General :: Kubuntu: After KWin Crashed - Something Happened To Docky - Screenlets And Others
Jul 3, 2011
for instance, it said that "docky needs proper composition to work properly" when it was working properly before. after having too many flash applications open, after clicking on a link to a videos video, everything crashed, and it said that *for the 20th time now in a week* that kwin has crashed. then i tried to log out and log back in since that normally fixed everything, but i couldn't log out, instead i had to killall xorg but all that showed next was a black screen instead of what it should have shown, the login screen. i had reboot from the terminal and the login screen was normal, but when i booted in to kde, everything that needed opengl and composition crashed. docky doesn't have a black box around it, but it won't intellihide like it should *and i tried to set it back to that setting but it didn't give me the option to*

I certainly do not want to install Elementary OS, and just want a similar interface. I already installed docky, but Unity gets in the way. Is there a way I can disable that? Also, can I hide the docky application icon on Docky? Or is there a better way to do this?

I am running fedora vm under XP host and using NAT connection to the Internet. It usually works fine, but some time the connection is just lost. I went menu System->Admin->Network and see the interface eth0, but I cannot activate or deactivate. The status is inactive. (when the connect works, the status is active). so I try "ifdown eth0" and "ifup eth0" command, and got
"Error: Connection activation failed: Device not managed by NetowrkManger
The menu System->Admin->Network device control show no interface.
I am not sure what happened.

I am running Natty Alpha 3. I used Update Manager to install something (not sure what it was), then I restarted, but instead of listing all the kernels, it gave me a command line. I don't know what happened and how to use it.

So i'm really loving the whole gnome-do/docky thing. My question is that on other docks, you can hold down a modifier key to launch a new instance rather then switching to an already opened instance of an app. So lets say I have chrome on the win7 dock
first click launches chrome
other clicks will focus the opened window
shift click will open a new instance of chrome
ctrl-shift-click will launch a new instance as admin
Is there anything similar in docky?

I installed Docky in Ubuntu and I have it set to autohide. One problem is that if a window is maximized, then the docky is blocked. In order to see it, I have to unmaximize or moved windows. Can docky be made to appear above other windows?

I am using docky on Ubuntu. I want to have a launcher for intellij in my docky bar, but I have an issue.No matter which method for adding the launcher to the dock I use, the intellij icon specified in my .desktop won't display. Instead I get the lame spring board launcher icon. Once I launch intellij it creates another icon on docky. So now I have intellij's correct icon and the spring board launcher icon. Once I close intellij we are back to just the spring board again.Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?I shouldalso note that "idea" launches a shell script if that mattersDesktop file

for some unfathomable reason Kwin just went all Compiz on my Kubuntu Natty 11.04. Fresh install, x86 Emachines V140 AMD GPU, Mobility Radeon 4200, radeon driver. Anyhoo, desktop effects got disabled out of the blue, probably after some setting I've changed, and there was no way to get them back. I'd hit enable effects in the Desktop Effects panel, whereupon I would get a notification that dekstop effects were disabled because of another function using Kwin, and asking me to hit CRTL ALT F12 to restart them. Which would get me nowhere. I tried disabling functionality checks, getting the message:

Can you get Screenlets for Fedora 13? Google Gadgets is good, but when I used Ubuntu 10.04 on Screenlets looked much better. As much as I prefer Fedora, there doesn't seem to much of these Desktop effects about.

I am trying to find out where in the system are the files that store information on the following: 1. keyboard shortcuts, and 2. which applications and which windows were open before the session ended. Regarding (2): I really like the fact that when I log back in, OpenSuse pops up all the windows that I had open before I last logged out. I know that this information must be stored somewhere. And most probably in my home folder. But I can't seem to find it in ~/.kde or ~/.kde4 Regarding (1): Again, I really like the Mac-OS style behavior that one gets with Ctrl+F9/F10. But sometimes I invoke it inadvertently when - as far as I can remember - my fingers were on the trackpad only. I have not been able to figure out how I do it. But I would like to be able to do it consciously - without pressing Ctrl+F9/F10. Does anyone know what could be happening. i have an HP Pavilion dv4 laptop with an otherwise annoyingly sensitive track pad.

I am using openSUSE 11.2 x64 with KDE 4.3.5.I am experiencing sudden, sporadic drops in performance due to the kwin and Xorg processes suddenly consuming large amounts of CPU for a few minutes (maybe 30-40% each) before dropping back to normal (1-3% each). I am seeing this using top.

Is there a way to disable window drag from within the window? I mean, I want the window to be movable only from the title bar. But now even if you drag the window from the content, the drag action is fired.

Occasionally, kwin will crash and recover itself, but afterwards, my system starts using GTK notifications (yellow popup bubbles with the pie graph countdown timer). I've tried restarting knotify4 to no avail.

In FC 15 x64, I can no longer issue "shutdown -rF now". I get tagged on the "-F" option."-F" seems to have disappeared from the man page as well. The "-F" option was to force a "fsck" on my next boot.What happened to the "-F" option? Has fsck disappeared when we went from ext3 to ext4?

I installed screenlets last night and the weather widget starts regardless of how many times I delete it. The cairo clock will not start no matter how many times I add it and tic the auto start box. So I uninstalled screenlets this morning to start over and it's still doing the same thing. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

Accidentally I pressed alt-shift-f11 (instead of f12) and kde notified me that I switched the window manager layout to spiral: now my panel is not transparent anymore (obviously, with effects enabled). I have a standard desktop install of opensuse 11.4, with the kde themes I found out of the box. How can I restore the previous situation? If I press alt-shift-f11 nothing changes, except enabling or disablin the tiling (was it activated by default?).

I had screenlets working Just Fine on F 10, but it hit EOL so I used preupgrade to move to F 11. Now, I can't get them working no matter what I do. If I try to run screenlets-manager from a terminal I get this message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py", line 28, in <module>
import screenlets
ImportError: No module named screenlets
And, I can't reinstall them because they require python-dateutil which doesn't seem to have a version for F 11. I even tried downloading the tarball and running setup.py, but it crashed because it tries to import a module that doesn't exist.
