** Description changed: Binary package hint: compiz In the current version of compiz in Natty (beta 1), the dbus-plugin doesn't work. If inspected with d-feet, the org.freedesktop.compiz entry exists, but contains no methods and attributes. Compiz itself is working fine. I'm using a new sandy bridge chipset with onboard intel graphics. --- Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz DRM.card0.DP.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.DP.2: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.HDMI.A.1: status: connected enabled: enabled dpms: On modes: 1680x1050 1280x1024 1280x1024 1440x900 1280x960 1152x864 1024x768 1024x768 1024x768 832x624 800x600 800x600 800x600 800x600 640x480 640x480 640x480 640x480 720x400 edid-base64: AP///////wAmzQlWAQEBATIUAQOBMB54Knj1plVImyYSUFS/74CBgHFPgUCzAJUAAQEBAQEBITmQMGIaJ0BosDYA2igRAAAcAAAA/wAxMTA0MDA1MDAxMzk2AAAA/QA3TB1RDwAKICAgICAgAAAA/ABQTEUyMjA3V1MKICAgAEY= DRM.card0.HDMI.A.2: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.VGA.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: natty DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0102] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:2002] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta amd64 (20110330) InstallationMedia_: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta amd64 (20110330) Package: compiz 1:0.9.4+bzr20110407-0ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=de_AT:en PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=19e7faaa-39f1-4991-8eaa-e45e12b9c72f ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.41-generic 2.6.38.2 ProcVersionSignature_: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.41-generic 2.6.38.2 Renderer: Unknown Tags: natty natty ubuntu compiz-0.9 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: dmi.bios.date: 03/01/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: Intel Corp. dmi.bios.version: BLH6710H.86A.0105.2011.0301.1654 dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.board.name: DH67BL dmi.board.vendor: Intel Corporation dmi.board.version: AAG10189-204 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnIntelCorp.:bvrBLH6710H.86A.0105.2011.0301.1654:bd03/01/2011:svn:pn:pvr:rvnIntelCorporation:rnDH67BL:rvrAAG10189-204:cvn:ct3:cvr: version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.4+bzr20110407-0ubuntu2 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.23-1ubuntu6 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 7.10.1-0ubuntu3 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10.1-0ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg: xserver-xorg 1:7.6+4ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.14.0-0ubuntu4 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu6 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110107+b795ca6e-0ubuntu6 ============================================================== Update regarding the state of the dbus plugin in Compiz 0.9.10 ============================================================== Following works: - fetch current settings - modify settings - activate and deactivate actions. Now, following things don't work: - the list method (a list of option object paths for a plugin) - plugin metadata - introspection - Patches by the community are welcome. + Most of the broken features are not essential for this plugin to be + useful. + + The list method is the most important but not essential since the object + paths are always constructed with same pattern: + /org/freedesktop/compiz/*plugin*/screen0/*option_name*. You don't need + the list method to find the object path. + + Plugin metadata is not that useful unless you are building a compiz + setting editor and don't want to use python and compizconfig. + Introspection is just a nice addition - not critical to the usage of + dbus plugin. + + Patches by the community are still welcome.
