Compiz-fusion + 2008 + Ooo = crash

sjaglin · November 9, 2007

Hi,

I run 2008 since a while now and I have a wonderful time, all works so much better than any of my previous mandriva distros and that direct out of the box. Compiz fusion with all options on is a beauty and makes my daily jobs very fun AND more efficient!

But! I have that nagging but which makes me lose my window frames each time I work on an open-office file. Not a major problem, I carry on the work and restart the DM but it would be better without theis problem.

I couldn t find it in the bug list so I show it here to know if :

1- Is it a known problem

2- Any remedy?

I have a crash

Haven't found it with open office, but periodically from time to time my windows manager crashes... very annoying. I have installed the updated compiz-fusion from the backports, and found this problem much better, along with a few other bug fixes. Are you running KDE?

Hi,

Yes am running KDE and all feeds for my rpms are official, no backports as apparently they are not stable...

You are using that nvidia 6800GT, right?

Can you copypaste here the xorg.conf part that is related to your videocard?

I'm using an almost equally powerful nvidia card (7600 GS), and have no problems at all with compiz (compiz fusion, to be more exact). Or maybe not, I do have a problem: I don't actually like these effects, so "fusion-icon" usually just stays in the tray running the default window manager... :P

Hi,

Apparently so, however the backports with Compiz-Fusion seem to run much better for me. Several bugs are fixed, including problems I was having with video on my desktop. One thing you could try would be to backup your system, enable the backports in the MCC, and update your system. The compiz-fusion packages will come up by default. I installed them using the same process, with a backup just in case, and have since disabled the backport updates...

I use Mondo to backup, which is in the 2008.0 package repositories. Really easy to use program, it can back up to cd, dvd, another hard drive partition, and much more besides. It can be set to verify backups, and you can then compare them to your live system, just to make sure. It works by using a bootable media (in my case a cd), then restores from your backup media (I use a hard drive partition, though in the past I've used dvds and cds). You can restore in part, everything, you can wipe your partitions and recreate them elsewhere on your hard drive... I highly recommend it. I tinker alot with my system to figure out how it works, so for me this has been an invaluable tool. Good luck.
