I don't want the diff - I don't actually want the loaded/active plugins (I can assume that it's not loaded) I'd need to see the entire KWin setup. However, I especially need to know where the be::clock plugin stems from (fedora package, 3rd party or self compiled. A pre-compiled version may just be of outdated KWin effects API and simply needs recompilation) And no: not dead - I would delete kde-look.org entries of finally abandoned stuff ;-)

Hi thomas12777, It's compiled from source, KWin Support Information output below. As already stated if I downgrade the listed packages and log back in again beclock starts working OK. KWin Support Information: The following information should be used when requesting support on e.g. http://forum.kde.org. It provides information about the currently running instance, which options are used, what OpenGL driver and which effects are running. Please post the information provided underneath this introductory text to a paste bin service like http://paste.kde.org instead of pasting into support threads. ========================== Version ======= KWin version: 4.10.5 KDE SC version (runtime): 4.10.5 KDE SC version (compile): 4.10.5 Qt Version: 4.8.5 Options ======= focusPolicy: 0 nextFocusPrefersMouse: false clickRaise: true autoRaise: false autoRaiseInterval: 0 delayFocusInterval: 0 shadeHover: false shadeHoverInterval: 250 separateScreenFocus: false activeMouseScreen: false placement: 4 focusPolicyIsReasonable: true borderSnapZone: 10 windowSnapZone: 10 centerSnapZone: 0 snapOnlyWhenOverlapping: false showDesktopIsMinimizeAll: false rollOverDesktops: true focusStealingPreventionLevel: 1 legacyFullscreenSupport: false operationTitlebarDblClick: commandActiveTitlebar1: 0 commandActiveTitlebar2: 30 commandActiveTitlebar3: 2 commandInactiveTitlebar1: 4 commandInactiveTitlebar2: 30 commandInactiveTitlebar3: 2 commandWindow1: 7 commandWindow2: 8 commandWindow3: 8 commandWindowWheel: 31 commandAll1: 10 commandAll2: 3 commandAll3: 14 keyCmdAllModKey: 16777251 showGeometryTip: false condensedTitle: false electricBorders: false electricBorderDelay: 150 electricBorderCooldown: 350 electricBorderPushbackPixels: 1 electricBorderMaximize: true electricBorderTiling: true electricBorderCornerRatio: 0.25 borderlessMaximizedWindows: false killPingTimeout: 5000 hideUtilityWindowsForInactive: true inactiveTabsSkipTaskbar: false autogroupSimilarWindows: false autogroupInForeground: true compositingMode: 1 useCompositing: true compositingInitialized: true hiddenPreviews: 1 unredirectFullscreen: false glSmoothScale: 1 glVSync: true colorCorrected: false xrenderSmoothScale: false maxFpsInterval: 17 refreshRate: 0 vBlankTime: 6144 glDirect: true glStrictBinding: true glStrictBindingFollowsDriver: true glLegacy: false Screens ======= Multi-Head: no Number of Screens: 2 Screen 0 Geometry: 0,0,1680x1050 Screen 1 Geometry: 1680,0,1680x1050 Compositing =========== Qt Graphics System: native Compositing is active Compositing Type: OpenGL OpenGL vendor string: nouveau OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on NV98 OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 9.2.5 Driver: Nouveau GPU class: G80/G90 OpenGL version: 3.0 Mesa version: 9.2.5 X server version: 1.15 Linux kernel version: 3.10 Direct rendering: yes Requires strict binding: yes GLSL shaders: yes Texture NPOT support: yes Virtual Machine: no OpenGL 2 Shaders are used Loaded Effects: --------------- kwin4_effect_zoom kwin4_effect_login kwin4_effect_slidingpopups kwin4_effect_translucency kwin4_effect_cubeslide kwin4_effect_screenshot kwin4_effect_desktopgrid kwin4_effect_maximize kwin4_effect_fade kwin4_effect_dialogparent kwin4_effect_highlightwindow kwin4_effect_taskbarthumbnail kwin4_effect_presentwindows kwin4_effect_blur kwin4_effect_logout kwin4_effect_dashboard kwin4_effect_beclock kwin4_effect_outline kwin4_effect_startupfeedback Currently Active Effects: ------------------------- kwin4_effect_blur kwin4_effect_startupfeedback Effect Settings: ---------------- kwin4_effect_zoom: zoomFactor: 1.2 mousePointer: 0 mouseTracking: 0 enableFocusTracking: false followFocus: true focusDelay: 350 moveFactor: 20 targetZoom: 1 kwin4_effect_login: fadeToBlack: false kwin4_effect_slidingpopups: fadeInTime: 250 fadeOutTime: 250 kwin4_effect_translucency: decoration: 1 moveResize: 0.8 dialogs: 1 inactive: 1 comboboxPopups: 1 menus: 1 individualMenuConfig: false dropDownMenus: 1 popupMenus: 1 tornOffMenus: 1 kwin4_effect_cubeslide: rotationDuration: 500 dontSlidePanels: true dontSlideStickyWindows: false usePagerLayout: true useWindowMoving: false kwin4_effect_screenshot: kwin4_effect_desktopgrid: zoomDuration: 300 border: 10 desktopNameAlignment: 0 layoutMode: 0 customLayoutRows: 2 usePresentWindows: true kwin4_effect_maximize: kwin4_effect_fade: kwin4_effect_dialogparent: changeTime: 300 kwin4_effect_highlightwindow: kwin4_effect_taskbarthumbnail: kwin4_effect_presentwindows: layoutMode: 0 showCaptions: true showIcons: true doNotCloseWindows: false ignoreMinimized: false accuracy: 20 fillGaps: true fadeDuration: 150 showPanel: false leftButtonWindow: 1 rightButtonWindow: 2 middleButtonWindow: 0 leftButtonDesktop: 2 middleButtonDesktop: 0 rightButtonDesktop: 0 dragToClose: false kwin4_effect_blur: blurRadius: 12 cacheTexture: true kwin4_effect_logout: useBlur: true kwin4_effect_dashboard: brightness: 0.5 saturation: 0.5 blur: false kwin4_effect_beclock: kwin4_effect_outline: kwin4_effect_startupfeedback:

Thanks. So it's loaded but not considered active. As be::clock doesn't reimplement Effect::isActive, this sugests fedora has reversed the default of that function downstream. -> update from https://sourceforge.net/p/bekwinfx/ (git fetch; git rebase origin/master) and recompile - commit 6a40196c0d45aa5bd6f391bb46e8b3a3dd116fb8 reimplements Effect::isActive() and should return true whenever required.

I can recompile that with the older kde packages and it works with the older packages (yum downgraded).

There's some issue with the kwin effect header. This call: no matching function for call to ‘KWin::EffectsHandler::unreserveElectricBorder(KWin::ElectricBorder&)’ effects->unreserveElectricBorder( border ); Is preproc'd #if KWIN_EFFECT_API_VERSION_MINOR < 220 Which was bumped in February 2013 with commit 8faf62d8b42a782ea0b2efe33ef3915342ac3903 Author: Martin Gräßlin Date: Thu Feb 7 11:43:40 2013 +0100 Increase KWIN_EFFECT_API_VERSION_MINOR ABI change in new screen edge implementation Unfortunately, the actual API change was in a different commit: commit 3358685a52be3c7cef1497b6f84b7d1af2f920d7 Author: Martin Gräßlin Date: Tue Jan 22 12:47:06 2013 +0100 Change the way how screen edges interact with Effects/Scripts Martin just forgot to bump the API tag. However, both where in git master before tagging 4.11 So it seems that Fedora has backported *some* commits and introduced a gap by that. => Either bump the version in /usr/include/kde4/kwineffects.h or in beclock.cpp, replace every occurrence of #if KWIN_EFFECT_API_VERSION_MINOR < 220 with #if 1 To compile for the correct API version.

I think something is still wrong, but it could be me It won't compile with the #if 1, I have to put in #if 0, then it compiles OK (and installs) but the clock doesn't display. I used git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/bekwinfx/code bekwinfx-code Then edited beclock.cpp If that was wrong then please let me know as I am not familiar with git. Thanks for the help, GZU

No, you're right - logic error on my side. "#if 0" is the correct substitution. Sorry for that. Did you restart KWin (in doubt login/logout) after the installation? What's the present "qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation" output? You *might* have to compile the 4.10 branch instead - this depends on what patches Fedora has backported :-\ Does the clock "appear" when you damage the area below (ie. eg. move a video player below the supposed position)? $ git checkout 4.10

Hi, no flickering or anything when I move a playing video below the beclock position/area. I don't think 4.10 works either although I intend to try again, support information below.

Whatever plugin is loaded is pre commit af5db8f5d9399f59bad3c10e807a4c7ce73549ca If the version you compiled has this commit ("git log", it's labeled "wire show and hide to dbus") it was not installed to some KDE plugin path. Check the installation paths in "make install" and compare that to the output of strace /usr/bin/kwin --replace 2>&1 | grep beclock (to see which plugin kwin loads) The install the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable (in the build dir, run "ccmake ..", ccmake is the curses gui variant of cmake)

Hi, I might be wrong but it looks like beclock is being installed into /usr/lib/kde4 but should be installed into /usr/lib64/kde4 I've found the same issue with plasmoids compiled from source CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = /usr output below Install the project... -- Install configuration: "Release" -- Installing: /usr/lib/kde4/kwin4_effect_beclock.so -- Removed runtime path from "/usr/lib/kde4/kwin4_effect_beclock.so" -- Up-to-date: /usr/share/kde4/services/kwin/beclock.desktop -- Installing: /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_kwin4_effect_beclock.so -- Removed runtime path from "/usr/lib/kde4/kcm_kwin4_effect_beclock.so" -- Up-to-date: /usr/share/kde4/services/kwin/beclock_config.desktop -- Installing: /usr/lib/kde4/kwin4_effect_generic_animations.so -- Removed runtime path from "/usr/lib/kde4/kwin4_effect_generic_animations.so" -- Up-to-date: /usr/share/kde4/services/kwin/generic_animations.desktop -- Installing: /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_kwin4_effect_generic_animations.so -- Removed runtime path from "/usr/lib/kde4/kcm_kwin4_effect_generic_animations.so" -- Up-to-date: /usr/share/kde4/services/kwin/generic_animations_config.desktop -- Installing: /usr/lib/kde4/kwin4_effect_befaded.so -- Removed runtime path from "/usr/lib/kde4/kwin4_effect_befaded.so" -- Up-to-date: /usr/share/kde4/services/kwin/befaded.desktop

Hi, I've copied the .so files from /usr/lib/kde4 to /usr/lib64/kde4 and beclock is displaying again. is there anyway to define lib64 as the default location? Thanks for your help, GZU

Good to hear that beclock works =) It installs into ${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR} as determined by the KDE cmake module. You could try: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DKDE4_LIB_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/lib64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. But I don't know whether the variable would not just be overridden. Fedora should probably adjust /usr/share/apps/cmake/modules/KDELibsDependencies.cmake to point KDE4_LIB_INSTALL_DIR (and some others) to /usr/lib64

Hi thomas12777, I can't remember if I tried your suggestion but I ended up using cmake -DLIB_SUFFIX=64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. It appears that LIB_SUFFIX isn't set and is used in /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/KDELibsDependencies.cmake to set the /usr/lib /usr/lib64 PATH. This should help me with plasmoids also. Thanks again, GZU

Good to know. However, /usr/lib64 is not a standard (for x64 systems) As far as i could figure, Fedora sets LIB_SUFFIX in some "rpmbuild" cmake module, which is probably only invoked by rpmbuild - they might want to add that to some global cmake module (in the x64 cmake package)

Hi, looks like it is all taken care of in rpmbuild by macro %cmake_kde4 in /etc/rpm/macros.kde4 Thanks, GZU

Self compiled BeClock or does RH simply no more include a package? (Please notice that there's no port for KWin/KF5 yet) If self-compiled and on KDE4, please paste the output of "qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation" somewhere.

Which branch? 4.10 or master (for 4.11 use master) If master build fails on 4.11, please elaborate on "how", ie. please post the error message.
