Compiz fusion used to work...

Compiz has worked for me before.
Does anyone know what this means?

Re: Compiz fusion used to work...

I installed compizconfig-backend-kconfig. That fixed part of it.
Here's what happens now. Can anyone please help me?

Seems to me like problem with permissions on that file... check with 'ls -la '/home/coda/.config/compiz', should by owned by you, and rwx permissions for the owner.
EDIT: eh, it's a directory and not a file.

Re: Compiz fusion used to work...

Woops, I ran fusion-icon as root by mistake...
Thanks for replying quickly. I did that and now I have another problem.

[coda@linux ~]$ fusion-icon
* Detected Session: kde
* Searching for installed applications...
* NVIDIA on Xorg detected, exporting: __GL_YIELD=NOTHING
* Using the GTK Interface
* Decorator "" is invalid.
* Setting decorator to Emerald ("emerald --replace")
* Starting Compiz
... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
compiz (core) - Error: dlsym: /usr/lib/compiz/libccp.so: undefined symbol: getCompPluginInfo20070830
compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'ccp'
* Setting window manager to KWin

Something wrong with the plugin.
I have libcompizconfig installed....What could it be?

Re: Compiz fusion used to work...

Your config is making reference to some inexistent plugin I guess. Did you got that config from someone else?

Anyway, you can remove /home/coda/.config/compiz

rm -dfr ~/.config/compiz

and then start compiz again, it will then start with default configuration again.

Re: Compiz fusion used to work...

The config was generated by myself.
I removed it, and the same problem occured.
I do have emerald and emerald-themes installed if you wonder that.

Re: Compiz fusion used to work...

Ok, looking at this topic: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=328029 I see that there's something wrong with the current version of Compiz Fusion.
Unfortunately I don't have the old version in my cache. (I just installed today.) Is there a place where I can download the old version of Compiz Fusion?

Re: Compiz fusion used to work...

Unfortunately, that mirror has the latest version of compiz on it.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix my problem, please post them.

Re: Compiz fusion used to work...

Ah sorry, the i686 version on that site is 0.6.2 (the one you want), but x86_64-one is 0.7.0. OK, so I shared my 0.6.2-4 from my local cache at *i took it down, sorry*. I'll leave it there for a couple of hours.

EDIT: I guess I forgot to say that my local package is x86_64.

Re: Compiz fusion used to work...

No problem. Keep it in the cache, I'm going to take that file down.

Re: Compiz fusion used to work...

When you wobble your windows, does it ever look really choppy at first then suddenly speed up with you?
I have that problem all of the time. It's nothing terrible, but I would like to know if there's a solution for this.

Re: Compiz fusion used to work...

I think it happens to me from time to time... but not too often (like now, I couldn't make it choppy). It happened a bit more often on the desktop, which has 512M memory - so I had the impression that (compiz being a huge program) some parts of it got swapped, and then it took a bit of time until that particular thing loaded back into the active memory. But I might be totally wrong...
