The earlier thread[0] noted that the repository locations have changed to:

Yes, I figured that one out after the first yast -> software management -> update all packages left me with 0.7.6 and 0.7.8 mixed versions installed. I added the compiz repo (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Compiz/) and to insure no version conflicts, I disable the XGL repo. Even with a complete dump of compiz, the right repositories selected and install from 1-click install, compiz fails miserably where 2 hours ago it was running great with version 0.7.6.

Now, with a reinstall of fusion-icon, not even fusion-icon will run and bombs with the following error:

00:26 alchemy~> fusion-icon * Error: the "FusionIcon" module is missing. If you did not install fusion-icon to /usr, you may need to add the appropriate site-packages directory to your PYTHONPATH

Huh? It always worked before...

...

with the latest update. Where was the one-click that you used (if it's on a wiki, we should change it)?

The one-click was:

http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Fusion

I still don't have compiz working. Something is really strange with the 11.0 x86_64 compiz. (I can't compare any i586 machines, they are running 0.7.6 beautifully and in light of this problem, I don't dare touch them...)

Let me know what additional information I can send.

David, I had a similar problem with a YOU update of compiz last week. One minute it was working, then after a kde restart it wasn't. I had to forcibly downgrade it to the previous version to get it back again.

Rodney, How did you downgrade? I have tried removing the X11:/XGL repo and installing only from X11:/Compiz -- no luck. I have tried removing the X11:/Compiz repo and installing only from X11:/XGL repo -- still no luck. In each of the installs, on starting fusion-icon or compiz-manager, the screen will flash like compiz is trying to start, then no-compiz. Killing compiz-manager leaves all windows without any decorations requiring a "kwin --replace &" to restore the kde decor. It's still fubar. I guess I'll try removing both and going back to 0.7.4.

So did you try what the message above suggest?

Also create and log in as new user and run compiz-manager --replace in that session, open a bug report with full output if it does not work even with that user.

J, I'll give it another try when I get back to my laptop at the house. It seems like 0.7.8 was trying to work, but was failing. After doing it a number of times, I can blow-away and re-install compiz in about 4 minutes..... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

How did you downgrade? I have tried removing the X11:/XGL repo and installing only from X11:/Compiz -- no luck. I have tried removing the X11:/Compiz repo and installing only from X11:/XGL repo -- still no luck. [,,,]

I'm running the 32-bit version, not x86-64, but for some reason (and I can't remember exactly what I did) I was able to forcibly "upgrade" from 0.7.8 to 0.7.4 through Yast's package management. I don't think I uninstalled compiz first. Anyway, I see in a later post that you've successfully reverted to 0.7.4 so that is a good thing. Incidentally, I've now installed KDE 4.1.2 on 10.3 (after jumping through a few hoops along the way). Funnily enough, since getting rid of the 3.93svn "KDE4" libraries even 3.5.7 seems to be behaving better and snappier. 4.1.2 also has some compiz-like desktop effects that seem to work pretty well... On my machine though, I still can't run any NVIDIA driver later than 100.14.19 with compiz without the system feeling like the desktop is covered with molasses. I've tried all subsequent versions of the NVIDIA driver and the load average with compiz running goes above 5 and stays there! Between them compiz and X11 just sit their chewing up 100% of CPU time even when nothing else is happening. With 100.14.19 everything is happy and works great (except for compiz 0.7.8 as you also discovered). Anyway, I'm getting dangerously close to hijacking this thread so I'd better quit whilst I'm ahead :-).

I'll just include that 25.1 also killed my compiz also. I tried killing my .config/compiz and rerunning the configuration manager to no avail. However, I do not have fusion icon etc installed ( I sure hope this doesn't become a requirement at a later time). Just thought i'd send this FYI.. had to reinstall 7.4 from oss repo. I may try again later, and kill the compiz configs and emerald configs.. compiz --replace & had no useful output.
