Compiz-Fusion Standalone on #!

gurtid · 2011-10-11 22:12:00

thanks for your reply.

well i guess i've played with most of them then. I think for the time being i'm going to settle with Xfce4 panel. I'm surprised how light it is . . .

gurtid · 2011-10-12 22:17:28

PS: To shutdown / reboot, I use a modified oblogout script. If there's any interest I will post it here as well.

Yes, please post this!!! Have been trying to add session management to get my xfce panel shutdown/logout buttons to work but failing miserably.

CFS-Logout (I save it in ~/bin):

#!/usr/bin/env python2

    def __init__(self):

def main():
    gtk.main()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    gogogo = DoTheLogOut()
    main()

It requires pm-utils for suspending etc. The rest should work AFAIK. Lemme know if you need help

gurtid · 2011-10-13 10:20:28

interestingly i can't get your script to run.

/usr/bin/env: python2: No such file or directory

I can get darthwound's to run tho' - script is almost identical. It creates a window with selection buttons so i guess i should persevere with his script . . . ?

The nuts and bolts behind these 2 scripts are the same tho' using dbus/consolekit to perform the actions but only the logout button does anything - it kills compiz leaving me logged in without decorations. the shutdown and reboot buttons do nothing.

Oh! - I should add i am using a wheezy base netinstall with your compiz standalone loaded on top ( via a modified omns build script) and slim login manager.

I guess i need to do some homework on slim, dbus and consolekit.

gurtid · 2011-10-13 12:57:45

all right - i believe i am now starting my compiz session 'correctly' via consolekit rather than my horrible hack big_smile .

the buttons still don't work sad

the stop command in the script is something like this:

dbus-send --system --print-reply  --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager  org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop

if i run the above as sudo in terminal the system shuts down.
if as normal user, i get following error when run from terminal

Error org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.NotPrivileged: Not Authorized

Any ideas on a solution to this? - i am a member of power, powerdev.

Have spent some time searching for an answer - thought the issue was incorrectly implemented consolekit on startup

Run this to correct the python error

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python2

Awebb · 2011-10-13 14:47:44

You are aware of the fact, that /usr/bin/env python2 looks up a certain environment variable? Set the correct variable and the script will run.

Unia · 2011-10-13 15:59:26

How do you start your session Gurtid? Using SLiM + .xinitrc? If so, use this line in .xinitrc to launch Compiz with the correct permissions to use shutdown/reboot:

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch compiz ccp

gurtid · 2011-10-14 03:09:30

@vastone and Awebb. Thank you - that's solved that issue.

@Unia. Yes - essentially that's wot i'm doing. Do you use this method?

I think part of my problem is that ck doesn't register an active session . . . ?

gurtid@deb64compiz:~$ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
    unix-user = '1000'
    realname = 'gurtid'
    seat = 'Seat2'
    session-type = ''
    active = FALSE
    x11-display = ':0.0'
    x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
    display-device = ''
    remote-host-name = ''
    is-local = FALSE
    on-since = '2011-10-14T00:33:51.761454Z'
    login-session-id = '4294967295'

gurtid · 2011-10-14 12:54:36

ok . . . so the 'fix' is to dump SLiM and install LightDM.

Now able to shutdown/reboot via Unias script smile

edit: it's a known bug affecting SLiM and XDM.

omns' account seems to have been suspended. Is there any other way of getting the compiz-alone and menu debs?

I still got em as well, albeit on my external harddisk. Once I got some time, I'll put em up on dropbox and edit my first post

I found compizboxmenu in this repo here...
##NoteSalexp##

And heres the key....
wget -O - http://notesalexp.net/debian/alexp_key.asc | apt-key add -

Hope this may help someone it did me, have a great #!'ers and debian junkies!

masmarius · 2012-05-31 01:24:52

Hey Unia, great post!
Im looking forward for the 2 missing debs too...

Thx everyone in advance, im sure someone in this great community will post the files soon.

Oops, forgot about that big_smile
I'll upload them today after my last exam, whoohooooo. If I forget, drop me an email this time! I won't have any excuses not to upload them

Unia · 2012-06-01 11:43:07

Oke... first off all I gotta admit that I lost the .deb files. I don't know what happened - perhaps they got swept away in a massive HDD clean attempt of mine.

I do have to original tar.gz file that I used to create the .debs so that should work too. Just unpack it and place the scripts in the desired location and give them the proper rights and make them executable. I hosted that file here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43004081/compiz … 1.0.tar.gz

The locations:

compiz-alone.desktop -> /etc/X11/sessions/compiz-alone.desktop
autostart.sh -> /etc/xdg/compiz/autostart.sh (and of course in ~/.config/compiz/autostart.sh)
xdg-autostart -> /usr/bin/xdg-autostart
compiz-alone-session -> /usr/bin/compiz-alone-session
compiz-alone.desktop -> /usr/share/xsessions/compiz-alone.desktop (yes, again)

That's it for the session files. I lost all the files for the root menu, but in time I have come around to like another project that's essentially the same: mygtkmenu. It's a well known project (more well known than compiz-boxmenu) and you can find info on Google about this, but I will try to compile a short guide on it as well.

Should I update the first post with this information?

So I've been playing around with getting compiz standalone with boxmenu going for a bit. followed the guide as best I could and the follow up suggestions.

got it so I almost everything loaded like in openbox (tint2, conky, nitrogen, etc.) but when I load I don't have a mouse (touchpad) and no keyboard inputs do anything. can't get boxmenu to come up.

Unia · 2013-01-29 10:49:03

Can I see your autostart.sh? I'm thinking you might have forgotten a & somewhere.

ManofJELLO · 2013-01-29 15:24:17

thank you for the reply. I'll post when I get back from work and check for a missing &. it is possible as I was changing it around to get everything started up.

ManofJELLO · 2013-01-30 04:21:00

so I added back in a missing &

now I get a mouse, a tint2 bar, and conky. unfortunately I get a black background next to them. can't get any compiz functions running.

here is my autostart file:

# This shell script is run before Compiz launches.
# Environment variables set here are passed to the Compiz session.

# Set a background color
#BG=""
#if which hsetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
#    BG=hsetroot
#else
#    if which esetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
#	BG=esetroot
#    else
#	if which xsetroot >/dev/null 2>&1; then
#	    BG=xsetroot
#	fi
#    fi
#fi
#test -z $BG || $BG -solid "#202020"

# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null 2>&1 && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
    eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi

# Run XDG autostart things.  By default don't run anything desktop-specific
# See xdg-autostart --help more info
DESKTOP_ENV="COMPIZ"
if which /usr/bin/xdg-autostart >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  /usr/bin/xdg-autostart $DESKTOP_ENV
