HowTo: install compiz-reloaded 0.8.14 on for Debian 8 and 9

[stevepusser]

I don't have a Buster platform to test those on, myself. I suppose it will become more important when MX Linux starts developing a Buster-based release. Anyway, here are the instructions for that second repo which has rebuilds from the tuxfamily source files: https://software.opensuse.org//download ... z-reloaded

After deleting my current compiz that was broken and cleaning up the repository mess I had I have reinstalled and happy to say I am back up and running with compiz on testing.
I will let you know if anything breaks and let me know it you need me to test anything or post any config files.
Thanks for keeping this alive.

Nice! Which repository are you using? Does CCSM work? If so, I could add "testing" to the thread title.

Code: Select all

cihonm@cihonm:~$ inxi -r
Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list
           deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
           deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
           deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main contrib
           Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:stevenpusser:compiz-reloaded-rebuilds.list
           deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser:/compiz-reloaded-rebuilds/Debian_Testing/ /


Yes CCSM is working.

Great! That's the repo where I just rebuilt the source packages from the tuxfamily repo, so that's what I'll recommend for any Buster users.
