Bug 373871

i have the problem

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided
above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful
in our diagnosis of this issue.

Reporter, could you still reproduce this issue with your distribution upgraded
to the latest versions of all relevant packages, please?

If yes, please, attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X
server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual
uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.

Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and
let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug
/var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

With these versions of the relevant packages the Themes button still does nothing:

compiz-gnome-0.6.2-3.fc8
compiz-0.6.2-3.fc8
compiz-fusion-extras-0.6.0-1.fc8
gnome-compiz-manager-0.10.4-3.fc8
compiz-fusion-extras-gnome-0.6.0-1.fc8
libcompizconfig-0.6.0-3.fc8
compiz-fusion-0.6.0-12.fc8

So yes the problem is still present.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

I am seeing this same issue in Fedora 10. I will attach the previously requested files for review.

Please re-open this bug.  I am seeing this in F10 x86_64 also when trying to run the Compiz manager app.

Xorg Log File

This is on F10, x86_64, with all packages up-to-date (via yum)

I am attaching the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.  Looking in the /etc/X11 directory, I don't see any xorg.conf file, so I am assuming that this means X11 is auto-detecting everything.

compiz packages:

compiz-0.7.8-7.fc10.x86_64
compizconfig-backend-gconf-0.7.8-1.fc10.x86_64
compiz-fusion-0.7.8-4.fc10.x86_64
compiz-gnome-0.7.8-7.fc10.x86_64
gnome-compiz-manager-0.10.4-4.fc10.x86_64
compiz-fusion-extras-gnome-0.7.8-3.fc10.x86_64
libcompizconfig-0.7.8-1.fc10.x86_64
compiz-manager-0.6.0-8.fc10.noarch
compizconfig-python-0.7.8-1.fc10.x86_64
compiz-fusion-gnome-0.7.8-4.fc10.x86_64
compiz-fusion-extras-0.7.8-3.fc10.x86_64

Hi, same problem here with F10 x86_64, same compiz packages as in previous comment.
Running "strace gnome-compiz-preferences" I can see gnome-compiz-manager looking for compiz plugins in /usr/lib/compiz while they are installed in /usr/lib64/compiz

access("/usr/lib/compiz/libgconf.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/compiz/libdecoration.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/compiz/libcore.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/compiz/libwinrules.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/compiz/libglib.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
...

gnome-compiz-preferences shouldn't really be used any more should it? Wouldn't CompizConfig Settings Manage be used. Unfortunately both don't seem to work on either of my F10 or F11RC installs. CCSM gives much more control.

Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command

yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing'

Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
