Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Description:Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

After upgrading 64-bit system to Intrepid from Hardy with /home partition all animations stopped working, I enabled the new animations add-on in compiz settings which enabled the animations fine for everything except the Open/Close animations, all random animations and manually set animations will not function at all for any of these two actions.

I have the following errors repeatedly in .xsession

/usr/bin/compiz.real (animation) - Error: Animation settings mismatch in "Animation Selection" list for Close event.
/usr/bin/compiz.real (animation) - Error: Animation settings mismatch in "Animation Selection" list for Open event.

Also I get a little distortion with some effects when I minimize/maximize usually distortion is in the top window frame.

Installed the older 173 nvidia driver that worked fine with Hardy but no luck.

Every animation runs fine for other actions like minimize/maximize/shade etc just not any of them work for the open/close actions.

Thanks for your your bugreport.

I can not reproduce this after a fresh install. Could you please export your profile via the compizconfig-settings-manager ?

I can confirm the bug. I've noticed that after upgrading to intrepid there is no burn/beam minimize effects in "animations" plugin. Though the effects settings were dropped to defaults automatically in my case.
I suppose your error output is related to this issue.

Burn/Beam effects are in "Animations Addons" plugin. If it were enabled by default, you probably wouldn't have the problem.

For me the problem appeared when upgrading from lucid to maverick and changing the list of used animations or resetting to default and then reselecting them does not help.
