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 As stated before, i used the X:11/Compiz repo: URL: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11%3a/Compiz/openSUSE_11.0/

If it still does not work after an update Did this, the only update was for emerald-themes and making sure all the packages are of matching version, As stated before, they do all match: compiz-0.7.8-2.1libccs: dlopen: /usr/lib64/compizconfig/backends/libkconfig4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory No compiz manager config found! which: no fusion-icon in (/home/ELECTRICHENDRIX/carnold/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin) Checking for Xdmx: not present.

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.

But for now, I will try what You wrote in the last message.

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? Also try the same thing on newly created test user. Ciao -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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.
