How to solve? Thanxs in advance.

I have the same problem
It seems that Emerald is really unstable and keeps crashing when you try to use Application Switcher (Alt + Tab).
Just use GTK Window decorator until the problem is fixed.

KDE window borders disappear when 2 or more users logged in

I spent a very frustrating Saturday afternoon trying to debug what I thought was a corrupted kde install. In short, if someone would try this & see if you get the same results, I'd appreciate some feedback:
- Logged in through KDM as a regular user or root
- After KDE is loaded, click on the Kicker button > Switch User > Start new session
- Login as another user (or root)
- At this point, when I look at any window in my new KDE session, its borders are gone... IE I have no buttons or borders showing with app I'm using, thus I can't click on the X or other buttons to minimise/close/resize the app in question
- It makes no difference which account I log into first...I experimented with trying to log in as root first, then as a user or vice versa
I tried to install the user account several times using various methods but the issue persisted. I ended up trying an entirely different account and saw the same results which made me realize that my account I'd started with is not corrupted at all. This leads me to believe there is either a strange bug in KDE or some system setting I'm using is forcing this behaviour in my installation. I'd like to find out which is true or not true.
Feedback welcome.

webweave,
Welcome to the Apple discussions!
Generally, as discussed above, having 2 mount points for the same disk in the volumes folder won't prevent a successful backup. But in your case (#15!), that's a problem. More often than not, they are being created by Time Machine because you already have one or more instances of the Time Capsule disk mounted on your desktop. Ejecting the TC disk when it is not needed is the best way to avoid creating multiple mount points.
If you have any further questions, please post them in a new thread. You can refer back to this discussion with a link if necessary.
Cheers!

Starting gtk-window-decorator
Thanks for your help.

Hey Silvio,
as far as I know, you should install compiz fusion, see here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_Fusion.
The wiki you mentioned is deprecated, I think.

Window Handles Lost When Using Compiz-Fusion

Well, I decided to try using compiz-fusion with LXDE, and as soon as I started up fusion-icon, my window title bars are gone. Only way I can get them is by setting my window manager to OpenBox, but that means not being able to use compiz-fusion's eye candy. Anybody know what to do to fix this problem?

Got it figured out. Needed to enable "move windows" and "resize windows" as well. EVERYTHING is disabled by default

Gtk-window-decorator missing after installing Compiz-Fusion

I just installed ArchLinux and wanted to try out Compiz-Fusion in Gnome. I installed it using the Compiz-Fusion wiki's instructions. Everything works fine, except that I can't use the gtk-window-decorator. After some research I found out that this file is missing. I checked out the Compiz-Fusion site, and it seems it ought to come with Compiz-Fusion. I checked in Linux Mint and found it there, so obviously it's missing in my ArchLinux box.
Can someone please veryfy if it should be part of the Compiz-Fusion packages?

See the second posting.
Oups! I searched for 'gtk-window-decorator'. It could be nice to mention these separate packages on the wiki Compiz-Fusion page. There are probably many out there looking for them.
Thanks!

Compiz-fusion + gtk-window-decorator minimize and maximize missing

I am running GNOME using x64 at work, and here since the upgrade to 2.24, my minimize and maximize buttons are missing using the GTK-window-decorator in Compiz.
I have had this problem at home using my i686 system when I used the testing repository, but the problem was fixed in the packages that entered the extra repository.
Now I wonder why this problem still exists in the x64 packages. I did not test the former testing packages because I have to do my daily work on this pc.
Please help me. Is there a broken package that was not fixed in the x64 repo or do I need to do something myself?

I solved the problem myself. The compiz-decorator-gtk needs to be rebuild against the new metacity and compiz. Please replace the package!

Compiz-fusion, nvidia GeForce 8600M GT, no Compiz-fusion configurator.

Hi there,
I have few issues with the Compiz-fusion...
1. I have the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT card, one thing is for sure - i can play The Witcher without any trouble. And Compiz-Fusion is running very slow... Maybe not very slow, but i think, that a card that can handle The Witcher - should have no trouble with sth like Compiz-Fusion... I've installed the newest Nvidia drivers, everything seems to be OK... But it isnt... C-F is running slow, making me mad ;]
2. I can't use the ccsm... AFAIK, ccsm should be the graphical configurator for Compiz-Fusion... But i have some trouble with locales... i'm using Polish locales, and the (standard?) en_EN UTF8 locales...

Thanks for the reply.
I did that, restarted Xserver with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
no black screen after fusion-icon command this time (I suppose because Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" is off)
but when i select Compiz as a Window Mnager from fusion-icon I have no borders in my windows and no effects and I canot switch throw windows. Why is that...?
after fusion-icon command I take this exit:
* Detected Session: kde
* Searching for installed applications...
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!
* Using the GTK Interface
* Starting Compiz
... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp

Unable to get Compiz Fusion working...

I'm aware this isn't a new issue, but the Wiki has so far been unable to solve my queries.
I've just freshly installed Arch on my new PC: Pentium-D 3.8Ghz, 2Gb of RAM and an ATi Radeon X1950 Pro (PCI-E).
I've installed Compiz Fusion as suggested via the wiki. When I run the fusion icon and activate compiz, I am left with no window borders and no working compiz. I've followed the troubleshooting section on the wiki to no avail. The problem remains.

[SOLVED] Compiz-Fusion and mouse pointers

Hello,
I am having a bit of trouble using Gnome with Compiz-Fusion and trying to use the Vienna 3 Rapture mouse theme, or any non-default theme for that matter. Said theme worked fine for me in Fluxbox, but since I started using Gnome/Compiz it isn't working right.
I have my TV as a dual monitor, and the Vienna pointer works fine on it. On my main monitor though I get the standard black cursor. I can change it to red or white glass, but I can't get Vienna or any other cursor to appear on the list of pointers to change too. My mouse does switch to Vienna in Google Earth, but that's the only app I've seen so far that it works in.
Sometimes when I start X the Vienna cursor will appear for a moment before being overridden and sometimes it goes straight from the 'X' pointer to the default Gnome pointer. Perhaps on those occasions it just happens to fast for me to see.
I found a tip on a forum (that I can't find now to link to unfortunately....) that mentioned adding 'xsetrroot -cursor_name something something' (sorry I can't remember the exact command) to ~/.xinitrc before gnome-session. That didn't help at all. One thing I wasn't sure of though is whether to actually type '-cursor_name' or whether I should type the name of my cursor. I know that sounds stupid but the tip on the forum said to type it EXACTLY as shown. Generally they make a note of saying 'use your real path instead' or something of the like.
I have my mouse themes, several of them, not just this one, and all of which worked in Fluxbox, setting in ~/.icons but they don't show up in the list of cursors available. My Vienna cursor is still set apparently since it works on the TV, which is of course running Gnome/Compiz also.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong here? Thanks for any advice.

While I haven't figured this out yet, oddly enough after a restart (which I have done before) the cursor is 'kind of' working. It shows on the desktop and on the window borders, but not IN apps like Firefox or Pidgin.
It does however still work in Oxine. So I'm at a loss as to what's wrong and why it suddenly started partially working. Any ideas any one?
***I also noticed that the cursor is working in the 'Appearance' window, as well as some other config windows like the one for avant window navigator. It works in 'calculator' on the buttons, but if I were to hover over the display then it reverts to the default cursor.

I'm just using an xorg.conf that was generated with #X -configure, and have also tried one generated with hwd -x. Both detect "sis" as the video driver. Listing below...
Am I right to assume that this means that the video in not compatible with compiz? Or could it be some settings that need to be tweaked.
Thanks for any advice.

Are you 100% sure? I just run glxinfo and it says:
direct rendering: Yes
And I'm confused. Are there any chances of getting compositing to work on SiS card in this case?
I'm not the expert here, but compiz can work with indirect rendering, so I don't think that's the qualifier for if it works for your system.

[SOLVED] Gnome + xf86-video-ati = Compiz-fusion can't start wo f-i

I know this is not a new issue but... let's try again.
The title is pretty much the situation. I reinstalled the whole system recently and installed Catalyst which worked good except for a delay on maximizing/resizing windows. Yesterday I saw the new about Catalyst going to AUR and all that stuff so I decided to switch to open source drivers. They work pretty good but the wiki-way to start compiz without fusion-icon which used to work with catalyst does not work anymore.

In your compiz.desktop instead of:
Exec=compiz ccp
It should be:
Exec=compiz --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering
Edit:
If you still have problems after that you need to export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1, which is what fusion-icon is doing.

Compiz or compiz-fusion on intel

I tried to run compiz from [community] then compiz-fusion from [compiz-fusion] on Intel video card, but failed.
Beryl works correctly, but compiz wants texture from pixmap.
I have AIGLX and Composize correctly configured.
Can you run compiz on intel?

OK, it works, thanks, but how to automate it?
This is my current .xinitrc:
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
gtk-window-decorator &
compiz ccp &
#unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT
exec xfce4-session
as you can see "unset" is commented out, without it it doesn't work.
I also can't use LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT in the same line, because it doesn't work this way in .xinitrc.
When I use such solution - each other application starts in indirect mode (i.e. without acceleration).
Solutions:
1) start compiz manually - unacceptable
2) use my .xinitrc - problem with new OpenGL applications (I need to unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT somewhere else)
3) ???

Segmentation fault
I also tried launching it with dbus but got the same problem.
I see that I'm missing the texture_from_pixmap but I'm not sure how to fix that. Help?

Along with all the other problems in this world that are all Adobe's fault.
OK so this all went pear shaped after updating Windows to 8.1? Have a look at Preferences > Performance and see if Graphics acceleration is still checked. Or it might even be greyed out. Apparently the 8.1 installer arbitarily installs a generic graphics card driver, so you might find that your drive is not so up to date as it used to be.
You know that you need to update it from the card maker's site?

Correct way of starting compiz fusion on GNOME

This is actually a really minor issue, but something that has been irritating me for a while.
I've experimented with two ways of starting compiz fusion, first adding fusion-icon to the session startup list. However, this results in metacity being loaded and then compiz fusion being loaded afterwards, which created this flicker which I don't really like.
The second way is adding another xsession that sets WINDOW_MANAGER to something else and then starting the gnome session. On Gnome 2.22 this works somewhat. If I set WINDOW_MANAGER to "compiz ccp" everything works fine, except that it doesn't load emerald and doesn't start with loose-bindings (expected). Then I tried setting it to "compiz ccp --loose-bindings"; this caused it to hang at the gnome splash screen for a good 2-3 minutes, also anyting else other than "compiz ccp" caused the same hang. Setting it to fusion-icon, or compiz-manager, also caused the same hang.
Now on Gnome 2.24, the WINDOW_MANAGER var doesn't seem to do anything anymore, and the only way I can start compiz before the gnome session is to run compiz ccp &, fusion-icon &, etc. before exec gnome-session. This however, causes my screen to go black and hang for about a few minutes before working normally.
Am I doing something wrong? I want compiz fusion to be used as my window manager instead of metacity, is there no easy way of doing that? or do I have to resort to loading metacity and then replacing it with compiz fusion?
Thanks.

Also tried a method similiar to this: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 04#p438904 but using fusion-icon instead of dropbox.
There still seems to be a noticable delay between fusion-icon is loaded and the desktop being usable.
I'm experiencing the same. I was going insane trying to load compiz INSTEAD of metacity as per http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Com … sion.22.29. Oh well, I guess it can't be done. WIERD.
The annoying thing about this is that if I start up programs and they start before compiz is loaded, wierd things happen (like buttons missing on the top etc). Also, I can't for the life of me get session-management to work with compiz-fusion and gnome 2.24..

Help setting up Compiz Fusion standalone with gdm, inittab, and tint

Hello!
I'd like to set up my fresh Arch install with Compiz Fusion standalone, using twim, and gdm as the login manager. This all with the inittab method of booting with gdm. Openbox is nice, but I have a fast PC - while I like minimalism, effects are nice.
I've looked at the wiki instructions, and a few forum threads, but haven't so far got it working.
Could someone please explain the different config files I will be working with, and how they mesh together? As in, what process does the system follow through them? Does ~/.xinitrc factor in, or is it only called through startx? That sort of thing.
And, does anyone know if Compiz Fusion will 'mesh' with tint, and provide the same mouse-over image previews of windows available in GNOME?
Thanks

If you'll be using gdm create a file called fusion.desktop ("fusion" can be anything you want to name your session and will appear in gdm session listing). Place this file in /etc/X11/sessions.
Mine for reference:
/etc/X11/sessions/fusion.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Fusion
Comment=Compiz Fusion Standalone
Exec=/usr/local/bin/start-fusion.sh
TryExec=/usr/local/bin/start-fusion.sh
Type=Application
Then you need to create a script and place it in /usr/local/bin. As you can see from my fusion.desktop file I've named the script start-fusion.sh. Here's mine for reference:
/usr/local/bin/start-fusion.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Avoid relying on autolaunch to improvise D-Bus sessions for each process
if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
#compiz ccp &
#emerald &
sleep 6 && cairo-dock &
sleep 12 && mplayer /usr/share/archlinux/arch-anim.mov &
exec fusion-icon
Make the script executable (do all above as root or use sudo) and you should be able to use gdm to login.
Does ~/.xinitrc factor in, or is it only called through startx?
Well, that would be the case if starting from runlevel 3. You would then want to add a line like this to it:
exec start-fusion.sh
btw: fusion-icon is used rather than the #'ed out method in start-fusion.sh as it provides a way to exit out of the session.
You can also use compiz-deskmenu from aur to provide you with a menu in your fusion session.
As far as tint is concerned, I haven't used it. I use cairo-dock which has a systray plugin. Advantage being I can use it as a widget and hide it away.
