Has anyone got a walkthrough/guide on how to install & set up Compiz desktop effects in Lubuntu/LXDE?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron 1520 with nVidia 8600M graphics card. I'm running 10.10 Maverick, and I've set up CompizConfig settings manager. Everything works just dandy, but it will sometimes disable all settings. Restarting X fixes everything, but I can't figure out why it disables in the first place. When disabled, all the visual effects are disabled (wiggly windows, transparency, desktop cube, etc.) The settings in System>Preferences>appearance>Visual Effects is set to Extra, and all my CompizConfig settings are the same. I haven't figured out any way to get it working again except by restarting X.
So far, the only times it has disabled like that are when I've set the computer to "suspend" or "hibernate", and a couple times when it has gone to screensaver while running on battery. It never does it while plugged in (but plugging it in will not restore the graphic effects) I have no idea how to keep the graphic effects working. Perhaps it's related to me unplugging my computer and running on battery? If so, is there any way to turn off this setting?
I have installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 but didn't like the interface so on log in I just start in desktop mode. I am using the CompizConfig Setting Manager and want to activate Expo and other desktop extras. I have changed the System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects to extra but I still do not see Expo in ccsm. Do I need to install each plug in separately? I have included a screen shot of ccsm too.

I recently started using OpenSuSE, coming from a year on Kubuntu as my introduction to Linux operating systems. I had tried out Compiz and liked it, though I used KWin more often than not, and I thought I'd give it a try. However, when I went into YaST to get it, I noticed that it wants to install gnome-desktop and some GNOME programs along with it...I had at one pointed tried Ubuntu Studio alongside my Kubuntu desktop, and I regretted it immediately because ever since I had done that a bunch of things got screwed up in KDE. So I'm a little leery about installing GNOME just to get Compiz working...
Is there a way to use Compiz without the gnome-desktop? Shouldn't it just need GNOME libraries to work? Is installing gnome-desktop along with Compiz going to screw things up and add a bunch of GNOME programs I don't want or need (ex. Nautilus) alongside KDE? If so, I won't bother getting it, so I thought I'd ask, because I don't want to screw things up like I did on Kubuntu.
I have just installed compiz through the YaST2 software manager.It all downloaded and installed OK as I can see it in the Kickoff Application Launcher.But although I have set the configuration for cube rotate, when I point and click to different desktops on the task bar, the switch is without rotation

I have opensuse 11.2 64 bit with the latest Nvidia drivers on a Gnome desktop; out of the box compiz 7.8 worked great. I had no intention of upgrading but I did with the upgrade to 8.4. Everything upgraded fine except I lost my menu bars on all screens when they were opened. I downgraded back down to 7.8 and still the same issue. Right now I have no compiz on so I can have have my menu bars. There is something I must be missing when I installed or reinstalled or upgraded compiz. I would like to get an original compiz setup that a fresh install gives.

Now I'm downgrading to 0.8.4.. Question is, do really I need to upgrade, because I read that theres no new features only bugs fix and speed improvement.
After having some problems with the latest Ubuntu release, I decided to give openSUSE another chance. This time I managed to get flawlessly working everything I needed, and I'm very satisfied with this distro so far.
That said, I encountered a weird glitch in Compiz, specifically with its 3D Windows plugin. It's not really a big deal, but it bugs me, so I might as well give it a shot and ask about it here. With the 3D Windows activated, this is what I get:
what causes this and how can I fix it? I'm using the latest NVIDIA propietary drivers. If you need me to post any additional info, I'll be happy to comply.
anyone can tell me how i can make sure that compiz starts on boot in LXDE?i got opensuse 11.3 LXDE, but need to change to compiz manually each time i boot my system by starting simple-ccsm and checking the enable checkbox.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI had installed SUSE KDE and then installed Gnome too. I had chosen Suse as distro that has incredible KDE performance, however Gnome is great too.

Check your X configuaration.
You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the composting type. I cannot use OpenGL, hence my Compiz is useless.. I have ATI 5850s
I am trying to use compiz on OpenSUSE KDE. I launch CCSM, enable some plugins, close it, start it again and all of them are disabled again. I have the compiz package installed.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure about anybody else, but I have spent many hours today trying to figure out how to get Compiz as a window manager. Alas, I have tasted success. Once compiz and Emerald are both installed, simply go to Code:Configure Desktop > Default Applications > Window Management and then select from the drop down menu.Now those beautiful emerald themes will work. I have seen many other 'solutions' for KDE4 and they may have worked for some, but not for me. I hope this will help somebody who may be as frustrated as I was.

Once rebooted, I wanted to enable compiz effetcs, an error message said there was no driver detected, I was surprised but clicked to enable effects. No effects were enabled and worse, window borders disappeared. There is no more window manager. I search on this forum, tried to boot in level 3, ran the script again. The problem remains. However if I boot in level 3, then type "startx" I have window borders but scrolling is terribly slow, just as when there is no driver installed on Microsoft Windows. I have some basic knowledge of Ubuntu, but I was clumsy with openSuse. So here are my questions :
1) how come compiz is not supported when official drivers are installed ? on Ubuntu it's the opposite, compiz requires proprietary drivers 2) how can I fix this mess ? I tried to reinstall Xorg but I fear to worsen everything
I heard a lot about NVIDIA Xinerama & Compiz not working but on looking further, in recent times people have got them to work. I've setup Xinerama with 4 monitors working across 2 dual video cards and it works great. I have the latest NVIDIA drivers (using the one-click) and I just installed the latest compiz using one-click as well.
The cards are as follows:
Chip: 0 is -> NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 01:00:0 0x10de 0x0402 AGP nvidia
Chip: 1 is -> NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 02:00:0 0x10de 0x0402 AGP nvidia
(I chose these because they have no fans and when working from home, quiet is nice to have!)
The following options are recommended to run compiz with NVIDIA and I have enabled them all at one point. However, looking through carefully I don't need to since using the latest drivers and having pretty good video cards all this seems to be (according to the documentation) automatically enabled.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn the Compiz Fusion Desktop Wall plugin settings, I can normally find a "Non Sliding Windows" option (Or at least, I've been able to in recent installs of Ubuntu). However, in the default installation of Compiz that comes with OpenSUSE 11.2, I don't have that option. I double checked to make sure I wasn't losing my mind, and on my Ubuntu 10.4 laptop it IS present (In CCSM under the Desktop Wall Plugin's "Viewport Switching" tab). I even went so far as to check to see if it's in the gconf database, and it's not on Suse, but is on Ubuntu. Installing the compiz extras package did not help. I even tried putting the key into the gconf database on Suse, but of course it didn't work.
The only thing I noticed is that Suse appears to be using an older version of Compiz (Suse: compiz 0.7.8; Ubuntu: compiz 0.8.4). Being a fairly experienced linux user (however being new to Suse itself), I'd like to check if there is a simpler solution than compiling from scratch. Anyone ever run across this/solved this already? The final goal is to make my desktop wallpaper and gnome panels static when viewport sliding.
