EEEBUNTU/UBUNTU – How to get the title bars back?

It is a common problem in Ubuntu that if you install Compiz, you will sometimes loose the title bars. Users often get very frustrated as there is very few information online on how to get them back. Anyway, after some hours of research, I was finally able to get them back. Here is how to do it:

First get Emerald. Get it by typing this in the terminal

sudo apt-get install emerald

Then, go to system>preferences>startup applications and add the following in the list: (without ‘ ‘)

1. Use name as ‘compiz’ and command as ‘compiz –replace’
2. Add another startup application by using name as ‘emerald’ and command as ‘emerald –replace’

Restart computer and you should get your title bar back! Now, I am running Compiz without any problems on ASUS EEE 701.
