Compiz and HH

[Primoz]

I tired to resolve this problem a couple a times before but I never succeed.
I have installed Compiz fusion and CCSM on HH and when I enable them i go from 4 desktops to 2
and the only way to get 4 desktops back is to disable compiz completely.
I just don't get it the whole point of cube should be that it really is an cube and not just an plane.
( I have Nvidia 6600)

Re: Compiz and HH

First, right-click on your desktop and select Configure Desktop > Multiple Desktops and set Number of Destops to 1
Second, in CCSM select General Options > Desktop Size and set Horizontal Virtual Size to 4 and Virtual Vertical Size to 1

Enjoy your cube! 8)

Re: Compiz and HH

Hey I've been trying to do this, but when I right click on my desktop and click configure desktop, I don't have any option for multiple desktops. Is the method for doing this different under hardy heron?

Re: Compiz and HH

When your right-click on your desktop and select Configure Desktop this is what you should be seeing:

Re: Compiz and HH

That is true if you are running kde 3.5 - however, if you are running kde4 you don't get that set of options. At least on my system - HH 8.04, kde4 & compiz - right click on the desktop only offers the ability to set the background image.

Right click on the pager -> configure desktop will show the option for setting the number of desktops from 1 to n.

Re: Compiz and HH

Yea I did that through pager and it doesn't work. I place it to one desktop, but when I extend the Horizontal Size to 4, it switches the number of desktops to 4 on the pager. When I use the unfold function, it just creates a flat unfolded cube. Any ideas?

Re: Compiz and HH

Nevermind...I got it to work...thanks for all your help guys. However, how do you get a desktop to be on top of the cube.

What is CCSM? I went to the Desktop Effects and installed compiz but still have no idea how to configure it. To me, it seems like the same display no matter what option I select.

Re: Compiz and HH

What is CCSM?

K Menu > Settings > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings

Re: Compiz and HH

Well I don't have a Settings menu item. Checked the KMenu editor and nothing was listed under it. Maybe I just don't have everything I need installed?

Re: Compiz and HH

First, are you running KDE 3.5.9 or KDE 4

Assuming KDE 3.5.9. Open Adept Manager and check that the following files are installed:

compiz
compiz-bcop
compiz-core
compiz-dev
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-fusion-plugins-main
compiz-gnome
compiz-kde
compiz-plugins
compizconfig-backend-gconf
compizconfig-backend-kconfig
compizconfig-settings-manager
desktop-effects-kde
emerald
libcompizconfig0
libdecorations0
libemeraldengine0
python-compizconfig

Install any in the list that are not installed.

Re: Compiz and HH

Thanks, I was missing compizconfig-settings-manager. Funny that didn't get installed from the Desktop effects applet.
