Latest Xgl and Compiz PKGBUILDs

aquila_deus · 2006-09-11 14:41:34

You can just run pacman -S libwnck

All latest xgl and compiz packages are already in danimoth's and my repositories.

edit /etc/pacman.conf, uncomment the line under [options]:

XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

and add repositories:

[AqD]
Server = http://aquila.deus.googlepages.com

[danimoth]
Server = http://jjdanimoth.altervista.org/arch/i686

now, do

pacman -Sy xgl-git compiz compiz-plugins cgwd csm

Then you can follow the wiki for setup; There are two differences from the wiki's info:
· compiz no longer uses gconf; now you can just type "csm" to configure it (csm is GUI) · you can replace gnome-window-decorator with cgwd if you want better window decorations; Run gcompizthemer to change/install cgwd themes (theme collections), however cgwd could cause serious memory leak in Xgl.

So beautiful!!
It worked.
thx.

I installed xgl as aquila_deus told above.

How to speed up the wobble effects? The wobble in xfce menu takes like 2-3 seconds, I would like it to be 0,5 seconds. Same would be to maximize, too.

I dont get csm configs working. I change the options in csm, but I dont get any changes to cube or effects, like shortcuts, cube top image, etc. Logout or restart X wont help. Also, options are saved in csm.

dwight · 2006-09-12 12:32:56

I'm not behind my arch box right now, but I think what was needed was to add 'dbus csm' to the command that launches compiz (also, remove gconf if it is in there). The menu wobble speed (and other settings) can then be modified via csm.

LukeK · 2006-09-12 16:46:46

I tried out Xgl last month and found it to be a bit unstable, so I uninstalled it all. I've just gone back and installed the packages from AqD and Danimoth's repositories. However, this time, with those packages, using Method 1 from the wiki (editing gdm.conf) whenever GDM starts up I get a blank blue screen and the login window never shows up. Anyone else run into this problem?

Ah, you need to start the X with dbus. In the beginning of ~/.xinitrc:

kill `pidof dbus-daemon` >/dev/null 2>&1
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax`

And start your compiz with:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mesa-xgl-cvs/lib compiz --replace dbus csm&

Well, you should not do anything experimental with gdm

Here is how I start Xgl:

/usr/local/bin/xorg (replace startx/xinit):

#!/bin/bash
if [ -e /tmp/.X0-lock ]; then
  echo "/tmp/.X0-lock" already exists
else
  X :0 -dpi 96 &
  DISPLAY=:0 ~/.xinitrc
fi

(change the -dpi 96 to your own dpi)

~/.xinitrc:

#!/bin/sh

kill `pidof dbus-daemon` >/dev/null 2>&1
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax`

xmodmap -e "keycode 113 = Alt_R" &
xmodmap -e "add mod1 = Alt_R" &

· If you're not using a nvidia gfx card, replace the -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:fbo arguments passed to Xgl with suitable ones. (it's driver-dependent)
· If you want to use window decoration themes, replace gnome-window-decorator & with cgwd &. And run gcompizthemer to install and choose themes. Beware that cgwd may cause serious memory leak in Xgl.
· Remember to change the last section "Start Xfce..."
BTW, the gnome-window-decorator in my compiz build is heavily patched by myself to look better. If you want the original one, you have to rebuild from PKGBUILD

Thanks Aquila, that got me going. Now to see if it's more stable than the last version!

I just installed your compiz using :
pacman -Sy xgl-git compiz compiz-plugins cgwd csm
and adding your repo.

I'm using the first method from the wiki to launch xgl, that is editing GDM configuration to use Xgl instead of X.

What "dbus-launch" has to do with xgl/compiz? Should the wiki be edited to reflect this???

Thanx!

The latest compiz from ubuntu requires dbus to update configuration at runtime.

So if I understand correctly, Xgl needs to know about dbus, which, by default, doesn't know a thing. Am I right?

So why kill the dbus daemon? Does the dbus-launch line really launch dbus or just output some env variables?

I'm asking this because I'd like to be able to use csm with Xgl launched with GDM. As of http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xgl … M_uses_XGL GDM config file is edited to launch Xgl instead of X. I wasn't able to modify this to insert the dbus kill and launch. I tryed:
command=kill `pidof dbus-daemon` && eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax` && /usr/bin/Xgl [...]
or putting those 3 lines in a separate script and call it:
command=/usr/bin/start_gdmxgl
but neither works.

The first one isn't able to launch anything, the second complains about a server already listening to :1...

Any idea? Thanx!

v1_ad · 2006-09-15 12:59:27

where can I put 'nolistentcp' option , when it starts ?

Xgl doesn't need dbus. Only compiz and csm do.

DBUS should cover a whole session, so you must have only one dbus for compiz and csm for them to update configruation at runtime.

The dbus-launch spawns a dbus-daemon, and set an environment variable that is used to identify this daemon. This environemnt variable must be seen by following applications, otherwise it wouldn't have any effect at all.

If you don't kill it, there would be a new dbus created everytime when you startx

See above, the environment variable set by dbus-launch must be seen. The "command=..." would just end with a dbus-daemon running but no app knows it.

BTW why do so many people use GDM/XDM?? From my experiences they're nothing but trouble...

Isn't this the goal of /etc/rc.d/dbus ? I just don't get it why a daemon, used by other applications and launched by an initscript, need to be killed just for compiz.

In my experience, GDM/KDM are great. I'm not afraid of the command line, I use it all the time. But I hate to first boot the computer, then login on an ugly screen, then type some command, and then wait again for gnome to launch, on a system I'm the only one to use. I want to press the power button, get myself a cup of coffee, and come back with a fully booted computer. But that's another topic

Not everyone use the same login method. What I hope is to adapt your work to fit my needs, and maybe the need of others. So to the topic... GDM, after loggin in, gets info from /etc/X11/sessions/gnome.desktop. In that file, you can see :

Exec=/usr/bin/dbus-launch /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
TryExec=/usr/bin/dbus-launch

Adding "--sh-syntaxt" and will see if it helps.

I fixed and rebuilt compiz and compiz-plugins for the new Xgl/mesa (in danimoth's repository, not in AUR yet), but forgot to upload new compiz-plugins (the version is the same )

Now do:

rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/compiz-plugins-0.*
pacman -Sy compiz-plugins

Cheers!

PS: you must use xgl-git >= 20060916 and mesa-xgl-cvs >= 20060916[/code]

There are too many to build:

· mesa-xgl-cvs
· xgl-git
· compiz
· csm
· compiz-plugins
· cgwd

wow, startxgl 0 gnome ati does not result in a white screen anymore!
But there are no effects to be seen?
As well, csm outputs

** ERROR **: couldn't get dbus.

I've added the dbus-stuff to the top of ~/.xinitrc.
What exactly do I need to change?

So far, the only noticable difference is garbled text in text- and list-boxes.

Humm...
When I try do follow this procedure, I get the following error :

xgl-git: not found in sync db

I also tried to build from source but I get this error :

xglx.c:699: error: redefinition of 'xglxXineramaResetProc'

I am doing something wrong ?

Thanks,
