Ubuntu :: 11.04 - Compiz Installed But Not Shown Anywhere
Jun 10, 2011I am running ubuntu 11.04. Compiz seems to be installed as shown by green in Synaptic along with some other related packages. I have now marked compiz-fusion bcop & Emerald & installed them. Both turned green in Synaptic. While Emerald Manager is seen in the System Preference list, Compiz is not seen anywhere. How to launch Compiz?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Compiz Installed Incorrectly - No Desktop Loading
Apr 30, 2011I have been doing some research on problems I have been having and I have narrows Compiz down to being the problem. I am running the prop Nvidea driver. I can use Unity 2d fine however I cannot use Unity at all I just get a blank screen with the mouse cursor no desktop ever loads. I have tried switching between gdm and kdm. I have now worked out that compiz looks like the problem. If I issue a compiz --replace at the terminal I get the same sort of problem I get when I log into the Unity 3d. I loose my left hand monitor (it goes black but I can move my mouse around) and on my right hand monitor I can operate things using the keyboard but when you click with the mouse it does not work although you can move it around fine. Never used Compiz and I dont know if anyone knows any troubleshooting I can try I have exhausted what I could find on the Internet (A few exports of global variables but none fixed anything).

Jun 15, 2010If Compiz works, does that mean 3d is working? In other words I can install and play games in wine. Compiz's website states that it is hardware accelerated and uses OpenGL. Does that mean 3d? I am running FC13 64bit on an HP Pavillion DV7-2185DX. The video card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650.

Mar 31, 2011I installed debian and want to install compiz (properly).Read this thread Compiz and followed the instruction to install the packages. It mentions xorg.conf which does not exist where it tells me to look.I can type "compiz --replace" and it does do something but all the window borders disappear. I tried compiz setting manager - still same problem.And no visual effects (presumably due to missing xorg.conf)
View 9 Replies View RelatedFedora :: NVidia And Compiz Installed And Working But Screen Doesn't Refresh Correctly?
Oct 30, 2010What it does is, if you do something to change anything on the screen, for example, highlighting text, or switching from one tab/menu in an application to another. The screen doesn't show the change. The only way to SEE the change is to do something else to the screen, like grabbing and moving the application around, or scrolling the page of a website, etc. If you don't do that, you won't see what's really on the screen, but rather what WAS on the screen.
Another example:
*) say you have an application open with 3 tabs: tab1, tab2, and tab3.
*) Switch from tab1 to tab2 and you see no change on the screen.
*) Switch from tab2 to tab3 and you see tab 2 on the screen, NOT tab 3.
*) Switch from tab3 to tab 2 and you see tab3 on the screen, and NOT tab2.
Or, if you're typing in this box to make a post, and you hit ctrl+a to select all, you see no change. If you click in the box to deselect all, then it looks like you've selected all text still. The only way to see what's currently on the screen is to scroll the text box or page just a bit, or, if you're using an application, then you'd have to move it around on the screen a bit.
As i've said, the nVidia drivers are installed and working, as well as compiz, etc.
Code:
[=v=]$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RD890 Northbridge only single slot PCI-e GFX Hydra part (rev 02)
00:02.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RD890 PCI to PCI bridge (PCI express gpp port B)
[Code]....
Also, i did BOTH the dracut thing, and the extra kernel paramter in the grub.conf. So, nouveau is blacklisted. Oddly enough though, i do NOT have this problem when using the nouveau driver...
Also, fwiw, i think that i should mention that i'm not using the "Desktop Settings > Enable Desktop Effects" method, because i always seem to have problems with getting certain features to work, like the background for the cube skydome, etc. How i do it is that i install a package called compiz-manager, and i have it set to run at session start. This makes all of the compiz features work fine. One thing that i've noticed though, is that on my other workstation, i haven't set that up yet, and it seems that is is NOT having the same issue. While compiz-manager was running, i tried to use the "desktop settings" method, and it crapped out and reverted back to the old school desktop. I then tried it again, and it reloaded compiz, and there is no screen update issues now. So it seems that you have to have both of them running in order to get all of the compiz options to work, and not have the screen refresh issue?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Compiz Is Unusable In 10.04?
May 4, 2010Like my title states, Compiz or any desktop effects aren't usable for me in 10.04. Never had any problem with any previous release. I'm using the open drivers with my ATI 1950 GT. At first I thought it was due to the fact that I have dual monitors now, but after disabling one and trying again it still acts up.
All I can explain it is it's as if my desktop were "lagging". My mouse cursor will jump and stay in a certain area and I can only move windows a short distance before my mouse pops off and the window jumps back. Minimizing windows also seems like it's a burden on my computer and will take a few seconds to do so.
This is the same setup I've had over various distributions and this is the first time I've experienced it. Anyone have any idea if it's fixable or if my computer is just finally getting too old? I can post the rest of my specs if they're needed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Using Accelerometer HP In Compiz?
Sep 8, 2010I'm trying to use the accelerometer build in my Hp Mini 2140 to rotate the cube desktop with compiz. The gesture that I want to enable is like this one [URL] . That is realized via the smackpad plugin for the HDAPS sensor that is mounted on the IBM/lenovo notebook and the Apple notebook. But I think that is a totally different architecture and wont work with my PC.
So I searched a bit and my HP Mini has an ST LIS3LV02DL accelerometer that is identified as a joystick in ubuntu. It's working very well, after having calibrate it with jstest-gtk I was able to use the accelerometer to play Neverball. So I'm wondering if there is a way to enable in compiz the recognition of joystick gesture to do actions in addition to the key bindings, the mouse bindings and the edges. In fact setting a movement in the Axis 0 has a gesture for rotating the cube will enable a smackpad like action on my HP.
Ubuntu :: Compiz Fusion With 10.04 ?
Sep 14, 2010I run the final version of Lucid Lynx and have a 9800gt.
I followed the following procedure to install compiz (and I want compiz, not just the built in desktop effects) on my computer, all sudo with KDM disabled where necessary:
1. apt-get install nvidia-current
2. nvidia-xconfig
3. apt-get install build-essential libxcomposite-dev libpng12-dev libsm-dev libxrandr-dev libxdamage-dev libxinerama-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libgconf2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libmetacity-dev librsvg2-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-window-settings-dev gitweb curl autoconf automake automake1.9 libtool intltool libxslt1-dev xsltproc libwnck-dev python-dev python-pyrex <- these were prerequisites mentioned by the guide on compiz.org
4. apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-kde compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald
At this point, everything installed successfully, and nvidia driver was working perfectly.
I verified this: desktop effects worked OOB.
5. compiz --replace &
6. emerald --replace &
At this point, compiz apparently started. Emerald worked perfectly: all of the window decorations worked OOB. I went and ran ccsm, and turned on quite a few settings. It didn't enable ANYTHING. When I reran ccsm, all of the settings were back to default, and enabling any new ones had no effect on window behavior. Strange. I looked on the web and found:[url]
The ubuntu page said that I should not "Enable integration into the desktop environment" if gconf was selected. BUT THE FLAT FILE CONFIGURATION WAS SELECTED BY DEFAULT. Then I went back to the site and it said flat file configuration was recommended!
Maybe I shouldn't have enabled desktop effects first (NOTE THAT I LATER DISABLED IT and things still did not work)?
