OK -- did people have to do anything special to get quinnstorm to work? I use the startxgl script in the overlay

edit -- let me make this more useful. compiz quinn starts fine, but cgwd does not. There are dbus related errors. People on the #xgl irc channel said i need to modify my startxgl script, but they didnt know the gentoo specifics....so the real question is: did anyone get cgwd working, and what did you have to do...?

3 questions

1 - how do i tell if i am using compiz or compiz-quin?
2 - in startxgl its invoking compiz -- how does it know to use compiz-quinn?
3 - I emerged xgl/compiz last night from a fresh checkout. evidently my version of compiz-quinn is a few versions back. How do I get the latest?

thanx


1/2 - You can't have both compiz and compz-quinnstorm installed at the same time, so the one installed is the one you use.


If for some reason you don't remember which one you installed
Code:
equery l compiz

should tell you

3 - if you want the latest, try the cvs version af compiz-quinnstorm, unmask it with
Code:
echo "x11-wm/compiz-quinnstorm -*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords


If you want to know what different versions are there (the latest might not work)
the fastest way is
Code:
ls /usr/portage/local/layman/portage-xgl/x11-wm/compiz-quinnstorm/compiz-quinnstorm-*

Did you try

Code:
dbus-launch cgwd --replace


ps, my dbus is emerged with te following use flags ( think qt3 is needed....)
Code:
equery u dbus
[ Searching for packages matching dbus... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend        : Left column  (U) - USE flags from make.conf                     ]
[                  : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for sys-apps/dbus-0.61-r1 ]
 U I
 + + X       : Adds support for X11
 + + gtk     : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit)
 + + python  : Adds support/bindings for the Python language
 + + qt3     : Adds support for the Qt GUI/Application Toolkit version 3.x


EDIT: try the lines in non script form first...let kde come up, then replace the window manager, then run the compiz line...

Whenever I do a emerge -avuD world, portage wants to downgrade cairo and glitz (I have them in packages.keywords). But if I leave out the D, this isn't the case. What program is the cause of this? I need the newer version of cairo and glitz for XGL.

I would post
emerge -p cairo
emerge -p glitz

If you had the same 'problem' I had, its because cairo's package was changed from
1.2.0 to cairo-1.2.0-r1 so my package.keywords was wrong...
so might as well post your package.keywords and package.unmask lines that contain cairo and glitz

Err I have them in keyworks and unmask. Oh well, it's not a big deal. Oh why can't I use this
Code:
 #!/bin/bash
 Xgl -fullscreen :1 -audit 0 -ac -br -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:fbo &
 sleep 2 && DISPLAY=:1 gnome-session

to start XGL? Whenever I do, I get a segfault error when loading cgwd. However, when I use gdm to lauch the xgl.desktop xsession
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Xgl
Comment=Start an Xgl Session
Exec=/usr/bin/startxgl.sh (the script posted above)
Icon=
Type=Application

everything works great.

Both of these scripts are from the xgl wiki. I'm using compiz -quinn 0.0.13.20, cgwd-0.41, and cgwd-themes-0.6.

EDIT: must do dbus-launch cgwd. But then cgwd-themes (gcompizthemer command) doesn't work??? :? (dbus-launch gcompizthemer "works" but themes don't apply). But the most confusing is why everything works beautifully when using gdm...

gcompizthemer/-themes is deprecated and thus removed from the overlay. gcompizthemer was merged into cgwd and a new package cgwd-themes in in the works by quinn. (She still has to make the package)


I still can't figure out how to actually apply the themes.

Hi all.

I'm struggling with a company laptop (shipped withopenSUSE 10.1 unfortunately) to also enjoy XGL fun... To no avail. But this reads like a great move by Intel!!!

http://lwn.net/Articles/194724/

Anyone brave enough to try it with his Gentoo box (my desktop has a nvidia)?
I'll have to wait for my suse laptop but hey: maybe something to look forward to... ?

cheers

electrofreak, it should apply automatically. i.e. after you select a theme it should apply. You need cgwd and cgwd-themes.

For me it was pycairo that wanted to downgrade glitz and cairo - try to add it to your keywords. Or try to find the responsible package with emerge -uvDpt cairo glitz.

Just select the theme, and restart XGL. That seems to work. It doesnt work automatically for me anyway.

You can just kill/restart cgwd.

(After selecting a theme, and closing the gcompizthemer, I type "killall cgwd" then "dbus-launch cgwd")

"dbus-launch cgwd --replace" should do the same thing in a single command.

How do you launch the cgwd themer? I have the newest ebuild merged, and i read somewhere it shows up under Desktop-Pref-Compiz Themes but I do not see a compiz themes entry. I'm just launching cgwd with "dbus-launch cgwd --replace" from a terminal while running xgl. I cannot find a binary to start the themer or anything. :( But if I run cgwd it works and shows the default theme, I just can't install or change them.

Run gcompizthemer -- it's now part of the cgwd package, but it's still a separate binary.

i have to put dbus-launch in front of anything to do with cgwd. It mentioned it in the wiki, but I missed it. I still dont see theme selections reflected immediately, but they work when I restart.

Yes exactly, I have to do this too. But if I load XGL through GDM and use the compizrc script, I don't need dbus-launch, and the themes apply automatically when I select them. I'm really confused about this. :?

dbus has both a system-wide daemon and a per-session daemon. Using gdm to start gnome-session in turn starts a dbus session daemon for that session, which all dbus-aware apps should use without needing dbus-launch. Gnome-session also starts gconfd-2, which is the daemon that monitors gconf changes and auto-applies them.

I suppose you could start gconfd-2 manually, but I don't know what, if any, parameters need to be passed to it, or whether other gnome daemons have to be running, for it to work properly.

Ah, thanks! Looks like I merged cgwd-0.6 and it only compiled the cgwd binary. So i merged cgwd-0.41 and it's working now. Thanks!

Hi i hope someone can help

i'm trying to get XGL&compiz working, i've been following this howto
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL#Unmasking_relevant_packages

# emerge --ask --verbose xgl compiz

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "xgl" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-base/xgl-0.0.1_pre20060619-r3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- x11-base/xgl-0.0.1_pre20060714 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- x11-base/xgl-0.0.1_pre20060714-r1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

how can i unmask these packages so i can get XGL working

thanks

Dave

You will end up having to do this for other packages like compiz or compiz-quinnstorm, etc. But that is the basic procedure for unmasking a package that has been keyword masked.

hi mate i tried that and this is what happend

localhost ~ # echo "x11-base/xgl" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
localhost ~ # emerge --ask --verbose xgl compiz

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=media-libs/mesa-6.5.1_pre20060714" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- media-libs/mesa-6.5.1_pre20060810 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- media-libs/mesa-6.5.1_pre20060714 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- media-libs/mesa-6.5.1_pre20060716 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "x11-base/xgl-0.0.1_pre20060714-r1" [ebuild])
