Beryl / Compiz no longer work with 100.14.09

gribelu · 06-10-07, 04:28 PM

Used to work with nvidia 100.14.06 and the earlier versions (well.. it crashed often). Now it won't even start

This is the output when i run "beryl"

Code:

beryl: Another window manager is already running on screen: 0
beryl: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

This is the output when i run "compiz --replace"

Code:

/usr/bin/compiz.real: Another window manager is already running on screen: 0
/usr/bin/compiz.real: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
/usr/bin/compiz: 47: metacity: not found

Both leave me with no decorations.. i need to restart kwin to get them back.

The Advanced Beryl Options are these (i did try most variations):

Code:

Rendering Path: Texture From Pixmap
COW: Automatic
Rendering Platform: Force AIGLX
Binding: Automatic
Rendering: Indirect Rendering

I repeat.. it used to work fine with 100.14.06 using the same config.

Code:

/usr/bin/compiz: 47: metacity: not found

This is obviously a problem with your Beryl/Compiz installation, rather than a driver problem.

gribelu · 06-11-07, 06:56 AM

Ok, my bad.. i ran the command wrong.
But how do you explain Beryl? I changed NOTHING except the nvidia driver.. so this isn't an installation problem.
I reverted to 100.14.06 and it worked fine (beryl).. reinstalled .09 and the problem is back.

arokh · 06-11-07, 08:27 AM

Don't see anyone else complaining that the new driver breaks Beryl. Perhaps you should search the Beryl forums/lists (if there are any) for an answer.

Just revert to the old driver in the meantime if that works...

fldc · 06-11-07, 09:12 AM

Beryl is abandoned anyway and is merging with compiz. So, use compiz and maybe compcomm git if you want the beryl plugins.

zerkovic · 06-13-07, 04:24 PM

i might add:

since the new nividia-drivers (100.14.09) i have issues. when logging out or changing kwin <> beryl the whole desktop freezes. a cold start (eek) is the only possibility.

is this a known issue?

are there any solutions?

(i am using advanced options:
rendering path>copie
composite overly window>use COW
rendering plaform>force AIGLX)

[using sidux, with shames beryl repo]
