On Hardy Alpha 1 with compiz 1:0.6.99+git20071205-0ubuntu4 installed I still experience this problem. With normal effects everything is (mostly) fine. With Extra effects the borders/titlebar are gone. It is a new install, no additional drivers. Intel X3100 chipset.

Nope, don't have anything more that I can add. Maybe try reinstalling Beryl.

I've just upgraded to Feisty beta and I'm having the same problem. I've checked the plugin list in gconf and decorator is there, but I haven't got any windows decoration when I switch on the GL desktop. I've tried both "gtk-window-decorator --replace --sync" which worked in Edgy and "compiz --replace" but it's not working.

[Bug 80778] Re: compiz does not show window boards or the cube
Beryl is lotsa faster here too. Less quircks too. But the thing is, Compiz tries to keep maintainable code. Beryl is a fork of Compiz with all kinds of make-it-work-now type of hacks. So, in the long run, Compiz will be the better one. Beryl works better now and will for some time. I think the Ubuntu dev's like Compiz better because of its gnome-integration. Beryl pretty much makes lots of the normal prefence system's obsolete, such as key-bindings. I do hope the projects merge one day. Perhaps into two seperate branches: one that is the long term development branch, and one containing most of the 'hacks' that work around the real bugs that will take longer to fix, or need to be fixed in the drivers instead of in the window manager. (Since a lot of the bugs _are_ either driver bugs or badly written software that doesn't follow standard protocols). Secondly, it will take quite some time before XGL will play nice with all the opengl apps and games out there. Unfortunately, some vendors are refusing to release AIGLX compatible drivers (such as Ati). -- compiz does not show window boards or the cube https://launchpad.net/bugs/80778 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For the decorators try putting this in your Screen section in xorg.conf: Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true" For the missing windows this happens when you run out of texture memory (driver bug) or when you start compiz with a minimized window (compiz bug). The cube thing is a separate bug, already filed. As for the speed, compiz screams on my GeForce Go 7400.

[Bug 80778] Re: compiz does not show window boards or the cube
I am using the nvidia-glx driver from the feisty repos. Compiz seems to working very, very bad. decorator-plugin was in the list, but window borders work only partially. Sometimes they are all gone, sometimes I just see a part of them (left and right). Sometimes I can't see windows. They are in the panel, but I am not able to open it. The cube doesn't work with the default settings. You have to change two gconf-settings: /apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/hsize:4 /apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/number_of_desktops: 1 I believe in the default settings, it's vice versa. Compiz seems to work very sluggish at the moment, at least for nvidia- users. If compiz works that bad for a lot of users, I think it's better not to include it. I only hear from Intel-users, that compiz works flawlessly.

With the latest updates it started to work. I'm not sure which update it was (Xorg 7.2 or something else), but now I can get it back to work. I had to add 'decoration' back to the plugin list in gconf, it seemed the failed attempts in the past had removed it. I also had to kill (restart) my gnome-panel before my menu started to work again. And the cube required my to change some gconf settings as well before it worked. I hadn't touched any of them yet. But my gconf-settings, since they are user-based do not get updated by apt/synaptic/update-manager right? So it might be that the cube thingie would work with a fresh install.

[Bug 80778] Re: compiz does not show window boards or the cube
Logging-out and back-in doesn't help. Restarting doesn't help. Since it doesn't occur with everyone (like Sebastian) I suspect it has to do with the order and speed of programs initiating. Perhaps Compiz has to be fully loaded before gtk-window-decorator is loaded. Perhaps it justs crashes in the proccess.. Just to compare. I installed beryl now, and that does work.

Fixed. If removed the compiz folder from ~/.gconf/apps/ and now I can see the boards. However, I can't see the cube, though I have it activated in the desktop-effects window, and it's in the gconf.

And in the gconf, if I open a key, for example the active-plugins in compiz, I can't move up/down, select a valor (cube...).
