[SOLVED] Compton doesn't start with Xorg 1.16, intel i915 driver.

serdotlinecho · 2014-07-19 04:00:12

Here's the error message from terminal:

└─ compton -b --config ~/.config/compton.conf
zsh: segmentation fault  compton -b --config ~/.config/compton.conf

Any compton user can confirm this with Xorg 1.16?

Edit: mpv too.

You should probably specify what version of compton you are using. I have the git version and it seems to have started just fine.

Edit: mpv seems to be working fine for me as well...

X server is start from virtual console tty1, i3wm.

pacman -Q xorg-server intel-dri
xorg-server 1.16.0-2
intel-dri 10.2.3-2

compton --version
git-v0.1_beta2-35-g4e8ccea-2014-07-13

And compton is start from i3 config

exec --no-startup-id compton

using ~/.config/compton.conf

And my xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
    for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
        [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
    done
    unset f
fi

xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local
xset +fp $HOME/.local/share/fonts
xset fp rehash

# load up Xresources
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources

# start some nice program
urxvtd -q -o -f &

# start gnome Keyring
eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=gpg,pkcs11,secrets,ssh)
export GPG_AGENT_INFO SSH_AUTH_SOCK

case $1 in
    cinnamon)
        exec cinnamon-session
        ;;
    gnome)
        exec gnome-session
        ;;
    i3)
        xautolock &
        exec i3
        ;;
esac

I'm having this problem too, with glxgears too, or llpp or mpv.
Only on an intel integrated video card (on the other laptop with an ati card everything is fine).

desaparecido · 2014-07-19 09:32:11

hi, for me is fine too, I use mpv-git and I have an ATI RadeonHD with radeonsi driver. Probably you need to rebuild mpv and compton ?

nierro · 2014-07-19 09:35:03

Nope...as I said, on my laptop with ati card everything is fine. While on the netbook with intel integrated card, it doesn't work. Btw i tried to build llpp again, but it doesn't work.

If you're using the Intel i915 driver, then have a look at this bug report:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41264

nierro · 2014-07-19 11:24:53

Thank you very much kinodont. Added my vote to the bug report!

serdotlinecho · 2014-07-19 12:16:14

Thanks, kinodont. Right now, I've downgraded back to xorg 1.15. I'll wait for the patches.

WonderWoofy · 2014-07-19 18:52:10

Okay, so while compton, mpv, and everything else seems to run on my machine, 1.16 makes everything have a kind of brief delay. It kind of makes it feel like I am back on rotational drives.

I have a machine with an Intel IVB processor/graphics. Hopefully this gets worked out soon.

blackout23 · 2014-07-19 20:47:46

mpv runs fine on my machine. Also nothing seems to be delayed. Everything works as expected. That's with nvidia-304xx and Gnome 3.12.

WonderWoofy · 2014-07-20 15:50:00

After the mesa update, things seem to be running normally now for me. Yay!

serdotlinecho · 2014-07-21 02:44:41

@WonderWoofy, on your Intel IVB machine? I have latest compton-git and mesa 10.2.4-1 and still cannot run. mpv cannot play video on my netbook Intel i915 driver, only audio.

WonderWoofy · 2014-07-21 02:47:24

Yeah, my machine is a Thinkpad E430 with a 3210-M. Things seem to work just fine.

serdotlinecho · 2014-07-21 02:55:03

@nierro can you confirm this on your netbook?

I'm on latest mesa and mpv /glxgears etc etc, still won't run...

What card are you on? Do you use radeon, intel or nouveau? I'm having no such problem with nouveau and nvidia blob. Have tried backtracing these applications?

nierro · 2014-07-21 17:53:12

As i said before, the netbook with intel card (i915) isn't working, while on the main laptop (radeon) everything is fine.

serdotlinecho · 2014-07-22 02:25:02

Solved. @nierro, upgrade to xf86-video-intel 2.99.912-4.

[2014-07-22 10:22] [PACMAN] upgraded xf86-video-intel (2.99.912-2 -> 2.99.912-4)

Interesting that xf86-video-intel needs a "disable dri3" patch to work correctly with xorg-server 1.16.0.

With so many Intel people working on X and other devs using Intel graphics you'd think they'd catch something like this before releasing 1.16.0.

is still in [testing] repo and is exactly for that than [testing] exist, I though.... to report if a specific config have problems

I was talking about upstream. For them Intel Graphics wasn't just some exotic config it probably was their main development plattform.
