher has stopped working. I click on a different workspace, and nothing changes. Anybody know what's up or have any tips about how to fix this?



I found a bug that might be related here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...iz/+bug/182424

Help.

If you have compiz enabled, make sure that rotate cube is enabled so that desktops can be switched.

[guy4286]

Hmm, rotate cube is not enabled. I have other desktop effects enabled like Expo and Viewport Switcher. That wouldn't cause a problem, would it?

[guy4286]

Just disabled Expo and Viewport Switcher and still the Workspace Switcher does not work.

Any other ideas?

You must enable Rotate Cube.

You don't need to disable these plugins, rather I would leave them enabled in conjunction with the cube (or plane or whatever your choice model is).

Yeah, enabling rotate cube made it so that my workspace switcher works again... I don't remember it doing this fancy spinning on the z-axis plane thing, but whatever, as long as I can use more than one workspace again.

You may prefer the less fancy Desktop wall(i think, i am writting fro an eeepc-hopr it gets compiz one day..)

The eeePC already has compiz. Linky

Yeah I'm a fan of the Desktop wall. It seems more natural when using Expo too.
