Hello!
I installed compiz-bzr from aur but none of the effects seem to work, except the ones that are enabled by default. Also, changing the settings for the enabled plugins has no effect. Most of the changes I make in ccsm are being saved and being written to ~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig/Default.iniI managed to install compiz from bzr on Slackware too, and it has the exact behavior. I'm not sure if this is a bug or I do something wrong...
Are you using `compiz --replace ccp` to launch it?

]]>Well, I'm using it with Xfce (thus the wallpaper is set by xfdesktop, I suppose), all Compiz plugins besides of OpenGL disabled. The video card is the integrated video of the AMD A4-3400 with catalyst. Is there any howto concerning using Compiz as standalone window manager?
This should help:

If compiz has the same issues running standalone, then I guess it's a bug worth reporting.
If it works fine, I'm not sure.
Hi, big thanks for the package! What is the best way to debug Compiz issues? I have following thing to report but don't want to bother the devs with a report containing no useful information: When activating the OpenGL plugin (which is needed for basically everything) after some flickering I see only the background (wallpaper) and the cursor. After killing Compiz from TTY I see follwong output:
(process:1666): GLib-WARNING **: gmain.c:1641: ref_count == 0, but source was still attached to a context!
But this is only a warning so the crash handler plugin doesn't pop in...
The latest version of compiz no longer even includes the wallpaper plugin (see AUR comments as to why), si I'm guessing you're using the wrong package, or are running something else which is interfiering with compiz.
If you're running it with some DE, you should mention which one. Also, what video card are you using?
You should try running compiz standalone, with a minimal amount of plugins, if it still crashes, it may be an issue you'll want to report upstream.

]]>Any idea why the "wallpaper" plugin is disabled now?
The following bugs affect me on Arch, please check if you're affected too and upvote them if they do, so they get some more priority (hopefuly).

Please test and report any bugs to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz
Let's make compiz better.
]]>Is there any comfortable way to install the 0.9.x branch parallel to the 0.8.8 install from /community (for the sake of testing )?
Changing the "DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX" in the PKGBUILD, to something like /opt, and checking everything in package() moves stuff to /opt as well might work.
In any case, you could just keep the packages somewhere at hand, and install the one you want to try; it's not like you're evey going to run both at the same time.
]]>Is there a way to install Compiz from the new branch using PKGBUILD right now?
that i couldn't tell you. technically compiz-bzr 'should' be using the master branch - but for some reason i don't think it is - Rufflove would know (?)
I build it manually and update it either to test changes/report bugs, or update it when i feel there is reason to.
]]>good news, hope that compiz project will rise again from its ashes
Compiz always seems to do that
I think development is going quite well. As of the last few days, a slew of bugs have been fixed, since merging everything together. merging all of the various branches into one has caused a few build problems, but there are already branches waiting to be merged which fix all of that, they just need to be reviewed and then approved (for merging into the main branch).... They are even using Clang/LLVM for some code analysis / to find bugs GCC does not see. ~ which i didn't see coming, at all. although it does make sense... I haven't built compiz with Clang yet, but once the relevant branches have been reviewed and merged, i will give it a try.
