Because I have search google and I have not find anything good about installing Compiz Fusion on Slackware KDE 3.5.7 and I have made this tutorial ...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Step 1 :
First of all we want to download all resources in the easy way , in this case we will install
Slapt-Get and
gslapt ..
They can be found at
http://software.jaos.org/#slapt-get ..
We download the packages for our slackware version (12 in this tutorial) and we install them ..
Start Slapt-Get with
gslapt command or going to
K -> System -> Gslapt Package Manager
After we start it we go to
EDIT -> Preferences we go to
Sources tab and we remove all existing sources , after we removed then we add one of the following repository :
Code:
http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slackware/addon/slacky/slackware-12.0/
http://slacky.uglyplace.org/repository/slackware-12.0/
http://filer-1.filearena.net/pub/slackware/addon/slacky/slackware-12.0/
Put all or find anothers !
after this it will ask us to update repositoryes , click
Yes and wait ..
( You can search google and compile yourself with Mesa the packages and obtain better quality, unfortunately Slacky.eu didn't do this ...)
Our Slapt-get is configured to my favorite repository and we can start working ...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Step 2 :
We write in the Search box
Compiz and we install from that list this things :
- ccsm
- Compiz
- compiz-bcop
- compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
- compiz-fusion-plugins-main
- compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported
- compizconfig-python
- compizconfig-backend-kconfig
- emerald
- emerald-themes
- libcompizconfig
At some packages you will get errors like :
Quote:
compiz: Depends: qt >= 3.3.8-i486-5_slack12.0
compizconfig-backend-kconfig: Depends: qt >= 3.3.8-i486-5_slack12.0
|
Just
Ignore them and press
Ok
When we set all things to install gslapt should look like this :

When looks like this click
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e.../snapshot3.png button to download and install compiz , (you can watch your favorite cartoon in this time) ..
Unfortunately we encounter other problems , see next step to resolve them ... READ THE ENTIRE TUTORIAL TO RESOLVE ALL PROBLEMS !!!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Step 3 :
We need the
libwnck library ! (We write in gslapt search box
libwnck and we install it)
We need the
pygtk module ! ( The same thing)
We need the
sexy-python module ! *Optional but I think usefull*
After we installed this things we can start to do the settings ....
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Step 4 :
To remove the No Composite Extension found ! error we enter in the terminal the following command:
Quote:
|
nvidia-xconfig --composite
|
After we do this we will restart our X server (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace)
Now we will try to start the compiz confgurator ... (Write
ccsm in console)
I think if you did it good you should not encounter errors ....
But I encountered myself this error :
Quote:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 22, in <module>
import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk
|
We need
pygobject and
pycairo , don't worry they can be installed with
gslapt ....
I think now we resolved all errors , but don't close your konsole , might you need it ! ...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Step 5 :
We start ccsm with
ccsm command , if you get any errors post here ...
When started it should look like this :

Now we can setup our plugins .... You can choose the plugins you want to work .. if you don't know the action command from a plugin see the following ss to get info about it or change the action button :

The Super button is the Windows button ...
I think that I sayd enough about this ...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Step 6 :
To start compiz write
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true compiz --replace ccp && emerald & in konsole ...
We can set the emerald skin going to
K -> Settings -> Emerald Theme Manager
We can choose themes , add themes , edit them , choose some animations ...
