Compiz

arch linux gnome-flashback install

Asked by adam seymour

previously i was able to make a fully working gnome-flashback with compiz using the following script after installing gnome-flashback and compiz by running the below scrips.

however now it allow me to login but i have to click the shutdown/reboot buttons twice (and doesn't prompt with the count down for conformation) to action the shutdown request.

additionally pamac doesn't seem to authenticate me when performing actions that require sudo actions (might be related to the shutdown issue above)

i'd be very grateful for any suggestions to how to rectify the above issues

the script that seem to work previously is as follows

sudo bash -c "cat > /usr/lib/gnome-flashback/gnome-flashback-compiz<<EOL
"'#!/bin/sh'"

if [ -z "'\$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP'" ]; then
  export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="'"GNOME-Flashback:GNOME"'"
fi

exec gnome-session --systemd --session=gnome-flashback-compiz "'"\$@"'"
EOL"

sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/gnome-flashback/gnome-flashback-compiz

sudo bash -c "cat > /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-flashback-compiz.desktop<<EOL
