[opensuse] Stupid Compiz questions
Hello SuSE people, Running 10.3 64 bit with KDE. I installed compiz-fusion. I find it locks up some applications and some other things don't work so I want to turn it off until I have more time to play with it. It starts automatically at boot up. Stupid question #1. How do I turn it off ?? SQ # 2. How do you close an app without going up to the menu bar "File" and then choosing quit from the drop down list? SQ # 3. How do you minimize an app? or resize the window? There's more but I just want to turn it off for now.

If you enabled Xgl: gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl (as root) If you installed compiz-manager: touch $HOME/.config/compiz/disable-compiz (as user) More here: http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Fusion Cheers -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for replying Nope, no xgl. I have an nvidia card with the latest driver so I went to the SUSE nvidia site and followed the instructions there. Didn't know if compiz-manager was installed but I tried your command anyway. No good. So I installed compiz-manager (again?) (the original install was the "one click" thing) and tried the command again. Nope, no luck. Hate to do it but looks like uninstalling compiz is the way out. Then hope that SAX gets my video card config right. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you use kde try, alt+f2 kwin --replace It's my lifesaver. vista must have copied it from compiz. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanx Lynn, That did it. Course I had to restart X. All is well until I start to play with that again. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The instructions on that page tell you that compiz-manager is for XGL only (see Configuration). Have you tried compiz --replace ccp & as the page suggests for NVidia? -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I can tell you that for some reason "compiz --replace ccp &" does not work on my system and causes it to lock. Apparently, fusion-icon uses: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering --no-libgl-fallback on my system. fusion-icon is the only thing that has ever been able to start compiz on my system. I am still working on this, but no answers as of yet. Also, the only way compiz will start on my system is to rename the link /usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1 to something else so the system can not find it. I move it to /usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1.sav Then compiz starts beautifully. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Hmmm...didn't see that. Already uninstalled it though.

Yep, but that didn't work. But all is well as kwin --replace did it for me as primm suggested. Thanks for helping. appreciated. Bob S. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Open a terminal, login as root and type the following: gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl (remember: as root user!), then logoff and logon again, or if you prefer to, restart your computer.
SQ # 2. How do you close an app without going up to the menu bar "File" and then choosing quit from the drop down list?
SQ # 3. How do you minimize an app? or resize the window?
It seems that you lost the windows decorations after installing compiz; if so, they should be restored after compiz being uninstalled and you will be able to perform these tasks easily again.
