Public bug reported:
Compiz causes unity to fail because it can't load the opengl plugin. 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.
