open terminal and type compiz --replace If that was succesfull then put that command in your startup and it will setup compiz on boot.

    Running compiz --replace with sudo is not a good idea. What do you mean by "setup compiz on boot" – Anwar Sep 26 '12 at 20:14

  • Sorry, my english is bad. I wanted to say that your compiz will be started along with your system, so you won't have to repeat that command manually. But if compiz is not working with that command try to type compiz --replace cpp and see if that works. I'm using this aproach and it's working, it worked in 11.10 and it's working now in 12.04. – Alen Sep 26 '12 at 20:35

I think there is a problem with pygtk, with the python3 as default, when you have multi python environment in your system, the pygtk can not be imported, and cause this error, you can try with python2 /usr/bin/ccsm. This is the solution solve my problem

Gnome-desktop uses mutter window manager instead of compiz. If you install Gnome-Classic on top of Ubuntu, you will have two sessions with gnome-classic. One with compiz (gnome-classic with effects) and another without compiz (gnome-classic without effects) .

But, since you installed gnome-classic on top of Ubuntu studio, there will not be any gnome-classic session with compiz effects. Because, Ubuntu Studio does not come with compiz as Ubuntu does. Because UbuntuStudio uses XFCE desktop environment which is not using Compiz but XFWM.

You can try installing compiz and creating a custom session to be able to login with compiz effects.

See this question to get help of creating a custom session.
