Ubuntu edgy and feisty compiz repos note

[gandalfn]

hi,

I updated edgy and feisty repos with lastest compiz (- extra) and gnome-compiz-manager (- extra) version.

The new edgy packages are now based on my work on feisty packages. Then they are renamed of compiz-freedesktop to compiz. I made 2 meta-packages for update, if you have already installed compiz-freedesktop just upgrade :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Elsewhere install compiz like this :

sudo apt-get install compiz gnome-compiz-manager compiz-extra gnome-compiz-manager-extra

The packages include now the new kde-window-decorator, you can install compiz for KDE like this :

sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-plugins compiz-extra compiz-extra-plugins compiz-kde

For lack of time, I must, unfortunately, stop support of edgy stable and dapper repos, you should now consider them as deprecated and replace your source.list in edgy like this :

deb http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu edgy dev

and in feisty like this :

deb http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu feisty motu

Thanks Gandalfn! I'm already using the 0.3.6 packages from the edgy dev repo and everything is running smooth! :D

Hey gandalfn, thanks for the great repos you set up :-)

I just updated my edgy install to 0.36 and now some of the windows, like evolution, firefox and banshee are black. But if I disable compiz they are fine. And whenever I turn on compiz they either go black or a black when I launch the program :(

any ideas?

For some reason Cube is disabled by default with recent packages.

This ought to be remedied. Just making you aware. =)

hi, I get this error message when trying to install:

gnome-compiz-manager-extra: Depende: libgnome-compiz-manager pero no es instalable
E: Paquetes rotos (broken packages)

Yeah I get the same error

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome-compiz-manager-extra: Depends: libgnome-compiz-manager but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


I think the problem is the mane of the package libgnome-compiz-manager that is named libgnome-compiz-manager0


BTW: could you update the feisty repos? at least the widget plugin, the one in the repos crashes when adding a screenlet to the widget layer, there is a newer version of this plugin that works fine...

Yeah, I tried to build a new package from the source package, and changed the dependency from libgnome-compiz-manager to libgnome-compiz-manager0. However, I ran into a build issue that I couldn't figure out...

I'll try and find that error message and see if anyone can help.

[davim]

when will you update the feisty repository for the new compiz compiz release?

[Neffscape]

I'm getting the same error too, I'm unable to install gnome-compiz-manager-extra because that library is missing... by the way, when will you update your repos? Gandalfn! Are you there?
