[Compiz] [Bug 729979] Re: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white

[Andi Hafner]

Hi there...

Finally I got a solution: I installed emerald-0.9.5 from source this
morning and the blank white windows are gone, focus-animation "dodge" is
working fine, awesome!

The further hard- & software-configuration is like described in my post
#152 as "Configuration #3".

To compile emerald-0.9.5 for ubuntu 12.04.1 I followed the description
at "http://handytutorial.com/install-emerald-in-ubuntu-12-04-12-10/";.

The first attempt failed with make complaining missing dependencies. I
found the fix at
"https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emerald/+bug/968112"; in post
#7, there is a further environment-variable to set before: 'export
"LIBS=-ldl -lm"'. Great thanks to user "MC Return"!

After that, the package built successfully (I used "checkinstall"
instead of "make install" to get a installable package).

I'm very happy to have emerald back in 12.04 and that the blank white
windows are gone ;-) Thank you all out there for your great work and
wish you a nice weekend...

[Compiz] [Bug 729979] Re: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white

[Andi Hafner]

Hi everyone.

Just another report of which configurations are working and which don't.
But with these results, it seems for me to be an nvidia-driver issue, as
the last two setups mainly differ in the OpenGL-driver (except in the
cpu-architecture).

-

Configuration #1:

Focus-Animation-Effect "Dodge" IS WORKING GREAT for me with the
following setup:

OS-Version: Ubuntu 12.10
Kernel-Version: Linux 3.5.0-22-generic (i686)
(Virtual)Machine:   VirtualBox 4.2.6 r82870
Desktop-Environment:Mate 1.4.2
Display-Server: X.Org Version 1.13.0
OpenGL-Driver:  VMware Inc. Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe 2.1 Mesa 9.0 with 
direct rendering
Compiz-Version: 0.9.8.6

-

Configuration #2:

Focus-Animation-Effect "Dodge" IS ALSO WORKING GREAT for me with the
following setup:

OS-Version: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Kernel-Version: 3.2.0-36-generic (i686)
(Virtual)Machine:   VirtualBox 4.2.6 r82870
Desktop-Environment:Mate 1.4.2
Display-Server: X.Org Version 1.11.3
OpenGL-Driver:  Humper 2.1 Chromium 1.9 with direct rendering
Compiz-Version: 0.9.7.12

-

Configuration #3:

Focus-Animation-Effect "Dodge" DOESN'T WORK for me (producing white
windows) with the following setup:

OS-Version: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Kernel-Version: 3.2.0-36-generic (x86_64)
Machine:ASUS-Rampage III with Intel Core i7-930 with NVIDIA 
GeForce GTX 260
Desktop-Environment:Mate 1.4.2
Display-Server: X.Org Version 1.11.3
OpenGL-Driver:  NVIDIA 304.64 with direct rendering
Compiz-Version: 0.9.7.12

All other Compositing-Effects I've activated, and there are a lot of
them ;-), are working great with both configurations, except the "Focus
Animations".

-

I've noticed, that the OpenGL-Driver in configuration #2 is running much
fluently than that one of configuration #1 but both are working at
least, in opposite of the nvidia-driver in configuration #3.

I wasn't looking for further, but are there any recent setups with the
nvidia-driver which are working with the focus-animation-effects out
there?

Any further ideas? This bug is really nagging me, although dodging
windows are a gadget, but it's a nice one ;-)
