[solved]compiz standalone session not working

So I tried setting up a standalone compiz session with a few graphical apps auto starting but all i get is a black background and a mouse pointer that I can move.
I've tried consulting the wiki, read the .desktop file documentation available online and tried looking for related options in the lightdm config.
Example .desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Synapse
Exec=synapse
Type=Application
BTW: I'm typing from my cellphone so I dont know if the font is gigantic or if it's just my display, sorry if the font is huge

Autostarting programs when using a display manager
One way in which you could start programs with your Compiz session, when it is started from a display manager, is to use an xprofile file. The xprofile file is similar in syntax to xinitrc - it can contain commands for programs you wish to start with your session. Most display managers will parse commands from an xprofile file by default.
Alternatively, you could use Compiz's 'Session Management' plugin. This plugin will save running programs on exit and restore them when the session is next started. Simply enable the 'Session Management' plugin in CCSM}.
Yeah, in the end I figured I should try it even though it was written in the xprofile article it cannot start gui programs and it worked, thanks for the help
and thanks progandy I"ll check it out as a way to start the gui in the future

whenever I start it, it does not have a window decorator/border and I cannot move the windows, despite setting it up properly and trying emerald and gtk window decorator and starting them manually.

Option of 'Restore Last Session' not working. Is there any option to repair the 'Mozilla Firefox' without loosing History?

Option of 'Restore Last Session' not working. Is there any option to repair the 'Mozilla Firefox' without loosing History?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

[Solved]Compiz Standalone + Layout switching: how?

Hi!
I`m trying Compiz standalone at the moment, and while everything works at the moment, i ran into problems with layout switching. While using Openbox, i had XXKB configured properly to remember all my three layouts (english, russian, latvian ) for every application opened, and AXKB running in tray to show my current layout.
When i switched to Compiz, xxkb doesn`t work anymore. It shows up in the running processes, but it doesn`t do anything.
Any other apps i can use with compiz? Any specific configuration in xxkb config file?

Last edited by abiotic (2014-01-24 11:52:56)

Okay solved the problem now. Here's how I did it:
First I install compiz-alone-utils-git from AUR.
Change /etc/slim.conf line (remove dbus-launch):
login_cmd exec ck-launch-session /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
Change ~/.xinitrc:
exec compiz-alone-session
The remaining autostart applications put into ~/.config/compiz/autostart.sh:
# This shell script is run before Compiz launches.
# Environment variables set here are passed to the Compiz session.
# Set a background color
BG=""
if which hsetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
BG=hsetroot
else
if which esetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
BG=esetroot
else
if which xsetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
BG=xsetroot
fi
fi
fi
test -z $BG || $BG -solid "#202020"
# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null 2>&1 && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
# Run XDG autostart things. By default don't run anything desktop-specific
# See xdg-autostart --help more info
DESKTOP_ENV="COMPIZ"
if which /usr/bin/xdg-autostart >/dev/null 2>&1; then
/usr/bin/xdg-autostart $DESKTOP_ENV
fi
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd'
nvidia-settings -l
sh ~/.fehbg &
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources &
volumeicon &
xfce4-panel &
conky &
covergloobus &
(you can find the skeleton file within /etc/xdg/compiz/autostart.sh)
The relevant part is the xdg-autostart part within the autostart.sh it seems.
Commenting it out resurrects the problem.

Setting of "opening web pages from last session"not works when open next time

In Options, setting to "open windows & tab pages from last time" does not work. I have tries several time but nothing happens. have written to you earlier also , please help

''setting to "open windows & tab pages from last time" does not work.''
That would be very surprising but a change was made to Firefox 4 to always have the choice of going to History ("Alt+S") and choose "Restore previous session".
With Firefox 5 coming out in a few days (June 21-22) you might try again then, if the solution the developers built in does not work for you. Do you know about pinning tabs ('''app-tabs''') they persist across sessions as a convenience -- if I really want to keep something permanently then I would bookmark such things as a group. Because they can be closed easily.

[SOLVED] DPMS screen off not working with xorg 1.16.0, gnome 3

After the update of xorg into 1.16.0-2, screen is not turned off by DPMS in GNOME.
I also tried an manual command:
$ xset dpms force off
but it's not working.
In other WM, this command is working.
With xorg 1.15.2 and gnome 3, there is not this problem.
When I entered the command, the screen turned off for a couple of seconds and turned back on.

[solved] NFS client will not work correctly

I have all my $HOME on an NFS Server. So long I used suse and debian, now I want switch to arch but the nfs-client ist not working correctly:
I start "portmap nfslock nfsd netfs" over rc.conf. When I do a "rpcinfo -p <ip-arch-system>" I got the following
stefan:/home/stefan # rpcinfo -p 192.168.123.3

As you see "status" is missing, so the statd is not running. It sould look like the result on my suse box:
stefan:/home/stefan # rpcinfo -p 192.168.123.2
Program Vers Proto Port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper

100021 4 udp 32768 nlockmgr
100024 1 tcp 35804 status
100021 1 tcp 35804 nlockmgr
100021 3 tcp 35804 nlockmgr
100021 4 tcp 35804 nlockmgr
There is the "status" line and so the statd is running.
How can I fix that problem, so that statd ist running on my arch box too?

The Problem ist solved.
I use ldap for authentication. During the setup of the ldapclient I copied the nsswitch.ldap to nsswitch.conf. But the line for "hosts:" was:
hosts: dns ldap
but in my dns ist no localhost entry. After I changed this line to:
hosts: files dns ldap
everything was ok. The statd is now running and I can start to migrate to archlinux ;-)

MyRIO standalone application not working, but works well when connected to PC (NI vision + webcam)

Hi,
I have a program that can detect motion that occurs in my room using a webcam and will send a picture to my gmail account if motion detected. The program works fine when myRIO is connecting to PC (with the webcam connects to myRIO). However, after I created a standalone application, it's not working. Even the VIs within the first frame of the flat sequence (turn LED on) was not working. The standalone program will work if I disable all of the vision-related VIs. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I got the driver installed and the webcam connected, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks in advance.
-Robin

I have a 30 GB version of the same. I also got some external speakers for it, UBL I think they are called. I find there is something very odd about whether you charge it up or not. It seems to over-charge sometimes, and then everything freezes. As for connecting to the PC, no chance. After an initial burst on another machine, and after installing itunes on this computer, there is no recognition of the one by the other at all. Plus freezing and locking up. Plus freezing the PC as well, it is very tedious. So no answers, only commiserations. I think Apple are doing a very poor job on this ! And their help facility seems quite hopeless !

[Solved] Wacom pen buttons not working

Hi, this is probably simple to fix, but I don't understand everything well enough to get it set up. I have a Fujitsu T5010 with internal Wacom tablet. The Wacom drivers are installed. I can use the pen to move the pointer, and click. However, the buttons on the side of the pen do not work.

[SOLVED] Cinnamon appearance settings not working.

I have a strange problem concerning Cinnamon 2.2.0-1 from [community-testing], in which some appearance settings simply do not work. Specifically, I can't change icons or gtk theme, and making any change in cinnamon-settings has no effect whatsoever on the system. I've tried changing the appearance with lxappearance to some success - now the panel and some Gnome3 applications show the selected theme and icons, but the rest of the applications keep the old appearance settings. I have no .gtkrc files in my home folder and I start Cinnamon from LightDM.
This is the output from running cinnamon-settings from a terminal:

[SOLVED] cat6500 vlan filtering not working

Hello!
I have cat 6500 with SUP32-GE-3B/MSFC2A/PFC3B, s3223-adventerprisek9-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin,
and WS-X6148-GE-TX module.
And I have a couple of 3750G.
On all of 3750G there is a broadcast filtering of VLAN 4000, and it's working:
mac access-list extended badhosts
permit any host ffff.ffff.ffff
vlan access-map dropbad 10
action drop
match mac address badhosts
vlan access-map dropbad 20
action forward
vlan filter dropbad vlan-list 4000
Then i copy this config to 6500, and it's not working. I configured two ports, one is switchport access vlan 4000 and other is switchport capture allowed vlan 4000, and i see on both ports same broadcast traffic. Filter is working, but packets are not dropping. I've tried to find something in manual, but found only about platform cwan acl software-switched, enabled it, nothing changed.
cat6500# sh vlan filter
VLAN Map dropbad:
Configured on VLANs: 4000
Active on VLANs: 4000

i think i solve the problem: to make vlan filtering to work on 6500, i've added:
# conf t
(config)# int vlan 4000
(config-if)# no shut
(config-if)# mac packet-classify
Now, how to mark this question answered?
