Developers,

There looks like there is a small problem with the rpms in both the X11:/Compiz/openSUSE_Factory/ and X11:/XGL/openSUSE_Factory/ repositories. I have removed completely and reinstalled completely from each repository and get the same failure from each set of rpms (I suspect they are the exact same, but I didn't check) The error is:

03:20 arete~> compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'core' has ABI version '30080902', expected ABI version '20080828'.

Because X11:Compiz and X11:XGL are two different repositories and contain different compiz packages. Like drinks, never mix repositories ;)

Cheers

Sounds good, I never liked the bloody Mary mixed with rum and coke. J, which repository should I pull from? I have tried pulling from one, then the other but I am still stuck? 11.1B5 has X11:/Compiz/openSUSE_Factory/ enabled by default, but I get the error when I have pulled exclusively from that repo too. I'll go triple check again, but IIRC pulling from that repo doesn't work. Is that the wrong place entirely? -- David C.

Use the packages that come with 11.1 B5, they are same as the ones in X11:Compiz.

J, Started with a clean slate and used the one-click to install: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Compiz/openSUSE_Factory/compi... Compiz started and configures fine and has great performance: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/ But crashes every time ksnapshot is closed (quit) or every time the screensaver starts. When it crashes, the desktop goes black, but some of compiz continues to run. Let me explain: When the screen goes black, you might see a little white square or two where a piece of a window used to be, but everything else is black. Input is dead. (you can't alt+F2 kwin --replace & in the blind and fix it) The second time it happened, on a whim, I ctrl+alt+left-mouse'd the desktop and low-and-behold, the cube was still active, with the cube caps in perfect color, but I was looking at a 4-sided cube with all the sides black as night. Very strange, because the deformation had been set and functioning as a cylinder. (see screenshot above) Cube performance was just fine on rotation, etc.. ctrl+alt+backspace (twice) and I was back at the login. KDE4 started just fine and then I started compiz again and -- the cylinder deformation was back to normal. Then I took the screenshot above and again on exiting ksnapshot, whamo back-n-black again. Let me know if you want additional tests. Also, I'm not posting to compiz or bugging it, so this is the only feedback you'll get. (PS -- I don't guess there is any way to just show the desktop folder on desktop 1 is there?) I guess that's just another reason to nuke the desktop folder. -- David C.

David,

I already put in a report for this bug. It seems to be something with the NOMAD patch as the compiz rpm's in XGL do _NOT_ have the same behavior (I didn't actually pull down the sourec for the 2 and check the spec's to see what is built against the 2, but my guess is that NOMAD patch is Compiz and non NOMAD in XGL is the only difference.

You'll probably get a crash with closing krdc also.

Ben

Thank you Ben, I was going to be robbing time from peter to pay paul to get time to do the bug report and follow up on this issue. I will, later today, try pulling the XGL version and try it again. I didn't have any luck last time, but I might not have uninstalled everything from the standard install before testing the XGL packages -- I think I did, but I don't recall. If you will send me you bug link, I'll add my comments there, or you can feel free to cut and paste from my post if you think it adds anything. Thanks again! -- David C.

Also, you got to see this, I caught a screenshot of the crash:

Yes, I saw you update it.. Thanks for that. Yah, I hope the fix the issues with compiz and the nomad patch. It may actually be KDE, but how KDE interacts with compiz w/ the nomad patch.. Either way, I hope it's fixed ASAP (hopefully prior to RC2). I'm all for trying nomad, and have a blog written about it, just waiting to push the button until it's more stable.
