[Compiz] [Bug 1293384] Re: Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04
For Compiz Developers, I think there is some trouble with Window Previews. I am sure, there is something related to that which causes a BOD. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293384 Title: Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1293384/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Compiz] [Bug 1293384] Re: Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04
Weelll Said Peter Goudman. Compiz Alone is destroying all the goodwill earned so far by Ubuntu. I am always ready to hit that reset button to get out of that black screen lockup happening quite often, specially when you have a lots of windows open. If you have any Docks(even plan is pretty bad these days). it is bound to happen more frequent. SO frustrating, that every now and then, I have to close Plank, then do a compiz --replace when the mouse starts getting sluggish. It is when the mouse starts getting Sluggish, that the BOD(Black Screen of Deatch) is coming soon to happen. Every release of Ubuntu, comes with GUI glitches that are so disgusting in a day today work. I think after version 11.04, almost everything is messed up with Ubuntu. It looks as if Compiz development is more geared towards keeping Unity Happy and careless about any other DE. While XFCE is really great, Try Ubuntu Mate : I found it quite fast, sleek and awesome from the first look, and with at least 30+ including 25 odd Chrome(memory management sucks) windows, it was still rock stable, at least in my case. https://ubuntu-mate.org/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293384 Title: Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1293384/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Compiz] [Bug 1293384] Re: Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04
Alan Lord : The trouble with using metacity is has window previews. I also do not like its Alt Tab behaviour of highlighting window borders of the current window in alt tab list. That is the only reason why I am sticking with compiz. I don't think is anything else out there which has Window Previews in Alt Tab. Please let me know if you know otherwise. In my case, I face weird problems with Classic/Flashback which are : When there are lot of windows open, after reaching around 10 to 15 windows, the mouse movement becomes quite sluggish. It actually becomes so bad that I feel like going back to 11.04 A quiting of docky and then compiz --replace works for some minutes and mouse movement is ok, but then after a few minutes it happens again. I have checked both TOP and memory and nothing seems to be a bottleneck. Sometimes when the mouse movement sluggishness is on extreme side, doing a compiz --replace just blanks the screen forcing to use the reset key on the computer because, with the Nvidia Drivers, those CTRL F1 to CTRL F6 windows do not work. On a side note can someone guide how to get those shortcuts to terminals working with the nvidia driver ? If it was not the Alt Tab window previews, then I would have abandoned Ubuntu/Gnome Desktop completely and gone to XFCE. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293384 Title: Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1293384/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Compiz] [Bug 1158267] Re: Regression: Broken (click-through) window decoration on some maximized windows
Yeah dev ppas can be risky/trouble if a stable environment is desired, and specially because the version reported from them is compiz 0.9.11 i think in the dev ppa. Anyone who wants to play safe could take the manual compile way. I read somewhere in some forum that the version from the dev ppa has some issue with modal windows. In one of the VMs I tested this a couple of hours back, for some modal windows, dragging from the title var was sloopy. sometimes it would work, and some times it would need the left mouse clicked and held for a while on the title bar to be able to drag them.

Re: [Compiz] [Bug 1158267] Re: Regression: Broken (click-through) window decoration on some maximized windows
You can wait and see. I do not think there should be any problem. In any case, this repo has version which is claimed to have fixed this issue. I have a laptop too which has 12.04 and had used this kind of an experimental PPA and it is working well so far. Good Luck, BTW, check out the gala window manager, amazingly fast and lovely smooth animations.

[Compiz] [Bug 1158267] Re: Regression: Broken (click-through) window decoration on some maximized windows
Here are my findings. System Config : OS : 13.04 (Unity, gnome 3.6) Driver : Nvidia Latest Proprietary Themes : Ambiance These steps will reproduce the issue : 1) Install Fresh 13.04 2) Install gnone-classic (fallback) 3) Install CCMS 4) Enable Static Switcher 5) Install Unity Tweak Too 6) Set Window controls to right side instead of Left Side 7) Open any application in Maximized mode. If Applications open in non-maximized mode, then open the app, maximize it, close it and then reopen it. 8) Try to close the application using Window Control in Right side. You will notice that The application does not have focus at all, and if you try to close the app, it will simply close any maximized windows in its back. Basically, clicking the title bar actually shifts focus to the application behind it, instead of the the one in front. So far I have found 2 workarounds : 1) Get a lower version of Compiz source and compile and install. In some forums people have left instructions on how to do it. 2) Install one of Mediterranean Themes. Is you use one of these themes, the bug vanishes magically. Here is what I think : It is a Bug either in Compiz or the Ambiance Theme settings itself. Or some issues which get activated with the combination. So if someone can compare and diff between the themes Ambiance and Mediterranean, the issue or fix could be figured out. Also, please notice that when using the Ambiance theme, The Applications and Places text in the top panel are attached to each other and there is no gap between text of both. Whereas in Mediterranean they are separated which is how it should be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158267 Title: Regression: Broken (click-through) window decoration on some maximized windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1158267/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Compiz] [Bug 1158267] Re: Regression: Broken (click-through) window decoration on some maximized windows
Can someone please explain why the issue seems fixed by using the Mediterranean theme ? If it was a bug, then why it affects the Ambiance theme and not the Mediterranean Themes ? I would love to use the Ambiance theme but this bug is just not helping me. Forced to use the Mediterranean which is good, but the buttons really are too 3d compared to the elegance of the Ambiance theme -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158267 Title: Regression: Broken (click-through) window decoration on some maximized windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1158267/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
