Puppy 3 already has those files. . . My CompizFusion dotpet is only for Puppy 3. With Puppy4 you will get a "Segmentation Fault" error.

The source code for xvinfo is here(for X11R7.2):
xvinfo-X11R7.0-1.0.1.tar.bz2

Any chance this Window Manager might one day be available in an SFS file? like XFCE4 is?

wow · #85 Post by **wow** » Sat 12 Apr 2008, 01:28

@stevenbinion: this window manager is not like XFCE4(XFCE is a desktop environment), the window manager in xfce4 is xfwm4 and making an SFS for xfwm4 is a bit useless if you don't have replacements for the taskbar, menu bar, desktop, etc.

I prefer it if only the main windows and the desktop itself were on the cube faces, and for the panels not to slide all over the place when navigating around the desktop wall.

Have fun!

I get a similar problem to the one divisionmd had earler. When I ran Compiz-manager is the console, compiz didn't seem to start as it couldn't find Xgl, but emerald did start. Now I can't manage my windows, the top of them are missing (the place where you usually grab them with the cursor when moving them, can't remember what its called atm...), so it seems the window manager isn't working propely. I don't know how to restart compiz or restart the old Xfce window manager, and if I type compiz-manager again I get

Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
no /usr/bin/metacity found, exiting

gxlgears is working though, getting around 200 FPS.

My hardware is an Asus Eee.

Thanks

EDIT: I just hate it when people ask for help then don't bother telling about the solution if they find one. To start Xfce's window manager, xfwm, just type xfwm4 in the console!

Now to get Compiz working...

wow,is this package also compatible with Puppy 4.00 Dingo?

Also,no matter what I do I can't manage to download a single file from that bloody filefront site.It's one of the few sites that gives me problems.I have referrers,redirection,cookies and everything else enabled in the browser,but it just shows a "download failed,click here to try again" error and that goes on and on in an endless loop

Could you upload the files to a more reliable,crap-free upload site, such as this one: http://www.qshare.com <- currently one of the best upload sites on the net

ArthurDent · #90 Post by **ArthurDent** » Sat 31 May 2008, 00:18

@jickel the eeePC has an intel graphics card, did you follow those instructions ?

i'm working on putting together a package that adds compiz to pupeee so any information you have would be appriciated

( btw wNOP does run, but at the wrong res, thats easy to fix (add a couple of lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, not sure on the specifics) but you will also have to set up the rest of the hardware by hand)

tombh · #91 Post by **tombh** » Sat 31 May 2008, 10:12

I've tried the latest Compiz-Fusion package in NOP 4.0 and I get a segmentation fault. Has anybody else tried?

olovram · #92 Post by **olovram** » Tue 10 Jun 2008, 04:23

Hey, when I try to run COmpiz fusion on my HDD install I got this:

Code: Select all

# Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
compiz (core) - Fatal: Root visual is not a GL visual
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

[1]+  Exit 1                  LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 INTEL_BATCH=1 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp

HELP!!!!![/code]

@panzerpuppy: This package is not compatible with Puppy 4. Sorry, I don't have the time for upload/download anything or even reply messages at this moment.

@olovram: Make sure that you are using Xorg (not Xvesa), to install the GLX extension launch petget and install xorg_OPENGL(Puppy3 with opensource drivers) or install the proprietary nVidia driver to use nvidia's GLX. (Puppy3 with nVidia's gpu)

@tombh: I've compiled Compiz Fusion in Puppy 4 and I get the same error message. Puppy 4 don't have the full Xorg server, seems that we need to recompile Xorg with the GLX extension and make a rematered ISO with it.

But I used to had compiz fusion woring in my wNop:S

tombh · #95 Post by **tombh** » Thu 03 Jul 2008, 17:42

I got a backtrace on the seg fault

0xb7f2a3e1 in XGetXCBConnection () from /usr/X11R7/lib/libX11-xcb.so.1

Reading on the compiz forums there are a number of problems reported with compiling because most distros don't have xcb support as default. But seeing as you must have had the xcb headers to even compile in the first place then I guess this isn't the same problem.

But perhaps your seg fault is for a different reason, besides I tried to run the compiz package from Puppy 3, so it's hardly surprising that I get a seg fault. I'm starting to collect the dependencies myself, I'm doing alright so far but not sure where to get a certain GL/gl.h, I see that GL/glx.h and GL/glu.h are a part of the glu1-mesa-devs but GL/gl.h doesn't seem to come with them.

Well I've finally got compiz running in Puppy 4. All that was required was to recompile libX11 with the configure flag "--with-xcb", I've supplied a pet of the updated library.

libX11-1.1.4-i486.pet

Unfortunately Emerald is now seg faulting, the backtrace there is,

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb785c451 in g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0

Emerald just provides the window decoration, so you can't click to drag, minimize or close.

But the main thing is that compiz is alive and kicking

So you can follow all wow's instructions and use all wow's packages in Puppy 4 just as you would in Puppy 3 except you'll need to install this updated library afterwards.

Let me know how it goes.

wow · #97 Post by **wow** » Sat 05 Jul 2008, 00:50

Great news. I was going to recompile compiz without XCB the last week but I didn't have time to make it.

tombh · #98 Post by **tombh** » Sat 05 Jul 2008, 16:14

Edited my last post to say that the library should be installed after wow's packages because they will overwrite the changes otherwise.

PS I recompiled Emerald and stopped receiving the seg fault, except now it complains about

GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I'm not entirely convinced that it's enopught to stop Emerald and that maybe there's maybe another problem -- more likely that I'm using emerald compiled in Puppy 4 with wow's packages from Puppy 3. I'll push on and try get all of compiz compiled in Puppy 4 then see what happens.

tombh · #99 Post by **tombh** » Mon 07 Jul 2008, 12:17

Updated the previous libX11 pet to install to a more useful place.

wow · #100 Post by **wow** » Mon 07 Jul 2008, 15:14

I've compiled compiz (only compiz-core without XCB support) yesterday in my Puppy-4 and it's working, I haven't compiled emerald so I'm using gtk-window-decorator:
