Gstyle project - a new full gnome theme manager

[chaopoch]

yes very strange

so what do you have now in this Default.ini ?...

[cube]
s0_skydome_animated = true
s0_color = #00000000
s0_scale_image = true
as_next_slide_key = Disabled
s0_skydome_image = /home/paulchang/.config/gstyle/elements/cubemodel/Rattler/skydome//save-da-planet-01-2048x1024.png
s0_adjust_image = true
s0_active_opacity = 0.000000
s0_skydome = true

[cubemodel]
s0_concurrent_load = false
s0_model_x_offset = 0.000000;
s0_model_animation = 1;
s0_model_rotation_rate = 0.000000;
s0_model_filename = /home/paulchang/.config/gstyle/elements/cubemodel/Rattler/obj/Rattler/Rattler_0.obj;
s0_global_model_scale_factor = 6.707200
s0_model_scale_factor = 0.710000;
s0_model_fps = 7;
s0_light_diffuse = 0.821800
s0_model_z_offset = -1.000000;
s0_render_front_and_back = true
s0_light_specular = 1.000000
s0_model_rotation_plane = 0;
s0_model_y_offset = 0.000000;
s0_light_ambient = 0.992600

...
and everything works (for compiz) but cubemodel?

if it s the case, maybe the plugin path is not the same between the deb i made for cubemodel and the compiz deb you used from repositories

i install the plugin in /usr/local and ubuntu debs in /usr...(not sure)
...

Yes, everything works for compiz except the cubemodel.

For the compiz installed from repository, all the .so plugin files are placed in /usr/lib/compiz and the .xml metadata files in /usr/share/compiz, and those are where I put the libcubemodel.so and cubemodel.xml in my deb.

But, I find one thing strange, although these two files libcubemodel.so and cubemodel.xml are in the right directory respectively, I can not find the 'Cube 3D models' plugin in CCSM until I copy libcubemodel.so to ~/.compiz/plugins and cubemodel.xml to ~/.compiz/metadata.



BTW, do I have to set up anything in CCSM after I install cubemodel plugin to enable it?

normally you must see

/home/paulchang/.config/gstyle/elements/cubemodel/Rattler/obj/Rattler/Rattler_0.obj;

when you enter in cube 3D models, but the problem is not there i think

maybe you use gconf only to configure compiz

compizconfig-backend-gconf installed? (if yes, try to remove it) and install fusion-icon if not installed


maybe another solution:

1/ create a file
/home/paulchang/.config/compiz/compizconfig/config

2/ put this in the file:

[gnome_session]
backend = ini
profile =

3/remove the Default.ini

4/restart compiz

...maybe you use gconf only to configure compiz

compizconfig-backend-gconf installed? (if yes, try to remove it) and install fusion-icon if not installed...

If I remove compizconfig-backend-gconf, all the following packages will be removed,

compiz, compiz-gnome, fusion-icon, gstyle

so I can not remove it.

1/ create a file
/home/paulchang/.config/compiz/compizconfig/config

2/ put this in the file:

[gnome_session]
backend = ini
profile =

3/remove the Default.ini

4/restart compiz

1. The file config is already there, and the following lines are in it,

[gnome_session]
profile =
plugin_list_autosort = true

2. If I put the line backend = ini in file config, I will lose all the personal settings in CCSM, and the Sphere effect will be switched to Desktop Wall.

I remove the line, and everything gets back.

3. I remove the Default.ini, but it is immediately created by itself just after I delete it, so I can not remove it.

so the question is where your actual config is stored?

and the deb is not a good thing

i ll test it all form a live-cd with "normal" compiz from repo to see if i have the same problems


ps: i think you can export your config from ccsm, switch to ini backend then import your config maybe ?

++

[smo]

ok i m on a live-cd

so keys are right in gconf-editor (or xml files)

apps/compiz/plugins....

i search how to switch from gconf to ini backend without losing configuration...

compizconfig-settings-manager not available directly

++

[smo]

ok it works very well

in ccsm go to settings, export your config, and just select "flat-file" configuration backend in the backend section, now import your config file

it create the Default.ini with all your settings

i try to install cubemodel and gstyle now

[smo]

ok

so 3 problems we ll have to fix first

.gnome2/backgrounds.xml is not created on a fresh install or live-cd until i start "gnome-apparence"

this Default.ini problem, i ll find howto export gconf config with gconftool-2 i think...

and the deb i made is bad, not working in ccsm, we ll have to find another solution as we can t use homedir as install dir in a deb i think ??

apps/compiz/plugins....

I find NO cubemodel key in apps/compiz/plugins, why?

no way to export the gcong config as a flat file for me

did you tried :

git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/fusion/plugins/cubemodel
cd cubemodel
make install

then verify if you have the key (i have it)

?

Unfortunately, there is still NO key, I just don't understand why could this happen?
