The compizconfig setting manager doesn't work on my 11.10 installation of Ubuntu. I've tried setting the launcher panel visibility to "never" and changing the number of workspaces in the virtual box, but it doesn't affect the actual system, not even after rebooting.

I have the same setup on a desktop PC and there everything is just working - this problem only appears on the laptop.

I've tried unity --reset and compiz --replace to no avail. I would be very thankful for any suggestions on how to get it working

Update:

Ok, so I've dug a bit more and it seems that I'm running Unity 2D. It stays that way regardless of what I select at the login screen

  • have you checked if your graphics card supports Unity? askubuntu.com/a/34583/33871

You are probably running unity 2d which is not powered by compiz (so ccsm settings wount affect your desktop session)

To see if you are running unity 2d check this question
