[Bug 675307] Re: compiz can't load plugins and won't run in VirtualBox

2013-06-02 Thread Flames_in_Paradise
virtualbox-ose does due to a change in License with does continue to
exit a virtualbox. Therefore marked a invalid as the reference is not
given any longer with regards to the packege the bug was reported
against.

In addition Natty is EOL.

Took the freedom to mark this accordingly.

Ubuntu reports the VirtualBox "drivers" as enabled on my Natty

get Compiz running with effects.

Make sure that you have dkms installed when recompiling the vbox
kernel module, it's a requirement for 3D acceleration now

still shouldn't Compiz just back out and put the desktop back onto

As your benchmark (and the output of glxinfo) makes clear, you do not
have hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering. On an actual desktop trying
to run with software rendering gets you less than one frame per second
in compiz, running in a VM will be even slower.

Yes, go into CCSM and disable the composite and opengl plugins.

The transition won't be pretty though, and the gtk-window-decorator in
2D mode is only sort of part way there, so you might have to restart
it in order to make it work correctly

if software acceleration with OpenGL is such a no-go, shouldn't Compiz
just tell me it can't be done, and then either switch to this 2D mode,

2010-11-26 Thread Travis Watkins
The real bug in compiz is that it doesn't immediately stop trying to
load when we detect software rendering. Sure, 0.9 has a "2D mode" but
it's hardly usable and I would have thought the patch that detects
software rendering would still do this.

There is, however, an issue with virtualbox here as well because you
should not be getting software rendering and did not in 10.04, compiz
had this same check there.

[Bug 675307] Re: compiz can't load plugins and won't run in VirtualBox

2010-11-26 Thread Paul Sladen
Yougo: Unity (via Compiz) is rendering the interface in the same way
that a 3D video game work: people measure games in the number of Frames
Per Second (FPS) displayed.  For each new frame the interface gets wiped
and is redrawn from scratch, when this is done enough times per second
it appears smooth.

With OpenGL hardware GPU rendering it's possible to manage 60+ FPS per
second.  This is more complete FPS than the eyes can see, so the game,
or Unity interface looks super-smooth.  With OpenGL software rendering
it is only possible to get 1-2 FPS which makes the interface jerky,
unresponsive and uses up lots of battery and CPU.  Without efficient and
fast hardware OpenGL support it is better to swtich back to traditional
2D rendering (the GNOME Panel) which uses a different mechanism for
drawing to the screen, where only what has moved is updated, not the
whole screen.  Doing software 2D rendering means that many of the
effects that people have become used to are not possible.

[Bug 675307] Re: compiz can't load plugins and won't run in VirtualBox

2010-11-26 Thread Yougo
regarding "b) VirtualBox's Guest Additions - e.g. the drivers that
provide 3D acceleration aren't working in Natty."

VBoxGuestAddiions does seem to be working. i have mouse integration,
shared folders, auto resize desktop, and it shows up as installed and
running in the extra drivers list.

haven't tried seamless mode, but it seems VBoxGuestAdditions is doing its job 
like it should.
AFAICT it's also the same version as the one i used with my 10.10 client, and 
compiz was running fine back then.

2010-11-25 Thread Greg Auger
This is certainly a regression since Maverick, I guess the question is whether 
the problem is with one of
a) Compiz - e.g. a regression in 0.9 that means it no longer supports 
VirtualBox hardware acceleration
b) VirtualBox's Guest Additions - e.g. the drivers that provide 3D acceleration 
aren't working in Natty.

** Summary changed:

- compiz can't load plugins and won't run
+ compiz can't load plugins and won't run in VirtualBox

** Also affects: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
   Status: New
