I rebuilt compiz yesterday after the protobuf update, and the build went without any problems.

lectrode commented on 2021-03-15 20:23 (UTC)

Still investigating, but currently I cannot compile this or compiz-git for the protobuf update. Getting this repeating error during the build:

Package >= was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `>=.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package '>=', required by 'glib-2.0', not found
Package '3.38.0', required by 'glib-2.0', not found

On first glance it seems like a build dependency update introduced a bug, as it's reading '>=' as a package name)

So far I've tried * downgrading cmake to 3.18.4 * downgrading cython to 0.29.21

Anyone else running into this issue?

Tnx. I'll try workarounds next. I noticed enabling 'Animations Plus' was causing compiz to crash completely at random times. Then I disabled all animations and I haven't had any issues so far.

edit; keep having issues. I have the workarounds enabled now. I was also having issues with the screenshot plugin (very important to me) in that the shots were now faded. Workaround was to disable the selection indicator. Not acceptable.

edit; turns out to be the kernel!! see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263401

Have you tried this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz#Video_tearing

Otherwise I'm not too sure.

I ran into rendering issues, switched back from compiz-git but didn't resolve it. I'm running Plasma now with all desktop effects on and no issues so it's got something to do with compiz. First noticed it with playing DRM video. Then gtk apps started just missing parts, and fullscreen video with mpv suddenly would flicker badly. After reboot everything fine again for some time. Any ideas where to start?

I'm good again! Tnx @ lectrode; learned something there. Rebuilding packages shown by that pacman command didn't work. I tried the command for 3.9 instead of 3.8 which gave me a huge list. Then proceeded to install rebuild-detector. It took hours and hours to rebuild everything that needed to rebuild and while I was at it installed compiz-git. I'm not sure if that fixed the issue for me or switching to compiz-git. I'll stay with compiz-git for now.

@Autodidaddy @wm8120 You can list packages that need to be rebuilt after python update with:

pacman -Qqo "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages"

There is also a rebuild-detector in the AUR that may help you out further.

If so, try building compiz-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-git/

I don't think it's nonsense @robson. I updated my system and ccsm won't start:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 98, in <module>
import compizconfig
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'compizconfig'

Rebuilding compiz didn't fix it. Did you fix the issue @wm8120?

robson commented on 2020-12-04 00:15 (UTC)

@wm8120 What nonsense are you talking. I just finished building a compiz, and it is building properly. Update your system before building anything.
