[Compton] How to make the blur works (solved)

Spheerys · 2019-01-14 11:33:13

Hi,

I want to use compton's blur parameter on terminal background.
But my conf doesn't work : https://pb.spheerys.fr/?9ce52a7f07b208d … OlQgac5V4=

The blur parameters are set there :

backend = "glx";

blur-background = false;
blur-background-frame = true;
blur-background-fixed = true;

blur-kern = "3x3box";
blur-method = "kawase";
blur-strength = 12;

The problem : there is no change with or without them !

I wonder if my graphic card is correctly installed, it's look like but how can be sure ?
What else could be responsable of this issue ?

blur-background = false;

I obsiously tried with his parameter to true, but nothing change...

When launching compton by hand I have those messages :

I don't know if it could help

Well, It's not going to work if blur-background is disabled.

From your config I assume you're using urxvt as VTE?
Is it translucent?
Does blurring work in general?
Do you use urxvt in ARGB mode (eg. " urxvt --depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444")?

Spheerys · 2019-01-14 17:34:19

I'm not using urxvt for now, but terminator.
But the result is the same : there are both translucent but blurring doesn't work in general.
urxvt in ARGB mode give me a translucent background without blurring.

That is why I'm suspecting a driver/glx issue.

Ensure you set blur-background to true and restarted compton w/ that setting.
Then post the output of glxinfo.

Spheerys · 2019-01-14 20:09:45

I have restarted compton : no change.
Here my glxinfo output : https://pb.spheerys.fr/?a7e6092c9984cce … rsYY+gNSU=

Spheerys · 2019-01-18 22:33:59

I have understood why it doesn't work !
The community/compton package doesn't support blur for now.
But aur/compton-tryone-git and aur/compton-no-blur-limit-git do !!

HiImTye · 2019-01-18 23:12:13

passing --blur-background to compton on the command line works perfectly fine for me, no need to install any alternative packages

[ tye@t: ~ ]$ pacman -Ss compton
community/compton 4.0-1 [installed]
    X compositor that may fix tearing issues

Works for me as well (4.0-1, likewise)
Also: at least the "compton-no-blur-limit-git" package draws from the "original" compton, "Latest commit 316eac0 on 30 Apr 2017" - the community version uses a much newer fork.

Sorry btw, I missed the glxinfo post - it does however not suggest insufficient GL support (and apparently that's not the issue anyway)

Spheerys · 2019-01-18 23:30:09

Very strange... in fact I get my answer on a github repository : https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/537

seth · 2019-01-19 09:38:27

Not strange:

https://github.com/chjj/ is used by compton-no-blur-limit-git
aur/compton-tryone-git uses https://github.com/tryone144/compton which was suggested to you by the maintainer of https://github.com/yshui/compton/ and that fork is used by the community repo.
The latter lacks the kawase blur filter (https://github.com/yshui/compton/issues/32) like the chjj version, but you never specified that a certain blur algorithm is missing, you only suggested that blurring failed (altogether) which isn't the case.

SIdenot: github forking could be a mistake for a feature… ;-)
