[FIXED]Compiz Fusion issue

when I do "fusion-icon" it says Permission denied:

as following :

fusion-icon
 * Detected Session: gnome
 * Searching for installed applications...
Backend     : gconf
Integration : true
Profile     : default
Adding plugin decoration (decoration)
Initializing decoration options...done
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from start import wms, apps, options, decorators, init, env

    self.write(open(self.config_file, 'w'))
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/alex/.config/compiz/fusion-icon'

Has anyone got that problem? do I need to add my user into any group that I don't know?
Please help

Re: [FIXED]Compiz Fusion issue

Try running this as root.

/etc/rc.d/dbus start

Before running this, make sure you have dbus installed.

pacman -S dbus

To make dbus always start, just add dbus to the daemons section in your /etc/rc.conf file.

Re: [FIXED]Compiz Fusion issue

I have dbus and it's on my daemon list already, but it doesnt work

When I run fusion-icon as root I get dbus Exception :

[root@myhost alex]# fusion-icon

Re: [FIXED]Compiz Fusion issue

Try running

compiz --replace ccp

This might help you tell if the problem is with compiz or with "fusion-icon"

Re: [FIXED]Compiz Fusion issue

The first issue is happening because you first tried starting fusion-icon as root. 

Try this as root.

rm -r /home/alex/.config/compiz/

Then, not as root, run fusion-icon and it should get rid of that error.

Re: [FIXED]Compiz Fusion issue

That's because each user has their own config files listed under their home, Remaking them will fix this problem.

Re: [FIXED]Compiz Fusion issue

Ok the permission problem has been fixed, now I get another error

$ fusion-icon
 * Detected Session: gnome
 * Searching for installed applications...
Backend     : gconf
Integration : true
Profile     : default
Adding plugin decoration (decoration)
Initializing decoration options...done
 * No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
 ... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!

    if not self.Xgl and self.glx_vendor == 'NVIDIA Corporation':

I installed Xgl , but I don't know how to use it , I've read the wiki, changed my /etc/gdm/custom.conf file as supposed in Method 1 (GDM) and rebooted.

Then a window asking for a host appeared, what do I have to do there?

Re: [FIXED]Compiz Fusion issue

Why Xgl? I think you would be better with AIGLX, you would just have to run this as root:

nvidia-xconfig --composite --add-argb-glx-visuals

Then just check your xorg.conf so it would look somethin like this:

Section "Module"
  [...]
  Load "glx"
  Load "extmod"
  #Load "dri"    #should be commented out
  #Load  "GLcore"    #should be commented out
  [...]
EndSection

[...]

Section "Device"
  Driver "nvidia"
  [...]
  Option "RenderAccel" "True"    #recommended if using the nvidia-71xx driver, enabled by default with newer drivers
  Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"    #only if using the nvidia-71xx driver
  [...]
EndSection

[...]

Section "Screen"
  [...]
  Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
  [...]
EndSection

[...]

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

See ya
