[quote="Original Thread about naming schema":cfe69]Hello, after the announce of the merge my packaging "work" for beryl-svn pratically stopped due to the lack of updates, but it seems that now there's something to work with, so I'm again here to make .debs for the ubuntu crowd :mrgreen:.

However, since now we start packaging something that is new (from a naming point of view), I'm here to ask how to name the packages that we'll build since there are no (yet?) informations (or debian/ folders) around to have a clear vision about this...

Actually I've ported my "makedebs" script to work with the OpenCompositing git and I've made the debian dirs tree needed to package the components... All works (quite well) and I'm testing this "pre-alpha" code in my machine, however before releasing anything I'd like to discuss how call these packages...

The actual situation is:

· Compiz is splitted into:
- compiz
- compiz-config-gnome
- compiz-config-ini
- compiz-core
- compiz-dev
- compiz-freedesktop
- compiz-gtk
- compiz-kde
- compiz-plugins
- libdecoration0
- libdecoration0-dev
A compiz (0.5) repository is actually up at http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/dists/feisty/eyecandy

· OpenCompositing / CompComm packages are actually:
- bcop # bcop dev tool, needed to generate settings code
- compcomm-ccs-plugin # ccp compiz plugin that manages the compiz settings
- compcomm-ccs-settings # CCS gtk settings editor
- compcomm-ccs-settings-gnome # gconf backend for CCS
- compcomm-ccs-settings-kde # python backend fo CCS
- compcomm-libccs0 # libccs that ccp uses to manage compiz settings (includes ini backend)
- compcomm-libccs-dbg # debug libs of libcss
- compcomm-libccs-dev # include files of libcss
- compcomm-plugins # the old beryl plugins ported to compiz
- compcomm-plugins-data # the plugins data
- compcomm-plugins-dbg # debug version of compcomm plugins
- emerald # Well, you know the rest... :)
- emerald-dbg
- emerald-themes
- libemeraldengine0
- libemeraldengine0-dbg
- libemeraldengine-dev
... ... ...

So, please, let me know how would you like these packages to be called.

When we'll have taken a decision I'll add the new CompComm packages at the same [u]eyecandy repository linked above... I could do it also if these tools aren't too stable (as now), because compiz will work in any case (as you'd know only the settings plugin will be different!)...[/quote:cfe69]

This is exactly the question. Treviño is asking us (actually, probably he is asking the developers) what name the packages should have.

[Treviño]

Yeah... I'm asking that... However, not only to developers, but to the community at all ;)

The mentioned debs are actually only in my Disk... I'd like to upload only working things :)

Bye 8)

[spupuz]

trev plz open msn cause i need more explaination :P

[t3rror]

The naming convention isn't that much of a concern to me. I will be able to learn and adapt to whatever you all decide. I am wondering what the upgrade path is for someone who has been using your since the inception under beryl? Are we going to be uninstalling beryl and then installing opencomm? Thanks, I am a little confused on all of this.

No, the two composite manager can coexist in the same machine...
You can use compiz (pure), beryl or compcomm with no problems...

If you want run compiz you do:
[code:b26b2]compiz --replace [gconf|ini][/code:b26b2]

For beryl
[code:b26b2]beryl --replace[/code:b26b2]

For Compcomm
[code:b26b2]compiz --replace ccp[/code:b26b2]

[spupuz]

installed packages given by trevino and started...
i know it's and alpha but it seems as beryl with some fuction not working.

hope to have asap a good repo to update and upgrade so can be possible to help in testing

[Treviño]

I was thinking...

What about putting a "compiz-" prefix to the compcomm package names I mentioned above as example (like compiz-compcomm-plugins)?
The only "problem" is that there could be some package with a very long name :roll:

[hanzomon4]

I don't care what you name them(prefix would be less confusing) I'm just grateful for your work. For the past two days I've been looking for news in regards to beryl. I couldn't get why the beryl forums were so quiet and the wiki's and blog devoid of news, It was like living in the bizzaro world http://ubuntuforums.org/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif

Back on topic if the project is under the compiz label a prefix would be much less confusing.

[Treviño]

I was thinking the same :)

However, for people that whould like to test my frist work on compcomm (not official in any way, nor supported) you could download this tarball: http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/xt ... est.tar.gz (http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/xtra-debs/compiz-compcomm+git20070502-3v1test.tar.gz)

Untar it and then install all the debs inside (needed, I mean not -dev,-dbg), maybe you should remove beryl-settings before (due to an incompatibility that I think will be fixed soon), then run:
[code:4c1fc]compiz --replace ccp[/code:4c1fc]
People using AiGLX with free (dri) drivers maybe should use:
[code:4c1fc]LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp[/code:4c1fc]

After this, simply run
[code:4c1fc]ccs-settings[/code:4c1fc]and configure CompComm as you need. Note that you should enable plugins like decoration, move, wobbly, rotate, cube & co to have a working environment...

Animation plugin and other ones haven't been added yet...

Bye!

EDIT: I've updated the packages tarball with newer builds, I've fixed some things in compiz script, now it should do the most, running only "compiz --replace" it should do the best job for you, and now it supports also kwin :P... Give a look to it for improving ;)

I have tried compiz on feisty with the default version, your repo version and the new one from the tarball but I can't get window borders. I always get this:

[quote:4c3d0]
Window manager warning: "" found in configuration database is not a valid value for keybinding "toggle_shaded"
gtk-window-decorator: Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0"
[/quote:4c3d0]

Beryl works fine though. Any ideas on how to get window borders working with compiz? Btw, I am using nvidia and aiglx.

nvidia doesn't work right with AIGLX
you should run nvidia/beryl
to get the borders with nvidia you add this to xorg.conf

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" ### add this for beryl
[/code:72aff]

Works just fine according to this: [url:ddf18]http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?t=90&highlight=nvidia[/url:ddf18]

[Jupiter]

Works just fine according to this: [url:5f042]http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?t=90&highlight=nvidia[/url:5f042]



actually that is not what it says at all
what it says is
[quote:5f042]
Since many people seem to be having problems with this, here is a complete guide on how to install the latest closed-source, binary nvidia drivers and compile the latest Compiz. No XGL/AIGLX is needed anymore.
[/quote:5f042]

and i suppose i should have said "nvidia/compiz" instead of nvidia/beryl
but the same rules apply

so if you follow what i posted to setup your nvidia correctly you
will probably get the decorations to work properly
there are other settings used for nvidia as well,,,, well documented in
the link you refrenced

[kakalaky]

Point being nvidia and compiz work. So, back to my question. Any ideas an how to get window borders working? Btw the thread I linked didn't help.

[Jupiter]

Point being nvidia and compiz work. So, back to my question. Any ideas an how to get window borders working?


as long as you have a decorator installed and make sure you have
the nvidia option i posted earlier it should work

what decorator are you using?
when you compiled the compiz, did it also compile the gtk-window-decorator?

there is some info in the link you referenced, have you read through the comments?

[Jupiter]

can you try and start compiz from command line and post whatever
it spits out "errors"

[kakalaky]

right now I have Treviño's .debs installed, but I have tried compiling and 3 different versions from repos. All have the same problem.

Oh yeah, Treviño, name them whatever you want. It makes no difference to me.

[Treviño]

Check you've loaded the "decoration" plugin, and that it's loaded in correct order...
Open Compiz in a terminal, then use ccs-settings to set it looking always at the terminal to see if compiz has something to say about the plugin you're working on :)

[kakalaky]

Got a little more info if it helps. I can pkill emerald while running beryl and then gtk-window-decorator will run fine. Switching to compiz I get the following over and over:

[quote:c0ab6]
(gtk-window-decorator:26254): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type (nil)
[/quote:c0ab6]

[kakalaky]

Thanks Treviño. I had forgotten to re-check the plugins after switching to the new packages. Now it works. Now if I just didn't have to remove beryl to install compcomm-css-settings this would be great. Then I could switch back and forth between beryl and compiz. Oh well. At least I got to play around for a bit. Thanks for the help everybody.

[vola]

I have a 'similar' problem, the decorator does not start.
If I start compiz with 'compiz --replace' all works fine but no decoration on windows,
so then if I start decorator manually with 'gtk-windows-decorator --replace &' after
compiz the borders goes up but the plugin gets the config from gconf.

Any ideas?

Other problem and questions:

- The compiz-settings uses ini backed ? (I think so..) Where are stored the configs?? I have no .compiz folders in my home...
- On starting there seems *some* plugin are loaded in a wrong order, i get errors in console that says cube must be loaded before scale so I need to disable scale for having cube + rotate working

Anyway thanks for packaging trevino, great work!

For the names, are not important for me, maybe a compiz prefix is more clear for locate the packages

[angalad]

Hi.
Treviño, thanks for the great work you are doing. I'll really love to try it. Any chance there will be AMD64 packages for Ubuntu soon? Is anyone doing something about it?
Please, excuse me if I sound like demanding things, but I think most people here is willing to ride on this new horse.
About the name, I think the compiz prefix is ok. Better to be more detailed than too short.

Thanks.

hallo,

[Treviño]

- The compiz-settings uses ini backed ? (I think so..) Where are stored the configs?? I have no .compiz folders in my home...

No, ccs uses a new settings plugin for compiz, different both to ini and (obiouvlsy) gconf that will remap the settings and that could use other backends. The default backend now is an INI backend that saves the settings in ~/.ccs (Default.ini), but from there (config file) could be set others backends to be used like gconf or kconfig, but for those you should have installed some ccs libraries (in /usr/lib/ccs/) that I've packaged with the names: compcomm-ccs-settings-gnome and compcomm-ccs-settings-kde (not good ones, I know... Cause they can be mismatched with configurators instead that with backends)...

- On starting there seems *some* plugin are loaded in a wrong order, i get errors in console that says cube must be loaded before scale so I need to disable scale for having cube + rotate working
[/quote:0ebfa] That depends on how ccs-settings works... There are still problems, maybe newer updates will fix them (however I've quite all working...)

i'm a liar. I posted only a few seconds after installing, it active updates the second time i ran compiz. my apologies.

Added:
alright messed with it for a while, found a few bugs (that are undoubtedly already known). I'm sure this is unnecessary, as it is an early product and you weren't expecting it to work perfectly yet, but if it helps any, here are the problems i came across. i quickly wrote these things down in emacs so the text formatting may be pretty sour, sorry:

1: with startup of ccs or emerald settings, a message repeats a handful (read: not infinite) number of times:
(gtk-window-decorator:2124): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type (nil)

(gtk-window-decorator:2124): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type (nil)

...


This warning is not a real problem, in compiz mailing list people says is caused by a non up-to-date lib in feisty, you need a cvs version of wnck if you want to avoid this, but don't worry it doesn't cause problems.

[quote:8fa20]
2: need to re-enable certain options by manually checking and unchecking sometimes for them to work, so far:
both rotating the cube using buttons 4/5 (scroll) on the mouse and the ring switcher very often stops working, and the latter will not restart without a full compiz --replace

3: Very slow to render windows, either when using application switcher (and selecting a big window, like firefox), or even scrolling down pages
(scrolling up and down ccs-settings itself took a significant fps hit) I'm about to look for a render to bitmap option, i remember something like that in beryl. if not i'll try re-enabling triplebuffer (i tried render text to texture). Its funny that all the 3d stuff runs smoothly, which is what i was looking for when i switched/reverted to/tried compiz again today, yet simple stuff like scrolling through text or a terminal bogs up the system.
[/quote:8fa20]

compiz run quite well here

[quote:8fa20]
4: benchmark tool crashes often, and can even slow the machine to a halt (easily sped up again by disableing it with its default keys)

5: most important - as its arguably one of the most useable/helpful aspects of these composite window managers - the scale plugin does not work, giving an error about the rotate cube plugin needing to be loaded after the desktop cube plugin, and scale before:
/usr/bin/compiz.real: 'cube' plugin must be loaded before 'scale' plugin
/usr/bin/compiz.real: Can't activate 'cube' plugin due to dependency problems
/usr/bin/compiz.real: 'cube' plugin must be loaded before 'scale' plugin
/usr/bin/compiz.real: Can't activate 'cube' plugin due to dependency problems
/usr/bin/compiz.real: 'rotate' plugin must be loaded after 'cube' plugin
/usr/bin/compiz.real: Can't activate 'rotate' plugin due to dependency problems
/usr/bin/compiz.real: 'rotate' plugin must be loaded after 'cube' plugin
/usr/bin/compiz.real: Can't activate 'rotate' plugin due to dependency problems

each time it is checked off.
[/quote:8fa20]

I have the same problem, I have disabled scale for have cube working, anyway I think it's better open another thread for this, is not related to the package.

[quote:8fa20]
6: obviously some features/feature combinations are missing, like the ability to not just make the windows transparent, but the cube as well, etc, but its nothing unexpected. I was looking more for performance than a feature list when i installed compiz today. It may verywell be possible and i'll look foolish when i figure it out tomorrow these features were in there somewhere.
[/quote:8fa20]

some features like animations and transparent cube are under work for porting into compiz.

[quote:8fa20]
I'll probably get the source tomarrow and try to look through the code to see if its something obvious (most likely). i won't have time to give it a good gdb - i'm already avoiding my finals - but it'll definately be helpful. anyway, the overall the speed of the program and the integration (for the most part) seems to be very well done for the early stage its at (this was put out there Very quickly). I'll probably stick with it over the other two for now. Good hybrid as is.
[/quote:8fa20]

[jmccarthy14]

I'm new to these forums (and prettymuch all forums), and new to this product. I used compiz early on for a long time on SuSe, but i was newer to linux then and i don't think i messed with compilation that much. So yeah, ignoring my awful excuses, sorry if i posted something redundant. None of them were intended to be complaints or anything i need solved, just put it out in case it was helpful in fixing up the new compcomm stuff. But yeah compiz works better scrolling through/reading text now, the app switcher is still a bit slower than beryl (and i believe thats the only thing i can say that for - it may just me my imagination and don't remember well) when remapping large windows. but right now i'm running the compiz git, trying to get rid of shadows/effects on my menus and dropdown menus - despite the new speed in compiz the slower menus was always something that bothered me in these composite managers, only because i knew it didnt have anything to do with any incapability of my system. I feel like it may just be the slight delay when rendering shadows to menus in beryl or compiz, but anyway thats another topic, like you said. As far as the features go, yeah i was expecting them to be ported soon/under work, i don't really know why i mentioned it.

[vola]

no problem :)

mine was only suggestions :)

[imported_karmapolice]

ccs is still too "expermiental" and unstable, you should try first gconf or ini as both backends are rock solid.

I don't have any problems with gconf and every plugin works.

For the loading problem you have try to edit your ini file with a text editor and put the plugins in the proper order.

[jmccarthy14]

yeah. i'm prettysure i checked the ini file when i was running this version, i didn't want to ask without at least looking for the problem myself. i don't knwo i've been messing around with too many versions so i'm running a find right now to get rid of all my compiz stuff (apt didn't handle it) and see if i completely reinstall compiz git will work for me. i found most of the problems i posted here for trev's new version stuck when i moved to compiz git. i dont know if it retained settings from this version (likely, since after removing both, even desktop effects kept the same problems, so it likely carried from this installation), so yeah im gonna try a clean make see if i can't fix these problems with the change desktop with window thing working. if anyone knows a surefire way to get rid of all beryl (i think i saw this somewhere, so not important) and especially compiz stuff, even from this deb set, i'd appreciate it. hopefully this 'find' will work out for me

Edit(again): hahaha alright well i think i will have ended up solving my own problem, probably a good thing since im sure you'r tired of getting a play by play on my system. I ran a rm -rf /usr/bin/compiz and accidentally - or stupidly, rather - removed my whole bin. rather than copying to a dd and recovering i may as well just reload feisty again. will probably end up running fine this time.

[ComradeTim]

I installed using your packages and when I try to run compiz it says "compiz: Unable to parse XML metadata from file "compiz.metadata". None of hte compiz plugins seem to actually be working - I can confirm at least that decorations and minimize/close effects won't work.

I tried to completely uninstall compiz and start over but even after I've uninstalled it still tries to run compiz in exactly the same way as it woudl when it was supposed to be installed. I don't know if this is causing any part of the error.

[Treviño]

I've tried to use your repo -> "deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy 3v1n0" but the compiz version didn't work for me, I'm currently using the version from official ubuntu repositories and it works fine (except for the widget plugin) but when I try to use the version from your repo I get the "no manageable screens found" error :(

[Treviño]

If you're using the mesa dri drivers for ATi/Intel run compiz with:
[code:af850]LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace gconf[/code:af850]

[davim]

thanks for the reply :) but I get the same error :(

BTW: my card is an ATI x200M and I'm using XGL

[enigma_0Z]

A few questions:

1. The packages for feisty for CompComm and friends--are they ready for the masses?
2. Can they coexist with ubuntu.beryl-project.org's beryl packages?
3. Should/must I uninstall bery before installing compiz/compcomm
4. Is there a place (web site) that I can go to see the current status of the merge?

[/quote:b8727]
1. From using Treviño's debs, I'd say no.
2. Use Treviño's latest debs and they can coexist. The first debs he posted required me to remove beryl but the second set did not.
3. See 2
4. Check here and at compiz.org

Any news?

[Treviño]

Well, not too much, but yesterday I contacted again Amaranth, and he said me that he's firstly packaging for Gutsy, so he isn't so hurry about this... So I think that now we can start using what we have...
In future I could change the name, if a common name will ever come out!

Bye!

thanks for the update, Tervino. Am I right to assume that you will update your repository anytime soon?

[Treviño]

That's what I'd like to do, I'm just waiting the ccsm to be fixed... :P

[davim]

I've eared that you've solved your problems with the settings manager -> viewtopic.php?f=16&t=297&p=2554#p2554 (http://forums.opencompositing.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=297&p=2554#p2554)
can we expect the ubuntu repo any soon?

sorry for the pressure, I'm anxious :P

[Azrael Nightwalker]

Everyone is waiting (im)patiently :D

It seems that something is moving from the naming point of view, so... Just other few days of patience... :)

edit: NM, its ccsm now instead of ccs-settings
ccsm is not a replacement... However, the seg fault isn't normal (it works here), did you upgrade all correctly?

Try to run it using gdb..

[kakalaky]

Everything is upgraded correctly. gdb ggoes through adding the plugins then I get a segfault with this output:

[code:32056]Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

[humufr]

Hi,

thanks for the package, I have been able to try the new compcom.

Some remarks I have excactly the same effet when I'm trying to open ccs-setting from an xterm"segmentation fault" but, and this is perhaps important for you, that work when you are opening from the menu. Strange but ....
The second one is that only emerald are working fine for decoration, I'm using AIGLX with an ATI and I have some white stuff instead of shadow when I'm using gnome or kde decoration. Another thing you know if a sofware like beryl-manager is expecting? Because beryl manager is not working with the new compiz but it was so useful to be able to switch from one system to another or change the decorations etc... The last remark is jus to tell that the plugin widget is not there and it's a sort of a problem because I love screenlets :).

Anyway good job, I hope that will be stable and that the installation will be a little bit more smooth so we can really try the plugins and found the bugs.

[Tyler]

Thanks for the update Treviño.

Gives me the same errors as gwd. I don't think I miss some packages because they were working till this update...

[foxy123]

I wonder if some effects which I loved in beryl will make to commcomp? I mean rotating the cube with mouse wheel or middle button for example. Or they could be enabled in some way already?

[Treviño]

The second one is that only emerald are working fine for decoration, I'm using AIGLX with an ATI and I have some white stuff instead of shadow when I'm using gnome or kde decoration.
I have too the same configuration, I don't know if this is due to ATi, but (I think) it's the same bug that affects KDE users when they do a drag&drop (look at the icon, there's no content, only white!)
I'm sure this was fixed on latest beyl, but also on latest compiz... Now the bug is come back, if you can please post it on freedesktop's bugzilla ;)

Please non-ATi (AiGLX) users, report about this!
Another thing you know if a sofware like beryl-manager is expecting? Because beryl manager is not working with the new compiz but it was so useful to be able to switch from one system to another or change the decorations etc...

The decorations don't start, when I try to launch a decorator from the command line I get those warnings but the decorations don't appear.

[Treviño]

Mh, are you sure that the decoration plugin is loaded? :roll:

[Tyler]

[quote="Treviño":7792e]Mh, are you sure that the decoration plugin is loaded? :roll:[/quote:7792e]
Indeed it's working now. My mistake is that I checked if decoration was loaded through gconf-editor and it was, but now I started ccsm and all the plugins were disabled, I enabled decoration and the main others and I got it working again :D One thing I noticed is that beryl-manager doesn't respond anymore if compiz is enabled. I should use go-compiz-tray-icon but it hasn't the "reload kde-window-decorator" option, it only reloads metacity.

Btw are you planning making a deb for go-compiz tray icon? Not that it's difficult to install (it's a python executable) but just to have all packages ;)

Thanks again for the packages and the support Treviño.

PS
Btw why we have now ccs-settings and ccsm? It's just confusing...

Edit about the tray-icon: just checked the last version and it implements that feature now, great :D

ccsm is opened from the menu item that is created, not ccs-settings. At least thats how it was when I installed the packages and would explain why one works and the other doesn't.

[markob]

Maybe the dumbest question here, but how do you install the debs from .gz? One-by-one or is there a faster and less confusing way? Thank you kindly :)

EDIT: Nevermind, FINALLY figured it out, duh! (dpkg -i *)

[Treviño]

Yes, as I've written in the related topic, however now it isn't so usable yet and also it lacks of functionality imho, a lot of work should be done to make it something like beryl manager... So I'm waiting for a better code :)

[code:34afb]Btw why we have now ccs-settings and ccsm? It's just confusing...[/code:34afb]They've a different approach from the technical point of view, the first is written in C and directly uses the libccs to manage compiz, the second is written in python and uses some python bindings that are linked to libccs too...
Maybe the dumbest question here, but how do you install the debs from .gz? One-by-one or is there a faster and less confusing way? Thank you kindly :)
If you don't want debug or development version packages, simply do:
[code:34afb]tar xf <file.tar.gz>
cd debs
mkdir disabled
mv *-{dev,dbg}*.deb disabled/
sudo dpkg -i *.deb[/code:34afb] ;)


:( I thought that all good stuff from Beryl will end up in commcomp.
We should say this to DavidR and his little crew, simply he manages the core and so some core plugins and feature won't ever changed by compcomm (or will go "back" to something similar to beryl :P)

Bye

[Treviño]

I've updated the compiz package adding some patches from previous ubuntu builds and some optimized settings I defined to get a better compiz experience :P; finally I've also added a workaround that allows DRI dirvers users (ATi/Intel) using AiGLX to get shadow borders (no more white!) in menus and panels using {gtk,kde}-window-decorator!

Download at: http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/xt ... est.tar.gz (http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/xtra-debs/compiz-compcomm+git20070531-3v1test.tar.gz)

I think also that time is coming for starting a compiz-git repository (where will be added the compcomm packages, then...)

[Tyler]

Thanks Treviño, always the best :D
They work perfectly ;)

Can you list and describe the patches and the optimizations you did? I'm curious to know :)

[Treviño]

Sure, also if I'll post then in a .tar in a near future:

Thanks Treviño, always the best :D
They work perfectly ;)
They don't work on my laptop.
I can always blame ATI for that :D

[Treviño]

Mhmhm... What's wrong?
Any output?

Which rendering method are you using? With AiGLX on ati they work perfectly!

[foxy123]

Thanks a lot for the updated packages. They work fine. A couple of problems. Firstly all launched applications are initially positioned on the upper edge of the screen behind a panel. I have attached a screenshot. Another thing, is not a plugin which allows to set window attributes by various criteria available in compiz. I like to assign a specific viewport for some applications. The third question I have already asked, but still, does anyone know how to use key bindings to assign a mouse wheel to rotate a cube?

[Azrael Nightwalker]

[quote="Treviño":b7e01]Mhmhm... What's wrong?
Any output?

Which rendering method are you using? With AiGLX on ati they work perfectly![/quote:b7e01]
I can't use AIGLX because my card (ATI Radeon Xpress 200M) is not supported by the open driver.
What I get is
[code:b7e01]compiz: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz: No manageable screens found on display :1.0[/code:b7e01]
Even when I run it by the following command:
[quote:b7e01]LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp[/quote:b7e01]
Beryl works, Compiz doesn't.
What can I do?

[Treviño]

You're right it isn't supported (yet, also if with latest drm mesa) it can make some 3D apps working...

However, I don't know how is for Xgl, but surely you don't need the indirect rendering, maybe you should preload the fglrx library... A ldd /usr/bin/compiz.real can help...

Did the previous compiz builds run there? I don't remebmer :P

Foxy, about first problem say me if ccsm -> ; About the mouse wheel I've to look to the options, but I think that it can't be done without patching, finally about opening an application in a certain position, there's the "place" plugin for that that can solve also your problem (try to set the arrangement to "Smart", that I'll set to default in next version ;))...

the place plugin fixed it. Thanks a lot.

It used to be also 'state' plugin which allowed to put apps on certain viewport.

I've come across this on the compiz forum:
[quote:3c175] Wed Dec 06, 2006 7:54 pm subject: Edge + mouse button functionality now working Reply with quote
As of today's git the edge + mouse button functionality is now working Smile

This means that you can assign actions to edges but only with a mouse button. You can use this to do 3 things at the moment.

1. Use the switcher with the mouse wheel whilst you are on the top of the screen (no more rsi from alt+tab).
2. Rotate the cube with the mouse wheel, when on left or right edge.
3. Activate switcher with TopRight and right mouse button (no more misfires with the corners)

To activate these features you need to set the edge and an edgebutton. eg. to rotate the cube with the wheel when on right or left.

Change rotate/allscreens/options/rotate_left_edge and rotate_right_edge to Left and Right.

Change rotate/allscreens/options/rotate_left_edgebutton to 4 and rotate/allscreens/options/rotate_right_edgebutton to 5.

Please have a play with the settings and see if there is anything that you would like to do with edge + mouse which isnt possible at the moment (each action needs to be individually enabled).[/quote:3c175]

I'm guessing they won't get added until we have an actual name for the packages (i.e. when the Name thread comes to completion).

Foxy, there's a question on compiz ML about what you asked, so stay tuned and I think you'll find an answer soon!

However, newer packages:

I think that soon we can have the new coral packages ;)

If you want, please test only the compiz git, so if it works (using standard ways) I can add it to the repo from now on...!

PS: I've added a new compiz.wrapper loader based on Krinstan's script ;)

[Treviño]

[quote="arthur_kalm":5de4d]Will you be creating a repository after a name is chosen Treviño?[/quote:5de4d]
Sure... For compiz I could do it now too,but I'd need some test reports on the compiz packages I posted before...

And about the repository division, what do you prefer?

eyecandy - contains all the bleeding edge packages

OR

compiz-git compiz git pachages
coral-git - compcomm packages (I think they will be coral)

I'm for the first one, there's no need to divide packages, since there are no conflicts...

[foxy123]

I would vote for the first option as well.

[kakalaky]

Compiz works fine here. The compcomm packages seem to be working well also. Ccsm and ccs-settings are working for me.

[Treviño]

Foxy and Tyler, check if you've installed my latest packages both for compiz and compcomm...!
They should be the latest, then running compiz --replace all will work!

Azrael Nightwalker To load the ccp plugin you should install the needed compcomm packages:
- libccs0
- ccs-plugin
- ccs-settings (or python-ccs + ccsm)

[Tyler]

Compiz and Compcomm work. My only problem is that error with ccsm. Just tried to reinstall all the new packages now, but it's the same. I can wait till the next git packages, I don't need ccsm atm ;)

Never mind your suggestions worked,

[Treviño]

Sorry for the errors above, it was due to sh, you should have replaced the !#/bin/sh with !#/bin/bash, however, now I've replaced the packages with new versions including a new loader script...

The second script was due to the keybinding plugin provided by ubuntu patches (from gutsy, but it seems buggy so I removed it), now all works correctly here using ccp, gconf or ini as well!

Try them and let me know how they work! ;)

Bye!

PS: We're starting, some errors could be normal :P

[hanzomon4]

Cool, I installed the compcomm packages on page 10(?) and when I loaded the ccs-settings manager all of the plugins were missing options and I couldn't really do anything with it. I'll try it again with the new compiz packages...

[foxy123]

after update I have the following error:
[code:71a6e]~$ compiz --replace ccp

[Treviño]

Foxy, the ccp packagest haven't been recompiled, please try using gconf or ini for testing :)

[hanzomon4]

Alright some things work others don't...

I was able to install the compcomm-plugins-main and the compiz-ccsm, I also installed the gconf backend for ccsm. That does not work, if you use the gconf backend you won't be able to start ccsm. The ini backend works pretty good and most configuration options work. Animation is the only one that I can't configure. I don't even know where to find the events(Create, Close, Shade, Minimize, etc). The area that you use to specify the particular effect, for whatever event, has no drop down menu and typing the name of the effect you want doesn't produce any results. Everything else works.

So checkout the Animation settings in ccsm...

EDIT: I fixed the problem with ccs-settings by installing compiz-ccs-settings-legacy and still Animation settings have no effect..

Even if I remove all of the plugins or run it --replace ini or --replace gconf, it still segfaults.

Any ideas, thoughts? I am running Feisty.

[Treviño]

Try to remove your gconf configuration as said above, however Xgl doesn't need the --indirect-rendering parameter, nor the LD_PRELOAD using my packages...

Simply run --replace ini or --replace gconf (try also adding a "-v" to get more info on what's going on! [and then post it here :P])

Bye

[Treviño]

Well, now that libccs as been renamed to libcompizconfig I've decided to release all related that in my compiz-git repository, so to upgrade to compiz and compizconfig use the Compiz-Git repository[/url:a190b].
You'll simply need to launch:[code:a190b]sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager[/code:a190b], then you'll have both compiz and ccsm (CompizConfig Settings Manager) installed... To run compiz just do
[code:a190b]compiz --replace [ccp][/code:a190b](ccp is not needed, see compiz -h for more infos); use ccsm to set it!

Extra compcomm packages are at:
[url="http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/xtra-debs/compiz-compcomm-name-in-progress/compcomm-plugins+git20070612.tar.gz"]http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/xt ... 612.tar.gz (http://compiz.org/Compiz_GIT_Ubuntu_Repository:a190b)

Well, if the naming battle will take too long, I think I'll put the compcomm packages with this name in the repo, then I'll move to something else...

[Tyler]

Great news Treviño, glad that the project dedicated and official page to that :D
Updated both compiz with the new settings and the compcomm extra plugins, everything is working fine, thanks.

About compcomm I think nobody would mind having them in the repo and when the new name comes out just deleting them and replacing them with the new named stuff.

[Treviño]

Well, thanks for thanking :P however the wiki page isn't official... I simply made that :)

For compcomm stuff I'm always thinking what to do, however I'll wait a little more... Until then I'll finish the build system and I'll fix bugs on the wrapper (loader) script...
I hope you'll find all this on git as soon as I can ;)

[Jairo Serrano]

with compiz --replace ccp, mi compiz has a coredump with "not categorized" plugin... jeje

compiz --replace works very well but its slow.... im triying more options now :)

thanks!

[Treviño]

To see how compiz is really launched, use compiz -v --replace

[jackkerouac]

THe new packages work awesome for me. I love the new expo plugin. Is there some sort of taskbar plugin to launch ccsm?

[cookieofdoom]

Thanks!

Everything works for me except the window decorations. Emerald floods me with "(emerald:6799): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type (nil)" errors. I'm running on Kubuntu, so I'm not sure if it's a packages thing or if it's just me being stupid.

I also love the new expo plugin. It looks amazing.

Thanks again!

[Treviño]

Not yet... When compiz icon will be ready for this kind of packages, I'll add it!

[zekopeko]

i'm really confused with this packaging. i have ubuntu feisty installed and trevino's repo added to my sources list.
i have compiz/commpcomm installed but would like to "clean the house" from packages i don't need/are confusing me.

here is the list of all the compiz packages installed on my computer:
http://marvin.kset.org/~zekopeko/compiz/Screenshot.png

and please tell me if i should open a new thread or not for this.

thnx in advance

How do I do this? Can't find it anywhere.

Plus, is there an option to scale minimised windows as well? Can't find that either.

Great work Treviño!

It's usually in System > Preferences if installed, but if it isn't there try this :

Alt-F2 > 'ccsm'

Also, showing minimized windows in scale has been taken out due to its hacky nature. (It literally unminimizes windows during scale mode, and doesn't map them properly. This causes performance problems)

Hehe... I know where *that* is, I wondered where I should put compiz --replace [ccp] in ccsm.

Ah. Hoping it returns in a less hacky way then :-)

I seem to be at the end of my rope here. Has anyone gotten window decorations working with CompComm on KDE? I can start a new thread if I need to, though I wouldn't know where to do that.

[hanzomon4]

I can't set the wall plugin in ccsm.

[Tyler]

I do. Did you enable the decoration plugin in ccsm?

[cookieofdoom]

I'd feel so dumb if I had forgotten that, but sadly it doesn't seem to be my problem. Here's the output of # emerald --replace

alrighty i have ur repo and installed this by:

so does thi smean everytime compcomm is updated i will be notified in ubuntu and i can easily upgrade compcomm?

[cookieofdoom]

Unless the name changes you should be fine... I think..

[Tyler]

sorry double post, this one can be deleted :oops:

[Tyler]

Look at this screenshot Treviño:

When I have some windows open they look semitrasparent and I don't like it. I edited some options about opacity in ccsm but they come back later... is it the effect of one of your patches? How can I remove this effect?
Thanks

[cookieofdoom]

Okay, so I got rid of the [code:6491c]X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
Major opcode: 147
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
Major opcode: 147
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device[/code:6491c] problem. They were part of my xorg.conf file and I found a fix. That had nothing to do with my error, though. I've traced it to the wnck error. libwnck seems to be not happy with me for some reason. If anyone else has more information, I'd appreciate it. This is a pretty fresh install of Kubuntu 7.04 so I might just be missing a file?

[mauro21]

when I type compiz --replace i have this error

and these plugins don't work... why?

EDIT: I deleted /home/mauro/.compiz/plugins and now all go

[Treviño]

Until there's a new name compcomm-plugins* packages won't be updated by repository... I could also add them and then renaming, but I'd prefer not to make this....

Then Tyler , go in General and set the transparency value to 100, and all windows won't have transparency...

[Tyler]

In this way also menu and pop up don't have trasparency.
It's because of the settings in General. They came alone and I can't decide which elements should be trasparent.

[Treviño]

Unfortunately this is the only way we have... :(

A basic string could be[code:ec440]Unknown | Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | Tooltip | Notification | Combo | Dnd[/code:ec440] but I haven't tested it for all the apps... Unknown, then, can have problems with java apps and others :/

[cookieofdoom]

I'm an idiot, for the record. I did not have AddRGBAVisuals or whatever it is in my device section of my xorg.conf... The tutorial for Beryl in the ubuntuguide says to put it in the screen section (looking back that seems kind of silly). So if you're having the same problem I am (no window decorations) make sure that you've added it to your xorg.conf

Sorry to clutter up this thread with my stupidity. :(

EDIT: I almost forgot. Thanks for the help that was offered, and thanks Treviño for doing all that you do.
