emerald not working in SuSE 11.1

English Applications
#1

Hallo All,

I faced a problem with emerald. I succeeded to install compiz. It is
working with the KDE window-decorator. When I try to load emerald as the
window decorator, all window frames are gone. I tried out different
repositories for compiz-fusion like mentioned in some further postings,
but non of them are working probably.

Has somebody an idea what is the problem?

Emerald is not working well under KDE4. Press Alt+F2 and type “emerald
–replace” without quotes.

Ditto, and bump!

freedguy: I tried that. Compiz seems to crash after I try that though.

I have it disabled until some updates come in.

Worked fine in 11.0.

Did you try emerald from the opensuse repositories (thus the packages
from the installation disc) ? Those work for me. The ones in XGL repo do
not work for me neither.

Same problem here, I successfully reinstall compiz, but emerald not. I
don’t have the title screen bar, even the buttons.
I’m using KDE 3.5.10 release 21.11

This 11.1 upgrade killed my weekend.

I was having this problem and tried every fix going, in the end I
followed this fix …and it works for me works!:wink: just use the 1click
install and set the compiz fusion icon to window manager =compiz ,window
decorator to Emerald. Maybe log out might be a good idea.

‘CyberOrg » compiz-fusion’

Hallo bigbossa,
yes, this link is working! Now I have back all emerals settings. But
one question: Nobody nows really, which copiz or emerald repository is
working correctly. X11:XGL? CyberOrg? Suse.org? I am a little bit
confused. For the moment CyberOrg is working, i will work with that.
Thanks again.

Hello,
I believe that this may be due to the “Nomad” patches that were rolled
into the current release. I don’t think Nomad plays nice with Emerald.
