The desktop-effects overlay

Message

jcat · Post by **jcat** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 1:10 am

This bit me as well, it seems there is is an error in the ebuild.

I changed a line in fusion-icon-9999.ebuild from

COMPIZ_RELEASE="0.7.2"

to

Code: Select all

COMPIZ_RELEASE="9999"

and that fixed the issue.

I presume the Desktop Effects guys will fix it soon once they spot it.

Cheers,

hey desktop effectors I'm trying to get compiz working on my fresh gentoo install but it's giving me a pretty ambiguous error.

latest nvidia/cairo/xorg and I'm getting the same results with 0.6 and 9999 ebuilds..

when I trying to start compiz by any method (fusion-icon, compiz --replace, emerald --replace) I get this output:

Code: Select all

hamish@arrogantminisense ~ $ fusion-icon
 * Detected Session: kde
 * Searching for installed applications...
 * NVIDIA on Xorg detected, exporting: __GL_YIELD=NOTHING
 * Using the GTK Interface
 * KWin is already running
 * Setting window manager to Compiz
 ... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --loose-binding --indirect-rendering
compiz (core) - Error: Another window manager is already running on screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0

I've tried recompiling compiz apps in the correct order (emerge -av1 compiz compiz-bcop emerald compiz-fusion-plugins-main libcompizconfig compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald-themes ccsm compiz-fusion ) but that doesn't seem to help.

any ideas as to what might be causing this error?

Hey all.

I'm trying to get compiz-fusion to work on my computer using this overlay. I am using the latest xorg, compiz, and fglrx.

I installed fusion-icon, as well as the rest of compiz-fusion, and I get the following error message when running fusion-icon.

Code: Select all

 * Detected Session: unknown
 * Searching for installed applications...
 * No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
 ... present with indirect rendering, exporting: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
 * Using the GTK Interface
 * Starting Compiz
 ... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering
compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

My xorg.conf can is here. Has anyone else solved this problem in the past?

Thanks.

if in doubt, move the file to a folder outside of the repository & sync again - that should fix it

We need more information. The actual error will be farther back and we'll need your emerge --info to know what's going on.

You can also install fusion-icon (nice thing) and add it to System -> Preferences -> Sessions.

Hi, and thanks for supplying this overlay.

I am trying to compile the screensaver plugin but am getting a "make failed" die message. Are there any dependencies required for this?

this is what appears to be the relevant portion of the emerge:

Code: Select all

linking   : build/libscreensaver.lai686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../crti.o: No such file or directory

 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       emake || die "make failed"
 *  The die message:
 *   make failed

Also, I noticed when i tried this last night, that with bcop-9999 and compiz-9999 that i was getting errors starting compiz: ccp could not be loaded is the only i can remember, so i downgraded, but now i am not finding the earlier versions available with an emerge -s and i hope when i restart compiz i won't get that error.

any help would be very appreciated, and thanks again

0000000000000 · Post by **0000000000000** » Wed May 07, 2008 2:26 am

With further searching I am seeing that I do not have the folder "4.1.1" in the 1686-pc-linux-gnu directory that it is looking for, I have 4.1.2 instead.

Is there a way to make it look in that directory or to install 4.1.1?

thanks

::doing an emerge system now, hope that will point the compiler in the right place...

kuschelkriterium · Post by **kuschelkriterium** » Wed May 07, 2008 8:54 am

Had the same problem. Somehow, libtool was pointing to the old, non-existing path. Reemerging libtool did the trick.

gimpel · Post by **gimpel** » Wed May 07, 2008 10:59 am

This should do the trick too:

Code: Select all

fix_libtool_files.sh 4.1.1

(where 4.1.1 is the previous gcc version)

thank you, that fixed it, though i am still with this error while using compiz-bcop-9999 and compiz-9999

Code: Select all

when i try to re-emerge any plugins, it downgrades bcop and compiz.

i may just try to live without my flying windows screensaver

You need to recompile compiz-fusion-plugins-main-9999 - and of course you need to unmask it.

If you upgrade the -9999 stuff, always recompile all of it, in right order.
I meanwhile use paludis and its -scm and sets feature. Back in portage times I used this very simple script:

Ah, yes. I re-emerged seemingly all of my compiz related stuff with -9999 suffix and all seems well...

just tested and I have awesome flying windows again!

thanks a lot
