Thanks! Could you check that the /usr/share/compiz/cmake/CompizGSettings.cmake file exists? If not, this may be a Compiz issue.

Interesting. I compared your build cache to mine and the two GSettings variables were missing: http://i47.tinypic.com/2db7wwl.png

Both of those are defined in /usr/share/compiz/cmake/CompizGSettings.cmake

I'll look further into this.

EDIT: Btw, what glib are you using? pacman -Q | grep glib2

EDIT2: Does this give any output? grep -r CompizGSettings.cmake /usr/share/compiz

It should give:

$ grep -r CompizGSettings.cmake
cmake/plugin_extensions/CompizGenGSettings.cmake:include (${COMPIZ_CMAKE_MODULE_PATH}/CompizGSettings.cmake)

Maybe it's some cache Problem... though I usually delete the src-dir every time I update or rebuild, maybe I forgot it this time.
EDIT: Or maybe it was because of that compiz-thing yesterday... I'll try rebuilding unity again...
EDIT2:

$ pacman -Q | grep glib2
glib2 2.32.4-1
$ grep -r CompizGSettings.cmake /usr/share/compiz
/usr/share/compiz/cmake/plugin_extensions/CompizGenGSettings.cmake:include (${COMPIZ_CMAKE_MODULE_PATH}/CompizGSettings.cmake)

EDIT3: Seems, like it found GS correctly this time and the shemas are there, too:

 grep -i "Schema" CMakeCache.txt
//Disables gsettings schema installation
COMPIZ_DISABLE_GS_SCHEMAS_INSTALL:BOOL=OFF
//Disables gconf schema installation with gconftool
COMPIZ_DISABLE_SCHEMAS_INSTALL:BOOL=OFF
//Installation path of the gconf schema file
COMPIZ_INSTALL_GCONF_SCHEMA_DIR:PATH=
//Installation path of the gsettings schema file
COMPIZ_INSTALL_GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR:PATH=
GLIB_COMPILE_SCHEMAS:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas
//Install GSettings Schemas locally instead of to the GLib prefix
//Generate GSettings schemas

$ ls pkg/**/org.compiz*
pkg/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.compiz.networkarearegion.gschema.xml  pkg/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.compiz.unitymtgrabhandles.gschema.xml
pkg/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.compiz.unitydialog.gschema.xml        pkg/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.compiz.unityshell.gschema.xml

Maybe I shouldn't be doing upgrades at 5am anymore...

Glad you got it working

Hi there
I have start repo rebuild on clean environment, it takes about 2 hours for two architectures, so we will know soon, it's compiz cmake problem or there is no problem at all...

I think it was a PEBCAD-problem... caused by tiredness...

pekmop1024 · 2012-08-28 01:11:17

Hmm... all seems to be ok except compiz. It builds, but I can't switch window decoration, only default compiz decor on my x86_64.
And at clean Arch it never starts at all.

UPD. Seems that many things are broken with switch to gsettings. I've managed to start a few times on clean system, but without any repeatability of this event, many times it's stuck on X start, a few times I've got even hung X server. What about decor... I've got "compiz (decor) - Warn: failed to bind pixmap to texture" when try to change them.

May be we need some patience to wait for fixes. I can't upload so unstable packages to repo.

UPD2. When start compiz compile, I have some strange messages, as

CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
COMPIZ_DISABLE_GS_SCHEMAS_INSTALL

at the beginning, and error at the end

Failed to create file '/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled.YJ5IJW': Permission denied

The window decoration problem is caused because Compiz's gtk-window-decorator still reads the theme from GConf. The Ubuntu devs said that they will fix this soon. Other than that, I haven't had a single crash from Compiz or X. I know Compiz did get quite a few changes with regards to X drivers, so maybe that's causing the problem (I'm using Intel graphics).

Both of those messages are harmless They are in the Ubuntu build log too: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/11346098 … ING.txt.gz

may be it's problems with virtualbox drivers. As I said, on my x86_64 it runs well, except window decorations

Anyone using calibre (the ebook reader/managemet)? the latest update seem to crash unity somehow

edit: ahh... it's this bug the workaround doesn't work though.

I'm using unity on my desktop and it's working pretty well (Except some rare bugs ...)

Can you add some packages to Unity-Extra, like libreoffice-menubar, indicator support for empathy and evolution ?

Thanks for your great work !

Repo is updated.

Because of window decorations bug in compiz bzr3319 I have added to repo emerald 0.9.5 package.
If you want to change default compiz decor, just install emerald and in ccsm (window decoration -> command) change /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator to /usr/bin/emerald and restart compiz. Themes can be set in emerald-theme-manager.

Also I've updated qt-ubuntu to 4.8.2.0ubuntu6.

I thought Emerald have been discontinued for 0.9.*.

Great news. Best decorator out there for me.

oi_wtf · 2012-08-31 13:34:04

Well, it stopped working for a little time and it isn't really being continued.
At some time it started working again, but without compiz devs noticing,
so they wanted to remove that code from compiz, which enables emerald to work.

Luckily I build an emerald-package for Ubuntu precise, someone noticed that
and prevented them from removing that code...

So for now emerald still works, but it might stop working any time.

lol wut?

Latest update overwrote most of my settings. Need to start backing those up. Gonna take ages to reconfigure.

On the plus side, Scale for All Windows is finally working. Yay.

Hmm... I see some performance regressions in this build on my nvidia and came back to 21.08.2012 versions.
Let me know if anyone needs old packages too.

b9anders · 2012-08-31 23:08:34

Unity keeps crashing for me. Downgrading to something more stable would be nice.

pekmop1024 · 2012-09-01 01:48:48

Ok, then use as repo

http://unity.xe-xe.org/21082012/$arch

BTW, may be you are experiencing old config problems, try to run compiz.reset

UPDATE: I have some sort of mystics here... I tried to install again fresh packages and there is no more problems with performance of compiz.

I'm curious on how do unity knows that I need to upgrade my system, do they run pacman in the background?

pekmop1024 · 2012-09-01 13:38:01

Unity 6.4 is released, and window decoration bug in new compiz is fixed.

Actually, the updates are checked by the session indicator to show the "### Updates Available" menu entry. indicator-session talks to package managers using PackageKit (because it's cross-distro) and PackageKit talks to pacman

pekmop1024 · 2012-09-01 18:29:46

chenxiaolong, when you plan updates? I have some quick&dirty PKGBUILDs for 6.4, just new libunity-webapps, bamf, nux, compiz-ubuntu and unity.
I have good performance with this versions, much better than with nux 3.2, compiz 3319 and unity 6.2 and even better than compiz 3249, but unity indicator panel is without shadow. Maybe I need to rebuild some other packages?

I'm doing the updates right now More settings were moved to GSettings in Compiz and Unity this release, so I need to make sure that the GConf is removed properly (no extra entries in /var/lib/gconf/). I've finished the Compiz update already. The others should be done within an hour.

For the shadow issue: do you have nautilus running? Usually the shadow disappears if it's not running. It may also be an issue with this Compiz release as Ubuntu deprecated the following plugins: animationaddon, blur, colorfilter, cubeaddon, gears, group, loginout, reflex, stackswitch, thumbnail, trip, and wallpaper.

What the.... Why would they do that?

Compiz is more than just what Ubuntu needs for Unity.
