Emerald

[ericturgeon]

When i try to start Emerald I have this:

$ emerald --replace &
$ /home/corpse/.gtkrc-2.0:2: Unable to find include file: ".gtkrc-2.0-scrollbar_cog"

$

[nikobordx]

Hi,

And you can't use emerald ?

Strange, i do not have .gtkrc-2.0:2 file in my home directory and emerald work perfectly !

I have installed Compiz Fusion, and after running the commands, my windows are left without title bars and buttons. What is wrong?

This is what i use to start compiz and emerald...

#! /bin/sh
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &
emerald --replace &

Greetz ;)

[adamk]

If 'emerald' is in the Command field in ccsm --> window decorations, you do not need to launch it manually.

Adam

[ericturgeon]

I have this error
$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --sm-disable --replace ccp
compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: freedesktop

[FBSDin20Steps]

It took me a few hours to get compiz to work.

I think when it really started to work. That was enabling "gnome_enable="YES"" in my rc.conf and in a terminal I run the commands:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &

and in the same terminal
emerald --replace &

I see that you do not have refresh rates in your xorg.conf. Install nvidia-settings from ports...

Greetz ;)

[nikobordx]

Hi,

Add this to your xorg.conf to Section "Device" :

Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Option "NoRenderExtension" "False"
Option "NoFlip" "False"
Option "UseEdid" "True"
Option "NvAGP" "1"


You can make a simple script (just say FBSDin20Steps) in your home directory:


#! /bin/sh
compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &
emerald --replace &


Does it work ?

Nicolas.

[ericturgeon]

noting work I running the commands, my windows are left without title bars and buttons.

Nicolas your script how is works.

[adamk]

Do you get any errors from compiz? Is the window decoration plugin enabled? Have you tried one of the other window decorators, just as 'gtk-window-decorator' instead of emerald?

Adam

[ericturgeon]

compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: freedesktop

[adamk]

That answers one of my three questions :-)

Adam

[ericturgeon]

i dont no how to use emerald

[adamk]

Bring up ccsm and see if the window decoration plugin is enabled. Try running 'gtk-window-decorator --replace &' in a terminal and see if that works instead of compiz.

Adam

[ericturgeon]

No is not working

[adamk]

You still haven't answered my other question... Is the window decoration plugin enabled in ccsm?

Adam

[FBSDin20Steps]

I see that you do not have refresh rates in your xorg.conf. Install nvidia-settings from ports...

Did you install it?

[ericturgeon]

FBSDin20Steps

yes i have install nvidia-settings

[FBSDin20Steps]

It should be working by now...?

Hi Eric,

What say:

gconftool-2 --get /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins


Does it look like this:

[core,dbus,minimize,place,png,regex,resize,svg,vide o,zoom,mousepoll,session,imgjpeg,workarounds,text, wallpaper,decoration,wobbly,fade,move,opacify,cube ,rotate,scale,switcher,gears,3d]


Try to load the "png" plugin in your configuration.

Nicolas.

[FBSDin20Steps]

Well, i have now the same problem...

[FBSDin20Steps]

Not anymore... My solution. I reinstalled the nvidia driver and compiz-fusion. Before that I had a blank screen and 2 other errors.
Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
and:
compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: freedesktop

I started compiz without "LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1" and it fired up immediately.

Hope this helps.

[ericturgeon]

Ok I think is my graphic card. i have ECS 7050m-m Xorg don't support my card. it support by nvidia.I gone a buy good video card let you know.

[adamk]

compiz and emerald will work just fine with any relatively new nvidia card (Geforce FX and higher should work), as long as the nvidia drivers are properly installed.

Did you open up ccsm and check that the window decoration plugin is enabled? Is compiz otherwise working fine? Can you move windows, for example?

Adam

[ericturgeon]

compix work slow and i don't know how check that the window decoration plugin is enabled in ccsm.

[FBSDin20Steps]

Which nvidia driver did you install?
What does sysctl hw.nvidia.cards.0.model tells you?

[nikobordx]

You can type:

gconftool-2 --get /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins

and see if "decoration" appears !

Nicolas.

[adamk]

Run 'ccsm' in a terminal. Look for the window decoration plugin and make sure there is a check in the box next to it.

Adam

[ericturgeon]

gconftool-2 --get /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins

Ok i find window decoration plugin i chek its work. but i can't go in applications->internet menu because the internet menu is black all browser i have is black too. system->preferences menu is black to and a couple of application too. Thanks for all yours help it very use full.and thanks dfor futur help.

[ericturgeon]

oh and i cant grabe my window with the mouse and deplace it.

[adamk]

Is the "move window" plugin enabled in ccsm? Also, bring up a terminal and run 'glxinfo' and show us the output.

Adam

[ericturgeon]

corpse# glxinfo
glxinfo: Command not found

libgl is not install. ha ha

[FBSDin20Steps]

I'll be a corpse when you've finished with this :e

Start nvidia-settings as root and you can find all the information you need. Also minimize the activated plugins to a minimum...

$ gconftool-2 --get /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins
[core,decoration,move,regex,resize,vpswitch,cube,ro tate,switcher,cubeaddon]
$

[adamk]

glxinfo is part of the graphics/mesa-demos port/package.

Adam

[FBSDin20Steps]

Yes, I know Adam. In my experience the nvidia-settings application only starts when glx is enabled.

[ericturgeon]

I can't install need glx i try to install libgl ist already there i chec and is not on th system I deinstall it and reinstall it same thing is not install.

name of display: :0.0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

[adamk]

Sounds like you may need to reinstall the nvidia drivers. Can you show us your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file?

Adam

[ericturgeon]

My xorg.0.log

[ericturgeon]

ok thanks for all all works great

[ovirt]

Is the window decoration plugin enabled?

Thanks for this hint. It does seem rather counter-intuitive that this isn't set by default, although from memory none of compiz's configuration options were enabled after I installed the compiz-fusion port.

This is my first experience with compiz etc, so I don't know whether anything has changed in that regard, but from this page:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/compiz-fusion/compiz-fusion.html

I'm guessing that something probably has changed since there's no indication given there that the desktop will become almost unusable once emerald is started (in Gnome, anyway).
