<NEWS>
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Because of changes in the versioning scheme for relatively-stable, apt will not see the new version as an upgrade. So users will need to remove the beryl packages then reinstall to get the new version.
Please see the news section here for full details: http://shame.tuxfamily.org/repo/
From 3rd/4th February I have made some changes to the repos as part of my ongoing bid to keep improving everything.
relatively-stable: This will now be based on the beryl-project branch releases
This is to make the repo more settled and stable and avoid the constant changes and updates that have been happening recently. The versioning has also changed to fit in with the beryl-project versioning scheme.
I will still be adding all the unofficial plugins and extras.
unstable-daily: This will continue as normal with no changes.
amd64: The standalone amd64 repo has been dropped and 64-bit users can now use either the relatively-stable or unstable-daily sources, giving them the same choice as 32-bit users.
Updates and package lists etc now posted at the repository of shame
You can also report any problems with the packages or repos there.
There are 2 seperate repos, which can be used by both 32-bit and 64-bit users.
1. unstable-daily: which, as the name suggests, will be updated with the very latest beryl svn on a daily basis. It should only be considered by those who are prepared for problems and breakages. This will hitting the repo pretty much untested other than to confirm it actually starts up.
WARNING! Beryl-svn is constantly changing and evolving and can break at any time. If you have never used beryl before or don't want the hassle of things suddenly not working PLEASE use the relatively-stable repo.
2. relatively-stable: which will be updated roughly once a week and will only contain beryl svn versions that have run on my comp without problems.
This repo is for those who want up to date beryl with a little more stability or who simply don't want to be upgrading stuff every day.
WARNING! Note I use the name "relatively stable", beryl svn is still cutting edge stuff and though the packages in this repo may have worked well on my system, it doesn't necessarily mean they will on yours.
Whichever repo you choose I cannot guarantee it will work perfectly, although I will do everything in my power to sort out any problems as soon as possible.
PLEASE BACKUP YOUR SETTINGS REGULARLY!
NOTE: These repos are meant to be used seperately, NOT together.
unstable-daily
Code:
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/myberyl/shame/debian-sid/beryl-svn/unstable-daily/ ./
relatively-stable
Code:
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/myberyl/shame/debian-sid/beryl-svn/relatively-stable/ ./
All repos are gpg signed and you can get the key by typing the following command in a terminal as root:
Code:
wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/myberyl/shame/A42A6CF5.gpg -O- | apt-key add -
You can install the basic beryl base packages with:
Code:
apt-get install beryl
Or you can install the base packages plus the unofficial plugins (beryl-plugins-shame and beryl-plugins-extra) with:
Code:
apt-get install beryl-plugins-shame
Or if you want to install everything in the repo you can use:
Code:
apt-get install beryl-shame
If beryl-shame is installed you can use it to upgrade everything in the repo with this command, which will completely remove all packages then install the new versions. This is to avoid problems with changes in dependencies when packages are added/changed/removed:
Code:
beryl-shame upgrade
beryl-shame can also be used to completely and easily remove all packages in the repo with this command:
Code:
beryl-shame remove

Many, many thanks to the sidux community who have given me the ecouragement and inspiration to do this.
If anyone wants anything beryl related added to the repos I'll do my best to accomodate as long as it works and is reasonably stable.
If you wish to report any bugs with beryl please go here - http://bugs.beryl-project.org/
If you suspect the problem is with my packages themselves please report it HERE
<NOTICE>
I have nothing to do with with the development of any apps here, I have just packaged them to enable as many people as possible to experience the joy and wonder that is beryl (not that I'm obsessed or anything).
If you decide to use beryl from another source please uninstall any beryl and beryl-plugin packages you installed from here first to avoid any conflicts.
Please remember these packages are in development and may be unstable or buggy or may not work at all on your particular system but if you have problems I'll try my best to find an answer.  |

Would you please be kind enough to write a how-to on how you made the debs -- and how you made the *.avi video?
(I haven't tried your debs yet, but will tonight. Still using Armando's from his Prometeus remaster.) |

shame, master of beryl!
What does the taskbar differently? I installed it but do not experience any difference.

happy with two perfectly running sidux-nvidia-beryl-boxes. |

Making the debs is a fairly long process. There are a couple of scripts flying around but I can't get them to work, I'm working on my own script at the moment but progress is slow, I'm not good with scripts.
I followed the instructions here - http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php ... n#Building
For anything that doesn't have any distro specific files (such as vidcap, seom and taskbar-compiz) I do "make" and then "checkinstall".
I'd never packaged anything before this so I'm still learning.
The video was made using beryl's capture (vidcap) plugin:
Start vidcap using whatever key combo you set, play about with beryl a bit then do the key combo again to stop it.
This creates a file in /tmp (unless you change the location in the plugin settings) called beryl-capture.seom which you have to convert.
This is the command I use to convert the file -
Code:
seom-filter /tmp/beryl-capture.seom | **multimedia** - -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1200 -o /path/to/video/capture.avi
I'm sure there must be an easier way but I haven't really looked into it much yet.
With kde's standard taskbar you can only have it set to show apps from all workspaces when running beryl.
taskbar-compiz is a taskbar replacement applet for kicker that enables you to have applications from the current viewpoint only showing in the taskbar.
There is a beryl forums thread about it here - http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewtopi ... ht=taskbar
Some things to note -
1: Shutdown beryl then uncheck the "show all windows" option in taskbar settings.
2: If you have the regular taskbar or Taskbarv2/Mtaskbar remove them from kicker first.
3: Restart beryl and right-click kicker > add applet to panel and select taskbar-compiz.
I now have the new xglsnow plugin working on my comp but it installs to the home directory so I'm trying to work out how to get it to install in /usr/lib/beryl so I can do checkinstall on that. |

Yes!
Thank you so much, just did not think to look at the "add applet to panel" option. Stupid me.

Well I made an xglsnow deb which installs it to /usr/lib/beryl but the snow texture still won't work unless the snowflake image is in the home directory, even though it says in the beryl settings file that the image is in /usr/lib/beryl. Ho-hum.
If anyone is really interested in the snow plugin it's discussed here - http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewtopic.php?t=398 |

I don't think Iwill ever tire of that 3D world 
@ zulu9
Would you care to post your kde color scheme? It goes well with current sidux wallpaper. I also like the matching colours in the emerald theme but I can't use it since I have my close button on the left and vista buttons don't work well that way. I'll have to adapt the colours to another theme. |

<< Tip Of The Day >>
Getting bored of the cube yet?
How about something more triangular?
Or hexagonular (or something?)

@ senfi
I've added my configuration as an attachment. Probably best not to overwrite your own because it will my use the key/mouse combos I use so you can have a look and compare it to yours if there's something you want.
My wallpaper is here - http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5152/debian1wu8.jpg
It's nothing special, just an old mac wallpaper with a debian logo glued on.
For anyone using the capture (vicap) plugin to make videos:
If you use the following settings the it will make the vid and automatically convert it to an .avi but if it's a long clip it may take a while for the .avi to appear, try it out with a very short clip first. Just change the paths to suit yourself.
Code:
Beryl Settings > Capture > Strings >
Output:
file:///tmp/beryl-capture.seom
Command:
seom-filter /tmp/beryl-capture.seom | **multimedia** - -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1200 -o /tmp/capture.avi

Maybe this would be the perfect partner for taskbar-compiz:
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=46021
Quote:
Description:
This is a modified pager applet for kicker to make it work with
compiz.
But I don't know how buggy it is, but it looks the kind I really would love.
Have to learn, how to make .debs then

PS: The pic is from the quoted site, I suppose it's under CC and I can post it here. |
