 Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2007 2:11 am Post subject: gnome 2.20 and compiz? |
 |
|
It appears the gnome 2.20 upgrade did something nasty to my compiz setup.
Any of the compiz start methods at http://gentoo-wiki.com/Compiz (compiz-decorator script, /etc/env.d/99local, compiz-start,
autostart desktop files) have the same effect: running compiz and gtk-window-decorator, but no window decorations. The only way out is metacity --replace.
| Code: |
$ bin/compiz-decorator
[1]+ Done metacity --replace
$ ps -ef |grep compiz
user 5303 1 3 01:58 pts/0 00:00:00 compiz --replace gconf
user 5313 4617 0 01:58 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto compiz
$ ps -ef |grep gtk
user 5308 1 0 01:58 pts/0 00:00:00 gtk-window-decorator --replace
user 5317 4617 0 01:58 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto gtk

Any advice? |

| does emerald work? gnome-2.20 + compiz-fusion-0.6.0(emerald) is working fine using fusion-icon to start it. |

Replacing gtk-window-decorator with emerald has no visible effect, and I cannot find fusion-icon in stable.
| Code: |
# emerge -p fusion-icon
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies -
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "fusion-icon".

I did a revdep-rebuild after the upgrade, it became necessary due to dependencies on the previous libwnck.
Now I rebuilt all compiz-related packages, but the problem persists. |

I have similar or even the same problems, no way found to fix it so far. I had beryl running smoothly and well for a quite long time, yesterday I updated my desktop, had to find out beryl is gone and went on by following the guide on http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_compiz-fusion.
Now I don't get any window borders and I can't even get back to "normal" gnome start. I removed /etc/env.d/99local again (wasn't there before) and changed back the lines in /usr/bin/gnome-wm from ccp to gconf. Whenever I start my gnome session, compiz tries to start but doesn't work (for instance I can't switch between windows using ALT+TAB) and the windows don't have borders. I always need to $ metacity --replace when I enter my gnome session (there is nothing related in my session settings). With beryl I never had such pain! If I could, I would change back, of course not, if I could get compiz to run smoothly. Besides I noticed that the only version of fusion-icon I could emerge is 9999 which is hard masked. I therefore skipped it. I also noticed, that compiz-fusion has a useflag "unsupported", do I need this?
After upgrading, removing beryl packages and installing compiz-fusion I ran revdep-rebuild until no more packages have been found. Then I re-emerged all the compiz packages (twice until now) and the thins still stay the same.
I appreciate any help on this and would really like to have a shiny beautiful desktop back again... |

Pretty much the same here. I re-emerged all the compiz packages (but have been unable to find
the fusion-icon package?) and followed the same compiz-fusion guide. Got a bit further in that
some funny (emerald-themed?) window borders appeared, but they were inactive, i.e. non-dragable.
They appear to be controlled by ccsm Effects/Window decoration.
Before the gnome upgrade, I was running compiz, not fusion. Now it's back to metacity ... |

compiz-fusion literally is compiz, just with a bunch of peripheral plugins.
if the window borders were active, in the way you describe, it may be because the Move plugin was not enabled in ccsm. I think I've had this occur randomly on some upgrade of c-f.
fusion-icon, afaik, only in the xeffects overlay. or...

| Code: | user host portage $ cd /usr/local/portage/x11-apps/fusion-icon/
user host fusion-icon $ vi fusion-icon-9999.ebuild
user host fusion-icon $ ebuild fusion-icon-9999.ebuild digest
>>> Creating Manifest for /usr/local/portage/x11-apps/fusion-icon
user host fusion-icon $ echo "x11-apps/fusion-icon **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
user host fusion-icon $ e fusion-icon |

Got there! Uff! After some re-emerging (now it was just panically emerging compiz stuff again, emerge deplcean, revdep-rebuild, emerge -uDN world ..... don't remember what it was after all) I get gtk-window-decorator finally to do something! The borders appear and everything seems to work well.

Indeed! A whole lot of stuff is deactivated in ccsm by default. The same reason for my problem before, that I cannot switch between windows with Alt+Tab, I only needed to activate the Application Switcher...
I think some options should be set by default, doesn't anybody want to be able to switch between apps with Alt+Tab?... Doesn't anybody want to be able to resize windows and so on? Or is it my fault for not starting compiz correctly?
Thanks! That was of great help! |

Solved here, too! The key was re-enabling everything in ccsm ...
Don't like the emerald themes much, so I'm going back to gtk-decorator. |
