Re: kwin manager

Do you mean the KDE 4 window manager (KWin) ?

the KDE 4 window manager (KWin)

This package contains KWin, the KDE 4 window manager, featuring hardware-accelerated compositing effects.

This package is part of the KDE 4 base workspace module.

This is a dummy package to depend on the new kde-window-manager, it can be safely removed.

Re: kwin manager

Was it System settings > Desktop > Enable desktop effects ?


Maybe:

When you are in the login screen - don't login - press: Ctrl + Alt + F1.
This should start virtual console /1/.

Login in the text mode. After you are in, type:

nano ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc

this is same as

nano /home/<USER>/.kde/share/config/kwinrc

<USER> is your username

man nano

nano is a small, free and friendly editor

My kwinrc (Intrepid Ibex, KDE 4.1.1) has

[$Version]
update_info=kwin_on_off.upd:kwin_on_off,kwin.upd:k de3.0r1,kwin.upd:kde3.2Xinerama,
kwin_focus1.upd:kwin_focus1,kwin3_plugin.upd:kde3. 2,kwin_focus2.upd:kwin_focus2

[Compositing]
Enabled=true

[Desktops]
Name_1=
Name_2=
Name_3=Desktop 3
Name_4=Desktop 4
Number=4
....

Change

Enabled=true

to

Enabled=false

save and exit nano.

Press: Ctrl + Alt + F7. Now you should be in the graphical login screen. Login - any help?


kwinrc also has:

/1/ Virtual console (PC)

Usually in Linux, the first six virtual consoles provide a text terminal with a login prompt to a Unix shell. The graphical X Window System starts in the seventh virtual console. In Linux, the switching is performed with a key combination of Alt plus a function key -- for example Alt+F1 to access the virtual console number 1. Alt+Left arrow changes to the previous virtual console and Alt+Right arrow to the next virtual console. To switch from the X Window System, Ctrl+Alt+function key works. (Note that users can re-define these default key-combinations.)

Re: kwin manager


Thanks
I was not able to use graphical interface. There is an plugin that crashes.
I don't know how to find it. I think to try one by one but there are many plugins.

How do you advice me to find it ? (so I will never use it).
