Compiz

Hello,

I have installed Arch about 3 days ago.
I like this 'Archie warchie'.
Just struggling to get compiz to work.
I have fusion icon. When I select compiz as wm I lose window borders and system freezes up a bit. Emerald does not apply themes and also freezes.
It's fine with metacity. I tried everything in the beginners guide. When I ran compiz-check it said no rendering.
Am I right in suspecting I have installed the wrong graphics driver?. My card in nvidia 9500 gt so heres how I installed the driver..pacman -S nvidia.
Next I ran nvidia-xconfig.
I have edited xorg.conf a bit too. Commented out type1 fonts and load dri, driver says 'nvidia'.
I have the current version of Arch x86_64 with gnome on top.
P.s I don't know tons about Linux. I am an ex vista and Ubuntu user.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Compiz

is compositing enabled in your x session? maybe you could post your xorg.conf so people could see if there are any obvious mistakes?

Re: Compiz

Thank you for the reply..yes here is xorg.conf.
I don't know where all these mode lines have come from.

Re: Compiz

Try changing the Depth 32 to 24 at "screen" section.

32 is not a valid depth value. The videocard always uses a 24bit depth value to render 32bpp color.

Re: Compiz

Changed depth to 24..still no luck.
Same problems.
Colours look better though. (Ty).
I know compiz is not essential but it should work on this.

Re: Compiz

...and you're sure that "Window Decorations" are checked in the Compiz Settings?

Re: Compiz

I love you Matt! big_smile
That really did help. Now the windows are decorated with emerald theme.
I can't move the window though. i.e. I cannot drag it via the title bar. It has fixed it's position. Shall I poke around in compiz settings to fix that?.

[edit] Done..oops [SOLVED].  It was just another setting in compiz.

Thank you all. you have been very kind to this noob.

Re: Compiz

Don't want to start a new topic because I have just a simple question to ask:
How long does it take you to start compiz-fusion? I'm using fusion-icon to get it started and it loads for full 9 seconds, I don't know whether it is my boot-time paranoia or maybe that's how this is meant to be.

Re: Compiz

Hey guys,

I am new to Archie (installed it yesterday) and I like it very much so far. Have been trying to get compiz to work after I fixed an issue with slim today (God bless this forum smile). Namely, I enable window decorations under effects and still no borders. Emerald hangs on switching themes too.

Here's my compiz --debug output (libcore.so is missing, have no idea why):

$ compiz --debug
compiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /home/vigolino/.compiz/plugins/libcore.so : No such file or directory
compiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /usr/lib/compiz/libcore.so : No such file or directory

Re: Compiz

Try using "compiz --replace" and "emerald --replace" or "fusion-icon"/"compiz-manager".

Thanks for a quick reply. I tried all these commands and still no borders. I switch back to OpenBox (using fusion-icon) and all borders are back.

Here are the combined outputs:

Re: Compiz

Be sure to check whether window decoration is enabled in compiz config.

I tried what the wiki said. My bit depth is 24 and I did set Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" & Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True" in the Screen section of xorg.conf but that didn't fix it. I think it has something to do with that missing libcore.so but the only reference to the problem that I found so far is a bug report here: http://www.nabble.com/-Bug-49537--compi … 82017.html

Yup it's enabled. But no borders yet.

Re: Compiz

It works!! For whatever reason rebooting the machine made it work, while restarting X didn't. Thanks everybody for help!

Re: Compiz

Hey guys,

I have another problem with starting fusion-icon on startup and I have tried the wiki solution and all solutions (that I could find) proposed on the forum.

My last resort was doing 'exec fusion-icon' directly in ~/.xinitrc but it still won't start it on startup.

Here's what my ~/.xinitrc looks like:

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

numlockx &

exec ck-launch-session startlxde
exec fusion-icon

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice

I am probably making some stupid mistake, but I just can't see what's wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Re: Compiz

Could it be that exec fusion-icon is somehow ignored because there is already one exec statement before it? It's frustrating hmm Can't think of what else to do. I am starting fusion-icon manually for now, but would really like to do it at startup along cairo-dock.

Re: Compiz

ck-launch-session startlxde &
exec fusion-icon

Try making it this way, or just add fusion-icon to your session manager startup if you have one.
