[Bug 73544] Re: enabled desktop effects window decoration
I can confirm this bug still exists in Jaunty. I'm curious as to why Travis Watkins kept marking this bug as invalid. On a fresh Jaunty install, after being prompted to install the restricted nVidia driver, when I enabled desktop effects and rebooted, my window decorations were gone. I did everything the automatic way, and I still experienced this bug. That would tell me it is perfectly valid. This bug really shouldn't be marked as invalid until it's fixed. -- enabled desktop effects window decoration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 73544] Re: enabled desktop effects window decoration
I still have the problem (no window decorations) on my updated gutsy x86_64, with NVIDIA GTX 8800 card -- 3d acceleration is working and i can even run some of the cedega games. Among other things, I tried the following describe on other pages in the internet: - purging and reinstalling compiz emeral packages - using only compiz or emerald - running gtk-window-decorator --replace manually: it doesn't crash, but it doesn't do anything either - removing the NVIDIA driver and reinstalling it from the System/Administration/Restricted Driver Manager - Checking for the AddARGBVisuals AddARGBGLXVisuals options, both set to true - No strange errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log - Removing most of the plugins, leaving just the basic window decoration ones - Running sudo nvidia-xconfig --allow-glx-with-composite --add-argb-glx-visuals --disable-glx-root-clipping and restarting xwindows - Running manually compiz --replace dbus csm worked once, but as soon as i entered configuration it failed, that is, the window decorations were gone. And after that it stopped working at all, and i can't make it work again, even after logout or reboot I downloaded the source for compiz-0.52.0 and added a few printf's on gtk-window-manager, and it seems to be running fine, it goes to sleep inside the gtk_main() function, it just doesn't paint the window decorations ... :( So i can confirm this is a bug with Gutsy+NVIDIA(my particular board maybe)+Compiz. -- enabled desktop effects window decoration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had my window decoration active until found something about active plugins If I activate Normal Effects I get no active plugins $ gconftool --get /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins [] I then activate Extra effects $ gconftool --get /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins [ring,blur,wobbly] I manually activate some modules.. gconftool --set /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins -t string [ccp,gconf,svg,png,decoration,crashhandler,annotate,screenshot,clone,showdesktop,move,place,resize,switcher,minimize,scale] And I get my window decoration, moveable window...

[Bug 73544] Re: enabled desktop effects window decoration
Hi, I am going to confirm all of the above. I have a 7300GS Nvidia card. I previously was running edgy, with easyubuntu installed nvidia drivers. After upgrading to Feisty, I had the troubles described here, title bar, and resize bars were greyed out. In classic Windoze fashion, I disabled the driver (in the restricted drivers panel), restarted, re-enabled the driver, restarted, and now everything works! So, I suspect this can be considered a problem with upgrading from edgy to feisty, for everyone who used programs like EasyUbuntu or Automatix. -- enabled desktop effects window decoration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just why is that not a bug? Just installed feisty beta, turned on destop 3D effects, and got the borderless windows. I have not yet tried manually adding the AddARGBGLXVisuals options, so I don't know whether it will work, but even if it does, it is a bug that it is not automatically added.

this is what nvidia says regarding this option Option AddARGBGLXVisuals boolean Adds a 32-bit ARGB visual for each supported OpenGL configuration. This allows applications to use OpenGL to render with alpha transparency into 32-bit windows and pixmaps. This option requires the Composite extension. ENABLE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Some OpenGL applications may display incorrectly when this setting is enabled.

[Bug 73544] Re: enabled desktop effects window decoration
I can confirm this problem, I also have an Nvidia (5700 GO) and when enabling the effects the window manager does not work. Compiz however works fine (the switcher and cube do work). When I try manually to run 'compiz --replace' and 'gtk-window-decorator --replace', compiz also works but gtk-window-decorator just does nothing. When try to run it through gdb (file gtk-window-decorator, start --replace) I don't get any useful output either.
