I tried to make compiz start up automatically. It starts up automatically now, but it causes the main ubuntu menu to be disabled. I would like to change the way it starts up, but I forgot which file I created/edited to make compiz start automatically. How can I see which file makes the compiz process to start up?

Thanks in advance.

If you've made the changes using Terminal, check the history log. To do that, simply type history in a terminal window.

  • I wanted to do that, but apparently the log got cleared.

Is it a user-specific configuration change? Try looking in ~/.config/autostart.

If it is system-wide, try /usr/share/gnome/autostart or /usr/share/autostart

  • Thanks, but I have looked in those directories. Haven't been able to find anything. It starts up only when I start the ubuntu session. If I start a ubuntu 2D session it doesn't start compiz.

Using pstree or gnome-system-monitor, you might be able to find the parent process. That parent process might give you a clue since it might load configuration files you wrote and execute them.
