Could be a dbus issue... see my XFCE4 installation guide earlier in the thread, and you'll see the kind of .xinitrc syntax you need.

I'm also having that menu-problem and I'm running Gnome and GDM, which then launches fusion-icon on login. I haven't had any dbus-problems generally which makes me wonder if that really is the problem.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

Well, why not view the stderror/stdout output? Start the X server manually from a TTY and switch to see what output there is.

I installed compiz-fusion using compiz-fusion-kde.tar.gz set of pkgbuilds.

The only issue I have so far is that maximized windows totally lack decorations, if I un-maximize them - they get their decorations back!

Anybody seen this/has any hints to try out?

UPD: Ok, this is a bug in kde-window-decorator, installed emerald and using emerald themes for now, works well.

Tres bizarre... try changing the theme in Emerald Theme Manager and see if it happens with everyone. I have a theme running atm that puts a decoration on every edge of each window, but only the top edge decoration is visible when the window is maximised.. it's possible it's a setting specific to your theme?

Figured that this is a specific bug in kde-window-decorator, switching to emerald fixed it.

This did not fix my issue, I also noticed that it's not just a menu issue, it happens with any window, menu or application start, they all are delayed for about 5 seconds. Thanks for the help though, I will continue to look into this.

I had the same problem, and it was dbus for me, so that was my best guess.

Start your Xserver from a TTY manually, as I suggested earlier, and see what errors/warnings are output.

I dont know if this was mentioned before, but when i start fusion-icon in kdemod ... in the system tray where the compiz-icon is sapposed to be, is blank, but if I right click the blank area ill see the options.

Sorry it sounds so confusing ... what I am trying to say is there is no Tray Icon showen but the menu exists where the icon should be.

Any ideas?

It's a known issue AI Bot

ianegg · 2007-07-11 13:16:20

Just tried to install compiz on a 32 bit system, and the db.tar.gz in the repo seems corrupt/incomplete. 64 bit is fine.

nesl247 · 2007-07-11 14:38:46

ianegg, fixed.

maxge · 2007-07-14 11:28:49

Thank you very much for your work but i don't find the atlantis plugin to activate aquarium with fish. Where is it?

nesl247 · 2007-07-15 12:24:26

It's not in one of the grouped packages, but I'll create a pkgbuild for it when I update packages today.

nesl247 · 2007-07-18 23:03:15

Updated packages. I've updated the compiz-git to reflect Danimoth's updated pkgbuild in aur (it's his pkgbuild). So now it shouldn't require as many gnome deps.

matiit · 2007-07-24 21:38:36

how to get 3d effects?
In gentoo it's named compiz-fusion-plugins-threed

nesl247 · 2007-07-24 22:31:37

I'll write a pkgbuild and add it to the repo when I update today or tomorrow.

Danny · 2007-07-25 12:20:02

So I decided to give this a try, I followed the wiki.. however it doesn't seem to work. If I follow the guide earlier in the topic for XFCE I get no window decorations at all. And if I run XFCE normally, like I usually do and do a "fusion-icon" I get the following output..

[danny@ruby ~]$ fusion-icon

Any suggestions?

nesl247 · 2007-07-25 15:31:36

You don't have the composite extension. Add this to the end of your xorg.conf:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

Danny · 2007-07-25 15:45:19

Hmm, seems I didn't save the file when I edited it. Duh! Thanks.

Davide Faria · 2007-07-26 12:48:49

nesl247,
until 2 updates ago, it used to work perfectly. I'm using xgl whith a x300 ati mobile. All beautifull.
But, since then, my WM don't have decoration anymore. Nothing work.
The worst point is: there isn't any errors warining, messages, nothing. I haven't changed my configs, specially the xorg.conf, but it simple don't work anymore. Can you help?

Plz, forgive my english.

nesl247 · 2007-07-26 15:04:32

By saying the WM doesn't have decorations anymore, I'm taking it that compiz is working, but no decorations are being drawn. Try starting emerald or gtk-window-decorator or kde-window-decorator with --replace in a console, like emerald --replace.

Post any errors.

Davide Faria · 2007-07-26 16:43:21

well, when i run fusion-icon i get this output in terminal:

* Using the Qt4 Interface
Backend     : ini

Now, running compiz directely :

LD_PRELOAD=/opt/mesa-xgl/lib/libGL.so.1 compiz --replace &
emerald --replace

that's it or i'm doing wrong?
Well, my WM still not drawing frames and don't get any output from the comands above.

I'm using fglrx version 8.36.2-2

dreadbrazen · 2007-07-29 19:01:32

hey guys, i'm having a weird problem. When I try to start CCSM, I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/use/bin/ccsm", line 39, in <module>
import ccm
ImportError: No module named ccm

Any idea why I would be receiving this error?

I installed everything through AUR (nothing worked downloading from repo). My installed package list is as such:

local/ccsm-git 20070706-1 (compiz-fusion)
    Compizconfig Settings Manager in Python
local/compiz-bcop-git 20070706-1 (compiz-fusion)
    Compiz option code generator
local/compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-git 20070706-1 (compiz-fusion)
    Compiz Fusion Main plugins
local/compiz-fusion-plugins-main-git 20070706-1 (compiz-fusion)
    Compiz Fusion Main plugins
local/compiz-git 20070721-1
    Composite and window manager
local/compizconfig-python-git 20070706-1 (compiz-fusion)
    Compizconfig bindings for python
local/fusion-icon-git 20070706-2 (compiz-fusion)
    Simple tray icon for compiz
local/libcompizconfig-git 20070706-1 (compiz-fusion)
    Compiz configuration system library

I had Compiz working on here, but it crashed after I installed taskbar-compiz. The whole thing seemed hosed, so I uninstalled, removed all configs, and completely reinstalled. I seem to recall having this problem before as well, but I can't remember how I fixed it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

nesl247 · 2007-07-29 19:04:49

I'll be updating the ccsm pkgbuild soon as this movie is over which should fix the build issue for it.
