Hi Dave!

Here is the screenshot.

Man, thanks for the quick answer. The Arch Community is the best. I can learn Linux and improve my English at the same time....

Thanks for the smoother lesson...

LOL!

It looks like your problem is a known bug:

It might be worth watching the Ubuntu forums (since they have more users than us) to see if someone comes up with a fix:

If you find a fix, or see one posted in the Ubuntu forums, please post it here so others know about it!

Is it posible to get compiz-fusion to use your Metacity theme, like heliodor for beryl did?

I think so, although I don't know how. Emerald has much more configurable themes than Metacity anyway; see http://www.gnome-look.org/ for Emerald themes.

Great Dave!

Thank you very much for the shortcut!

Ok....this is a bug in Compiz and the Developers are looking after to solve, but for now this works for me:

By User emitchlpd from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482995:

I'm using the CompizConfig Settings Manager. In the Display settings, you want to disable "Detect Ouputs" and enter ONE output manually. This is what I have:
1600x1200+0+0,1600X1200+1600+1
There are a couple of things going on here. For one, having a *single* output is what gives you one cube. Having the 1600+1 (instead of 1600+0) is what prevents the cube from becoming 8 sided.
Please replace my "1600X1200" with the appropriate resolutions for your displays.

Now I can use Compiz-fusion using this trick. Isn't the perfect solution, but works.

Thanks again, Dave.

% gtk-window-decorator --replace &
gtk-window-decorator: error while loading shared libraries: libwnck-1.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How should I get rid of this error?

{ This first bit isn't strictly necessary, but I mention it in case you're unaware.

Check you have libwnck installed (you will, if it's a dependency):

$ pacman -Qs libwnck

The .so files should be in /usr/lib. You can verify this (or remind yourself of their location in the future) via:

$ pacman -Ql libwnck | grep .so

You'll probably have something like libwnck-1.so.18 installed. }

Try

$ su
$ pacman -Sy libwnck

to make sure you have the latest version, then try running gtk-window-decorator again.

If this doesn't solve your problem, then simply symlink (equivalent of windows shortcut) the existing libraries to the 'missing' ones, ie

$ ln -s /usr/lib/libwnck-1.so.18 /usr/lib/libwnck-1.so.22

and try running gtk-window-decorator again.

I think some of the more experienced 'nux users dislike this 'fix', but I've never had a problem with it. You just need to make sure that, in the future, when you install something and pacman outputs a message informing you a file already exists (ie. in the future when you upgrade libwnck) that you verify it's a symlink you made earlier, and delete it.

Make sure you're using the latest libwnck. If you're using my gnome repo, you must use compiz-gnome-devel-git and emerald-gnome-devel-git instead of emerald-git and compiz-git.

If you are using the latest libwnck, and are not using my gnome repo, I'll fix it today by recreating the packages so that it links against the right version of libwnck.

I just got compiz fusion installed (aiglx, nvidia, gnome), and it is awesome. I am loving it. Thanks to all that helped put this together. I am starting a howto/wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_fusion), but am not very good at it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's totally mint, isn't it! Blows Mac OS X animations out of the water, imo. Leopard's 'Spaces' animations suck in comparison XGL stuff.

I'm on a tight schedule for web dev I'm doing for a film director atm, so can't help with the wiki, sorry man. I'm sure someone else will volunteer...

The fusion-icon-git package doesn't contain the file fusion-icon-gtk.py.
I assume this is necessary for Gnome ?

nesl247 · 2007-07-04 20:19:15

I'll be updating the packages today, and it should fix that issue. The author fixed up the makefile, so it should work once I repackage.

A.I. BOT · 2007-07-04 21:35:13

I updated today, "compiz-manager" command is not found now. Whats the new command to start compiz-fusion?

low · 2007-07-04 21:36:19

fusion-icon (got your back nesl247 )

bjesus · 2007-07-04 21:38:17

hey, during some of the latest updates 'compiz-manager' was gone. Is it just on my machine? In what package is it supposed to be?

thanks.

low · 2007-07-04 21:41:53

fusion-icon

henriknj · 2007-07-04 21:56:17

I installed a fresh copy of compiz-fusion from nes1247's repo.
But when I started compiz with the following

compiz --replace..

compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

Anyone have had the same problem and know whats wrong?

You can see my xorg.conf here http://0xmilk.org/~hnj/xorg.conf
List of installed packages http://0xmilk.org/~hnj/installed_packages

Thanks!

The package currently on nesl247's server is missing fusion-icon-gtk.py for some reason. But if you go to his server and download his PKGBUILD for fusion-icon-git, you can build your own package with the fusion-icon-gtk.py file present. Or just wait for a bit and I'm sure his next build will be fine.

finferflu · 2007-07-05 00:41:48

Ok, thank you very much for your help. I think I am gonna wait, since I've added the repository, and I prefer to stick to that.
Thanks a lot

I've updated all the packages. fusion-icon-git should work now, as the author fixed the makefile today. For those of you who used compiz-manager, I removed compiz-icon-git which contained it. Instead I've opted to include crdlb's fusion-icon(-git is the package name). It's a better version, and is more modular. Plus it includes a qt interface, and a qt4 interface as well as gtk.

In the future it'll auto detect what one to load, but for now, you need to edit /usr/bin/fusion-icon to change the gtk to qt3 if you want a qt interface.

finferflu · 2007-07-05 02:33:00

Thanks a lot! It's working perfectly now

A.I. BOT · 2007-07-05 02:45:31

Thanks nesl, works now

TripleE · 2007-07-05 04:00:28

Just updated. Works for me too (on x86_64). Going to update the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_fusion) next.

Update: I tried on my i686 install, but fusion-icon (nor /usr/bin/fusion-icon) does not work:

# fusion-icon
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/../share/fusion-icon/fusion-icon-gtk.py", line 5, in <module>
    import gtk
  File "/home/jan/cvs/arch/build/lib/pygtk/pkg/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cairo/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from _cairo import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so: undefined symbol: cairo_copy_clip_rectangle_list

EDIT: Nevermind. I did not have cairo installed. I had to do a:

$ su
# pacman -Rd cairo-git
# pacman -Sy cairo

Maybe something to add/remove as a dependency?
