Compiz Fusion from desktop-effects overlay

[purak]

Hi all, I have tried to emerge Compiz Fusion from desktop-effects overlay. I get the following error,

[jonnevers]

you could run emerge with FEATURES="-sandbox" for the time being, I haven't seen this sandbox violation but I haven't pulled these 9999 ebuilds in a couple days.

then again, this might not be a sandbox violation and this might not help.

what does an 'ls -lh' on the folder(and its parent) yield?

Thanks for help, I emerged compiz-9999 sucessfully. Unfortunately I can't use Compiz Fusion. Start fusion icon end see a white screen.

what does emerge -av nvidia-drivers say?

GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is a mandatory extension that needs to be exposed by the gfx drivers for compiz to work (it faciliates all the compiz compositing magic). personally i just use the ~ARCH nvidia-drivers but the ARCH package should expose this function too.

here is my relevant xorg.conf stuffs, device section:

I use this command,

if you start compiz manually (aka not using fusion-icon... which is a great app for handling compiz) you need to also manually start emerald

Well when starting compiz manually while using flat-file backend, which is
default with compiz from the overlay if i am not mistaken, then you need to
also load the ccp plugin like this 'compiz --replace ccp'. This plugin will
enable ccsm 'compizconfig-settings-manager' to save your settings.

Now to get compiz to start your decorator when compiz is started, just
insert 'emerald' command in ccsm > window decoration > command = emerald

Since your not getting any output when trying to start the decorator
manually then i would suggest you verify that compiz is actually running.
If it is then i would next make sure that the Window Decoration plugin
is actually enabled in ccsm.

I would also ask, have you tried another window decorator? If using gnome
then 'gtk-window-decorator', if using kde 'kde-window-decorator'.

If you had an existing compiz configuration from a previous install i would
also try and rename/remove it and allow compiz to create a default
config. The config is found in ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/Default.ini

Thanks Jupiter1TX! I started ccsm and find window decorations section and click "enable window decoration" (sory for english ) Now, window border appears but effects don't work...
