FYI: Beryl update information

brain0 · 2007-01-11 18:37:59

I was finally able to update beryl. There are some changes to be made:

* Delete your whole $HOME/.beryl, otherwise beryl-settings won't work
* beryl-vidcap hasn't been updated, as it makes the X server crash if it is installed (took me some time to find that out).

hi , i've updated gtk and beryl and deleted my .beryl like you said
but beryl-settings wont start , it says that it needs gtk module

so i'd like to know is it new that beryl-settings needs gtk module or i must to find out how to create this module (modprobe says that it doesn't exist) .. or there is some problem with gtk update ? :oops:
i ask that because before updating stuff i didn't notice the presence of gtk module and beryl-setings woked well :cry:

sorry for the stupid question, my bad englsh and thank you for your help !

As beryl-settings is python now, maybe it needs pygtk. I cannot really check for python dependencies, so they may be incorrect.

yep that was pygtk
everything seems to be fine now

thanks a lot !

I'm a bit confused about beryl: in the official repos there is beryl-svn, the stable version of beryl is in aur.
Shouldn't it be the other way round, or is there a reason for this?

Beryl cannot be called stable. The releases are milestones (features, etc.). The developers intend to go for a real stable release with version 0.2 if I got the blog entry right.

So, in the current state, the SVN versions is the one with the least bugs ...

EDIT: 2.0 --> 0.2

As explained in the wiki, beryl will hit extra with version 0.2. The first release candidate for 0.2 is scheduled for February 1st, so expect a release two or three weeks after that.

Thank you, I will add it to the dependencies for the next beryl build.

I didn't have to do this? Although I had a few things change on me (like wobbly windows had turned on).
