Compiz and VNC dont get together well

My machine runs a vnc server permanently, the default one that comes with gnome (i think its called vino)
If i have compiz effects enabled, i cannot see anything of my desktop: I just see the background image - no windows, no gnome bars, nothing....
Anyone else experiences the same issue?
Thanks!

vnc server tries by default to just paint areas of the screen which are modified, to save bandwidth, thanks to Xorg server damage extension.
When using a composite manager like compiz this doesn't work, so you have to explicitely tell your server to disable that tweak, sorry.
from x11vnc man page:
-noxdamage
Do not use the X DAMAGE extension to detect framebuffer changes even if it is available. Use -xdamage if your default is to have it off.
x11vnc's use of the DAMAGE extension: 1) significantly reduces the load when the screen is not changing much, and 2) detects changed areas (small ones by default) more quickly.

  • I have an Apple TV Gen1 and it has a blinking light that changes color and I dont get any video displayed

    we have lost a few AV items due to a recent storm and i am trying to find out if my apple Tv model: A1218 is dead or fixable. It has a blinking light that changes color and I dont get any video displayed. the color looks to go red, green, off and keeps repeating that cycle.

    All I could find is this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24576
    It looks to have an issue, i.e. possibly bricked.

    i have restore my i-phone and still dont get conection to the server

    You cannot go back
    Basic Troubleshooting
    Reset
    Restore with back up
    Restore as new
    After updating did you reset the iPhone ,if not it is like not rebooting after an update to a PC

    i have a problem , i want to reset my security questions but i dont get the email to reset them what can i do?

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset them. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • My iMessage says sending and i dont get messages back

    When i send a imessage, it says its sending for about 10 minutes and then i have to hard reset my phone or it will just keep saying its sending. But, it actually sends to the person and when they send an imessage back i never receive it because on my phone it still says my message is sending. this happens with normal text messages too. so after i hard reset my phone its back to normal until about an hour later when my messages stop sending again so im probably resetting my phone 10 times a day and im never getting messages back, how do i fix this????

    Nobody on these boards can do that. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.

  • Have you ever had the problem where you try to plug in your ipod, and you dont get anything.. Like it wont sync, but when you go on your Ipod you get the "Trust this computer" ? Please help

    So, whenever I try to plug in my IPod I get nothing, I get the sounds of it being synced, but I open ITunes and I have nothing. When I access my IPod 5th gen, I get a message asking me to "trust this computer" this just recently became a problem for me and right about now I don't even know what to do. I backed up, IClouded, DFU, and even reset my Ipod. still the same problem. Please help

    I'm having this same problem. I AM NOT HAPPY, APPLE!!! Sure glad I upgraded from a 4th Gen iPod Touch to this iPod 5th Gen that I cannot get recognized in iTunes. Jeez - for as much money as people pay for these products, it sure would be nice if they worked propelry...

    Changed my pw for Gemil and now cant send or receive mail in my BB. I accessed the email account management and its asking me for my user name and pw to access my email settings. No pw or usenames for Gmail work, neither the BB ID works. I ask for it to send me a password and it says it has sent it to my device but I cant find it? Please how do I fix this.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please be very clear...is it requesting your BBID credentials or your BIS credentials? (Unless, when you created it, you used your same GMail credentials, it would NOT be those at this stage.)
    If BBID, please see this "sticky" post for helpful information concerning your BBID situation:

  • Help i my i touch was stolen from school about a week or more so ago and i dont know how to find it with the wifi turned off, can anyone please help me?

    Well, i lost my iPod at school i dont know if it was stolen, it fell out of my pocket or what but either way it is gone. I have the find my ipod app, and contacted the local police, but i just want it back. I have turned the WIFI off because it runs down my battery and i dont get service at school. Can anyone please give me some advice as to what i should do? Retracing my steps, looking at home, backpack, car, room, clothes have all been looked through. Someone please help! It was a gift from my dad. Its really important to me!

    There is nothng special you can do without wifi being on. 
    Report it to the school and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. Apple will not help with anything.

  • Since the last update for my Iphone 4s i dont get text messages when connected to wifi. my wife is getting them. Imessage is switched off on both phones.

    since the 6. version update. of my Iphone 4s My wife was getting my text messages. I found the problem was caused by Imessage when connected to Wifi. I deactivated Imessage on both phones to solve the problem. I now have updated my Iphone to 6.1.1 and i dont get text messages anymore. I have Imessage deactivated on my phone but my wife is getting my text messages again. my wifes phone was not updated to 6.1.1 because the last update lost all her contacts from her phone and we had to but them back in one by one from the outlook list. Her contact are listed in outlook on a seperate list to mine but we can only get my contacts download to her phone. We use the same laptop to sysc phones.
    My Iphone does not download photos to My Pictures anymore. I have to copy them across to a folder. I cant find where it backs them up to.
    I have lost all confidence in Apple now as i was forced to update to 6.1.1 because of 3G reception issues and not reciving calls and now back to spending several hours trying to fix my phone to recieve a basic text message.

    Are you and your wife sharing apple id?
    If you are that is the reason why she is seeing your imessage.
    On both phone go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell is the default.
    You will have to uncheck or remove the apple id.
