Anyone can fill here instructions for xfce?
[edit] Install order
I had to install the packages in this order:
- compiz
- libcompizconfig
- compizconfig-python
- ccsm
However, fusion-icon-git depends on compiz-git. Something is wrong here.
Plus I think there we're -some dependencies, which I don't remember. Just a word of warning for other newbies like me - out of my stupidity I went for all GIT versions and I got some serious problems. Also, I had to get the same emerald version as the compiz version to get emerald working. Kristjans 21:43, 27 August 2007 (EDT)
[edit] Removing "Install libx11 from [testing]" Section
Seeing as the newer libx11 has been moved to "extra", I am taking out this section.
Compiz Fusion requires a newer version of <tt>libx11</tt> which is currently only available in the [testing] repository. To enable the testing repo, edit '''/etc/pacman.conf''' as root and change the following lines: #[testing] #Include = /etc/pacman.d/testing to this: [testing] Include = /etc/pacman.d/testing Save and exit. Synchronize the repos and install <tt>libx11</tt> with the following command: # pacman -Sy libx11 Finally, once you have installed <tt>libx11</tt> you can disable the [testing] repo again by re-commenting the lines mentioned above (in ''/etc/pacman.conf'').
If the section is not actually obviated for some reason, please replace it and explain the reason here. --Anthony5429 14:14, 17 September 2007 (EDT)
- libx11 isn't in the extras repository yetI can understand the desire to remove deprecated information, but the new package isn't in the [extras] yet, which means that anyone following this wiki until that time will undoubtedly fail. --thayer Monday, 17 September 2007
- Hrm...? When I go here, I see version 1.1.3-1 (updated 2007-09-16) in the "extra" repo.... I am running that version from the extra on arch64... --Anthony5429 19:23, 17 September 2007 (EDT)
- Hrmm is right... I see what you mean by the date stamp, but it was my understanding that the -x trailing the version number is the package build revision number. Thus 1.1.3-4 would be the 4th package revision to libx11 v1.1.3, making it a newer version than 1.1.3-1. --thayer Monday, 17 September 2007
- oo - I wonder if the version which is in extra would work. Has anyone here tried using the version in extra which was updated on 2007-09-16? --Anthony5429 21:22, 17 September 2007 (EDT)
- I can confirm that the libx11 package from [extras] does not work with Compiz Fusion. It results in broken icons all over the desktop and CF won't load at all unless the [testing] version is installed. --thayer Tuesday, 18 September 2007, 08:09 AM
- Ahh - thanks for trying that out! Well, as a future note to anyone who sees this at a later time, if libx11 1.1.3-4 or later is available in extra, that section may be removed from the article. --Anthony5429 11:24, 18 September 2007 (EDT)
- The new version is up. I'm taking off part about using the testing repo for it now. --Anthony5429 05:06, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
