Re: [opensuse] KDE update on sunday
On Wednesday 29 November 2006 17:44, you said: So, you are using Xgl...
Couldn't open log file '/var/log/Xgl.1.log' for writing: Permission denied
But it can't find the gtk window decorator needed to draw the window borders. Is package 'compiz' installed?
Could not find 'gtk-window-decorator' executable.
Only gnome and KDE are set up to work properly with Xgl so that explains why they don't work but other WMs do. Can you login if you revert back to Xorg (set DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER="Xorg" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and rerun SuSEconfig)? If compiz is missing, install it and see if Xgl works then. But basically 3d desktops are a can of worms and you should start by expecting problems :).

Yes, compiz is installed. And it was working fine prior to this update. Is the missing program really in compiz? Specifically which package?

Of course. But I would like to solve them as well.

gnome-window-decorator has always been a requirement if you wanted to have window decorations in compiz (and it is a bit difficult to use without them) You are using a cvs version of compiz, built by someone in the community, I have no idea whom. This person uses the build service to build the rpms, but that hardly means they are official builds If you want a stable environment you really shouldn't update as much. Especially not to CVS versions Having said all this, the latest version of compiz-quinncvs has gnome-window-decorator -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This machine I am updating is sort of a play thing. I do not rely on it working at all times. I mainly use it to track the builds. Frequency of updates is not really the whole issue. I could update once a year. If I just happened to get a bad build that time, I am just as screwed as if I updated all along and hit that bad build. Builds do not by their nature come with a quality rating. I am not complaining about anything. I am happy with the build service! But when something goes wrong, I do try to sort it out.
Having said all this, the latest version of compiz-quinncvs has gnome-window-decorator
I wonder why smart is not selecting to update this. It is in my list of things to update. Something to check this evening.

This I have installed. and gnome-window-decorator is available. But in the log posted earlier in this thread I see that the startup is complaining that gtk-window-decorator is not found. I wonder what gtk-window-decorator is... -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
