[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
Martey: Yes, the bug will hit you after you returned to Metacity for a short period. In particular, this happens if Compiz cannot start because of a driver problem, because before you fix it you need Metacity to run instead. But what I said is that if you still suffer from this bug, disable the GConf key once for all, and everything will work. And for users that never had their Compiz crashed or blocked, the problem does not appear. -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
I'd like to be sure we agree on the problem here. If you want to use Compiz, just disable Metacity compositor in GConf (using gconf-editor, under /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager). If you want to use Metacity, just turn off desktop effects, and then set Metacity as a compositor or not using GConf. This bug should just git you when you switch from Compiz to composited Metacity, which only occurs when you're playing with window managers. That's annoying when you're performing tests, but in day-to-day use, it should no be a problem. -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
I am no expert at this, but the problem seems to be quite simple: xrender_unmanage_screen in src/compositor/compositor-xrender.c always calls meta_screen_unset_cm_selection which calls XSetSelectionOwner with None as the owner. It should only do this when giving up the compositor selection manually (ICCCM 2.3.1), but instead also does it when called by meta_screen_free. By setting the selection owner to None, compiz finds that XGetSelectionOwner does not return the window which it set as the owner and aborts. Also, the convention compiz uses (set the selection then check it to verify success) seems to be recommended at the bottom of ICCCM 2.1. -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
Here are my thoughts. Part one, the background reading: It seems to me after a while of digging through the ICCCM that Travis Watkins was incorrect back in December when he said that Metacity was not giving up control of the compositor selection. Section 2.8 of the ICCCM says that anyone who wants a selection can take it. The old owner is told they're losing it, but they don't get a choice in the matter. Obviously it was unhelpful when Metacity crashed at that point, but it no longer does. (Backport to stable is coming soon.) Part two, the experimentation: I have experimented with the return results around the lines which Travis pointed out. Compiz, as you see, does not check the return result of XSetSelectionOwner. I have checked the result, and it is BadRequest. (In case of strange synchronisation oddities, I have performed the same experiment with an XSync on the previous line, with identical results.) BadRequest is a low-level problem in X itself or in Xlib; I don't know what might be going on here but it would appear to be at least as much a Compiz problem as a Metacity problem, since this error should never appear. I have therefore reopened this bug against Compiz. -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Does it work with kwin?

Metacity is not giving up control of the compositor selection. ** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: compiz = metacity -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
This is not, as far as I can see, a Metacity problem. Compiz is failing to start because it sees another compositor is running. I am not closing the metacity bug here because I may be wrong, but I will check when I'm less immediately busy. ** Also affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 178953] Re: compiz doesn't start if metacity compositor is enabled
Compiz code for taking over as composite manager:
XSetSelectionOwner (dpy, cmSnAtom, newCmSnOwner, wmSnTimestamp);
if (XGetSelectionOwner (dpy, cmSnAtom) != newCmSnOwner)
{
compLogMessage (d, core, CompLogLevelError,
Could not acquire compositing manager
selection on screen %d display \%s\,
i, DisplayString (dpy));
continue;
}
It waits for metacity to give up the WM_S0 selection before running this
bit so I'm not sure what exactly is going on but I'm pretty sure it's on
metacity's side.
