Ubuntu Tweak error when attempting to select Compiz Settings

[xaliqen]

Compiz is installed, but I'm not using it at the moment. In attempting to select Compiz Settings, Ubuntu Tweak experiences an error.

Distribution: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Application: Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.6
Desktop: gnome

Try to install the main plugin of Compiz: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-main

Hello TualatriX, here's what I get from apt:

OK, try this package:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

It seems your compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package is broken.

Try to install it: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra

It seems the issue is somewhat related to compiz version 0.9.

I downgraded to compiz 0.8.6 and everything works properly.

Thanks for for the help in trying to find the source of the issue.

I could try getting everything working again with 0.9 by doing another build from source, but I think I'll just leave it be for now.

Using Ubuntu 10.10 and 5.7 Ubuntu. When I brought up Compiz Settings, the crash occurred immediately
