Hardy Graphical Bug

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately I don't know in what program the bug appears, so I can't confirm the bug yet. Please add the information here, so I can confirm it and then people can work on it.

This bug occurs in compiz-fusion, or is connected to the ccsm compizfusion-settings-manager packages.

I don't have compiz installed, so someone who uses it has to confirm it.

Compiz is pre-installed with Hardy, as well as with gutsy. To enable the fire plugin:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Then go to preferences and click advanced desktop settings, like the second choice down.

Go find the fire plugin and enable it. As well as desktop cube and rotation. When you rotate the cube you will see the bug ive been talking about.

Thanks.

Well, it's a bit tricky. I'm using the fglrx ati driver, and that combined with xserver-xgl breaks gnome-settings-daemon. Anyway I installed xgl but couldn't even use the desktop cube (the rotation works, but with no cube) and also didn't see any fire.

So unfortunately I can't even try to confirm your bug as long as my compiz doesn't run correctly...

Ah i remember those danged ati drivers...and xgl. I will see if i can figure out a fix myself and let you know. Thanks for your help.

Yeah, I finally managed to run compiz (with AIGLX). I didn't even know how cool that is ;-)

But actually, I can't see your bug. Can you write here the exact settings of Desktop Cube and Fire Plugin (especially where you set what opacity), so I can try again.

Sorry for taking up so much of your time on this.. but my settings are a clean install of hardy, installed restricted nvidia driver, then i "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" then in general settings, set desktop horizontal size to four. Then go to rotate cube settings. In there set the zoom slider to something to the right of its default position. Then in the main page check desktop cube as well as rotate cube. Then check the fire plugin. Then press "shift + super" and left click and drag to draw up some flame. Then leaving the fire up, "ctrl + alt" and left click and drag to rotate the cube...then you should see a transparent rectangle that is the size of the zoomed cube desktop. ill get you a pic later if that helps.

Im working out vista sp1 bugs right now unfortunately, so not being in ubuntu doesn't help much.

Hope that works for you.

later.

Don't worry about the time.

Here, everything works perfectly now. Maybe it's related to nvidia. If you could post a screenshot (hmm, not easy...) it would be good.

Checked the repository and found out that it's actually in compiz-plugins (cube and rotate), and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra (fire).

I have no idea why that let you put in compiz-plugins, that's a binary package. The source package for it is compiz.

Sorry, I didn't check that. But why is it even possible to file bugs against binary-only packages? There are other bugs filed against compiz-plugins, too.

Ah, because compiz-plugins existed as a source package for compiz-quinn (what became beryl).

I cannot reproduce this with Jaunty. Does this still occur for you with Intrepid or Jaunty?
