compiz not loading right

Message

BloodyIron · Post by **BloodyIron** » Wed May 27, 2009 8:18 pm

When I run Compiz it looks like it tries to load then appears to kick back to the regular window handler. However at this point I do not have the "border" for windows and swapping between windows does not work.

Running an nVidia card, and direct rendering is working. glxgears works with a fair ammount of fps.

I am uncertain what further details to include as I have not really troubleshot Compiz too much.

Tips?

Run compiz in a terminal and post the output!

I'm getting the same problem. Compiz used to work on my system fine. I had to rebuild the OS after the hard drive crashed. I'm getting the same thing now:

I'm running on a C2D system with the AMD64 version, and an nVidia quadro card. As a heads up.

This happened to me after a recent world update, when opengl wasn't set to nvidia anymore.

My problem was solved by reading what kernelOfTruth's suggestion in this thread here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-76 ... z+xgl.html

Emerald was running just fine but I couldn't see it because none of the compiz settings are on by default. This includes some pretty basic stuff like Window Decoration (under "Effects") and Move or Resize Windows. I turned stuff on using ccsm and everything's working as expected now.

I thought that was my problem, however I can't seem to enable ANY of the plugins. When I select the plugins in ccm there are no options to adjust. Just blank windows like they don't exist, but they clearly do in /usr/share/compiz/

Here is my output anyway.... It appears I (or the compiz devs) have seriously screwed something

. This is a basically fresh install of Gentoo btw.

Here is where I am at now...

CompizConfig Settings Manager has all plugins listed as "Uncategorized" and none of them can be enabled. They all have a big fat blank in the options page of each plugin.

Screenshot here....
http://imagefra.me/view.php?img=/2/7/28 ... &srv=img31

Still getting the following when running compiz-manager

The bit in bold about being unable to parse core.xml is something interesting. Would that have something to do with the problem of not being able to enable any plugins? Also can't parse ccp.xml. The files are there in /usr/share/compiz though and they don't appear corrupted.

At a loss how to fix the .xml thingy. :/

*Bump*

I managed to get rid of the "Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". " error by removing the dual display info from my xorg.conf but that didn't make compiz run.

Now it still doesn't find the plugins for some reason even though they are there.

Got same problem as you do, also with current 1.6 xorg only nvidia 180.60 driver is working fine, more recent give me black screen when starting X,
with the infamous:

Up to xorg 1.6 kwin does work as composite manager, have you tried that ?
