Compiz Fusion in 11.1

[euklidis]

As far as i can tell KDE4.1 is not fully functional, so i decided to use 3.5 in opensuse 11.1. i am trying to install everything fails. i tried via one click. it fails to install compiz bucompizconfig-settings-manager but it tells me that it needs python >2.6, in the repos of opensuse there is only 2.6 That means that i cannot use fusion fully fanctioning. The Fusion-icon is installed but when i try to run it... it does nothing

euklidis@euklidis-desktop:~> fusion-icon
* Error: the "FusionIcon" module is missing. If you did not install fusion-icon to /usr, you may need to add the appropriate site-packages directory to your PYTHONPATH


So what do i have to do?

I had problems with compiz (too buggy) and found the solution in another post where an url was given: openSUSE 11.1 Compiz & NOMAD (xrdp) | Ben Kevan's Blog

So I clicked compiz-fusion-gnome.ymp from here Index of /repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_Factory and this includes compiz-icon. If you use kde there are compiz-fusion-kde.ymp's available as well.

Compiz now works much better, but emerald now doesn't work anymore

susekiwet,

I had the same problem, and I fixed it by using the 1-click install for kde 4.1.

They now have three 1-click-installs: one for kde 4, kde 3 and gnome.

In that version, emerald worked perfectly. Try uninstalling compiz fusion, and reinstalling from that repo, and see what happens.

I had I similar problem with Compiz, I have a Intel graphic card and this is how a solved. Go to the one click install for Compiz, select not to install the packages that have the conflict/error with Python , continue with the installation.
After is the install is done follow the link and perform all the steps.
