Hi yall,
I ve been reading the most threads I could on this days about how to install compiz without luck.
Anyone who installed it successfully can share the steps to follow it.
I have openSuSE 11.0.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
First, are you using Gnome or KDE and which version?
Take Care,
Ian
I am using Gnome 2.28

Ah, Gnome, I’ve used KDE throughout my whole linux experience. Have you tried installing it with the one click installer here?
Also doesn’t Gnome have compiz-fusion installed by default?
Take Care,
Ian
I think it is installed by default. Not sure if that’s the case from the CD.
Maybe all you need is to do this from su terminal:
xgl-switch --enable-xgl
Thanks for your sooner replies.
After installed some packages I found two new options about Compiz.
“CompizConfig” and “Desktop Effects” at Utilities section.
I can set up some options in CommpizConfig but I need to activate it.
For what I read I can activate Compiz using Desktop Effects though when I click over Desktop Effects it doesn’t show up anything.
I am not sure if Desktop Effects is well installed.
Any ideas/comments/suggests will be welcome.
Thanks
I typed and this was what I got.
linux:/home/lunavf/Desktop # xgl-switch --enable-xgl
Warning! MD5DIR is not set: you probably called this script outside SuSEconfig…!

Hi,
Could you please open a terminal and provide the output of:
rpm -qa --last "*compiz*"
Take Care,
Ian

Hi yall,
My Desktop Effects doesn’t work yet.
I tried this
linux:/home/lunavf/Desktop # compiz --replace glib gconf
compiz: Trying '/usr/$LIB/libIndirectGL.so.1'
After a few seconds my display changed. I can do some 3D Cube effects with Ctrl+Alt+Down but thats all.
I ve been playing with CompizConfig Settings Manager and no matter what option I chose it doesnt work.
I believe my Nvidia is working fine … though GXL it doesnt work.
Any ideas/comments/suggestions would be welcome…
Thanks in advance,
Afaik… it is not so hard to do it… just install all compiz packages and also install simple-ccsm and use it…
