Install latest Beryl svn from packages repository!

[Treviño]

EDIT: Beryl is no more developed, the latest git builds for edgy and feisty are available at the repos below, but they aren't maintened anymore.

Beryl 0.1.1 is coming (http://blog.beryl-project.org/?p=11), but the new fork isn't no more much daily-updated like the previous compiz-quinn... Though, «we» like to stay updated...
So, considering there's some people who love to update, and that beryl need testers for new features included in SVN (isn't it? :confused:), I decided to open a little repository in which I'll upload the latest beryl svn snapshots...
Now, while our great developers are coding, we can have in our PCs their latest works!

Those are the lines you've to add to your /etc/apt/sources.list (select between edgy and dapper)

Simply update your Ubuntu machine to have the new greatest features of Beryl (as always much stable)...!

Packages are called package_upstream-version+svn-date-svn-version_i386.deb
Actually I've used the "standard" package names, anyway I could also rename them to *-svn to make my debs alternative to official Beryl (also if, considering that there are two different repo, it shouldn't be a problem)...
The updates have no a precise plan... I simply will try to update when there are new things...

Bewlow you find the "makedebs" script file I wrote to update, rebuild and mantain the packages; try it if you simply want to compile beryl in your PC or if you want make another repository (especially for other arch)...

#!/bin/bash
# makedebs script for easy compiling and building deb packages for beryl git
#
# (c) 2006-2007 Treviño - Released under GPLv2 Terms
#
# USAGE
# You should simply run this script to create and your beryl git
# tree and package it, but there are also some "advanced" tasks:
#
# ./makedebs performs all the tasks (sync and package)
# ./makedebs update just sync the local data to remote git
# ./makedebs build try to build the needed items
# ./makedebs <item> build only the <item> (if needed)
# ./makedebs rebuild <item> force a rebuild of the <item>
# ./makedebs repack <item> force a repack of the <item>
#
# To change the content of a package (or applying patch) you can add
# some bash script files called "pkgxtra.sh" on each <item> dir to
# perform extra tasks after that each package has been compiled
#
# To Package an <item> file not included yet on the $DISTRODIR you can
# add an "<item>/debian" tree to your $DISTRODIR_USER folder (see below)

I hope you'll like this...
Anyway you could always download the latest version of this script from here (http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/xtra/makedebs.tar.gz) (old script for svn is stil here (http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/xtra/makedebs.tar.gz)).

More informations and updates in the beryl-project.org original thread (http://forum.beryl-project.org/topic-5473-bery-svn-snapshots-unofficial-ubuntu-repository).
Bye...! :wink:

[domino]

Nice how-to and thanks for the small repo :). I tried to import the key from term and got this error. So I imported from Synaptic and it imported fine. I'm running Edgy.

sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error

[Mystique]

something wrong with the repo?

apt-get error:
301 Moved Permanently

on the website, the .deb are there...

mel

[Treviño]

Considering that basically packages for dapper and edgy are basically the same, I'm using the same file in the repository using an .htacess file to redirect....

Please let me know if they don't work... You can use the dapper repo anyway...!

[plueken]

Thanks a lot! This works great! I use Dapper, and I'd tried compiling from the Beryl SVN before, but I'd always had too many problems and gave up. Your repo worked fine, and I'm enjoying all of the new benefits of the SVN 1.1.

Now I just have to wait for the REAL version 1.1 to come out, and then see how much longer until I can get my hands on onestone's experimental Burn animation.

[ThePresident]

First, let me say thanks for putting this together. Upon trying to upgrade, I come up with this:

W: Failed to fetch http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/pool/dapper/beryl-svn/beryl-plugins-data_0.1.1-1+svn20061017-r671-3v1ubuntu0_all.deb

Hoo boy, what have I done?

[PriceChild]

I'm adding this to my collection of guides linked to in my sig.

[Treviño]

ThePresident, do an apt-get update... I've updated my repository and that files aren't no more in...
Then re-upgrade... It must fix!

(http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=43712)PriceChild, many thanks :)

Yes, that fixed it. Thanks a bunch, this should be fun!

[linuxmad]

Treviño,
Will you add the fire effect to your debs?? ...Please don't say no:-k

[Treviño]

When it will be added to the svn it will be done, btw if anyone want it now I could make an extra package or i could add it to the standard packag....

[linuxmad]

btw if anyone want it now I could make an extra package or i could add it to the standard packag...

Yes ...:D I really would like to try this effect.. If you can, please do add it..;)

[Treviño]

..

Yes ...:D I really would like to try this effect.. If you can, please do add it..;)
Added in the repo... Simply upgrade your package and you'll have the... Fire! :D

[linuxmad]

Treviño...thanks You're the MAN!!!!:p

[linuxmad]

This fire effect really ROCKS...
:cool: :cool: :cool:

..Still, and apart from that I can't get beryl to start automatically. The icon bar starts but not beryl. I have to right click the icon and select reload the window manager, after that it works. Is anyone else having this?

[ww2]

Newbie question: if I install XGL + Beryl stable, can I easily upgrade to this afterwards?

[ThePresident]

Newbie question: if I install XGL + Beryl stable, can I easily upgrade to this afterwards?

Sure, why not? I did just that - followed Treviño's instructions and off like a flash (or as flashy as a P3 can get, anyway:p ).

[ww2]

Sure, why not? I did just that - followed Treviño's instructions and off like a flash (or as flashy as a P3 can get, anyway:p ).

Noticed any speed/stability improvement?

In a period of 1 hour I got two hardlocks that forced me to reset X with ctrl + alt + backspace -- and my card is not a X series one. In terms of speed, though, everything is smooth.

That's mostly the reason why I'm considering the upgrade... but if it makes matters worse, I prefer not do anything and learn how to mess with the setup I already have.

Opinions?

[ThePresident]

Well, here's what I'm running, so you can get a sense of what I'm dealing with:

Dell Dimension 4100 (866mhz P3), 512mb RAM, Nvidia MX400 video card

This thing is literally a piece from here and a piece from there. To say I might have a few speed issues isn't exactly a fair review, because you can see what I'm working with. I'm keeping all this in mind as I go.

That being said, if I had a few problems with 0.1...0.1.1 seems to have resolved them. Performance is pretty much flawless, and I'd love to see how this looks on a newer/faster machine...since it looks pretty good right now on this junker!

I am having the same problem as linuxmad though, and from looking around, I think it's a dbus config issue...but I'm waiting for an answer from the professionals on that one! For the moment, I'll just reload the window manager once I start up...which frankly isn't all that often. Overall I'm quite pleased with the upgrade...but as always, YMMV.

[ww2]

Well, I'm also having that issue with 0.1, so it's not endemic to the SVNs. Probably something easy to fix?

By the way, after you upgraded, did you lose any configuration whatsoever, or had to modify anything?

[Treviño]

You lose your configuration... Make a backup of ~/.beryl if you want...
Anyway consider that the configuration file use the same rules, so you could import the old file to the new configuration (editing by hand I mean..)

[proctor]

All went well for me, I had similar problems as ThePresident but after updating & upgrading a few times :P Its looking good. Appreciate the effort, was wondering how to get the daily svn's:D

Good work, lovin the progress of the fork.

[Treviño]

For beryl users, today beryl 0.1.1 has been released...
For svn repository users, there are no too much news, for others I think many!

Anyway the svn repo will be updated in next days, of course...

Just... Upgrade ;)

beryl: '/usr/lib/beryl/libsettings.so' plugin version does not match beryl version.
beryl: Couldn't load plugin 'settings'

Grazie to fix this! ;)

I didn't get that, anyway I'm reupdating.......

The latest packages are ok... That bug was due to some errors in svn ;)

I've updated the 'makdebs' script to make it work with latest svn directory tree...
Look on first page, or downoad it from http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/xtra/makdebs.tar.gz ;)

[Shadowline]

I'm trying the script and I get a strange error (for me it's strange)....


Checked out external at revision 84.

Checked out revision 799.
shadowline@blackhorse:~$ ./makedebs: 27: Syntax error: "(" unexpected


any ideas ?

[Treviño]

You should use bash for running that scirpt...
Read in the main thread in beryl forum how to fix that ;)

[dutchmega]

Great! The SVN-version is better, before this I got weird bugs like black windows in gedit when resizing and such.

[pichalsi]

nice i hope this fixes the thing, when i ctrl alt F1 to console and ctrl alt f7 back to X i get only black screen and cursor...

[dentaku65]

Is very good the svn version... I have a little issue that happening sometimes when I reboot the machine, the problem regarding emerald that hog memory and blink is own interface; I have to killall emerald then reload it to get it works.

Any thoughts?

[cocoapunk]

Thanks a lot 3v1n0 :)
Just a quick question (this might be better suited for beryl forums, but I'm not sure if its due to ubuntu X configuration or if this is a default X setting in 7.1, since it never happened in 6.9):
Can I have shift+backspace not do the same thing as crtl+alt+backspace (as in restart gdm/X)?

Thanks

hope it's ok to run beryl svn without the plugin data.. lol time to find out

[foxy123]

It looks like Dapper packages are build against newer libc6 library and do not install on a standard Dapper :(

I tried the script, it works OK, but I cannot figure out how to skip building packages I do not need.

That Trevino...he's a swell feller, don't you all think so?

[Treviño]

This is OT here... There's nothing related to my repositories... Just to the list!

All the files available in my repos hare under the sun's light... Just look at the falcon's html front-end!

[Ago12]

Yep, I have never got problems of this kind with Trevino's repo...

[foxy123]

as Dapper svn packages are uninstallable on a standard Dapper, is it possible to fix the script to make it work under new svn structure? I currently get the following error:
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/trunk': 405 Method Not Allowed (http://svn.beryl-project.org)

would be much appreciated :)

[Treviño]

Ok... I'll reupload it...
Grab it from the first page!

[darrenm]

Trevino - Firstly thanks for the great packages.

Are you going to put Beryl-vidcap in there soon?

Thanks!

[Treviño]

It's a problem to add vidcap...
becouse it needs extra package that aren't still packaged under edgy, so I should name them, but I whouldn't use a wrong name, so I must ask/wait the beryl team...

[foxy123]

Ok... I'll reupload it...
Grab it from the first page!

oh, thanks a lot. When will you do it? It is still an old version on the first page...

[Treviño]

No... It's updated... Check it!

it still does not work for me, goes into a loop:

no, I have the same loop, the makedebs going over and over again. I cannot even stop it: it resumes after Ctrl+C and 'killall makedebs'. Only closing a terminal shuts it down. And it does not download anything from svn... ANy idea?

[Treviño]

Sorry... I saw that I used a wrong svn url (wrong protocol), try to take the new script from the first page (I haven't updated the linked script, yet... Use the posted one).

Right url is svn://svn.beryl-project.org/beryl/trunk/ (no http://.....)

Bye...

[McQuaid]

Can you update beryl-dbus? (currently the 15th)

I'm getting this error:

libberylsettings: Couldn't get vtable from '/usr/lib/beryl/libdbus.so' plugin
Reloading all options.

and the dbus plugin is not showing up as an option in beryl settings.

[foxy123]

no, it's even worse, sorry... closing terminal does not kill the looping script :)

[foxy123]

no, it's even worse, sorry... closing terminal does not kill the looping script :)
OK, I have copied and pasted the script from the first page and it started all right but then it got into a loop again:

the same thing happens with the uploaded script (I guess you have updated it already).

[Jonathan2007]

Thanks for this repository. I am attempting to get Beryl/Aquamarine installed with X.org 7.1 and Mepis.

[foxy123]

it looks like the script does not see .svn directory and running itself over and over again

[Rob2687]

The makefile in trunk already has a nice little script to build debs for you.
All you need to do is check out trunk and run make all-debs.

[Treviño]

Yes... That works... Anyway my script is more complete and dedicated to them who want to create another distro for others archs or debian based systems...

Anyway I've put the repo in digg, if anyone want share it... http://digg.com/linux_unix/Get_always_the_latest_Beryl_stuff_in_you_Ubuntu_bo x_without_compiling

yes, the script is great and more convenient. It preserves old debs in case there are some bugs in the current svn, which is nice

I had to change some directories in the script to make it work for me. For some reasons it downloads svn into truck folder but looks for .svn in beryl/truck. So change it to truck, but now debs and debs-old folder is created outside the directory I am running script from. It is not a big deal though.

[partriv]

I have used your new repositories and installed the updates, and while beryl has upgraded, it broke my emerald install, citing the following error message:

emerald-theme-manager: error while loading shared libraries: libemeraldengine.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

any idea what might cause this? and how i can reload it? thanks!

[Treviño]

Have you installed libemeraldengine0? :o

[partriv]

it was installed before, when i was running 0.1.1, then i did an update using your repo, 'something happened', and the library went away (i knew this because this is what it said when i tried to run beryl-manager).

i went into my package manader and repaired the broken install, now i have 0.1.3 from your repo and everything is working GREAT!! :-) thanks!

it's actually running better than before :)

[hikaricore]

Just a note if anyone else noticed serious beryl slowdown when you updated, the desktop cube plugin now has a transparent cube option which gets enabled by default. :) It looks really sweet... but if you're using an integrated intel chipset like myself this drops you to about 5fps... roflmfao, took me a few days to figure out what the hell was wrong. I also personally disabled the lighting option, not sure if this is new or not but I don't remember seeing it and it was killing me too.

I'm not entirely sure why, but when I updated mine, I didn't get any of the text within the window, it just said "do you agree to the changement" which is an odd way of putting it. I only just now was able to see your post on it and fix my repositories, this was yesterday that I saw the message.

Thanks for the great packages, with the exception of a few weird things going on, Beryl is working great.

[Dr. Nick]

Yeah, not sure if it was just the timing of it all but I got the box with no text aswell. Transparent wasnt enabled by default for me though, but enabling it makes it look very cool

I'm starting to think transparency replaced some other option that wasn't actually in existance anymore and I mistakenly had it checked, as I havn't been able to reproduce my original issue this is my best guess.

Once you've done apt-get update you just need to do

sudo apt-get install beryl beryl-manager emerald-themes and it will install beryl

[hcteks]

Okay, it installed, but when I do beryl-manager, it loads up, shows the beryl splash screen, then logs me out? my computer is a HP dv2000 laptop, nvidia geforce go 6150, 100gb hdd, amd turion 64 x2

The plugin that does that effect is called "A 3D World". It should be included in the svn. I've got it on my system.

[kvonb]

I added the repos at the head of this thread and got this:

I'm VERY confused, do I use the instructions at the top of this thread or the one near the end?

Thanks, KEv :)

EDIT: I just got a Beryl/Emerald update notification, but I'm a bit leary to update with those errors from apt-get update. Also do I still need to install those extra things at the beginning?

EDIT2:

I guess I just remove the "ubuntu.compiz.net" repos as I no longer need these?

[kvonb]

UPDATE:

Went ahead and did the updates, all is working perfectly :)

The only problem I had is this (see attachment), which was solved by doing the "fix broken" in synaptic.

Many thanks for your work on this :)

[hikaricore]

Oh incase no one else noticed, beryl svn might be a little slow being updated. The hard drive for the http://beryl-project.org/ site bit the dust on sunday.

[trinaryouroboros]

Hey I got Beryl by itself rockin, can someone relay a method to get transparency like svn working in 64-bit?

:confused:

--Aaron

I've found that if you turn the 'opacity during move' to around 75, and 'opacity when not moving' at 100, then turn the fade time right down, I don't get that much of a performance hit- it's not really noticable when scroll-wheel rotating, and it looks super pretty when manually rotating.

[Treviño]

kvonb, update emerald before...

[Sailfish]

No eye rolling. I am very new to Ubuntu! Editing the source list seems to be the first order of business. There seems to be a lot there and most of it is commented. I traced the links to see what was "live" and what wasn't... Now I have decided I want to link to Trevino for my Beryl install. What should my sources.lst look like once edited? This could be a long and painfull process for me#-o

[Sailfish]

Ignore last post... I got it figured out... Sometimes I get a lazy and pray for help.

[kvonb]

OK, just got the latest updates to 0.1.3. All works well, but the Beryl splash screen says 0.1.2! It is a different colour, it's now orange instead of Blue, does this indicate a problem with the update?

Regards, KEv :)

[Sailfish]

I have Beryl up and going now with two issues. Issue one is window transparency. When I grab them by the title bar, they don't do it. I suspect that there is a control in the Beryl Manager that I can't find. Could someone point me the right way? 2nd is the Cube desktop. I found the controls for this but am unable to generate a cube... Pointers for this would be most welcome as well? Good day all!

[heartsmagic]

Today i upgraded to beryl-svn via Treviño's repos, it is working charmy, thank you.

[jbernardo]

Thanks for the script! After finding out I needed to call it from outside a beryl dir, I was able to build beryl-* and emerald-* packages for my amd64, and they run fine!
My next step will be to see which of the reps have the source for aquamarine (or if there is a repository with the amd64 binary).
Thanks!

[Treviño]

To build aquamarine you should just have a "debian" directory for it... You could add one to your "./beryl/trunk/distro-specific-build-files-user" directory as is done for other packages...

[eXisor]

I'm getting a '404 not found' on all the 20061205 debs. Any idea what's up?

[hikaricore]

This happens every so often when the repository list doesn't link to the most recent versions of the packages. If you absolutely can't stand not having the most bleeding edgy version of beryl installed you can simply download the files you need from: http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/pool/edgy/beryl-svn/

Otherwise wait till tomorrow and it should have been corrected by then. :P

[eXisor]

hikaricore: Thanx for the explanation.

Waiting a day is no problem, just as long as it's not an all or nothing situation (i.e that some beryl packages upgraded but since the 404's did not the next reboot will kill beryl).

Thanx anyway.

I've had 404's happen multiple times, only once did this actually mess up beryl and it was easily corrected by manually downloading the latest plugin package from the repository's http listing. :)

The problem with the repository update is gone now btw.

Sorry again for this, but my update scripts (and the falcon repository builder) some times make me angry...
All has been fixed at about 5pm Gtm+1 time :P

No sweat hikaricore & trevino. I exercised a bit of patience and got the updates after your fix.

Thanx, trevino, for providing this service.

[hikaricore]

Nooooo they fixed glxsnow!!! now you have to toggle it instead of it starting automaticly... those bas****!

Dapper packages do not work due to some dependency problem. I am not sure if Treviño still compiles them. You'd better use his script to build them yourself. It is very easy. You just run the script and that's it. It does not compile the last package (a decoration manager for Metacity) due to unmet dependency.

[mlw4428@gmail.com]

What dependencies do I need to build it for myself using the script?

[foxy123]

What dependencies do I need to build it for myself using the script?

frankly speaking I do not remember. Try to run it and then figure out what to install. Or maybe Treviño could help.

Hey everyone

I just saw on the Beryl project site that they´ve released 0.1.3 officially yesterday.

I was using the 0.1.3 that I got from this repo.

My question is: Will it automatically upgrade to this official stable release?

Thanks in advance

[Get_Ya_Wicked_On]

No. It is a SVN repo...

[mlw4428@gmail.com]

Does anyone out there know where to get svn builds of Beryl for Dapper? If not could someone compile em? I'm working on it...but I've got too many damned dependency issues that I'm trying to nail down.

If someone already has this setup would you post a deb somewhere or PM me and I'll be glad to post it. Thanks!

[kvonb]

....erm

How come I can't change Emerald themes since the last update?

Methinks something went bad :(.

[hikaricore]

I've noticed this for the last 2 updates I've done. I thought it was because I install heilodor, but alas it's not just me.

[kvonb]

It seems they changed it to be more like Windows, you have to change the theme, click on "apply", then restart X!

Oh joy!

[hikaricore]

It seems they changed it to be more like Windows, you have to change the theme, click on "apply", then restart X!

Oh joy!

No no no.... windows crashes when you hit apply.

:)

But seriously, I've actually tried that, to no avail. I think there might be an issue with the build we're using right now.

[kvonb]

OK, now the cube ends and Skydome have vanished! I don't get it, do they just forget and leave bits out? I'd hate to see them fix a car: Oh we got the wipers working but we forgot to put the engine back in!

Switched back to non-SVN, all fixed :)

[Shadowline]

kvonb and anyone else that runs into this.... Enable the png and svg plugins to get your skydome and cube images back.
:-D

[kvonb]

One problem that I have had with the SVNs and also now with the "Official" release, is that the menu and text pop-ups on web pages appear UNDERNEATH the browser window and I can't click on them! It is a real nuisance because it makes it unusable. I have to use beryl-manager to reload the window manager a few times to fix it. It also happens with ALL the menus, they appear below the current window not just Firefox :confused:. I believe this started with the last 3 updates. Any ideas anyone?

Regards, Kev :)

[Treviño]

kvonb and anyone else that runs into this.... Enable the png and svg plugins to get your skydome and cube images back.
:-D
That's the right solution... New png plugin should be selected; and svg if you use svg graphics too...

Regarding dapper, if anyone has time/wish of making debs using my makedebs script, simply he can use it and then contact me to share the files to be hosted...

Bye!

I use your script on Dapper, but I am not sure if the debs will be alright as I think they should be built in a clean environment. However I can send you them for testing. Let me know. My last build is fron Dec 10.

Hi and thanks for the repos.

Have you guys tried to change resolution with xrandr while running beryl?

It does not do well. :confused:

I really need that to switch my resolution on laptop, so that i can connect basic projector on my vga output and show my beryl effects in a business meeting. 8)

[foxy123]

I submitted yesterday the beryl-svn debs to Treviño. If you want to try them, please add
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb dapper beryl-svn
in your sources.list. Please let me know if they work for you as I am not sure.

[eXisor]

Anyone else have no panel shadows with the latest update?

Is this just a default setting they changed? If so, where do i go to change it back?

[foxy123]

I think it depends on the theme. But I use a Dec. 25 snapshot at the moment.

[eXisor]

Hmm. Tried that but it doesn't appear to be theme dependent. It's the 27/12 update that doesn't cast panel shadows onto the desktop anymore.

Windows still cast and everything else seems fine.

Anyone else tried 27/12?

yes, I've just compiled from svn and panel shadow is gone. To get it back, go to Beryl Settings Manager/Visual Effects/Window Decoration/Misc. Options/Appearance and tick Draw shadows on panel-type windows.

[el-sio]

Hi there !

I am desperately trying to get Beryl working on my edgy pPC arch, but with the regular packages (not SVN) I get this error while launching beryl-settings :

el-sio@rivendell:~$ beryl-settings

** ERROR **: no d_ for a_active_plugins
aborting...
Abandon (core dumped)


I decided to go for the SVN version which might have solved the problem so I tried to use your repo but I receive the following error :

Impossible de récupérer http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/dists/edgy/Release Unable to find expected entry beryl-svn/binary-powerpc/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

Is it a problem on my side or on the repo ? I am kind of a newbe (Ok not "quite" let's say completely) but I think pPC architecture can be easily forgotten during an update (rhaa exotic arch using bastards ;p ).

Thanks for your help !

[eXisor]

Today's update seems to have killed beryl settings manager. Beryl and Emerald are both working, but I can't get to the beryl settings.

This is the message I get in xsession-errors:

beryl: Plugin 'snap' can't be activated because plugin 'wobbly' is already providing feature 'edgeresistance'
Couldn't initialise snap. This should not happen!

Anyone else getting this?

[L3oN]

Fix it trying to install " beryl-settings-bindings " (I hope ;) )

[baobab68]

I've added Trevino's SVN Beryl Repository to my sources.list recently and I've had a couple of successful updates.

Today's update however hasn't worked. It seems like the following file in the update was corrupt:

W: Failed to fetch http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/pool/edgy/beryl-svn/beryl-plugins_0.1.5+svn20070114-r2648+3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb
Size mismatch


I downloaded the .DEB file manually and tried to install but GDebi reports:

"The package might be corrupted or you might not have permission to open the file"

Can anyone more experience in Ubuntu please tell me if there is a way to revert the latest update? I've switched back to Metacity in the meantime as Beryl is currently dead without plugins.

Trevino - has there been a compile problem concerning Beryl-Plugins?

Regards and thanks
bao

[cgrenier]

I have the same problem. Will it at least be fixed by the next update?

[baobab68]

I have been wondering if perhaps Trevino's repository is all scripted and maybe if the next SVB update compiles cleanly it will all work again.

I miss my Beryl :-)

Is there no way to revert the latest update using some aptitude feature?

Have you fixed it? I had to put beryl-settings-bindings into PRIOPKGS to make it build beryl-settings, but I am not sure if there are any other changes needed.

[mid_night gypsy]

Foxy123
Yes, The problems is fixed.You need to install Python 2.5 min. and Beryl settings Bindings.If windows don't wobbly,go to BSM window management and turn off snapping windows.
Hope this help,gypsy

Trevino - after a quick couple of updates this morning, and turning off the snap plugin, all is good again.

Thanks for the prompt response.

[Hendrixski]

I've been playing around with Beryl all day, I first installed it a few months ago and it would always crash. Today I updated everything in beryl and it would crash before it started, so I updated my ATI drivers, and now it works pretty well. I just can't get it to switch desktops for some odd reason.

Would I benefit from adding any other updates?

[eXisor]

L3on: Thanx, that did it.

[lotacus]

Um, I had 1.3 installed and it wouldn't work with Edgy AMD64+ATI. Then I installed 1.4 which wasn't in any repo's at the time and everything worked nice. So now I see 1.5 in the repo and wondering if anyone has a changelog.

[dgorchak]

Maybe someone ran into this problem? I'm running Feisty (all latest packages), luckily I found taskbar-compiz package for KDE that replaces the default one. It's a modified taskbar plugin for kicker that doesn't display windows from all viewports (original one does).
This package is from 3v1n0's repository, so ... maybe I can ask here? Adding this plugin to kicker crashes it ... and I have no idea how to fix this problem.


Can it be because of version mismatch?

taskbar-compiz/edgy uptodate 0.1+3v1ubuntu0
kdebase-bin/feisty uptodate 3.5.5a.dfsg.1-1ubuntu18

now dbus is in beryl-plugins package, uninstall beryl-dbus, then upgrade

[eXisor]

trevino:

I'm getting an error in the mailcap file (the emerald entry) when I use some apps (wxdfast is one) .

Has this been reported before? If so, apologies for the nag, but the matter persists.

The beryl bug system ticket is closed and reckons there is something wrong with the way you package/create the .deb.

Ticket #546 - Invalid lines in /etc/mailcap on Ubuntu http://bugs.beryl-project.org/ticket/546

Could you please take a look and maybe respond to the ticket is it isn't .deb related?

[Treviño]

That's not a my bug... It's due to beryl official debian data... It should have been fixed on past days, but I'm not sure of it (no problems in kubuntu :P)...

Regarding amd64 debs, there are some on http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=955

[eXisor]

Trevino:

(no problems in kubuntu

So your /etc/mailcap file in kubuntu is hunky dory? (On gnome a visual check of the affected lines clearly shows them to be borked, but since I don't have x/kubuntu I can't easily check those).

It's due to beryl official debian data

Hmmm. I think I see your point. Correct me if I am wrong, but I'd guess the appropriate string for insertion into the mailcap file is wrong/broken somewhere in a file, and you're saying it isn't your file, that you take it straight from their svn.

Tell you what I'll do, I'll download the source from their svn and see if i can find the string.

Edit: Update:

I found the incorrect string. It's in both occurrences (is the entire content of actually) of a file called emerald.mime. It seems to be used for the debian build, as you said, but I don't know why it exists in two places.

The contents of emerald.mime should change to
application/x-emerald-theme; nametemplate=%s.emerald

I updated the bug report with this data, so hopefully it'll be sorted soon. Thanx anyway Trevino. Great service you're doing us here.

Thanks

Solved it uninstalling and then installing again all beryl related packages.

Aquamarine is the obvious choice for KDE users as it integrates far better then Emerald. But what benefits does Heliodor bring for GNOME users? Is Heliodor better then Emerald?

Hi all

I sorted out my tile problem and my settings manager problem with a remove of all Beryl packages, reboot, reinstall all Beryl pacakages, reboot.

Now, however, I notice a new Beryl feature and am not sure where to turn it off.

When I point the mouse to the title bar of a window, a small thumbnail of the window appears at the mouse pointer. I know this is meant to happen when I point to a minimised window, but I didn't think it should happen for a displayed window...

Any suggestions?

Any chance you could point me in the right direction? I'm sure there is just some package that I haven't installed.

[Treviño]

Try to install some python-dev packages (and maybe python-support or something else...); I unfortunately don't know the exact package :|

Foxy, maybe you could try to build it again (there are official builds for dapper, so I think it's compilable)... However if you've installed the python-support package, and you've still compilation problems you can always force the compilation editing the file beryl/trunk/distro-specific-build-files/beryl-set
tings-bindings/debian/control removing or changing the "python-support (>= 0.5.3)" string.

In case it helps...

I managed to get past the error I was getting before, having had a look in the python.m4 file, but am now stuck with other errors :(. Anyway.... to the point

I downloaded the pythion 2.5 tarball - http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5/Python-2.5.tgz - and then did the following:


tar xzf Python2.5.tgz
cd Python2.5
./configure --prefix=/python2.5
make
make install


it all went without a hitch. I don't know if there is some way for me to package this up as a deb, but I see no reason for it not working for anyone else.

After examining the /usr/share/aclocal*/python.m4 files, if found that if you compile and install python2.5 to a non-standard location (/python2.5 in my case) then you can force the configure scripts to find that version of python by setting an environment variable:


export PYTHON=/python2.5/bin/python2.5


and that might solve any python dependency problems.

Still cant get beryl to compile, but thought this might be helpful.... maybe not :)

Is it corect, that also fo rEdgy no new updates appear?
If so, does someone know another repo for Beryl svn?

The repo is actually alive and working but beryl has now moved to git, and devs doesn't provide updates since some days, so I can't upload no new packages...
Just stay tuned! :)

Just like to say thanks to whoever upgraded Beryl to 0.3 in the Dapper GIT repo!

I cant find a post concerning Feisty's repo.

After todays update from trevi's repo (beryl-plugins and beryl-plugins-data, or something like that), i get an error when loading beryl:
** (beryl-manager:5883): WARNING **: Beryl a reçu un signal de terminaison 11
Avertissement du gestionnaire de fenêtres : « » trouvé dans la base de données de configuration n'est pas une valeur correcte pour la combinaison de touches « toggle_shaded »

I then removed ~./beryl, and beryl loads fine. But i get HUGE lags: movement are not fluid like just minutes before.
And when trying to activate the "Performance" plugin to see ho much fps i get, beryl crashes, and gives this error, again.

EDIT: Quick translation of the error:
"WARNING: Beryl received a terminate signal 11
Warning from window manager: « » found in the configuration database isnt a valid value for the key combo « toggle_shaded »"

Edit2:
Well, i did remove ~/.beryl and re-did my previous config. After a reboot all seems quite good; i also noticed some new goodness. :)
Works great now, thank for these packages!

This is a great script, thanks for providing it.

Maybe something is changed, but it fails now:

paul :~/Desktop$ bash ./makedebs
There are problems while retrieving the beryl items list; exiting...

Is there something I can do to get it working?

Beryl development has stopped. We all are waiting for commcomp - Community Compiz

Hi!
I want to try the svn version of beryl so I can use the widget plug in. So, I installed it using treviño's repo but it crashes when I try to modify something in the beryl settings, then, even if I re-start X it won't work any more.
I have searched all day (I mean all day, since I woke up in the morning to right now!) in this forums and other websites, I have tried every "solution" I find here or there but I can't get it to work. How can I do it? Can someone explain me how? (I'm not too newbie, been using ubuntu for almost a year)
I have Ubuntu Feisty, Nvidia geforce 7300gs. I'm desperate!
Thanks in advance!

You should switch to compiz-fusion, using Trevino's repository. A lot of bugs have been fixed in compiz-fusion, whereas beryl was abandoned at the last version. Development is continuing under the name compiz-fusion .. see opencompositing.org for info.

i had similar issues.

using synaptic, i searched for beryl and uninstalled all beryl/emerald packages.

then in my home directory, i deleted the .beryl folder.

back to synaptic...reinstalled beryl, emerald, and beryl-manager

all was working fine after that. :)

So, is there a way to fix this problem. I have tried Compiz-Fusion and it's crap! It's really slow and laggy compared to Beryl, and the settings manager is terrible.

I'd really like to try and compile my own git version of Beryl from the latest/last sources, but I don't know how. I'd really appreciate some help on this.

Thanks, Tim
