Re: Latest Xgl and Compiz PKGBUILDs

Anyone know why the plugins section of compiz in gconf-editor only shows the fade plugin?  I tried restoring the compiz schemas from /usr/etc/gconf/schemas/compiz.schemas but it still only shows the fade plugin.

Some of the plugins seem to work though, like scale, wobbly, fade, switcher, cube etc.  But they don't appear in gconf-editor so I can't edit any options. 

Also, I don't get any shadows around my windows...   

EDIT:  I am using the latest xgl-cvs and compiz-quinn-cvs packages from shadowhand, which I think he built from mikos's latest xgl abs overlay.

I tried

gconftool-2 --install-schema-file /usr/etc/gconf/schemas/compiz.schemas

and the output seems to say it put those schemas into gconf's database.  But still nothing.

Output from gcontool-2: http://pastebin.com/704423

Maybe something is wrong with my gconf db?

Solved it by doing as root

export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE="xml:merged:/opt/gnome/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults"
gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /usr/etc/gconf/schemas/compiz.schemas

Got this from the gentoo forums.  For some reason the --makefile-install-rule flag worked but the --install-schema-file flag didn't work.

Changelog:

· Added compiz.install file to compiz-cvs and compiz-quinn-cvs (problems with missing gconf schemas are gone, hurray! ;-))
· --sysconfdir in compiz-cvs and compiz-quinn-cvs PKGBUILDs changed to /opt/gnome/etc (stupid /usr/etc directory is gone)
·   compiz-intel-copy-pixel-issue-workaround-1.diff patch modified for latest QuinnStorm CVS and added back to compiz-quinn-cvs PKGBUILD

Re: Latest Xgl and Compiz PKGBUILDs

Any ideas if fixesproto has been fixed ...

pacman -Syu gives 
error: unresolvable dependencies:
  xgl-cvs: requires fixesproto>=4.0 but it is not in the sync db

&

 pacman -S shadowhand/fixesproto

Targets: fixesproto-4.0-1

Total Package Size:   0.1 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] y

checking package integrity... 
error: archive fixesproto-4.0-1.pkg.tar.gz is corrupted

?

you can d/l from repro & use -Ufd whatever but syncing not working ....

Re: Latest Xgl and Compiz PKGBUILDs

pacman -S shadowhand/fixesproto worked fine for me (just a minute ago)

edit:  It looks like fixesproto upgraded to 4.0 but now I'm getting an error about xgl-cvs requiring fixesproto >= 4.0 (when I do pacman -Syu)

Well, this can be temporarily fixed by adding this line to /etc/pacman.conf:

IgnorePkg = fixesproto

But does anybody know what is causing this? There wasn't such a problem with scrnsaverproto. I have simply copied original fixesproto PKGBUILD from pacman and changed version to 4.0. There shouldn't be problems, this is strange.

Re: Latest Xgl and Compiz PKGBUILDs

Maybe Shadowhand should try uploading fixesproto again ?

Re: Latest Xgl and Compiz PKGBUILDs

Hi all,

I tried to pacman -Sy from Shadowhand's repo, but apparently it has no shadowhand.db.tar.gz file, so pacman fails.

Is it my problem of misreading anything?

Yup, if you take a look at the official fixesproto PKGBUILD, you'll see "force=y". This forces pacman to "upgrade" to the repo version no matter what the local version is. Wine 0.9.11 had force = y as well, since 0.9.12 was a lot of trouble. I don't know why fixesproto has it.

While I'm posting anyway, Mikos, I have a question for you.

I've been trying to get AIGLX working with compiz, and it's been going pretty well so far. However, window decorations won't work with 24bit depth, but according to the folks over at the compiz forum, there's some kind of a patch that takes care of that. I couldn't really understand which patch that is, and your PKGBUILD doesn't seem to include it. Do you know anything about it?

FWIW, Xorg 7.1 should indeed be out by tonight if they stick with their schedule.

Re: Latest Xgl and Compiz PKGBUILDs

I wonder if the relevant compiz patches will be included in 7.1. They're not in RC3 (which was out just a few days ago actually).

I sure hope so. The whole hardware accelerated desktop stuff is going to be so much more easy to implement now that AIGLX is in xorg. I'm curious as of how KDE4 wil make use of it.

It's a pity ATI & nvidia are so slow to make the relevant updates to their drivers... I'm rejoicing with my Intel Extreme

Well, there is Xorg's ATI driver now... We'll see how that is in 7.1.

Re: Latest Xgl and Compiz PKGBUILDs

OK, So I can't find it in this thread... but when I try to install cairo-devel, there is cairo-cvs there that conflicts with it. And of course I can't remove cairo-cvs because its conflicts are too deep... someone wanna help?

Re: Latest Xgl and Compiz PKGBUILDs

The kde-window-decorator does not work...
Look here... Its 3 months ago when they put a little work in it...
I think this one will never be finished as KDE goes in another direction (aiglx?)...
