Compiz Fusion Repository

That's odd, no idea.

thayer · 2007-09-10 02:32:14

Mith, if I were you I would just double-check to make sure you've installed the libx11 from testing... run pacman -Qi libx11 and make sure the output matches this:

Version        : 1.1.3-4

root@mith-desktop /home/mith $ pacman -Qi libx11 | grep Version
Version        : 1.1.3-4

oddly though it also says "Installed as a dependency for another package", which I'm not sure if that makes sense or not since I installed it from testing and not as a dependency

ps:
I also installed libx11 with "pacman -Sf libx11" since it complained about xorg.sh being already there or some error along that line
not sure if that might cause the problem I'm having

Hrmm, mine properly reports that it was Explicitly installed, but other than that everything sounds the same... I also had to force the install due to xorg.sh.

nesl247 · 2007-09-10 03:50:54

The xorg.sh issue is because you aren't using all of testing.

i'm new to linux and am trying to install compiz-fusion. followed the wiki and think i have everything setup right. edited pacman.conf and put in compiz-fusion with nesl247's server.when i try to pacman -Sy compiz-fusion-git it tells me it's not in the sync db. i don't know if it has anything to do with it or not and i don't see how but all my other mirrors are FTP and his is HTTP. any ideas? i can get it from source if i have to but i don't like it when something that should work doesn't. i'd like to figure it out. thank you

now I try to remove libx11-xcb but I get another error

Why would you want to remove a package that isn't installed?
For some reasons, pacman believes compiz git requires libx11-xcb, and so ask you if you want to replace libx11 by libx11-xcb, not the other way around..

The --debug pacman output might give a clue about what exactly requires libx11-xcb.

Do you see the compiz-fusion repo being synced on pacman -Sy?
And then, does pacman -Ss compiz return any packages from this repo?

Mith · 2007-09-10 14:21:26

I saved the debug output in a text file and looked for libx11 in there

root@mith-desktop /home/mith $ cat pacman.output | grep -n libx11

so line 343 says it's pulling libx11-xcb because compiz-git needs it ...

missing dependency 'compiz-git' for package 'ccsm-git'

so ccsm-git pulls compiz-git, which pulls libx11-xcb, which conflicts with libx11 ....
does that help ?

i have to report no to both questions. if it would sync i would probably be good to go. thank you

Maybe you should double check your pacman.conf , and if you don't see any errors, maybe paste it here.

I'm not sure I understand why compiz-git requires libx11-xcb, it doesn't depend on it. And I don't have this problem here.
Which repo are you using, and are you synced with it?

i don't see anything wrong. but then i can't get it to work so something isn't right. thank you

Maybe look again at the first post in this thread.

flyer · 2007-09-10 17:24:11

SHINING, stupid of me. i had include instead of server. read that thing 10 times and didn't catch that. just changed it and it syncs up fine. thank you

I'm using Nesl's repo and yes I am synced with it

[compiz-fusion]
Server = http://arch.nesl247.org/compiz-fusion/x86_64

maybe I should just try the AUR way and give up on the packages.......

Oh, x86_64, that explains everything, In that repo, compiz-git does depend on libx11-xcb. So everything is normal on pacman side.

so you're saying I should in fact remove libx11 in favor of libx11-xcb?

thayer · 2007-09-10 19:57:11

Does that mean that 64-bit Archers do not need to add the [testing] repo before installing the Compiz Fusion packages? If that's the case then I'll update the wiki accordingly.

nesl247 · 2007-09-10 20:15:42

No, leave the wiki as is. The 64 repo will be updated to use testing today.

nesl247 · 2007-09-11 00:53:34

paul2lv updated the x86_64 repo, so the testing repo is now required for BOTH arch's.

paul2lv · 2007-09-11 00:55:36

The x86_64 repo has been updated, and the dependency on libx11-xcb has been eliminated (I hope). Please use the libx11 from testing. Thanks.

EDIT: You post too fast, nesl247!!

I have updated the wiki again to make the [testing] instructions a bit clearer. I do have some questions though:

1. Under the troubleshooting section where it states to start Compiz Fusion with one of the following commands:
LD_PRELOAD=/lib/mesa/libGL.so.1.2 compiz --replace &
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp &
Is this something that must be run only once, or should users be adding this to their Startup Sessions along with fusion-icon?

2. I still have a broken icon for fusion-icon in the panel... is there a fix for this?

thayer · 2007-09-11 03:52:51

Also just wanted to mention my results with Compiz Fusion so far... My ATI X1400 (fgrlx drivers) seems pretty choppy with just about every effect but the wobbly windows. For example, Ring Switcher is a bit jerky and seems to redraw slower than it should, producing minor artifacts as it does.

I hope the next fglrx version brings things more up to speed, but I'm curious to know if other ATI owners ( >R400 ) have had better luck.

I have X700 (R410, I think) and Compiz Fusion works like a dream, using open source (radeon) driver. Everything is stable & fast. The only problem is the 3D effects, which because of the driver, is a little slower than it should be.

I have tried fglrx and while the 3D effect is faster when using it (much, much more faster), the whole thing was so unstable (thanks to damnable GLX & no ALGLX supports) that it crashes my desktop every now and then.

But as long as I use the open source driver, everything is as smooth as silk. And so the moral of this story is, if you have ATi card, then use open source driver if you can. If you card isn't supported by the open source driver then, well, you're in for a tough ride until ATi rolls out new driver that supports AIGLX. Let's hope the next fglrx driver is as good as they said it would be.

Now this is why having a semi-obsolete graphic card can be a good thing.
