[opensuse] Removing compiz
Ive upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2 and all of a sudden I have compiz installed automagically? I did play with it way back and had beryl installed on 10.1, maybe it saw the files and did the "upgrade" for me, who knows. How do I remove it!? Removing compiz and xgl just leaves me with a very slow X/KDE and using the gnome-xgl-setting tool does nothing.

I did a fresh install of 10.2 and it did install compiz, but it doesn't try to run it for me at all. I also use kde and it doesn't interfere at all. Perhaps you have something in a stored session? Regardless, can't it just be removed by uninstalling the rpm? -- Andy Harrison -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Removing the rpms makes it go away, but Im left with a really really slow X, can see the Panel Menu redraw, obviously something is still pulling on X or KDE.

Very strange. As for speed, it runs flawlessly on my laptop (at least until I start hitting too much swap). I did have to make sure I set kde to "Start with an empty session." If I try to make beryl start automatically (either by session or by ~/.kde/Autostart), it doesn't behave well at all. It ranges from simple problems like most of my System Tray icons failing to come up or instead they might appear but are not being swallowed by the tray, to more severe problems like the entire panel coming up half drawn. For now until I feel like investigating further, I've just stuck a beryl-manager icon on my desktop and I just kick it off manually and everything works fine. -- Andy Harrison -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ye, thats how I had beryl setup aswell, icon on desktop. But now Beryl is gone and compiz installed - prob just have to bite the bullet and start backing up this weekend for clean install.

if you are going to do a clean install anyways, you might as well put
compiz back in, and just set the decorators after startup... so you
can use the window decorators you want. I think there is probably
some x config that is giving you the headache.
