Do you have any idea? <div>2008/1/15, angels mail < <a href="mailto:angels.mails@gmail.com">angels.mails@gmail.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi, I was playing around with my graphic card, I tried to install Catalyst 7.12, and afterwards I tried to removed it ... but now ... I have a new restricted driver listed in Restricted Driver Manager: Lucent/Agere linmodem controller driver (which is not in use), but I don't know where it comes from. There are other changes, which I don't know how to fix them: my sound control doesn't work anymore; the error signed is: no volume controller gStreamer plugins and/or devices found. I also tried to remove compiz from my system as written here <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=569654" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=569654</a> but know I have the problem: after reboot I can't move windows and I don't see windows decoration, which I can fix with metacity --replace, but only temporarily. Someone knows how can I fix all these? Thanks for your answer. I really don't know what should I do, so much mess is now here ... :( -- Cheers, Angels WE never know how high we are Till we are called to rise; And then, if we are true to plan, Our statures touch the skies.(E.Dickinson) </blockquote></div> -- Cheers, Angels WE never know how high we are Till we are called to rise; And then, if we are true to plan, Our statures touch the skies.(E.Dickinson )
