Thank you for taking the time to request this package and helping to make Ubuntu better. I can confirm this bug exists in compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported 0.7.6-1 in the Intrepid repositories.

Error is reported in compiz terminal output.

Fixed in jaunty

I uploaded a fixed version into the compiz ppa at:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/compiz/ubuntu intrepid main

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Needs motu-sru ack.

[Devid Antonio Filoni (d.filoni)]

motu-sru ACK.

[David Stenglein (stengleind)]

Sorry that I didn't update before. I installed the deb mentioned above and the plugin works fine now.

I am simply amazed at the quick action taken on this, from triage to confirmation to fix in about a day is awesome. People really need to put things in launchpad instead of forums!

Now I need to put in a tough one about gnome-safe-mode. ;-)

Thanks,
Dave

Accepted into intrepid-proposed, please test and give feedback here. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Tested with 0.7.6-1 and could not enable Tile. Tested with 0.7.8-0intrepid1 from intrepid-proposed and successfully enabled and used Tile.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported - 0.7.8-0intrepid1

---------------
compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported (0.7.8-0intrepid1) intrepid-proposed; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
  * the 0.7.6 version of compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported will
    not work with compiz 0.7.8 so this update is needed (LP: #296811)
