[Solved]Compiz Standalone without Emerald

Hi!
Does somebody know if it is possible to run Compiz Standalone without emerald, using Gnome`s gtk decorator?

pacman -S fusion-icon compiz-decorator-gtk
then launch fusion-icon and in "Select Window Decorator" choose Metacity
Actually it's gtk-window-decorator not metacity
EDIT: You might need to have gnome-settings-daemon running for this to work

[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?

Solved this by installing gxneur.

[SOLVED] Compiz standalone + dzen statusbar

I've recently started using compiz standalone.
Is there a way to prevent windows from going below the statusbar?
Edit: solved by starting dzen with the -dock option

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.

[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

Compiz without Emerald [SOLVED]

Hello
I want to use compiz, but without buggy Emerald decorator (just Metacity).
So, I have installed: compiz-decorator-gtk and fusion-icon packages. And I choose Metacity from context menu of fusion-icon.
Additionaly I've instaled: ccsm package, (to be able to easy chose some window effects) and I've selected some effects from it.
So far so good, but nothing happened.
My question is how to enable window effects (choosen from ccsm, like 'woobly window, minimize effect' and etc.) using Metacity?

You don't. Compiz is a window manager. Metacity is a window manager. If you activate one, the other is deactivated. If emerald is buggy, try gtk-window-decorator, I think (but I'm not sure) it's possible to use Metacity themes with it.
Then there's the possibility of using compiz-0.9.2. Search the forums, there are PKGBUILDs somewhere.
Is that means that I should choose 'Compiz' , not 'Metacity' from the context menu of fusion-icon, and use 'gtk-window-decorator --replace' in the 'Window Decoration' plug-in?

I managed to solve the issue commenting the --indirect-rendering flag and installing and launching driconf to create a default ~/.drirc file.
I just noticed that in the same upgrade I got intel-dri from 8.x to 9.x version, maybe it's related.
Launching a terminal in .xinitrc and manually launching
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose compiz --debug --replace ccp
show me a lot of errors, but it's working, and I don't need anymore the --indirect-rendering flag (in the past I put that flag in the command because of the bad performance that compiz had without).

Compiz-standalone appearance

Hi there,
this may be a silly question but im trying to fin out a way to customize the look of my compiz-standalone install, i have installed a them for emerald and now want to know how i can change the rest of the window looks (not just the borders) what packages do i install or commands do i use?
Thanks,
Sisco

I don't know if this is what you are asking for, but if you mean changing the qt and/or gtk theme for applications and such, the most obvious choices are qtconfig (should be there if you have qt installed) and/or lxappearance (it's in the repos), for example.

I don't see an issue, but if you mean why didn't you get most of your memory back you need to see what else is using storage. Go to Settings/General/Usage. Wait a bit for it to calculate storage allocation, then when it finishes you can see how much storage each app uses.

I duplicated a picture and now iPhoto (11) is cloning that picture replacing all the other photos and only when I click directly on them I can see the real picture! How can I solve the problem without losing any saved picture? Shall I re-install? Thanx

I duplicated a picture selecting CMD and D but, suddenly, iPhoto (latest version '11) started cloning that picture and replacing all the other photos with it.
Only when I click directly on one photo I can open it and see the real picture it is.
But the preview is always the duplicated one...
I tryed to duplicate another picture just to see if it turned out ok but the only changement was the duplicated picture!
I started repeating the second duplicated one instead of the previous one but my issue remained the same.
So, how can you help me to solve this problem without losing any saved picture?
Shall I re-install iPhoto completely?
Thank you very very much in advance!!

As Larry says, restoring the back up is the fastest and best solution. Otherwise:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Compiz Standalone?

I need help with compiz standalone. I have set it up according to the wiki. I can log in using slim. The problem is I cannot set up wireless. the network manager applet does not allow me to connect. Is there a fix and what other packages do I need to run compiz as a standalone window manager?

A little more info would be cool, like "I get the following error message: xy" or "I tried xy" and whether your interface is up at all.
And is your user part of the network group?

Compiz-Standalone, KDE...ERGH!

I pretty much can't decide between the two. I can set up a complete desktop environment with each one, but each has their own pros/cons....I can't decide which would be better if I were allowing others to use my computer (simply b/c they find it convenient to use a computer that's already on, so I created a guest account)...so far, here's what I've gathered from my current Compiz-Standalone setup & KDE setup:
Compiz pros:
KUPFER (helps since I can easily browse my files w/o thunar open)
lightweight
more eyecandy
cons:
I need TWO apps for changing my gtk+ theme completely
KDE pros: easy usr switching
plasmoids
auto-tabbing
easy configuration
cons:
fsrunner breaks consistently, which is the only thing I'd need to work in order to kick kupfer out since I'd be able to pull up most files by typing their names
recent documents only uses KDE accessed documents (I don't know if there's a way around this)
it froze when I had the extensions dialog open for OO.o, dunno why
Also, can someone tell me the pros/cons vs Geany & kate? From what I've seen in their plugins, they seem to share the same feature set except for HTML/XML completion.

True, although my mind irritates me with "If you aren't using KWin, remove it from the system!" But removing Kwin from the system w/o taking KDE along with it is impossible.

Right. This isn't hard to do at all. I have Compiz running nicely in KDE 4.4 because KWin was choppy. I just set Compiz as the default WM via System Settings -> Default Applications -> Window Manager. There's a slight flicker during KDE's splash while it loads, but it loads before the DE itself. There are a few drawbacks though.
- Wallpaper plugin doesn't work
- Desktop activities don't work properly (you can still manage virtual desktops via CCSM)
- Plasma animations and window previews don't work (but you can use Compiz plugins)
I believe there's going to be a Compiz release that's more tightly integrated with KDE4, but seeing as how KDE4 is 2 years old and the latest version of Compiz has been "looming" since September '09 who knews when or if that might happen.
I can do that, but as I said before, it sort of irritates me that I can't uninstall Kwin w/o taking the rest of the KDE w/it (otherwise I'd be fine w/either setup). Having the wallpaper plugin not working is fine for me since I have Plasma handle that if I'm in KDE. As for desktop activities, I don't really use them either, so that'd be fine too. I'm sure there was a plugin in Compiz that said "enable KDE Compatiblity" for fixing the thumbnail problem. Reinstalling KDE quickly to see if that fixes the thumbnail problem you mentioned.
[EDIT]: Reinstalled KDE and turned on that plugin I mentioned in Compiz. Sometimes my auto-hiding panel at the bottem doesn't pop up and it's animating the logout dialog.
[EDITEDIT]: Turned off built-in thumbnails and auto-hiding panel seems fine now. I let the system idle for a few minutes and wrote down the amount of RAM for each window manager + my plasma setup. Here's the numbers:
Compiz+KDE setup: 230.8 MB
KWin+KDE setup: 234.2 MB
It doesn't seem that different from each other. (I also now opened the extension manager of OO.o after reinstalling the plugins I had for it, it doesn't seem to crash KDE now)

Hi!,
does anyone knows how to (or if it's possible) run compiz-git without xgl nor aiglx? (using the new nvidia drivers), I know this is possible with beryl, but compiz-git won't run ok if xgl isn't loaded, it will show only a black screen with some white rectangles where the windows are supposed to be.
I love compiz-git, please help me
thanks a lot!

This is a modified version of startxgl script I made to run compiz against Nvidia beta driver libs instead Xgl mesa

Save this bash script to a file like "startnv", chmod it to 755 and start your X session with "startnv 0"
For me, it doesnt work well, I get choppy windows and strange errors but at least its an easy way to get direct rendering working.
I dont know you guys but I cant run both Doom III and Quake 3 at the same time looking perfectly with compiz running on Xgl, but I can do it with Nvidia beta drivers now -although as I said, I have lot of windows bugs...
I wish someone could explain us more about using compiz-git --not beryl-- WITH OUT Xgl

Compiz standalone theming

hello all I finally got a nice Compiz standalone desktop with tint2 and xfce4panel running but I was wondering how I can change the windows themes, like the colors and stuff.. it all looks very win98 ish and I'm REALLY tired of that look this bugs especially in pcmanfm or any configuration window.
dont know how to post screenshot....

use lxappearance, it's in the repos.
extract the themes in /home/your-user/.themes folder.
you can also extract icons and cursors in the .icons folder.
I assume you'll use a gtk theme, so run qtconfig and choose to use gtk+ in "gui style", so the qt applications match the gtk ones (only necessary if you use qt applications, like vlc or clementine, otherwise they'll look old regardless the gtk theme).
