Compiz fails to start on Ubuntu 12.04 after installing Nvidia graphic drivers.

[Callum Johnston]

Hi,

I had recently updated to Ubuntu 12.04 with a fresh install, I went to additional drivers to install the Nvidia drivers and after a rebooted i was greeted to a black screen that lasted for a while then the wallpaper came up an error then popped up saying that Compiz could not start, i managed to uninstall the driver by right clicking on the wallpaper>Change desktop background and then All Settings and then i rebooted. After Ubuntu rebooted and the driver was uninstalled everything was working as it was before. The Nvidia graphics drivers work in Ubuntu 11.04 & 11.10 but not in 12.04.

Thanks.
