Beryl On SUSE Linux

[skaterkid]

I just put beryl and set it to boot automatically on my root user account. Unfortunately I did not previously set up Compiz and I accidentally set my compiz to run my desktop in the beryl manager. Now every time I boot into root I get a white screen because compiz was never set up. What do I type in my user terminal to reset my beryl manager to run off beryl and not compiz?

You can edit the configs by hand in the terminal, but it will be much easier to just kill Compiz. Hit Control+Alt+F1, log in and run

killall -9 compiz

If I remember correctly Compiz attempts to restart so you may need to run it 2-3 times. When you're happy just hit Control+Alt+F7 to get back into X, and you should be able to change your settings using the beryl-manager icon in your tray.

sorry but that dosen't seem to do anything? Can you tell me how to disable the Beryl and Emerald theme managers from my User acount so they will not boot when I log in as admin? I used the first method described at this site Beryl - openSUSE to get beryl and the beryl manager to boot at start up. Ohh and sorry if that link is in french I can't seem to get to the english one from the beryl site.

can you just uninstall it?

You can disable compiz altogether by renaming it. Hit ctrl+alt+f1 as I said before, log in as root (remembering that your password will not show up) and then run

muv /usr/bin/compiz /usr/bin/compiz.rename

When you log in again it won't be able to start - so make the changes you make and then if you want you can later put compiz back -

sudo mv /usr/bin/compiz.rename /usr/bin/compiz
