 Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2006 6:08 pm Post subject: Gconf has compiz key but no options [Solved] |
 |
|
I have a problem with XGL/Compiz and gconf.
I have followed the installation manual for Xgl+compiz on the Wiki. Everything works like a charm, but I can't configure the options for compiz in the gconf-editor. I have a key in Apps named Compiz, and I can set the value of Apps/Compiz/General/Allscreens/Active_Plugins. The keys in Apps/Compiz/Plugins (like cube, rotate and water etc.) are also created, but here's the catch: The only thing in the Plugins key is the description of the plugin. There are no subkeys named Options in the Plugin keys, and there is no Screen0 or something in General.
So besides the active_plugins, I can't set any options 
This happens as root as well as the normal user. Compiz and the plugins work fine (I get the wobbly windows, and the cube etc.) but I can't customize their behaviour.
I start xgl with GDM on screen 1 like this:
| Code: |
1=Xgl
[server-Xgl]
name=Xgl-Server
command=/usr/bin/Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv
flexible=true
|
And I have a /usr/bin/compizrc starting with order 45 in the session manager:
| Code: |
if [ `ps -A | grep Xgl | wc -l` == "1" ]; then
DISPLAY=:1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/ compiz --replace gconf &
DISPLAY=:1 gnome-window-decorator &
fi
|
I re-emerged compiz and gconf, but it doesn't help
I run Gnome 2.12.2 with Xgl / compiz-vanilla from the xgl-Coffee overlay revision 163 (current as of april 21st)
Anybody has a clue where to find a solution to this problem?

I had the same Problem. I could It solve this way:
| Code: |
export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE="xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults"
gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /usr/etc/gconf/schemas/compiz.schemas

Wow! Thank you so much. You definitely made my day... 
By the way: You should really add this advice to the gentoo wiki, as other people might find it useful too... (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL/Troubleshooting) |

Wow, thanks! I will test it out first thing this evening.
Edit: Works perfectly. Thanks a bunch!
