Cairo-Compmgr Annoying Bug

I recently(today) installed cairo-compmgr to enhance my openbox experience. Some minor errors and such occurred(mainly graphical anomalies) however there is a rather annoying bug that occurs when I affect the desktop(where the background appears). For example I would close thunar with it as my only open window, after it closes there is a square in the middle of my screen that shows the contents of the now closed window. When I right click the image disappears. Also if i hover my mouse over a window in my panel(tint2) the little box displaying information is stuck on the screen, until I affect it in come way. It's not a major issue but I figure that if I'm going to use a program to enhance my graphics its redundant to have graphical issues. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have this same problem with Openbox + cairo-compmgr-git and when I close Firefox. I have Intel integrated graphics with an empty xorg.conf

[Openbox]xcompmgr(flickers) and cairo-compmgr(bug opera)

Godd evening,
I am facing problems with xcompmgr-git and cairo-compmgr under openbox.
Let's start with xcompmgr-git:
-flickers(the desktop) when I minimize, enlarge or close a window
used command-line
xcompmgr -cCfF -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 -D6
here's the output in a terminal:
error 8: BadMatch (invalid paramter attributes) request 156 minor 6 serial 2325
error 9: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parmater) request 153 minor 4 serial 2326
error 4: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap Pixmap parameter) request 54 minor 0 serial 2357
Now here's cairo-compmgr
-At first sight everything looks normal(so no flickering), except that I have a bug with opera(I would like to precise that it also does that with xcompmgr enabled):
without cairo-compmgr or xcompmgr: here
with cairo-compmgr or xcompmgr: here
-And there's also an error message with cairo-compmgr:
Error on load /usr/lib/cairo-compmgr/libccm_clone.so : /usr/lib/cairo-compmgr/libccm_clone.so: undefined symbol: vala_collection_object_unref
And in order to help you out here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Thanks shwick.
Not affected by the bug. With or without background, no transparency.
Plus the bug appears in compiz, which is fully operationnal on me, even for transparency.
And there's no reason for other application, like xterm, to have the same problem
I tested with the patch, but no change.
Tryied on fluxbox too. Didn't work
I wonder if it comes from my drivers or my xorg configuration... anything like this...

Openbox cairo-compmgr or xcompmgr, no "real" compositing

Hi everyone,
I apologize in advance for my bad inglish.
I just baught an old thinkpad x61, equiped with an intel GMA965 chip and an intel X3100 GPU.
At first, I installed xfce with compiz-fusion. Everything worked perfectly, my terminals had a real transparency, nothing wrong.
I decided to switch to openbox with xcompmgr or cairo-compmgr. But when I launched either of these, compositing didn't works. It's was copying the wallpaper into the terminal background. Like an image. There was no real transparency, I couldn't see window behind the terminal.
I tested again on my XFCE session with fusion-icon configured to take openbox. When I launched xcompmgr or cairo-compmgr, it worked perfectly.
Any Idea ?
Let me know if something is unclear.
Thanks in advance.

[SOLVED] cairo-compmgr build fails

I have an up to date system as of today. When building cario-compmgr (and cario-compmgr-git) from AUR with yaourt I get:

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b new_branch_name

cairo-compmgr
I don't have a clue what's wrong here and I'm also failing to build the aur/vala-git package to maybe solve this issue. Is this a bug report candidate?
Last edited by hesse (2012-06-16 16:55:31)

It looks like all the errors stem from LIBTOOL being undefined. This should give you something to google on. It *may* be as simple as adding
LIBTOOL=/usr/bin/libtool
to the Makefile(s). But the proper solution would be to fix the autoconf/autotools input file that sets this. As I have never had a need for those tools, I don't know much about their workings.
I also wanted to suggest that xcompmgr may do what you need. There are many bells and whistles that it lacks, but some of the core functionality of cairo-compmgr is duplicated in a very lightweight package.

Cairo-compmgr closes after a few seconds

Hey so I've just finished installing Awesome WM via clyde(The AUR package manager). So I have it working but I'm having a problem.
I'm using the rxvt terminal emulator and I want transparency so I've installed cairo-compmgr. When I start cairo-compmgr it closes after a couple seconds. Here is what happens when I start it:

Hi,
try using cairo-compmgr-git, no more of these message errors, but there are still bugs when minimizing or closing windows (a part of the border stays stucked as an image), as here

Two annoying bugs and in PSE 7

(PSE7, Windows XP SP3)
THE MOST annoying bug (for me): From time to time, Album pane and Keyword Tags panes become blank. Nothing actually happens to the tags, but the only way to restore the panes, is to restart the program.
I still didn't manage to figure out precisely what triggers it, but I think it has something to do with "Fast User Switching" on XP...
Watched folders are not updated when new files are added with an external program. In my case, I use Canon Photo Professional to process RAW files and create JPGs and TIFFs at the same directory as the original RAW files are stored, which is part of the Catalog. Nothing happens and new files are not detected even if the folder is watched.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Let me add to this list a number of issues that seem to be widespread with respect to the sync engine:
Sync engine does not recognize existing content on install of PSE7 if it's an upgrade from a previous version. Changed photos get sync'd, but you have to make a change to everything to get it all picked up by the engine.
Sync stalls regularly. No indication is given to the user that sync is no longer progressing (double green arrows remain). However, the sync process stops consuming CPU and stops communicating with API.PHOTOSHOP.COM (both verifyable using resource manager).
Sync is extreemly slow. The upload times are an order of magnitude longer than my available bandwidth would permit. This appears to be due to the excessive handshaking necessary for each individual upload (no bulk transfer implemented).
Not necessarily a bug, but the lack of status information about the sync progress is dismal.
Let's hope the PSE7 team is as receptive to user help in troubleshooting as the PS.COM team turned out to be...

I'm using xcompmgr which seems to be much faster than cairo-compmgr and I don't t have this problem.
Having said that, here is the relevant portion from my .conkyrc:
own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_hints below
own_window_argb_value 100

Cairo-compmgr preferences wont appear

I am running xfce4 with openbox as my WM and cairo-compmgr for compositing. To enable cairo-compmgr i have it in my ~/.config/openbox/autostart file as
cairo-compmgr &
Compositing does work, but there is no icon in the xfce4 panel's system tray. The only way i get the icon to appear is by going into the menu and selecing "Cairo Composite Manager." I then attempt to edit the preferences by right clicking and clicking on "prefrences" but the window opens for a split second the dissappears.
Any idea why this happens? I have also tried loading cairo-compmgr by putting "cairo-compmgr &" right after "exec ck-launch-session startxfce4" in my ~/.xinitrc
When done this way, compositing is also enabled, but the icon doesn't appear at all, even when I select it in my applications menu.

Try the proprietary Nvidia driver if you use Nouveau and vice-versa (Nouveau if you use the proprietary driver).
Also, it could be because you didn't disable the compositing effects from Xfce.

Cairo-compmgr + Openbox + xf86-video-intel + mouse clicks issue

When I start cairo-compmgr with Software Rendering, I face issue of clikable items not being highlighted when I hover mouse over them.
Also, I have the issue of first item being selected automatically when I right click on certain apps.
Is there anything I can do about it?

shadyabhi wrote:I guess both use the same video driver.
Nouveau? (EDIT: Just re-read thread title: Obviously not Nouveau!) That's what I am using over here. I thought there might be some quirk in an xorg.conf or something, but 1) I am pretty sure that running Nouveau neither generates nor requires one, and 2) I cannot see Cairo-compmgr altering or creating an xorg.conf.

LR 3.6 exported images can't be read by other application (annoying BUG!)

Hi,
I am working with M.Objects which is a very neat and comfortable picture show application.
Images that are exported under LR 3.6 can't be imported there. M.Objects is a Windows application.
So I threw 3.6 into trash, and installed LR 3.5 again.
Now it works again properly!!
Please, remove this annoying bug!
Cheers, Hans

Hi, I am sorry for posting in the wrong user-forum!
But I try to explain my problem: I'm working with LR 3.6 on an iMac (OSX 10.6.8). My picture files are on an iOmega hard drive. After LR-work the images are exported to a FAT-formatted LaCie hard drive. My slide/picture show application only runs on a Windows 7 partition on my iMac. So I copy the images from the LaCie hard drive to the Windows pc.
With 3.5 everything worked really fine. But with 3.6 my show application M.Objects (http://www.mobjects.de/) says „can't read the files“. The Windows preview app. can open the image files.
But now I've found out that I can export the images to a Vosonic hard drive, and M.Objects can read and import my images. So my problem is solved. I don't know why on two different FAT hard drives files are stored in ways that on one hand it works but doesn't on the other hand.
Thank you,
Hans

Openbox + cairo-compmgr

I've been using Arch with a super minimal install with XBMC for about a year now but have finally bought myself an AppleTV2 to run my XBMC on. With the hardware now free I finally setup the XBMC box as a desktop to use instead of my dieing laptop. I have a little familiarity with this stuff but I'm still learning. Anyways.... I could find any answers to this anywhere so I'm finally posting on the forum.
I have setup Openbox with a SLIM login screen. I've also installed cairo-compmgr to get some eye candy and have pypanel isntalled as well. When I leave the desktop I sometimes like to leave it running so things like NFS and what not can keep going for the ATV2 and XBMC but I want to logout so nobody can do anything on the desktop. What I was doing was simply right clicking on the desktop and clicking Logout that comes in the default menu.xml. At first it worked fine but last night it started hanging up. I found the only way to finally get it to sign out was to right click the compmgr icon on pypanel and choose exit. Once I do that it goes to the SLIM screen right away. Is there a way to clean up this logout process so I don't have to manually shutdown compmgr everytime? I'm sure it's simply a setting somewhere that I'm missing. If this has been answered before let me know and I'll keep digging. I just couldn't find it anywhere.
Thanks!

I've been starting cairo-compmgr from (~/.xinitrc) and it currently doens't have a & at the end of cairo-compmgr...
cairo-compmgr
Is what it currently looks like.
Interesting today though I installed Dropbox today to use with KeePassX (highly recommend this setup) and when I opened (~/.xinitrc) to add the dropboxd line to it I decided to add the & to cairo-compmgr to see if that would fix it. After trying that it wouldn't even let me login through SLIM. I edited it back on another tty and it signs in again but still no clean logout. I'm going to try putting it on the (~/.config/openbox/autostart) script to see if that fixes it after I make this post and close everything out.
Thanks for the responses guys. I'll post back results in a few minutes.

Cairo-compmgr corrupts second monitor

Hey all,
I just set up openbox with cairo-compmgr, and it works great when I'm just using my laptop screen... however when I enable my secondary 22" monitor, the second display is "corrupted." What I see is similar to the ie6 effect. I've tried both cairo-compmgr 0.3.0 from community and the git version from AUR.
Both displays works fine with xcompmgr, but I'd prefer cairo-compmgr because I like its plugins. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Edit: Okay, I just checked, and if I set a wallpaper with xsetroot or feh after starting cairo-compmgr, this doesn't happen. So it seems to be caused because there is no background set on the root window?
Edit 2: Also, when I go from two monitors to one, the screen goes black except for my mouse cursor. I can't see any windows, and nothing will show over the black except the cursor. Again, with xcompmgr, everything is fine when hotplugging monitors.

Cairo-compmgr-git and shadows for new windows

Hi, I'm using stand-alone Openbox and installed cairo-compmgr-git from AUR. Everything seems to work fine except for one thing, shadows don't get drawn for new windows, just for the ones I have already open when I run "cairo-compmgr -n". This doesn't happen with cairo-compmgr from the community repository, but with this version, conky windows have shadows. Xcompmgr-dana works fine also, but the entire screen flickers when dragging things around. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I got the same problem today after a normal update, now the cairo-compmgr from the community repo is having the same issue. I deleted the config file from ~/.config/cairo-compmgr and nothing.
Some help will be appreaciated

Cairo-compmgr + openbox

I'm trying to get cairo-compmgr working with openbox.
I start it in my .config/openbox/autoexec file as
cairo-compmgr -n &
it really works fine, except that when I close a window the window stays visible (but loses it's decoration)
for about 5 to 10 seconds after it should have closed.
Has anyone seen this? any idea how to make it stop?
Sometimes if i start is from an rxvt after i've already started openbox it works fine, but not every time.
Thanks.

I get this too among other issues with this combination.
I did disable most of its plugins and that helped up to a point.

One annoying bug

Sorry, my ENG is not perfect. First of all I want to say that Firefox for Android is the only one browser that works with chat bizarre.com.ua (Opera and other browsers don't update main frame in the chat), but has one annoying bug. When you enter the chat everything's work fine, but when you sroll up and down main frame (center frame) the autoscroll is not working after that. This is very important for me and some other users of Firefox for Android in this chat. Please fix that problem. I don't know where to write, if I'm wrong please tell that info to developers. Thank you.

If you selected the album at the left then the righthand pane will display the photos in that album. That's why you couldn't drag a photo from the right side into the album.
There is no way to see the contents of an Event and an Album at the same time. You either see the photos in the Event or those in the Album. Make sure you've clicked on the event and then drag the desired photos onto the album's icon at the left. Do not click on that album icon.
