I have used compiz before on this computer with other distros

then installed compiz pythonlxpup 8.8 sfs with on the fly
then installed lxpup 14.02 compiz setup pup

Just tested it on my HP laptop with Intel graphics and it all worked as expected.
I don't know where the message you mention would have come from as there is no driver checking in my sfs or pet - can you take a screen shot when it appears?
Your setup sequence all looks correct - can you check the md5's of the downloads:
LxPup-14.02-s-4g-190214.iso - 387bfe86d5a0466234e1ce4d10319220
compiz_python_lxpup-0.8.8.sfs - 4c20a5596e55ab401362c8f6aefb6922
lxpup14.02_compiz_setup.pet - a66bcec9ca1651cd6c2dcf21167d417c
Other than that I'm not sure what to suggest as it works OK for me....

Re: compiz slacko lx pup 1402
thanks so much for your prompt reply
I reinstalled from live cd to usb
then it seemed to work fine
the first install was using unetbootin
so, now what i'm dealing with is wonky stuff happening to my panels?
namely, icons disappearing and occasionally the entire panel will vanish when I right click on it and I'm left with completely blank desktop
whatever windows that are open are fine
but i'm unable launch anything else as the menu is gone
so I do a forced shut down and restart
when it reboots my panels come back,
but most icons still missing,
particularly from the system tray
anyway
loving this distro
it has fit and finish as good as any distro
simply amazing
wrayc
thanks again

Re: compiz slacko lx pup 1402
Confirmed - you have identified a real problem - this seems to be a problem with the version R694 of LxPanelX in LxPup14.02 which is SegFaulting in this configuration - it can be fixed by reverting to the R606 version used in LxPup13.11.wrayc wrote:so, now what i'm dealing with is wonky stuff happening to my panels?

I can upload the R606 pet but I should probably reissue the setup pet to include the fix.

Re: compiz slacko lx pup 1402

at least now I know its not just me and save me the trouble of trouble shooting this or that
thanks again

Updated setup pet for LxPup14.02
Updated to revert to LxPanelx-r606
Download the setup pet for use with LxPup14.02 (Slacko 'flavour' only)
Suggest - preferably start again with a clean savefile if frugal install or uninstall the previous setup pet before installing this one. Reboot after installation.

re: Updated setup pet for LxPup14.02
Thanks peebee for that
still having issues with icons in the app launcher of lxpanel appearing as default icons after reboot with message "file not found"
i think its related to changing theme etc
another question (off topic sorry)
regarding compiz, I like to set up a hot corner or button to view all windows
I only see option of "expose" that shows workspace overview which I dont use
oh also, any pet to tie my hardware volume control into alsa?
thanks thanks

Hi wraycwrayc wrote:update - still having issue
Really sorry to hear that you are having problems....
I'm at a bit of a loss to suggest what you could do as I don't really understand your setup or what you are trying to do with Compiz - I'm not a Compiz user myself so I'm not the best person to advise when it comes to Compiz configuration and use.
I think the best I can suggest is that you start again with a clean system and download the previous version of LxPup (13.11) from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/files/LxPup13.11/
choosing either the s-4g or the s-pae flavours...
then add Compiz as per:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 463#730463
reboot and make a clean savefile and then see how you get on with that.
Quite a lot of things have changed between 13.11 and the pre-release 14.02 that you are using and it may be that something else besides the LxPanel-r694 change is affecting Compiz...
Hope this helps

Something else to try....
I think that maybe LxPanel plays better with Compiz than LxPanelX.
This pet:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/f ... t/download
converts LxPup14.02 to LxPanel
It should be installed after the Compiz sfs has been installed but before this setup pet is installed:

thanks so much peebee for the suggestions
ok, I reverted back to my previously saved SFS file with only couple minor personalizations, like internet connection, chrome installed etc.
I have a feeling the issues have something to do with "theme" changes, that the save file gets corrupted., hence; "file not found" message and icons missing etc
so far, not changing the theme seems to solve the issue
but, I will attempt again, a I already have the sfs file backed up

ok peebee
I tried every single permutation on 14.02 LXpuppy
the last, being the most recent config you suggested
on new install with LxPup-14.02-s-4g-190214.iso
works fine for theme changes
then compiz_python_lxpup-0.8.8.sfs with sfs-load on the fly
then lxpanel-0.6.1-2-i686-lxpup.pet
then lxpup14.02_compiz_lxp_setup.pet
work fine on boot but after theme change
and after reboot
same issue
default icons in application launcher
system tray , however; seems fine

Changing the GTK2 theme does seem to have this effect. No idea why it works with the original theme but then doesn't if you change it....wrayc wrote:work fine on boot but after theme change

Try putting
Code: Select all
lxpanelctl restart
just before the for loop
This seems to work for me.
I've updated the setup pets with this change.

Installed frugal CompizPup 14.03 pae on a small ext3 partition onto an old notebook - Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 1655G - using an external monitor - Acer AL1711 .
CPU AMD Turion ML-34 , ATI EXPRESS 200M videocard.
Working fine with or without save file .Really nice , thank's peebee & all !
However if I try to make a custom remaster , Compiz breakes - so I use a savefile .
I tried it also on my main desktop but Compiz does not get along with my AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 7870XT card and I didn't made it to install the ati-pet for Slacko 5.7.0 and see it working on that machine .
