Opensuse 11 x86 64 kde 4.1.1 and i updated to the latest compiz lastnight using yast->update all newer packages. Now, there is no windows decorations and Configure Desktop -> Advanced -> Session Manager -> Window Manager -> Compiz does not exist. Not able to run simple-ccsm as the keyboard does not work in terminal. There has to be a simpler way for compiz to update. Everytime i update, compiz breaks! Anyone know how to get compiz working again?

What do you all say about there not being a "window manager" option in Configure Desktop -> Advanced -> Session Manager -> Window Manager -> Compiz See attachment for screenshot.

Please use X11:Compiz repo If it still does not work after an update and making sure all the packages are of matching version, disable compiz (ps ax | grep compiz to confirm that compiz is dead), as user, rm -rf ~/.config/compiz* to reset all settings.

I downgraded to 0.7.4 from oss repo and all is working. So i do believe something is seriously wrong with the 0.7.8 version of compiz, at least on my x86 64 11 install. Oh and if the Enable/Disable section of http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_fusion is not applicable to kde4 users, please update that link to refelect it so. The reason i say that, is b/c there is no window manager in there any longer so it should not be on the page.

J, I'll jump in here as well. I have done everything you said, and I have 0.7.8 running, however, I can confirm there is no way to make the emerald themes work.

From the log you sent:

"/usr/bin/compiz (core) - Error: dlsym: /usr/lib64/libdmx.so: undefined symbol: getCompPluginInfo20070830" Could you try compiz-manager --replace after disabling "dmx" plugin from ccsm?

It's weird, There's nothing pointing to "dmx" in ccsm. Any other hint? On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 12:03 PM, CyberOrg wrote:
