Post by Mathias Gumzhi,
Post by Rainer M KrugI just found the Nightly builds ppa, and there is a package
called fluxbox-fbcompose - is this a working compositor for
fluxbox?
fluxbox participated in gsoc2011 (see http://fluxbox.org/news/ ).
* luafication of the config-files
(http://git.fluxbox.org/fluxbox_pavel.git/ ) * compositor
(http://git.fluxbox.org/fluxbox_gediminas.git/)
the infamous paul tagliamonte with his 733t uber-ubuntu-skillz
* fluxbox.git (HEAD, aka "the nightly") * one for the luafication *
one for the compositor
Thanks for this clarification - this explains.
Post by Mathias GumzPost by Rainer M KrugAnd if so, can I install it without having to install anightly
build of fluxbox, as I do not want to risk crashes - or is it
usable on a production computer?
the compositor is designed to be a companion binary, for a variety
of reasons. one of them is to allow the users to test the stuff
without having to exchange their currently running fluxbox binary.
Sounds good.
Post by Mathias Gumzif you install the whole fbcompose ppa-package, you will actually
replace the currently installed version of fluxbox (except you put
that into a quite bizare place such as
/hidden/cave/for/dragons/fluxbox). if you do not want that but
Exactly
Post by Mathias Gumz# git clone git://http://git.fluxbox.org/fluxbox_gediminas.git
should be
# git clone git://git.fluxbox.org/fluxbox_gediminas.git
Post by Mathias Gumz# cd fluxbox_gediminas.git # ./autogen.sh # ./configure # make
and then launch the binary 'fbcompose' in 'utils/fbcompose/'.
Well - fluxbox flicers once and then I can do nothing except Ctrl-C to
kill fbcompose, and I get the following messages:

Post by Mathias Gumzif you have any problems with that piece of software: join us in
#fluxbox and talk directly to Gediminas (nick: CopyOfNewFolder).
Can I post this here, because I am not to familiar with irc and prefer
email.
