easy Beryl install for Slack 12
Thanks to Dagmar of the DLG (dropline gnome) team. We have some prebuilt packages of Beryl and it's goodies/extras packages.
Simply... Code:
wget http://dagmar.droplinegnome.org/2.18/aquamarine-0.2.1-i686-1dl.tgz Everything should work (given your xorg.conf and video card are up to the task) |
Does these packages have dependancies on the Gnome or Dropline Gnome packages? By this, I mean, is it possible to install them seamlessly in a stock Slackware 12 install?
|
the packages i mentioned to wget are all the dep's you need. beryl will never call on anything else DLG/Gnome related :)

How do i start this in xfce? I added beryl-manager to autostarted apps and nothing comes up after the loading screen for xfce. I CAN however spin the cube with my mousewheel. help plz!

libwnck Package Missing?
Hi,
i download all the packages, and install them. So far, so good. It seems beryl is on the way. When running beryl-manager (from the console) i was getting an error about the library libwnc. I've been reading that some people needed to install it (although it seems is for Gnome) Anyway, I just downloaded and install it from here: prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dropline-gnome/libwnck-2.16.0-i686-1dl.tgz And im not getting that error anymore ... still not seeing the spinning cubes, but on my way. So, just FYI, you may need that libwnck installed too. |
I must have forgot about that one.
wget http://dagmar.droplinegnome.org/2.18...3-i686-1dl.tgz to finish all that off :) |
Hi,
In my case, im getting a lot of dependencies problems. When I start beryl, it complains about the lack of this libraries: libGConf2_4-2.10.1-2mdk.i586.tgz libcroco0.6_3-0.6.0-2mdk.i586.tgz librsvg-2.16.1-i486-1.tgz librsvg-2.16.1-i686-1dl.tgz Ive been able to install those ones, but still asking for more ... So far, I gave up. I think I must have messed up with some previous installation and it is the cause to keep making calls to those libraries ... I wonder if installing GNome will fix all those problems. Im facing a very similar problem when installing VMWare. Anyone knows what are those libraries and why are they being used/called? thanks, Juan |
For those interested I have created a script from this tutorial which will install Beryl on Slackware 12.0 . If you wanna check it out here it is.
KhaoSlacker, thanks to you and the Dropline GNOME team for bringing such an awesome tool to life on such a kickass distro! EDIT: now with the option to remove it using the same script. EDIT: I've got a script for Compiz now too. |
Hi, I've downloaded and installed all those packages on Slack 12, but I have a problem, when I try to run beryl I get this:
Code:
Detected xserver : AIGLX |

I haven't seen people really responding to this (and I've checked back here periodically) so I guess I'll take this.
