Notes for installing and using Beryl

Install and use Beryl-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. What is Beryl? I think anyone who has used Linux should know, and those who have used Vista should also know. Because too many people compare the Linux interface with Vista. I am not clear about the specific results. I have never used Vista, so I will not comment on it. However, when you return from Linux to XP, you will find that the original XP interface is surprisingly dull.

Next I will talk about the installation of 3D desktop Beryl in Linux:

1. Install the video card driver and support 3D hardware acceleration. My video card is integrated with nforce 6100. Download the latest driver from the nvidia Website: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg0.run.
To install the video card driver in character terminal mode, open the terminal input: init 3 End Window program.
Enter:./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg0.run to start to install the graphics card driver, all the way to the default.

2. Change the/etc/X11/xorg. conf configuration file.
Back up the original configuration file cp xorg. conf xorg. conf. bak, and add the Module section in xorg. conf.
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga"
EndSubSection
Add in Device segment
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Add at the end of the configuration file
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Restart the system.

3. Install Beryl.

Cd XML-Parser-2.34
Perl Makefile. PL
Make
Make install
After installing the XML-Parser-2.34, go to the beryl-core-0.2.1 folder again
Cd beryl-core-0.2.1
./Configure & make install
The installation is completed successfully.


5. Install beryl-plugins-0.2.1
Tar jxvf beryl-plugins-0.2.1.tar.bz2
Cd beryl-plugins-0.2.1
./Configure

The following error occurs:

Configure: Using PKG_CONFIG_PATH = NONE/lib/pkgconfig
Checking for pkg-config.../usr/bin/pkg-config

Checking for BERYL... configure: error: Package requirements (beryl) were not met:
No package 'beryl 'found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
Installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BERYL_CFLAGS
And BERYL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Solution:

First set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH path:
Export PKG_CONFIG_PATH =/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
Then:./configure & make install
The installation is completed successfully.

Tar jxvf emerald-0.2.1.tar.bz2
Cd emerald-0.2.1
./Configure

The following error occurs:
Configure: Using PKG_CONFIG_PATH = NONE/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

After the installation is complete, enter the Xwindow and enter beryl-manager in the terminal to start the beryl3D desktop effect.
However, the "beryl setting manager" cannot be opened. The following error is displayed when you click "beryl setting manager:
Traceback (most recent call last ):
File "/usr/local/bin/beryl-settings", line 22, in?
Import berylsettings
ImportError: No module named berylsettings

Solution:
Create a symbolic link and link the files in/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/to/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages. (Change Fedora7 to 2.4)
Ln-s/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/*/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages /)
After the above work is done, beryl's work is normal, and "beryl settings manager" can also be started normally.

14. Select "Desktop Management" as "Beryl" in the Beryl manager, and restart the interface manager to start the 3D desktop. For specific settings and usage, you can use Google. Here I will mainly talk about the installation method.

The above experiment is completed in Fedora7. The software package can be:

Download.
