Hi
I just set up a fresh frugal install of Lupu-520,
then did the following:
Using the Quickpet installer, i installed my graphics card driver:
ATI_fglrx-10.10-Lucid.pet
I believe this is the most important step as Compiz requires acceleration.
After installing that i did as indicated and rebooted.
Next (via the PPM), i installed:
xfce4-4.6.2-519-beta-Lucid.pet
after which i cheated a little and simply used: Menu > Desktop > Desktop Settings > WM Switcher Switch between windowmanagers
to switch to
Xfce4
Next i installed this:
Compiz-0.8.4-Lucid.pet
which complained about a missing file:
Code: Select all
File /usr/bin/wnckprop has these missing library files:
libxcb-xlib.so.0
For now i just ignored that and re-ran the WM Switcher again,
which is now found here: Menu > Applications > Settings > WM Switcher Switch between windowmanagers
OK so i now see the Compiz Logo whilst getting back to the desktop,
and as a quick test i open up a Thunar window to see if i can 'wobble' it about.
Well, surprise surprise, it has no decorations (titlebar),
so from past experience i just rebooted to rectify that little problem.
Upon getting back to the desktop i tried to start the CCSM (CompizConfig Settings Manager) via the menu and failed,
so i opened a console and tried that way.
Here is the output:
Code: Select all
# ccsm
bash: /usr/bin/ccsm: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
#
So i installed this:
Python-2.6-Lucid.pet
which also complained about missing files:
Code: Select all
File /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so has these missing library files:
libsqlite3-3.6.12.so.0
File /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so has these missing library files:
libtk8.5.so libtcl8.5.so
File /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_bsddb.so has these missing library files:
libdb-4.4.so
File /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/goocanvasmodule.so has these missing library files:
libgoocanvas.so.3
File /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_mlt.so has these missing library files:
libmlt++.so.3 libmlt.so.3 libpython2.7.so.1.0
It would probably be a good idea to sort out those missing files,
but as i have no intention of keeping this install i didn't bother.
Even so, at least i can now start up the CCSM,
so let's see if i can get a few things happening.
Before doing that though, i changed the keyboard model to:
pc104 Generic 104-key PC
Menu > Applications > Accessories > Mouse/keyboard wizard > Advanced Xorg keyboard cofiguration (click OK) > Keyboard Model
The reason for doing this is because a lot of the default Compiz key bindings inlcude the use of the <Super> key,
which is the lefthand
Windows
key.
You could of course change the key bindings, but it's proably easier to just change the keyboard model.
The screeny shows both the 'Snow' and 'Paint fire on the screen' running.
Hope this helps
