[SOLVED] Compiz Window Decorator Not Working

Hi,
I had compiz configured from an ubuntu install. I reset the config and even reinstalled and disabled gconf, enabling all required options.
and the problem
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.
what am I doing wrong

[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

Popups: Navigation from view to window does not work

Hi,
I open a second window as popup. This window has 2 views embedded, displaying view1 first. On some actions I would like to navigate to view2.
Defining an outbound plug on view1 and an inbound plug on view2, connecting them and firing the outbound withith the onaction works absolutely fine.
However, for some reasons I would like to avoid a direct navigation, but would like to navigate from view1 to the popupo window and from there to view2 (or maybe another view, ofcourse also embedded in the same popup window). Unfortunately I fail on this scenario - I can fire the view-to-window plug, but the destination on the window side (handle in method) is never reached.
Since the same concept works fine on non-popup windows I wonder whether a navigation from view to embedded window does not work for popups?
Any idea?

Hi Yashpal,
no, just one window.
The first link is view1 -> window, the second window -> view2.
I.e., I fire in the view the outbound plug, which is connected with its window.
In the window I fire an outbound plug, which is connected to view2.
In theory this should work - for non-popup windows I do not have any problem at all, however, for popup windows the navigation from view1 to the window is not processed.
In the meantime I played a little bit further: Instead of firing a navigation from view1, I now fire an event defined in the component contoller, on which an event method is registered within the window. Doing so, I reach the window, which I didn't reach via the navigation link. Once in the window, firing to view2 works just fine ...
Hope the issue is a bit clearer now. Also I found a solution, I am surprised that the simpler way via navigation does not work.

Same issue Network Discovery not working and Windows Update not working

I've read the threads.
This is a Vista Ultimate upgrade. My OOOOH My I have clocked 8 hours
Everything was working before. I tried all of the recommended services turning on restarting.
Also, ran into the problem of my memory being eaten. Suspected cause hibernate mode, which I had to disable. Scott Hasselman blog recommended the fix which is a cheap work around that limits machines functionality!!
I'm and IT Engineer specializing in MS product lines since Windows 1.0. MFC foundation classes etc.. What is the real problem ?
I don't have the NetBIOS over tcp/ip in my services?
I figure that the cost of my time and other individuals pays for the OS four times over. Give me a Microsoft developer subscription or something to make me happy. This is my development machine and I'm loosing time and money.
FYI, Just upgraded my second machine to Windows 8.1 OMG !!2 Hours to upgrade after the download. I loose my configuration settings. I required to have a Windows Live whatever account!!! This is not the way to compete and keep customers.
Windows XP has been by far the best deployment experience. I need a Knowledge base that gives solutions , not a troubleshooting scenario that does or does not work!!
Please , don't tell me to go and by a OEM Surface I cannot recommend this to my clients.
Thank You

Hi,
If it worked previously, a quick solution is to run System Restore and get back to the previous status when the issue didn’t occur.
What is System Restore?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-System-Restore
When you turn on network discovery, do you get any error prompt?
Please check if you have any error message about network discovery in event viewer.
Open Event Viewer
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer
What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer
Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the Error logs to a public folder and share the URLs with us.
Also, please temporarily turn off your firewall and all the security programs for a test.
As far as I know, Network discovery requires that the DNS Client, DNS Client, Network Connections, Network Location Awareness, Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Function Discovery
Resource Publication, TCP/IP Netbios helper, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host services are started and set to automatic.
You should check again if you have started all these services.
Regarding the update issue, I suggest you try the following suggestions.
1. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus program to test the issue.
2. Open the Windows Update troubleshooter
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter
3. Reset Windows Update components

Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first., Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first.

I have installed BootCamp 5.1 and Windows updates not working because it extract files on Mac partition before installation. Is there any workaround for same ?

To replicate this issue - Try to download .net framework 4.5 from microsoft website and than run that setup on windows partition.
Before installation. it will first extract all the binaries to a other drivers, since in my case other primary drive is E which is a Mac partition so it always give me an error while extractiing and therefore setup is not able to execute propely.
Let me try to get the screen shot of error and send it here.

Compiz, GTK window decorator not getting along with metacity

Hello,
Today gtk-window-decorator managed to break on my machine, resulting in no window decorations. I'm using emerald as a temporary solution, but I'd prefer to go back to gtk-window-decorator if possible. When I start compiz, the following occurs:
gtk-window-decorator: error while loading shared libraries: libmetacity-private.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I found some posts that suggested using metacity2 instead of metacity, but I'm using compiz-bzr from the AUR which lists metacity as a dependency which conflicts with metacity2. I tried downgrading metacity, but that didn't help. I'm not entirely sure where to go from here.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your help!
Installing the stable version of compiz got gtk-window-decorator working again, but now I have no minimize or maximize buttons on any gtk theme (only a close button), and gtk-window-decorator throws me
(gtk-window-decorator:23942): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type '(null)' in cast to 'WnckWindow'
gtk-window-decorator: Ignoring unknown or already-used button name "appmenu"
EDIT: This problem was solved by running
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout "'menu:minimize,maximize,close'"
for future reference to anyone who stumbles across this post. Thanks again for the help!

Brightness at Windows 7 not working - solved

In my T400 with Windows 7 installed I had the problem that the brightness adjustment didn't work.
I searched all forums and installed all new released drivers for Windows 7 (released version) but it didn't solve my problem (including hotkey-driver).
Now I got it: I installed the new BIOS for my T400 and now all is working properly.

You can start up from your Mac hard drive, you just need to hold down the option key when restarting your iMac, also this link will help you solve the Windows problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2600

[SOLVED] OSCDIMG Tool Does Not Work on Windows 10? ReadFile() fails with error code 87. (The parameter is incorrect) on ReFS Storage Space Mirror

Figured it myself.
For some reason, the tool does NOT support source locations on ReFS formatted drives. Move the D:\ISOFOLDER location to NTFS formatted drive, and the tool works flawless:

NAC SSO in Windows 7 not Working

I'm having problems with SSO process on workstations with Windows 7 and I need help to solve it.
ENVIRONMENT:
Clean Access Manager: 4.9.0
Clean Access Server: 4.9.0
Clean Access Agent: 4.9.0.33
Compliance Module: 3.4.27.1
Windows Domain : Windows 2003 Server Full Functional Level
Status of Active Directory SSO: Started
More Informations:
In Windows Domain Controller, i ran the follow command with no errors:
ktpass –princ NAC_USER/[email protected] -mapuser NAC_USER –pass mypass –out c:\nac_user.keytab –ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL
The file nac_user.keytab was created in c:\ of DC.
in Windows XP Workstations, SSO is working correctly
in Windows 7 workstations work when i manually enable DES in "Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies/Security > Options > Network security > Configure encryption types allowed"
I have many workstations running Windows 7 and can not do this manual procedure in all of them.

Hi Guys,
When I changed the files /perfigo/access/tomcat/conf/krb.txt and /perfigo/access/bin/starttomcat in CAS according to the configuration guide:
/perfigo/access/tomcat/conf/krb.txt
[libdefaults]
kdc_timeout = 20000
default_tkt_enctypes = RC4-HMAC
default_tgs_enctypes = RC4-HMAC
permitted_enctypes = RC4-HMAC
and
/perfigo/access/bin/starttomcat
CATALINA_OPTS="-server ... -DKRB_OVERRIDE=true"
an error was generated in nac_server.log when i tried run SSO Service.
ERROR:
2012-03-07 11:52:50.655 +0100 Thread-77 ERROR com.perfigo.wlan.jmx.adsso.GSSServer               - Unable to start server ... KDC has no support for encryption type (14)
But I remembered that during the changes, I checked the options for the user account I'm using to run the service to Use DES encryption types for this account.
When i uncheck this option in user account options and kept the changes to files krb.txt and starttomcat, the SSO service started with no errors and Windows 7 users now do the SSO too.
tks,

Desktop Bluetooth Windows 7 Not working

I have a BB 9000 that I have been trying to connect with desktop manager 6.0 by Bluetooth in Windows 7. Windows 7 pairs with the 9000 with no issue, but then the DT does not find the device. I have also removed the pairing with win 7 and had DT locate the 9000 on its own, it finds it but when I go to connect it asks me for a pairing code, which I do not have, so I go back to win 7 and pair, as soon as I do that the DT loses the 9000 as a connection option.
I have read many postings about the broadcom driver being a problem, so I installed it and then nothing worked, so I had to do a system restore.
I can not use my usb since it is not working on the device, the only option I have is the bluetooth, can anyone help?

IE 11 - Sharepoint open in windows explorer not working

In my IE 11 - Sharepoint open in windows explorer don't work.
It appear always error message "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer"
Already installed FIX ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2846960)
Restart laptop
Then Sign in to the SharePoint Online site with Keep me signed in option
But still dont work.
This happens in all libraries. This issue happens in our corporate intranet. I had this issue in another laptops but with the Microsoft FIX and following all that steps, it solved.
But for whatever reason now i have 2 machines that even after applying the same Fix and steps still continues not working.

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you cannot use “open with explorer” in 2 machines in your farm.
If you have installed Desktop Experience feature in your environment, please add your SharePoint Server(http://spserver) to Local intranet site with steps below:
Open “Internet Options” menu.
Click “Security” tab.
Click Sites.
Click Advance.
Enter your SharePoint Server, click Add.
Close and apply.
Restart your browser, and test your issue.
