RE: Penumbra Scrolling Graphics Problem - msp301 - 08-10-2009
doesn't fix my problem at the moment, but thanks for that as didn't really think about it possibly not waiting for metacity
the problem seems to be between executing penumbra and replacing compiz back again; the game attempts to start, but then "compiz --replace" seems to run and stops the game from opening, it doesn't wait for penumbra to play fully until the game is quitted, I thought it would work as technically "./penumbra" will be running as long as the game is open and when closed it would then move to the next line in the script, but doesn't seem to be the case
RE: Penumbra Scrolling Graphics Problem - Urkle - 08-12-2009
well, actually that IS the case, it does stop when running ./penumbra (as it does not have an & after it)
Does the game run at all? or do things go screwy when you quit the game? if it's just when you quit the game, simply put another sleep 2 before launching compiz.

ok thanks, well at the moment, the game won't start when trying to run this script to launch it; all that happens is the ubuntu desktop (like panels, windows etc) lose their borders, disappear for a second, then they reappear and their borders are placed back and nothing else happens; which is why it has looked like the script doesn't stop on "./penumbra" and just continues the rest of the script, relaunching compiz .. so at the moment, placing in another sleep has no effect apart from delaying the replacement of compiz
... if the script is actually stopping on the penumbra launch, I have no idea why it doesn't launch :S
RE: Penumbra Scrolling Graphics Problem - Urkle - 08-12-2009
are you running the script from the command line (terminal)?? did you look at the generated hpl.log?
It sounds like penumbra isn't starting at all so the script is continuing.

I'm running the script from the application launcher; it does seem like that ... the log seems fine ... it's pasted below:

that looks like the game is starting and running fine? (well at least the menu)
What is the date on the hpl.log file? (or delete it and run the game again to make sure it's from the current run).
I guess I'm confused at what the "current" issue we are working on is now.
Does the game not run at all now? or are we just trying to ease things with compiz?
Personally what I do w/ compiz is I run the "fusion-icon" application that runs up in the panel and I switch to metacity via that when I run games and then switch back when I do "real work" :-D

yeah, seems a bit weird, the log file is current, the topic has moved to trying to automate compiz and penumbra, but I think this could be something to do with Ubuntu 9.04's application launcher as I have known it to have a few issues before in previous releases; I think I can safely say there is no more to try to get this to work ... I will either resort to "fusion-icon" as you've suggested or I can keep doing this manually from the terminal (which keeps the great routines of the linux user going lol) ... I can report now that the Intel X4500 Mobile Graphics yet still has some graphics problems on running Penumbra anyway (some nice big pixels here and there across the screen) ... Thanks again for everyone's help in this thread
