Как включить и настроить compiz в Linux Mint 18.1

Если вы скачали Linux Mint 18.1 с графической оболочкой MATE то можете увидеть что Compiz установлен и в Control Center вы найдете CompizConfig Settings Manager (Менеджер настройки CompizConfig). Но поиграв с настройками вы обнаружите что эффекты Compiz не работают.

У кого не установлен Compiz выполняем команды в терминале

sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-plugins compizconfig-settings-manager

Далее установим Редактор конфигурации системы и поменяем оконный менеджер

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Откройте редактор dconf Editor поочередно открывая вкладки org > mate > desktop > session > required-components в имени windowmanager замените marco на compiz

Настраиваем автоматический запуск Compiz при входе в систему. Открываем Control Center > Startup Applications. В поле Name пишем Compiz а в Command команду compiz —replace

Open a terminal and type the following command:

killall -9 marco

Then press the enter key. This will allow your cpu utilization to drop down quite a bit.

Sure,it was turned off indeed thank you very much for the heads up.

But,in the meantime I’ve discovered that Compiz doesn’t stick not even if it’s specified as the default window manager with Configuration Editor,meaning I still have to call it with

Unless I’m misunderstanding your post, I think I know what is wrong. Running «compiz —replace» in the terminal does not actually hang. The problem is that you should be running «compiz —replace &» to make the new process independent from the terminal. Without that the process continues to run in the terminal and will terminate when you close the terminal.

But if you want to run compiz at startup, you should just put «compiz —replace» in your startup applications. Changing the window manager setting to compiz in the mateconf-editor does not actually start compiz (don’t ask me why) — it just makes sure that marco window manager doesn’t start as well (marco doesn’t play well with compiz).

For better results do the following:

1- Install «compizconfig-settings-manager» and «compiz-fusion-plugins-extra»

2- In terminal run «compiz —replace»

3- Go to Startup Applications click on add and in the name field write «compiz» and in the command field enter «compiz —replace»(without the punctuation) click on Add again then Close. This is to make compiz start automatically on next logins.

4- To stop that high CPU usage run in terminal “mateconf-editor”. When the editor opens go to /desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager and replace «marco» with «compiz».

5- To change window decorations install gconf-editor then run it (In terminal run «gconf-editor»). Navigate to /apps/metacity/general/theme and set the value to your Metacity theme name. Mint’s default is Mint-X.

Как установить Compiz в Linux MInt 15 MATE

Для установки оконного менеджера Compiz в рабочее окружение MATE Linux Mint 15 необходимо прежде всего установить пакет Compiz и Менеджер настройки CompizConfig, а также compiz-plugins-extra, если вы захотите в дальнейшем задействовать дополнительные эффекты.
Все эти пакеты есть по умолчанию в Менеджере программ, откуда их можно установить или выполните следующую команду в терминале, которая сделает установку перечисленных пакетов:

apt install compiz compiz-plugins-extra compiz compizconfig-settings-manager

По окончании установки откройте Менеджер настройки CompizConfig: Меню ->Параметры ->Менеджер настройки CompizConfig, где нужно активировать необходимые плагины для корректной работы оконного менеджера, как отмечено на снимках:

Далее необходимо заменить оконный менеджер Marco, который установлен в окружении MATE по умолчанию на Compiz. Для этого нужно установить (если ещё не установлен) Редактор конфигурации системы — dconf-tools, который также имеется по умолчанию в Менеджере программ или выполните команду в терминале:

apt install dconf-tools

Откройте Редактор dconf и прейдите по следующему адресу: org/mate/desktop/session/required-components и в имени windowmanager измените значение с marco на compiz, как показано на снимке:

Или выполните команду в терминале, которая делает то же самое, только быстрее:

gsettings set org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager compiz

Следующим шагом будет запуск Compiz. Откройте окно Выпонить команду Alt+F2, введите и выполните команду:

Чтобы Compiz запускался при входе в систему, данную команду необходимо ввести в Автоматически запускаемые приложения: Меню ->Центр управления ->Запускаемые приложения. В открывшемся окне нажмите кнопку Добавить, в поле Имя введите Compiz, а в поле Команда — compiz —replace:

Чтобы полностью завершить установку Compiz и задействовать его работу, необходимо перезагрузить систему.
Закройте все приложения и выполните команду в терминале:

После очередного входа в систему, вы можете задействовать эффекты Compiz, такие как Куб рабочего стола, Вязкие окна и многие другие. Инструкции по их настройке вы можете посмотреть во вкладке сайта под названием Compiz.

Linux mint with compiz

Thx for the nice tutorial!!

Just successfully made compiz the default window manager again. For my installation (Mint 13 MATE) it is even sufficient to make compiz the default window manager in the MATE conf editor- I didnt even have to add compiz to the startup applications!

BTW: Does anyone know why compiz has been replaced with marco as the default window manager?

Got it all solved.

For those missing title bars, etc. go to ccsm, click ‘Preferences’ towards the bottom, and check ‘Backend’ to see if it is pulling its config from Flat File (mine was, and apparently, that is default.. why? I dunno. )

Change this setting to ‘GSettings Configuration Backend’, which will integrate it to the desktop.

Now on the main screen of ccsm, enable ‘Window Decoration’, ‘Move Window’, ‘Resize Window’, etc.

On compiz —replace, you should have a fully functioning desktop again.

Still looking for the extra effects, if anyone knows how to get them. specifically ‘Cube Deformation and Reflection’.

OK. followed the directions, including activating ‘Window Manager’ under ccsm, AND installing fusion to handle window management.

So far, there is no window management functioning on the system under Compiz. This includes the top bar (close, minimize, etc) as well as being able to drag or resize windows..

Using a fresh install of Mint 14 with Mate (as of like 5 minutes ago + time messing with it), the ccsm that shows up in repo (0.9.8.5), no clue on the fusion version.

Additionally, I cannot seem to find several options that I used to use. specifically Cube Deformation and Reflection, and several other effects plugins. They do not seem to appear at all on SoftWare sources? Am I missing a PPA?

Biggest concern is the Windows Management. without it, I have to go back to Marco. the rest will follow in time.

Yes it works in Mint 14 also. No flickering when turning the cube. 🙂
But I can see another Compiz-problem has appeared on my computer (Acer Aspire One):
The cube gets distorted during the turning. It seems almost like wrinkles at the cube side, or something similar to that.
I can’t find any way to solve it either.. 🙁

Worked in Mate 14 too 🙂

@mpiter
Thanks for your working advice.But Gnome Configuration Editor (gconf-editor), is not installed by default.Must be install separately, and then can be found in System Tools.

I did everything like in this tutorial, but I got problem with compiz. It doesn’t save any options I check.
I am using amd radeon 7770 with additional drivers for it (latest). Could that be a problem?
Thanks

I am having some trouble getting compiz to work. I am new to mint just swiched from using ubuntu.
I followed the above tutorial and nothing happened and I know in ubuntu you sometimes have to log out and back in so I did and then had a flickering screen where I believe compiz and marco?(stock mint manager?) were both running at the same time. I opened a terminal typed compiz —replace and it stops the flickering but my efects do no take place either? I have an nvidia motherbord no graphics card using nvidia recomended drivers. I also followed jse654’s sujestions and they didn’t work unless I didn’t do it right?
pleas help as I am too used to my cube 🙂

Great tutorial. I used it several times for several computers or OS that I tried. I have already given the link to your tutorial in several forums to help people in difficulty with Compiz. Thanks a lot because I would not have thought about replacing marco by compiz in the mateconf-editor.

To change window decoration in Compiz, run the Gnome Configuration Editor. Do not use the Mate Configuration Editor if you run Mate because it will not work. You will find the Editors in the Linux Mint menu «System tools/Configuration Editor». Select the Editor with a grey icon, not the red icon.

In the editor, select «apps/metacity/general/theme» and put any theme value you like for the Window border. For example, I like bit buttons so I choose ClearlooksRE that many people will find ugly but I think it handy.

As you can see, you can build your window border with the variables contained in «apps/metacity/general». For example, I like to have the menu on the left, the Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons on the right. Furthermore, I like to have the Close button separated from the two others to avoid to accidentally kill a window when I want to maximize it. So I set the «button_layout» variable to «menu:minimize,maximize,spacer,close» without the quotes. Good luck.

A Compiz version without the flickering bug has been provided in a PPA. Unfortunately, a newer Compiz version with the bug back has recently been placed in the Ubuntu software tree. As a consequence, any system update will select the new Compiz version instead of the PPA one. So the solution to get rid of the flickering bug is to add the PPA to the software sources, to force the PPA Compiz version installation, and to block any Compiz update. With the Compiz update blocked, it becomes the user task to manually check when a new Compiz version will be available. Keep the 23th of August in mind, something may come out that day or soon after.

The solution I am going to summarize comes from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/862430.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vanvugt/compiz-preproposed
sudo aptitude update
apt-cache show compiz | grep Version: | awk ‘< print $2 >‘ # to identify
# the name of the preproposed version if you have doubts
sudo aptitude install compiz=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-core=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-gnome=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-plugins=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-plugins=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-plugins-default=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 libdecoration0=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2
compiz —replace

To block Compiz updates, go into your update manager, right-click each Compiz package, and ask to block the package update. This will update the /etc/linuxmint/mintupdate.ignored file.

If you have an Nvidia card, more bugs will be triggered by the fix, but on my laptop with an Nvidia Quadro FX 1800M, Compiz is pleasant again. I am happier with the PPA version.

The flickering and the rotate with window bugs (SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+[left/right]arrow) are known, fixed, and committed. The fix has not been included in the last Compiz releases because it triggered new bugs. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/862430 for the bug description and https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bugs?field.tag=compiz-r3110-regression for the list of bugs triggered by the fix. The Compiz team decided that too many bugs were generated by the fix to distribute it. Since most of those bugs have already been fixed, they plan to distribute the correction in Compiz 0.9.8 with Ubuntu 12.10. If we are very lucky, the fix might be included in Compiz 0.9.7.10 planned for the 23th of August, but I am not sure whether it will be done before Ubuntu 12.10. The fix is however available in a PPA. I will explain how to install it in another post.

Great tutorial,but I stuck with ‘AgingGorilla’ window boarder. Changes simply not apply. Any solution?

Great:-) I just followed this tutorial and compiz is working flawlessly

Recently it was an Compiz update which I expected much from. However I have to report it didn’t solve the flickering problem at all. 🙁

Great Tutorial. could not have done it without this!
However.
One problem I’m having is that when fade back using expo, the movement of windows from one desktop to another is incredibly glitchy, they may move or not, and sometimes wholes windows disappear. The same is true when I try to move with ctrl-alt-arrow on the desktop wall. Somtimes it works, mostly it is glitchy and the window remains on the previous desktop. With some trial and error I have determined that this can be fixed if the Place Windows is disabled in Compiz. this is a rather unfortunate workaround though, as windows now are placed behind the panel. Any help or suggestions?
Thanks so much!

Hi tux-sven and thank you for a great post (with the help of jse654, and kazztan0325 idea about the icon), it basically works. Since I’m new to Mint, I kind of do not understand why «Gnome Compatibility» does nothing about ALT-F1 and ALT-F2 shortcuts — they still do not work under Compiz.

Another quite annoying thing is about window borders — they do present, but turn in to something not too pleasant to look at.
Do you know any workarounds?

PS After changing window manager to Compiz, I had manually to add ALT-CTRL-T shortcut in order to start Terminal, althought it’s already there in Marco.

PPS It’s fun to set under Desktop Cube — Transparent Cube — Opacity During Rotation to let’s say 50,000.

Install Compiz Fusion Icon and try to manage Window Decorations from there.
