Can we have a way to workaround this to make it easier for users? It seems like doing something akin to 'sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz' to recover might be a good solution, or figure out why the opengl plugin doesn't load and fix it. [ test case ] 1) Install desktop normally; have nvidia hardware. 2) Install proprietary drivers, reboot. 3) Uninstall proprietary drivers, reboot. 4) Repeat 2/3 until you log in and you can only see the background. When switching to a VT and trying to re-run unity I see the message: compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'opengl' not loaded. [ workaround ] In the VT do: sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ then log back in I can reproduce this in the latest trusty as of Jul 15, 2014.
