 Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2008 10:09 pm Post subject: more and more problems with compiz |
 |
|
i had some problems getting compiz working but after discovering fusion-icon re-emerging compiz all was good and it auto started and everything. i then tryed to get AWN working but in the process i must have done something wrong because fusion-icon no longer works! in fact it didnt appear to be installed any more!
anyway, after trying many sugestions about re-emerging things and so forth i got it to say:
| Code: |
tom@laptop ~ $ fusion-icon
* Detected Session: gnome
* Searching for installed applications...
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... present with indirect rendering, exporting: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
* Using the GTK Interface
* No module named gtk
... Trying another interface
* Using the Qt4 Interface
* No module named PyQt4
... Trying another interface
* Using the Qt3 Interface
* Interface not installed
*** Error: All interfaces failed, aborting!
|
i am about to go and have a very stiff drink after hours of fighting to get this working! any help is much appreciated!
thank you in advance

fusion-icon fails to find pygtk or pyqt. Try reemerging pygtk. There also seems to be a problem with direct rendering. Check if you have direct rendering:
| Code: | Jotunheim mortagon # glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

i have reemerging pygtk several times now but to no avail, however, i will give it another go!
...nope, sorry, same error!
when i run glxinfo | grep direct i get:
| Code: |
laptop tom # glxinfo | grep direct
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x54
direct rendering: Yes
|
it seems silly to me! it was working almost flawlessly, apart from some windows appeared blank until i minimized/maximized them!
im running an ati radeon mobility 9200 with open source drivers, just to let you know!
thanks for the help! |

Hm, I'd bet my 2 cents, your problem is related to the python bindings of compiz. Reemerging dev-python/compizconfig-python, x11-libs/libcompizconfig and x11-libs/compizconfig-backend-gconf. It helped me once icon died on me.
BTW try this one:
| Code: |
mortagon@Jotunheim ~ % python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Aug 2 2008, 03:41:47)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gtk
>>> import FusionIcon
|
If there should be no output. |

whilst i was awaiting a reply i took it upon myself to unmerge and emerge the whole of compiz. it didnt help! 
the output i get from running python and the commands you said to try gives me:
| Code: |
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Aug 2 2008, 15:58:12)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gtk
>>> import FusionIcon
>>>
|
however, i still get the following when i run fusion-icon:
| Code: | * Detected Session: gnome
* Searching for installed applications...
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... present with indirect rendering, exporting: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
* Using the GTK Interface
* No module named gtk
... Trying another interface
* Using the Qt4 Interface
* No module named PyQt4
... Trying another interface
* Using the Qt3 Interface
* Interface not installed

Your pygtk is not installed with the correct python or not installed at all. What version of pygtk have you installed? I have 2.12.1-r2 and everything isfine with fusion-icon. If you still have python 2.4 try doing the same exercise there to see if pygtk is available there. Also check your /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages for pygtk
| Code: | mortagon@Jotunheim ~ % ls /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk* -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2008-07-28 02:28 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.pth -> pygtk.pth-2.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 2008-07-28 02:26 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.pth-2.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2008-07-28 02:28 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.py -> pygtk.py-2.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2946 2008-07-28 02:26 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.py-2.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2092 2008-07-28 02:26 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.pyc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1799 2008-07-28 02:26 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.pyo
|
Should have to symbolic links for pygtk.pth and pygtk.py (similar issue here). Hope this helps. |

i have pygtk-2.12.0 installed and python-2.5.2-r5. should i downgrade?
i tried what you suggested and got:
| Code: | laptop tom # ls /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk* -l
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk*: No such file or directory
|
doesnt sound good! sorry im quite new to gentoo!

Never mind the shell error it's most probably a zsh/bash discrepancy. In any case try:
| Code: |
mortagon@Jotunheim ~ % ls -l /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.pth
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2008-07-28 02:28 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.pth -> pygtk.pth-2.0
mortagon@Jotunheim ~ % ls -l /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.py
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2008-07-28 02:28 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.py -> pygtk.py-2.0
|
If they do not show up as symbolic links type as root:
| Code: |
Jotunheim mortagon # cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages
Jotunheim site-packages # ln -s pygtk.pth-2.0 pygtk.pth
Jotunheim site-packages # ln -s pygtk.py-2.0 pygtk.py
|
This should fix things. |

ok, thanks mortagon, iv checked the symbolic links and they seem to exist!
| Code: | laptop tom # ls -l /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.pth
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 3 15:26 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.pth -> pygtk.pth-2.0
laptop tom # ls -l /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.py
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Aug 3 15:26 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygtk.py -> pygtk.py-2.0
|
anyhoo, i ran python-updater -i, i ran into a few problems which desultory helped me out with and now everything seems to be ok! apart from one annoying thing!
when i right click and select create launcher i just see 3 white boxes in a gray box, i.e. no text or boarders around the text boxes. nothing shows when i type but i do have window boarders. same with text editor and some other programs, but this can sometimes be resolved by minimize/maximizing. anyone had the same thing?
thanks

Glad you figured out most of your problems.
I think the glitches as those you describe appear on certain graphic cards. Could be a driver issue, but I don't have an Ati mobility laptop, so I don't really know. |
