Compiz fails out of nowhere - SOLVED

I was surfing the net and out of nowhere all my window borders jsut disappeard and i could not move or close any windows.  So i did a ctrl+alt+bkspc and restarted X, and when fusion-icon starts it does the same thing.  I ran it from a terminal and selected compiz-fusion as the window manager and this is the only output it gives:

* Setting window manager to Compiz
 ... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
compiz: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv000006gl

Any ideas?

Here is my Xorg.conf as well:

Re: Compiz fails out of nowhere - SOLVED

Have you been using Compiz on this system for a while, or is this a new install? What version NVIDIA drivers do you have? Does rolling back to the 177-series help (there are mirrors with old packages, look around on the forums, or use an old PKGBUILD from SVN)? i686 or x86_64?

I've had this up and running for a really long time now and have had no issues with compiz.  My nvidia driver is version 180.22 . and I'm on i686.  Ill try to find and older driver and downgrade to see if it helps.

Re: Compiz fails out of nowhere - SOLVED

Ok well i can't seem to figure this out, i downloaded and older pkg build of the driver from here http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/n … hrev=24314 and here http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/n … hrev=24314  But whenever i try to start X with that installed i get an error complaining about missing modules in the kernel or something of the sort.  I would really liked to get this sorted out before i leave for basic training on Tuesday big_smile
