Compiz Fusion 0.7.7 (git 28 Jul 2008)

[wow]

How and where can I download your puppy 4 with compiz? (as your screenshot)

Maybe in 1 or 2 days, because I compiled everything for "amd64" and might not work for you, so I need to recompile it to "i686" and disable some dependencies to make it less GNOME dependent.

[wow]

This is my Compiz Fusion package for Puppy 4. As you can see I haven't packed all the dependecies, because some files are not too important or can be found in other packages, there's no need to patch libX11+XCB also:

[P] official pet package
[G] it's already installed in my gnome-2.20.3.sfs
ccm optional, for 'ccsm' and 'simple-ccsm'
gwd optional, for 'gtk-window-decorator'
plg used for few plugins
c-m required only for compiz-manager

Troubleshooting

• whiteout(.wh.*) files: This kind of file will give you problems if you're going to use SFS's. Run this command to get rid of them:

Code: Select all

find /initrd/pup_r* -name .wh.* -delete -print

This is for the people that have installed my compiz fusion package for Puppy 4 and have problems with CCSM:
Replace this file(attached bellow) to disable the RGBA patch (for the murrine-rgba engine) from CCSM. Extract Window.py to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ccm/

Screenshots:

• Patched CCSM, murrine-rgba engine and a murrine theme from gnomelook.org
  
  The same CCSM without the rgba patch, murrine-rgba engine and a murrine theme from gnomelook.org

Hi, and thanks Wow for your fast answer.
You answer me: "....Maybe in 1 or 2 days, because I compiled everything for "amd64" and might not work for you, so I need to recompile it to "i686" and disable some dependencies to make it less GNOME dependent."

OK, we are now august 11 and...where to download the puppy 4 with compiz included?
Question: my I use the ati (xorg, free driver) or my I need to install fglrx (propietary-now free) driver?
Always in live mode
Thanks

[magerlab]

i'm trying to setup compiz -fusion but
got the message that composite extension is not present
what does it mean?

[wow]

@jtouso: oops. I meant the CompizFusion.pet for puppy4, Did you want an ISO, isn't it? Probably I'll never make an ISO, 'cause I don't need it. The official puppy.iso is all that I need.

@magerlab: Make sure that your video hardware is compatible and the drivers are already installed, then edit your xorg.conf file as explained in these links:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=32242
http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ATI%20with%20AIGLX
http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Intel%20with%20AiGLX

Or running this command if you have an nVidia gpu:

Code: Select all

nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --allow-glx-with-composite --disable-glx-root-clipping --render-accel --composite --depth=24

[jtouso]

OK
Don´t worry. With the .pet file (with all dependencies) is perfect.
Two questions:
In live mode, using the ati driver (xorg-free) who has 3D acceleration, may I use your "compiz.pet?
or, May I install fglrx dirver to use it?
Thanks

[jtouso]

Wow:
I use Puppy 4 "dingo" in live mode. I use your 3 files:
[fusion-28Jul08pup4-i686.pet] [4.8 MB] 14.2 MB unpacked
[fusion_NLS-28Jul08pup4.pet] [3.9 MB] 12.5 MB unpacked (translations)
[xorg_xorg_full_dri-7.3.pet] [19.4 MB] [P]
I write the orders in xorg.conf (composite enable and XAANoOffscreenPixmaps)...then I ctrl+alt+backspace and xwin.
I try to run compiz typing compiz --replace and ...nothing. The terminal answer was:
compiz (core)-Error:Another window manager is already running on screen: 0
compiz (core) -Fatal:No manegeable screens found on display:0.0

I have and ATI radeon 9550 who has direct-rendering yes (glxinfo) and I use the open-source driver (ati or radeon)
Help me please

[wow]

compiz (core)-Error:Another window manager is already running on screen: 0

You must close/kill that window manager (icewm, JWM, openbox, xfwm, kwin, metacity, etc.) before start Compiz Fusion. Puppy-4 uses JWM by default, try to start X with any other kind of software. Examples:
xwin rxvt
xwin lxpanel (if you have installed lxpanel)
xwin fbpanel
etc.

wow:
I ask for fglrx (free but not open source ati-AMD driver) in compiled form as pet file and working for Puppy 4 ( I am using xfce puppy NOP 4). May you help?
After this, I will try your 3 files because it is impossible with the ati-opensource free drivers.
Or wait until new version Wnop or Tigerpup
Thanks

[jtouso]

Wow:
Veo en el foro hispano que escribes en castellano (yo soy de Barcelona).
Te cuento.
Tengo la Puppy NOP 4 con escritorio xfce, bonita y rapida.
Quiero ponerle compiz como habeis hecho tu y Thomb o en Tigerpup pero no puedo.
Mi grafica es una Ati 9550 que en otras distros (PCLinuxOS o DreamLinux o Biglinux) funciona perfecta con el driver libre open-source, que es el ati. No necesita el propietario (ahora liberado por Ati-AMD) fglrx.
No me funciona con el open-source y modificando el xorg.conf segun distintos foros.
Asi que no se que hacer. Tigerpup me va de cine y Wnop tambien (aunque es con version 3 de Puppy y usando el driver propietario "antiguo" fglrx).
¿Me ayudas?
¿He de partir de Puppy dingo 4 "normal" o puedo usar cuanlquier otra Puplet de Puppy 4?
¿Donde encuentro el .pet ya compilado del driver fglrx?
¿Otras ideas?
Gracias

[wow]

@jtouso: ¿una ATI? no soy el indicado para ayudarte, yo uso nVidia. Sin embargo puedes utilizar los drivers existentes para Puppy-3 ya que utiliza la misma versión de kernel (2.6.21.7) me parece que en el hilo de wNOP-2 hay algunos pets. Pero hasta donde sé el driver propietario de ATI no soporta AIGLX, excepto el último driver de ATI. Otras ideas:

- Lee esta guía: Compiz, Puppy 3.01 NOP and an ATI 9000 success story

- Prueba con utilizar los drivers de wNOP, creo que están en /tmp/, e instalarlos manualmente o trata de hacerlo andar con el "cfwizard" de wNOP (está en /usr/sbin/cfwizard)

- Фарватер publicó un pet de ATI (fglrx - 8.493) en el foro de PuppyRus.

- Otros drivers ATI [ATI fglrx 7.11 (8.43.2) video driver for puppy 3] [ATI fglrx 8.40.4 video driver package for Puppy 3.00] [ATI video driver (fglrx) 8.39.4]

- Sigue usando Puppy-3.

- Compra una tarjeta nVidia :p

Suerte.

Say What?

[jtouso]

Wow:
Gracias.
¿Que nVidia tienes? ¿Cual recomiendas?
Intentare a partir de wnop las sugerencias.
