compiz + emerald on Slack 14.1 64 bit No decorations.

camorri · 09-13-2014, 04:21 PM

I have been fighting this since 13.37 on every Slack 64 bit system.

Compiz + emerald work flawlessly on a Slack 14.1 32 bit system, but not on 64 bit system, no decorations on the 64 bit system.

I have the same packages installed, in the order specified in sbo on both 32 bit and 64 bit systems. Everything is on the same hardware, I have the 32 bit system on hda1 and 64 bit system on sdb1.

Emerald is running, I have given it a sigusr1 signal, ( reload the config ) and still no decorations.

The output looks like this:

Quote:

Reloading...

(emerald:11369): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
ps aux | grep emerald
cliff 11369 0.0 0.9 226244 28492 pts/0 S 16:56 0:00 emerald --replace
cliff 11580 0.0 0.0 5084 1048 pts/0 S+ 17:01 0:00 grep emerald

I get the 'G_IS_OBJECT' failed message. I searched for the error without and useable results. I have no idea how this might be fixed.

Video hardware:

Quote:

/sbin/lspci | grep VGA
00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)

I have tried different video blobs over time. The current driver from Nvidia is

Code:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.108.run

. I have no other video issues.

I have tried the KDE window decorator and the GTK window decorator. Both fail to show decorations, I can verify they were running.

Is there anyone that has decorations working on a slack 64 bit 14.1 system?

I have the fusion-icon installed and running. If I start compiz, it will start, and compiz works as expected. For some reason, after starting compiz with 'emerald --replace' in the window decorations command line, emerald will not be running. I can start it from a command prompt, but no decorations appear.

Any thoughts on how this might be fixed?

If so, how did you get it working?

You probably did, but I have to ask. Did you enable "window decorations" in CCSM?

Yes, Window decorations is enabled in CCSM. I wish the fix was that easy.

tano70,

I tried your script. It gives me the same results as using the fusion-icon to start compiz and emerald. All compiz functions I have enabled in CSSM work, except window decorations. Emarld loads, but no decorations appear.

Daedra · 09-14-2014, 12:58 AM

hmmm that is strange, can you post your xorg.conf file?

download this configuration for ccsm:

and follow the instructions of this link:
http://alexiobash.com/installare-com...rchlinux-xfce/
it is for archlinux, The process works in the same way also on slackware!!
