Ubuntu :: Kwin Compositioning Not Starting Up?
Apr 18, 2011
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:

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.

Kubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 says "Unable to contact KDED". This in return disables all of my KDE services. I have already freshly installed 10.10 2 times. Also when I first login it says KWIN has crashed, but I see it running in the service Manager. I have no internet service without KDE services.

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.

I have installed Gnome to KDE and above mentioned problem discovered. Kontact was over the whole screen and rotation of display was to the left and right not above and down. After uninstalling compiz the mentioned problems are away.

I'm having a strange problem with KDE, to which there may be no solution but thought I'd ask anyway. I play several games (Neverball, several MAME games and even ZSNES and others) and it seems that if I have desktop effects turned on, KWIN will crash every time I exit a full screen game such as those mentioned above and others. If I disable desktop effects before starting the game, everything is fine. The games themselves run fine while desktop effects are enabled, I don't have to remember to disable desktop effects before clicking on a game.

I have a clean new installation of openSUSE 11.4, but I can't enable the desktop effects in it. My video is nVidia GTS250 and I haven't any issues with enabling desktop effects in the past.

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 am running KDE 4.4.4 Stable from the openSuSE Repository for KDE 4.4.4 stable as included with 11.3.At first after initial installation Kontact worked and I could access Email, Address Book, Calendar, etc. from the icon bar. Now, Kontact starts, opens the Summary page, but no selections respond, only the Kwin responds to terminate the application, it just seems to hang and has to be killed to terminate. Anyone have similar issue or ideas on what may be causing it? I can start KMail, Kaddressbook, as separate applications and all respond as normal.

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 was just curious for the ATI users out there that are running KDE on Fedora 14 have any of you experienced any performance issues? My systems desktop slows to a crawl when Kwin's compositing is enabled, however in KDE 4.4 there were no issues at all. My desktop I built is a rather modest build just for development nothing too High end on the machine, however KDE and it's effects surely should run. I also use xfce so I switched to that and gave up on KDE 4.5

I'm running 11.2 KDE 4.3.5, recently every time I've tried to use the Updater Applet I get this error after choosing to install an update: PackageKit Error internal-error: Installation aborted by user. Then I run YaST to try to manually install the update and get the following error:
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package kwin-4.3.5-0.2.1.i586 is not installed. Really unsure how to fix this but it's only blocking updates/patches, I can download new programs fine.

I'm experiencing random lockups. There are 2 types.1st time this happened when I enabled Kwin compositing effects. The screen turned black and it froze, the mouse pointer froze. Nothing would move. 5 Minutes later I just hard reset the Laptop. I was afraid something could be corrupted as it was shutdown in a bad way. On boot up Kwin's compositing effects were in place.Randomly working on the laptop, everything will freeze except the mouse pointer. This happens like once in a while though.I have a feeling this has something to do with my Dell Studio 1555 Intel GM4500 MHD graphics.

I installed OS11.4 on my old laptop, Compaq Armada E500., 512MB RAM, ATI Rage Mobility. During installation I chose "minimal server" and added some development packages, lxde and a little more. I chose to start in runlevel 3 which is full networking without X. Still, when computer is booted it tries to start Xorg which doesn't work because of some problem w driver. The start-up seems to stop there, it never loads completely - seems most things in runlevel 3 are not started (see below) I can manually login on laptop and fix it - but never permanently, same thing again after reboot.
I have checked /etc/inittab & yast - both states default runlevel is 3. I have checked services to be started both directly, browsing directory /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/, and with YaST, it is very clear X should not load during boot. But, as said, it does.. I don't really care about the driver problem right now, I can fix that later when I have more time. So how do I stop X from getting started automatically?
More info, if needed: The installation also stopped with message on tty1 "Starting YaST2" and tty8 showing errors with graphics driver (mach64). The system seemed to be installed though, so I simply rebooted (issuing "reboot" from tty2).
[Code]....
I'm not completely sure where it stops, network is configured but keyboard is wrong and mysql & everything after is not started, so somewhere between S02network and S06kbd. I'm going to use it as a server for testing purposes so no X is actually needed - however I do want to have X & lxde installed just in case, my Internet connection at home is terribly slow so I need most things I might need in the future installed today.

I am trying to install spss 16 on an hp. I have activated the license and everything but when I run ./spss on the spss bin directory (this is the executable the install instrucyions tell me I should use) I get the following error after a little intro screen:
Code:
testu@Schwarzschild:~/SPSSIncb/SPSS16/bin$ sh ./spss

played around with Plymouth Manager yesterday, and today, my system would not start. I got some help from #ubuntu, and to my surprise, startx ran without problems. sudo service gdm start also worked perfectly. However, when I boot up my computer, I am always taken to the recovery screen. How can I stop this from happening, get my boot screen back, and make everything work as it should?I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit with an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT and version current on the nVidia restricted drivers.

I've been running Ubuntu (10.10 - 32 bit) for about 3 months. Being curious about the very basics of Java programming I've just installed Netbeans 6.9 through the Ubuntu software centre and done the "Hello World" exercise within Netbeans. The file is in my Home folder but I'm not clear how now to try and run it.
Some Googling has raised some contradictory recommendations about adding the Sun/Oracle repository and the installing JDK6 as well. I'm now getting out of my depth so if someone can share knowledge on where to go from here I would be grateful. Have just registered so I hope this post is expressed correctly.
