Is fusion-icon.trace you have to install? I get command not found when I try to run it and and locate, which, and whatis doesn't find anything.
I was exporting the path to the /us/lib dir for PYTHON are. I was reading that other distro were having the same issue.
By the way, I tried the 1-Click on the Community Page but it keeps saying that I need to have python 2.6 greater and I have 2.6.0.2 so that was a wash as well.
Chuck, I can't answer all your questions, but I can give you my brute-force approach to getting compiz to work (I use this for kde35, somebody else will have to comment if it differs for kde4): First, make sure you graphics driver is installed and working properly, see the Pre-installation notes at: http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Fusion Then confirm you have everything setup by reading http://en.opensuse.org/ATI # for ATI http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA # for Nvidia Second remove compiz completely: sudo rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep compiz) $(rpm -qa | grep ccsm) fusion-icon xwinwrap intltool xgl Third -- my approach (I've had mixed resultes with 1-click so I just do a semi-manual package selection): Make sure you have the X11:/XGL repository added to your system and *disable* the X11:/Compiz repository if you have that installed (I've had nothing but trouble there). Example, for 11.0 you would add: zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_11.0/ xgl Then in Yast -> Software Management choose "Filter", "Repositories", "xgl" and select the following packages: compiz-0.7.8-9.1 compizconfig-settings-manager-0.7.8-2.4 compiz-emerald-0.7.8-2.4 **compiz-emerald-themes-0.6.0-16.1 compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.7.8-4.2 compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.7.8-3.3 compiz-kde-0.7.8-9.1 fusion-icon-0.0.1_080201-3.1 intltool-0.40.3-7.1 libcompizconfig-0.7.8-3.4 python-compizconfig-0.7.8-2.4 xgl-git_071026-79.3 **Note, for some reason compiz-emerald-themes is *not* included in the repository. If you want emerald themes, then you need to install it from the install DVD or the suse-oss repository. Log out and log back in and try starting compiz with Fusion-icon (Usually in the menu under System -> More. If compiz starts fine, your done. If not, then right-click the fusion-icon in the tray and make sure compiz is selected as the window manager, if not, then select it and see if it works. It if still won't work, then select kwin as your window manager and then go wipe out the old compiz configuration files. Just delete ~/.config/compiz and log out and log back in and try starting compiz again. If your still stuck, go back to step 2 above and wipe out your compiz install completely and try the 1-click at: http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Fusion Then rework the troubleshooting steps above. If you still stuck, then it is time to post back to the list and we will go further. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
