Hi,

I installed compiz 0.9.2 from the latest deskopt-effects-overlay ebuilds.
If I try to start compiz via compiz --replace --sm-disable ccp it doesn't start.

I debugged it and here is the output:
http://xurv.org/~smove/files/compiz_crash-30006.out

Does someone have any ideas why it doesn't start?
Any lib needed to be updated or something?

I can't say for sure this will fix your problem but a 9.2.1 bugfix release will be out any day now. The author recommends waiting for that.

kernelOfTruth, in your post in another thread (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6466137.html#6466137) you mentioned that you were having some serious problems with Compiz 0.9.x. Have those problems been fixed, then? Is the version you are currently using 0.9.2 or 0.9.2.1?

Hi Fitzcarraldo :)

not completely yet - I'm compiling via live-ebuilds from tallica-overlay (like already mentioned)

and meanwhile the normal application-switcher without mipmap activated works now,

scale (or what its name is) when going to a corner of the screen to show all apps (afaik) has been working all the time

but when enabling desktop wall/expo the content of the windows still isn't updated


maybe someone could test the cube mode ? (for me it doesn't work) it most likely would also show this erroneous behavior


I don't know why enabling

* mipmap
and
* application switching stuff (in general)

would cause such problems (side-effects of porting it to c++ maybe ?)


also: there are some small focus-issues which I need to observe some more during use

I'm experiencing a strange problem with compiz (0.9.2 from desktop-effects overlay and live ebuild from tallica overlay).
the problem is: it does nothing. no window decoration, no resizing, no moving, no errors.
ps ax | grep compiz however shows compiz running. I configured compiz via ccsm.

compiz --debug --replace only prints:
Code:
compiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /home/<username>/.compiz-1/plugins/libcore.so : No such file or directory
compiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /usr/lib64/compiz/libcore.so : No such file or directory


i looked it up since it looked quite serious, but it appears as if it is not an error.

so far i've tried:
reemerging
emerge -C, rm -rf ~/.config/.compiz, emerge

Code:
$ equery list compiz

edit: It looks as if compiz is not using any configfiles, even though they exist. is there any way to tell compiz to use a specific configuration via commandline?

I'm having the same problem. compiz tries to find its plugins from ~/.compiz-1/plugins/
I couldn't find such overlay named 'tallica' :(
Compiz-0.9.2 doesn't read any previous configuration file.

i'm not quite sure where the problem is, but when i use
Code:
compiz --replace --debug composite
compiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /home/<username>/.compiz-1/plugins/libcore.so : No such file or directory
compiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /usr/lib64/compiz/libcore.so : No such file or directory
compiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /home/<username>/.compiz-1/plugins/libcomposite.so : No such file or directory

it loads up the composite extension and things like awn are working as supposed, so the problem seems to be that compiz can't read the config (for whatever reason).
ccsm is using the "ini" backend on my system, but the gconf-editor shows the same as ccsm (which i think reads the ini).
changed that now to the "gconf"-backend, but still no improvement.

will continue to look into it, i liked my colerful "action"-desktop.

i looked further into it and it really looks like compiz can't read his configs.
By starting compiz from commandline (like: compiz --replace composite) it loads the given addons, but the addons don't read any configs.
So I guess something is wrong with the parser (gconf or iniparser or whatever).
Can somebody with a similar emerge --info tell me if he got it working?

$ emerge --info compiz

x11-wm/compiz-9999 was built with the following:

another idea: does somebody know where compiz is looking for its config file? this whole "compiz-1" stuff looks suspicious.

Just a note to help understand compiz as far as i remember.

Without ccp in your command line compiz won't load your config.
With a new install it is generally a good idea to start and configure
ccsm 'compizconfig-settings-manager' BEFORE you start compiz
so as to ENABLE pertinent plugins 'composite, opengl, move and,
decoration'. Current compiz home folder is now '~/.config/compiz-1'
NOT ''~/.config/compiz'. If you have a local plugin folder, compiz
will look in and try to load those plugins first and could be a cause
for failure.

I've gotten 0.9.2 to work but kde decorator crashes it.
Moving a window causes it to crash as well.

thanks, that helped.
now it starts with "compiz --replace ccp".

hope you find a solution to your problem too, but i don't think i can help you with it (running gnome).
