[Bug 386836] New: simple-ccsm does not report failure
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=386836 Summary: simple-ccsm does not report failure Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jmatejek@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- When trying to turn on desktop effects in Beta2, i start simple compiz config settings manager and click "enable desktop effects" checkbox. To my surprise, nothing happens, only metacity is restarted. But the checkbox stays on and nothing, apart from the apparent lack of effects, hints at any failure. running simple-ccsm from console reveals the true problem: matejcik@linux:~> simple-ccsm which: no kwin in (/home/matejcik/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin) which: no fusion-icon in (/home/matejcik/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin) Checking for Xgl: not present. Blacklisted PCIID '8086:2a02' found aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity for some reason, my graphics card (intel gm965) seems to be blacklisted (even though it worked just fine in Beta1), and simple-ccsm doesn't even bother to tell me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Regarding the blacklist, they are the list of cards that are known to have problems, compiz might work but activate at your own risk. To run compiz anyway: echo "export SKIP_CHECKS=yes" >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

We wouldn't want a popup windows for all debug messages though.
But we sure don't want simple-ccsm to pretend that everything is okay when in fact it is not. Note that when i check "enable effects", the checkbox stays on and configuration is enabled - which makes no sense if compiz failed to run. That's the bug i'm talking about. thanks for the SKIP_CHECKS hint, though :e) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It now checks if everything is ok, and if not, asks the user whether it should be enabled anyway or just keep it disabled. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
