Nvidia Beta + Beryl + Emerald

twiistedkaos · 2006-10-10 00:37:10

I'm trying to get this to work, but failing. I've tried running this:

beryl & emerald --replace

I also get this error with beryl:

XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
Nvidia Present
Relaunching beryl with __GL_YIELD="NOTHING"
XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
Nvidia Present
beryl: '/usr/lib/beryl/libsettings.so' plugin version does not match beryl version.
beryl: Couldn't load plugin 'settings'
Segmentation fault

I downloaded beryl from unstable(I belive) either that or testing.

but my decorations just disapear and I dont get any affects O.o

I've also trying starting it this way:

dbus-launch beryl-start
dbus-launch beryl-manager & dbus-launch emerald --replace

I've tried without the dbus-launch and tried all the ways the arch wiki has to offer. Still a no go.

Update:
seems that some of the eyecandy does work. I can Alt+Scroll to get transparency like on Xgl + Compiz, but thats about it. I am still missing my decorations, plus alot of other things >.>

leviathan · 2006-10-10 16:02:27

I have the same problem

twiistedkaos · 2006-10-10 16:33:43

Is there any known fix for this yet, I've ready multiple people have this problem. But then again some don't with no difference in the Xorg configuration. What is up?

cougar · 2006-10-10 16:36:12

I have this problem too. I think it's a package issue

twiistedkaos · 2006-10-10 16:38:35

See some people were complaining about the packages that had this problem, then a day later they said it is fixed. But I am still getting the issue they've been having

stonecrest · 2006-10-10 17:26:55

I still have this same issue with an Intel card. No decorations and the alt-tab effect does nothing. Other effects work properly.

That pretty much is the same thing that I have. I believe it's because beryl isn't loading all the settings for some reason. I don't get drop shadows, ect. And no decorations, but I do get the transparency options.

twiistedkaos · 2006-10-11 00:43:49

I've tried like every possible thing I could think of. I did read that some problems can occur because Xorg wasn't installed correctly. But I am not that interested in getting beryl to work to completely reinstall Xorg by hand.

Useing gnome?Try this?

GNOME Desktop

The simplest way is to add beryl-start to the applications that start with your session. You can do this by going to:

[Desktop] -> [Preferences] -> [Sessions] -> [Startup Programs]

Adding beryl-manager to the list might be a good idea too so you can switch back to Metacity if need be.

alzen · 2006-10-11 07:47:27

hi, just want to say i have same things twiistedkaos said. beryl-manager was added to gnome session startup programs long ago.

twiistedkaos · 2006-10-11 16:37:36

i suppose I will just have to wait for package update or something. Nothing I try seems to work

twiistedkaos · 2006-10-12 18:29:22

With a recent upgrade I am now further into beryl. I now have ALL of the effects, just still no window decorations.

cougar · 2006-10-12 22:04:08

Try to launch beryl-manager

Been there, done that. Same thing / effect.

wd · 2006-10-13 01:56:02

After you run beryl-manager,there is a icon in the tray.some setting there.

Yeah there is, but there still isn't any way of getting the decorations to show.

edit
Is libwnck-compiz required for beryl / emerald? Because I can't get them to start after removing it, and I also can't reinstall it.

alzen · 2006-10-13 09:22:30

hey twiistedkaos, i made beryl work for me. just removed beryl-svn group and compiled all the ahioros's beryl's and emerald's packages from AUR. i didn't have window decorations at first but after i selected one in "Emerald Theme Manager" and i have decos.

guess those packages are a little older than svn ones, anyway they work for me.

about libwnck, i use standard, not compiz package.

Alright, sounds good. I'll try this when ever I get home. I am at school right now.

I am not sure why exactly they stopped working after I installed libwnck and it now refuses to work. Maybe I need to delete the configuration files and maybe it will work then. I had to do that with Wine.
