[SOLVED]Compiz not working any more

#1 Post by Shark »

Hi

I have Debian Testing and since today's upgrade my compiz is not working any more. I have intel GMA4500m graphic card.

When i:

Code: Select all

compiz --replace
I get:

Code: Select all

compiz (core) - Fatal: Root visual is not a GL visual
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

Launching fallback window manager
I ran compiz-check script. Output is:

Code: Select all

For now, downgrading xserver-xorg-core package to 2:1.10.1-2 fixes the problem. Read more about libgl1-mesa-dri problem here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.de ... c4e714fbc4.

Thanks for any help

Is it just compiz that doesn't work or is GL broken? Can you run a 3D game?

hi

Compiz is broken. I cant even do:

Code: Select all

metacity --replace
I downgraded to previous version of xserver-xorg-core and now compiz works. People here have the same problem http://groups.google.com/group/linux.de ... c4e714fbc4

I had the same problem today. What worked for me was actually upgrading the xserver-xorg-core package to version 2:1.10.2-2 (from unstable - I have "testing" set as target release, but I have some packages installed from unstable and experimental) :

apt-get -t unstable install xserver-xorg-core

Use the following solution under your own risk:

I had the same problem after updating the xserver-xorg-core. So after so many hours trying to solve the bug, I found the solution in
"How to fix compiz in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS after updating"
http://www.alexisabarca.com/2011/10/rep ... ment-18628

The comments are in spanish, so let me translate for the benefit of the reader. The solution proposed consists in downgrading to a previous version
using the following two commands (ONLY for non ENVIDIA USERS): I have an INTEL graphics card, so the solution applied to my case:
sudo aptitude install xserver-common=2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7
sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-core=2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7

(answer "yes" when it prompts). Then restart the system.

Now, in case it doesn't work (it happened to me at the beginning), then try to remove "xserver-xorg-core" completely using Synaptic. Then proceed with the
above commands (be careful, Do not restart the system unless you have installed the xserver-org-core again with the above instructions. Otherwise there is
the risk of losing all the X graphics when login again).
Finally, in order to avoid to update the same software and to return to the same problematic situation, the same site proposes the following two instructions (which are to
be executed from a root console):
echo xserver-common hold | dpkg --set-selections
echo xserver-xorg-core hold | dpkg --set-selections

If the bug with the xorg is solved, then you can enable the updating again by executing the above commands with "install" instead of "hold" or by executing "apt-get install" followed by the
name of the package.

Hope it works for you the same it worked nicely for me. Thanks to Alexis Barca for posting the solution.
