Compiz with Gnome?

I don't have any WM installed as screenfetch says (I find it weird because I have shadows, but whatever). I want to install Compiz, but Gnome crashes when I try compiz --replace in both terminal or Alt+F2. screenfetch also displays Clearlooks as my GTK theme when I really have Adwaita. I had Clearlooks when I was on Xfce, maybe it's just making a holy mess. How to install Compiz?
Thanks for your attention, already solved 1/2 of my problems with this forum!

I used compiz with Fedora 15 Gnome (3) successfully. After installing compiz, there was an option at login to run gnome classic with compiz or gnome 3. Haven't tried running compiz with Fedora 16 Gnome, but it can work. The conflict I believe is between the gnome 3 shell and compiz. The previous poster was correct in saying the default window manager for gnome 3 is clutter/mutter.
I believe with Arch gnome you would want to start gnome in fallback mode to use compiz.

[SOLVED] Can't start compiz with gnome

When I set up gnome initially, I used the following wiki guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … k_Users.29
I had some issues after upgrading to gnome 3.8 that have now since been solved. I wen't through quite a bit trying to fix it and now somehow compiz isn't starting with my gnome/compiz session. It starts just fine if I run
$ compiz ccp --replace
after logging into the session. I think I'm simply not understanding how this session that I've installed works (or .session files in general).
here is my /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-compiz.session:
[GNOME Session]
Name=GNOME Compiz
RequiredComponents=compiz;cairo-dock;gnome-settings-daemon;
RequiredProviders=notifications;
DefaultProvider-windowmanager=compiz
DefaultProvider-notifications=notification-daemon
I tried removing cairo-dock from the above file just to make sure that this is the file actually being used and it did start up without the dock as I guessed. Obviously this file is being used. Why won't compiz start as well? I also tried adding gnome-panel to the file and gnome-panel did not start. Is this because it needs a .desktop file as well? I assume so.
Here is my /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-compiz.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=GNOME/Compiz
Comment=This session logs you into the GNOME desktop environment with Compiz and Cairo-Dock
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome-compiz

and here is my /usr/share/applications/compiz.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]

So I started to think that maybe compiz was actually starting up but the ccp argument wasn't taking. I ran
$ pgrep -l compiz
and got no output. So compiz really isn't starting at all. What gives?

(SOLVED) Compiz, GLX error even tough i start compiz with LIBGL_AWLAYS

Hi,
I have tried to read trough the wiki, google and forum. I cant get this to be solved?
I installed compis with:
# pacman -S compiz-fusion-gtk (no to emerald, emerald-themes and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra)
made sure metacity compositioning was off with gconf
then i added these:
gconftool-2 --set -t string /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager compiz
gconftool-2 --set -t string /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/current /usr/bin/compiz
gconftool-2 --set -t string /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default /usr/bin/compiz
Have added these to xorg.conf
ServerLayout:
Option "AIGLX" "true"
Device:
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Option "DRI" "true"
Option "Accelmethod" "EXA"
added a section called "Extension" where i added:
Option "Composite" "Enable"
and a section "DRI" :
group "video"
mode 0660
If i launch compiz with :
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering
I still get the glx error! And i dont have the window borders. Read from the troubleshooting to activate the window decaritons, rezise and move, still the same.
Running Gnome with slim. And how should i launch the fusion-icon with a parameter? (ie LIBGL..) i get an error?
My specs: Dell d420, intel gma945 express
sincerely, THANKS!
#update 1: Dont know how, but it kinda works now think the problem was something with compiz-dekorator-gtk.
now my problem is, how to add it to startup?

Solved:
_NO_ xorg.conf. -Also synaptics driver, and im loading into the environment from inittab. These did the trick !

How do you load Compiz before Gnome Session?

I'd like for Compiz to load entirely before the Gnome 3 Desktop panels slide in. Is there a way to control in what order things load in Xorg or something?

Compiz works just fine with Gnome 3 if you choose not to use Gnome Shell. I use Gnome 3's panels (i.e. the classic "Fallback Mode") along with Compiz. My Gnome 3 desktop looks just like Gnome 2, but with better features (i.e. GTK3 instead of GTK2). Panel applets run on DBus now (instead of Bonobo) and all we need to do is port over some of the best applets from Bonobo to DBus. Some of the awesome Gedit 2 plugins need to be ported to Gedit 3 too.
But anyways, I still want to figure out how to load Compiz before Gnome Panel slide-in animations are fired. I believe it might have to do with xorg.conf.

[solved] Arch with GNOME 2?

Hi everyone,
I'm a new Arch user, have been using Ubuntu for about two years now and decided this morning to give Arch a try; the install wasn't too bad, the only ultimate problem was GNOME 3... I'm hoping somebody here can tell me if there's a way to install Arch from scratch with GNOME 2 and Compiz instead of GNOME 3? I ended up removing G3 and I'm now using KDE, which is also not what I want, but certainly a million times better than G3.
I had a quick look around, and it's clear that I'm not the only one who hates G3, the old threads on this forum regarding a downgrade are pointing to a lot of empty links, hence my new thread on the matter.
I understand that it's faster to use G3 and so-on, but really it looks like it was built for people who haven't got a clue how to use a PC, and if I wanted that sort of "simplicity" then I would have brought a Mac. I absolutely DESPISE GNOME 3 and I'm really sorry if that has offended anyone.
All I want is the simple, minimal interface that I had with G2, with the cute little foot in the top left corner, my customised menus and the basic window effects; that's it. I don't want Duplo-sized icons, I don't want fancy effects and I don't want the 0.0001 seconds of speed difference or extra security and reliability, because I'd rather my PC burst into flames from some G2 bug than I ever use G3 to do my computing.

That's hilarious! lol.
G3 is actually pretty good. If you don't like gnome-shell - then simply don't use it. Compiz works really well in G3 ( i am using the latest version 0.9.5, compiled yesterday from source). you can customize gnome3 menus, much in the same way as Gnome2. However, the menus are fairly slow, when i compare them to my gtk2-menu - which had zero-delay in opening. I've actually removed gnome-panel and replaced it with other tools, as i found gnome-panel to be a bit lame in G3.....you may not mind it though.
anyways, I wouldn't be too worried about running G3 - a lot of people are in a scramble because they aren't interested in the shell. but the shell isn't a requirement. I think the developers would just prefer that everybody uses GS. while there was talk of not having it supported in the future, i doubt that will happen ~ as we all know Canonical will be porting Unity to run on top of the gnome 3 stack. (right now it uses gnome2). So i tend to think we should be able to run fallback, for a long time
it just might take some extra-tweaking, to get it the way you want your desktop to be. I'm now actually liking it better than gnome2, myself. but it did take a bit of adjustment, but "under the hood" - gnome 3 has some nice features and improvements ove G2...
theming isn't too difficult either - so if you don't like fat menus/giant icons... then, you can use a theme that doesn't have that - or edit your theme instead. (i sort of did both). I'm actually working on a nice dark theme, that has gtk2 style window-decorations (narrow/thin), slim menus and some other goodies. Gtk3 - looks really great too!

Problem with Gnome and D-Bus

Hi to all, i have a problem with Gnome and D-Bus
Versions:
Arch Release: 0.7.2 Testing
Gnome: 2.14.1-2
D-Bus: 0.61-3
Screenshot explain all:
[URL=http://img366.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gpwned6be.jpg][/URL]

1>then i can't promote garnome on this forum??
yeah you can, but not as a solution to gnome related problem in arch. cause this doesn't resolve anything.
2>You don't have to, garnome2.14.2.1(481kb) download the patches and patch it automatically, just change install dir to /usr
(ONLY if you are using console-linux who want gnome a try). of course there is need small arch related patch.(in my experience 0)
eh, i haven't got a clue what this means, putting patches upstream means they will get include in gargnome and upstream releases. i only tried to say we put a lot of our free time in gnome for arch.
2-1>Well said, so choice is the each one's freedom.
and this category isn't arch, this is Desktop Environments,
i installed arch, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEANS I SHOULD USE gnome FROM ARCH!!!
agreed, but again then we won't support your desktop.
ARCH != gnome
3>some bug stuff about Xorg-7.0, include mine
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=22210[/quote]
ah bugs.archlinux.org so it can be fixed.

No scrolling when viewing man pages with Gnome terminal?

Hi all,
I have just installed Oracle Solaris 11 on x86. For a long time I've used Solaris 9 on SPARC. I like the new OS, but I'm having a problem viewing man pages with Gnome terminal. When I view a long man page, e.g., "man newfs", I don't get a functional scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. And although the space bar works to advance the page, when I reach the end, it doesn't return to the command prompt. It just beeps, prints "END", and I can only exit by closing the window. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Suggestions would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris Tidy

It does sound like you're using "less" instead of more. When you see the "(END)" prompt you can simply type "q" and it will exit back to the command line prompt making it unnecessary to close the window. See the "less" manual page for more detail on the less command. Under Solaris 9 the paging was done with the "more" command. If you set the PAGER environment variiable to "more" the man page will use more and revert to the behavior you'd be used to with Solaris 9. Less erases the text you've already read when you type that final "q" which is a behavior I don't like. I didn't bother to determine if there is a way to fix that with less, I just went back to more. The choice between "more" and "less" is a personal preference.

[Solved] Pulse Audio won't work on newly installed system with Gnome

About a year ago I got a new computer and more or less retired my old one with my first arch install. Recently, I decided I would set it up as a Linux system for my sister. I first updated the computer, which broke it royally (since it was last updated before the /bin symlinking happened) but I eventually got it fixed. However, after doing that, Pulse Audio wouldn't work, then I broke X and decided to do a full reinstall.
Now, on this clean install, Pulse is again not working. I have set up Gnome and gdm to work, and everything works great except Pulse. The wiki says that Pulse with Gnome 3 requires no extra setup, so I have not edited conf files at all. I have, however, installed "pulseaudio-alsa", which created this conf file:
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
# vim:set ft=alsaconf:
which seems fairly standard. Anyway, I tried removing it and had the same problems. When I have Pulse Audio running and try to play sound, I get the error:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
which is obviously trying for ALSA, or from mplayer:
AO: [pulse] Init failed: Connection refused
Running "pacmd list" nets me:
Daemon not responding.
and pavucontrol gives me:
Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK
when I try to start it.
No pulseaudio commands seem to work (e.g. pulseaudio -k). They don't raise any errors, but also it doesn't have any effect on the server.
The only asound conf file is "/etc/asound.conf", clearing ~/.config/pulse does not fix the issue.
Journalctl does not seem to give anything interesting (Stale PID is the only message when starting Pulse), though admittedly I'm just vgrepping all of journalctl since I don't know how to narrow it down more, nor does the output from pulseaudio -vvvv. There are a lot of errors in pulseaudio -vvvv, but they all appear to be related to loading devices that don't exist, and so I assume not a problem, I can post it if necessary. Sometimes when I kill Pulse the process refuses to go away and I have to reboot in order to clear the process out, but I don't think that's related.
If I kill Pulse or keep it from starting on boot, I can play sound, but only through ALSA, and while I didn't have the problem I expected (I can still play multiple things simultaneously) there's still the issue that the volume buttons in Gnome will no longer work and that the volume levels ALSA reports are basically nonsense to a human being.
I basically just blurbed everything I thought of/found on the wiki or forums, and I'm not really sure where to go from here. It's a fairly old computer, so that could be related, and I'd be willing to dump Pulse if Gnome could integrate well with ALSA, but obviously fixing Pulse would be the preferred option.
Any suggestions on where to look next? I've run out of ideas.
Thanks.

Wonder if you have a conflict between two audio cards ... for example, I have a friend with some PulseAudio problems caused by conflict between the HDMI audio from his graphics card and his onboard sound. Something would switch PulseAudio to the wrong card and it would just quit after getting itself into a twist. Unsolved, I'm afraid, but have a look at commands such as:
aplay -l
pactl list sinks
pactl stat
(Latter two will need PulseAudio coaxed into life first)
and of course, the Arch wiki.
If there is a conflict, blacklisting kernel modules might also be needed.

Help required with Gnome 3 Input Sources

I used CapsLock before gnome 3.6 upgrade all working fine, however new Input Sources broke my system a little bit
I fixed my CapsLock by dconf-editor org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options ['grp:caps_toggle', 'grp_switch', 'grp_led:caps'], but I can't get work
- language switch indicator not working
- show-flags does nothing anymore
Any help fit is required because of usability issues

Also, with Gnome 3.6 it's no longer possible to switch layouts with the Caps key. That setting is not available even in gnome-tweak-tool.
I figured out how to do make the settings a lot more flexible, and fix all the layout bugs introduced by 3.6. This is done by configuring everything through setxkbmap and not letting gnome interfere with the settings.
Remove all input sources, and the typing shortcuts from gnome keyboard settings window.
Open dconf-editor and remove everything from "org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options". I was not able to set it to nothing, but setting it to ['grp_led:caps'] worked. These 2 steps were needed not to interfere with the config described below.
Install kbdd-git from aur, if you want separate layout for each window.
Create a script with preferred setxkbmap settings. Here is mine, setting Caps to switch languages, and swapping alt and win keys on MacBook.
#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap -layout us,ru
setxkbmap -option 'grp:caps_toggle'
setxkbmap -option 'altwin:swap_lalt_lwin'
# kbdd is needed to keep separate layout for each window.
`which kbdd` && kbdd
Launch gnome-session-properties and add this script to the list.

Does NVIDIA prop. work with gnome 3.2 now?

Has Anyone Tried Installing NVIDIA prop. and used it with gnome 3.2. Is the NVIDIA prop. driver updated to work with the new version of xorg-server.I'm trying to switch from nouveau to NVIDIA prop.

So fast! Thanks, i knew it wasn't a party with nouveau but was thinking maybe they would have fixed it for the older cards.

No screen lock with gnome 3

Hello guys
My major problem with gnome 3 is that I'm unable to lock my screen.
I tried every possible alternative such as locking after suspend via pm-suspend, the gnome-menu or closing the lid.
Even lock screen via the gnome-menu doesn't work.
Furthermore I changed my dconf and gconf multiple times ( especially the lock-use-screensaver setting) and tried every solution posted in the web. But nothing solved my problem.
I also tested using GDM in stead of SLIM ( which I prefer ) but this solved my problem neither.
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 3820TG Timeline X running the newest kernel ( 3.0 ) and Gnome 3.0.2.
If you need more information don't hesitate to ask!

I'm not sure what is "ridiculous".
When on a call using the iPhone's earpiece - holding the iPhone up to your ear and face during a call, the iPhone includes a proximity sensor to automatically turn the screen off or lock the screen when doing so - there is no need to press the sleep/wake button while holding the iPhone up to your ear and face during a call. When pulling the iPhone away from your ear and face during a call to look at the screen and to use the iPhone for something else during the call or to hang up the call, etc., the screen turns back on. This is done automatically.

Issue with Gnome 3.12 login and MOTD

Hello,
This may be trivial, but I've struggled to find an answer for a problem I now have following creating an motd. I wanted an motd especially for terminal / ssh logins, but had no idea Gnome would attempt (I believe it does anyway) to display the motd contents immediately after logging in.
Whilst this would not be an issue if it actually worked and displayed the motd rather than garbage (see image below). It makes my login time much longer as it hangs on the login screen, before finally reaching the desktop. If I blank the motd, this problem goes away, however, as said, I really want the motd for ssh and terminal use. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a way to disable Gnome from reading this file, or to display it correctly and not hamper my login times?
I'm running Arch x86_64 with Gnome 3.12 and would appreciate any time and help on this.

Problems with GNOME After The Last Upgrade

I have too many problems these days with my Arch box.. And I don't know when or how these problems are solved but I'm really bored about having problem all the time. I don't know all of these are bugs but if they're I'm ready to enter some bug reports.
1) After the last update, Metacity doesn't start automatically. So everytime, I don't have my mouse theme, my thema of borders of the windows, the notes I took with gnome's note applet doesn't disappear.
2) gnome-power-manager is never the same that I used to.. I just found that killing and rerunning it is at least make it work. But it's menus and options is not rich as I was earlier times. It doesn't say that much as it did in the earlier times.

I've same problem with gnome-power-manager, it works only when i kill it with killall gnome-power-monitor and re-run it.
About metacity i don't have problem with it.

[SOLVED] DWM running with gnome difficulties - cracked leaving GNOME!

UPDATE: concept as a perceived requirement has been scrubed. No longer needing Gnome's environment ... just some gtk/gnome libraries here and there though, obviously. See last post of mine here if ya like and you're rushed a bit.
Having problems getting gnome to live with DWM though I can compile myself as i just learned how from the wiki.
OBJECTIVE: retain at least the bottom menu bar of gnome (and program access) for a while yet .... while using DWM.
Hi... having the most amazing time with Xmonad, awesome, stumpwm, dmenu etc.
At this point I've realized that Xmonad and DWM have basically the same keybinding.
For how it work WELL, as it's an originator, and keeping it simple ummm.... was it 18k or 180k? hehehe (see other posts about dwm) I'm going to go with dwm for the forseeable future. they're all great though having done the studying it's really a simple decision.... If I wanted to swap to something else later I'd have the skill to know how simple that would be... dwm does cover ALL of what I sensibly need to work quickly and SIMPLY/manageably...
DUE TO UPDATE COMMENT AT TOP - SOME OF THE NEXT COUPLE OF POST IS REDUNDANT a BIT though maybe not:
So... I'm wishing to be able to access my folders and programs through the gnome menu as a fail-safe until I figure out how to get around any gottcha before I reinstall WITHOUT gnome (just some of the libraries obviously for packages that need them)
I really need to get going immediately with DWM and having had lots of fun with Xmonad (works easily with gnome though i like the simplicity of default DWM) ...
ALL I really need is what I now have left of gnome's desktop visibility which is the bottom bar with a menu applet embeded in it...
Actually.... IF there's a way to GRAPHICALLY see folders ie. boot programs without having to find the binary though would be cool.
Gnome can do it's thing in the background.... though right now ALL I can get by adding DWM WITH metacity in the gnome sessions properties leaves me WITHOUT the bootom bar that gets me to my programs...
yep, duh.
any assistance apreciated as I can't stand working without dwm (or similar tiling wm) though I'm too new at it and generally not skilled enough at this move to get to my program's ICONS... using dmenu for all booting just isn't practical for me today.. then again who knows what the next hour will bring! hehehe
So..... ANYONE have DWM code that'll work??? .... I think I'd prefer it to be stock otherwise...
whatver happens thanks and everything's so cool.... have learned SO much....

well as i remember, my own path was something like this...
Windozes -> PCLinuxOS -> (K-X)Ubuntu -> Arch(XFCE4(desktop environment)) -> Arch(Fluxbox(no DE)) -> Arch(wmii+gnu/screen) -> Arch(dwm+gnu/screen)
not talking about GNU/screen its like not talking about breathing to me right now at the beggining (like all i pass throught in GNU/linux) i can barely understand something "as complex" to understand like screen, but using it, showed me that EVERYTHING is a matter of understanding throught direct experience
so i'll recommend to you that you start looking to gnu/screen, is so damn easy to configure/use once you understand it, but difficult when you start reading about it, like dwm is in first place
what i do for file assosiations and such is using midnight commander (cli-file manager) and i edited a menu (F2 on a dir/file) and it popups showing the list of apps that i configured to open that file extension, i configured tuxcmd in the past but i didnt used it for months now...
here's the ~/.mc/menu i did... (i use urxvt as a daemon starting "urxvtd -q -f -o &" in .xinit, you may change "urxvtc" with your terminal emulator of choice... (i hope it will be urxvt(c) and not something like gnome-terminal )

[SOLVED]Script to replace compiz with metacity and the other way round

Hi. I would like You guys to help me. I don't want to use fusion-icon (many complex reasons I wouldn't like to state here, just please take it for granted) and I'd like to bind a key combination for a command which would let me replace compiz with metacity and the other way round. So I think I need a script.
What I'd need:
detect if compiz is running
yes -> metacity --replace
no -> compiz --loose-binding --replace
Can You help?

The scripts by mojlac024 replaces compiz by metacity when compiz is running, but when metacity is running it doesn't bring compiz back.
How to incorporate that test:
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz/dbus/screen0 org.freedesktop.compiz.list | wc -l
into the script?
PS.:
When compiz is running, it prints 1. But when compiz is not running, it prints:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.compiz was not provided by any .service files
0
So a simple logical test of "is this 0 or not?" won't work, I'm afraid.
