Hi, I am more of a returning Kubuntu user after having not used KDE or Kubuntu much since 2009/2010, but its so different I am a babe in the woods. I decided to switch back because one of the few things I missed from Windows was added as a default option last year and I didnt notice (I liked aero-peek, which is close to KDE's icon tasks).
Anyway, I installed all updates as soon as I clean installed including the NVidia-current driver. Before this, my dual monitor setup wasnt working. But after getting the dual monitor set up working, I no longer have graphic effects (the "glass" taskbar, etc). If I go into system settings/desktop effects, I get :
Desktio effects are not available on this system due to the following technical issues:
Required X extensions (XComposite and XDamaage) are not available
I searched on the internet for these errors combined with the way Kubuntu was set up and they seem to have everything to do with dual monitors. The trouble is none of the posts I found in my search had a fix that I could find.
Has anyone else run into this problem and been able to fix it? I dont know if it did this in the 9.xx cycle I last used Kubuntu on because I wasnt running dual monitors yet. I have to run two monitors for my work, but Id really like the effects to work as they should.
