You should be good now;)

Tdavila3 · October 20, 2009, 9:08pm

they’re still not working. would changing the compositing type help at all?

caf4926 · October 20, 2009, 9:10pm

Is it showing kwin in the settings?

caf4926 · October 20, 2009, 9:15pm

System Settings - Default Applications - Window Manager

Is it selected Kwin

Don’t change it. Just tell me what it shows.

Tdavila3 · October 20, 2009, 9:20pm

i don’t see it anywhere

Tdavila3 · October 20, 2009, 9:24pm

kwin is selected.

caf4926 · October 20, 2009, 9:30pm

I have no trouble with kwin supplying the compiz effects. Some do use totally compiz. There is a guide here:
Compiz Fusion on 4.3 X - openSUSE Forums

But I would be careful if I were you.
You need to read that very carefully.

Try rebooting your machine first.

Tdavila3 · October 20, 2009, 10:20pm

sweet. it worked.

caf4926 · October 21, 2009, 4:01am

Well we made it in the end. Hope you’re happy with the result.

pilotgi · January 4, 2010, 10:47pm

Using 11.2 and the just updated kernel 2.6.31.8. I just upgraded from nvidia 190.42 to 190.53 and lost my cube 3d effect. It doesn’t work with the 195.30 beta driver either. The desktop switching animation works, as do other effects. Only the cube/sphere/cylinder effect has stopped working.

Does this have to do with running KDE 4.4 Beta?

Anyone else getting this?

Edit: I’m using the nvidia shell script, not the rpm from the openSUSE repos.

caf4926 · January 5, 2010, 5:04am

Not getting this on my Box but that’s 4.3.4 with nvidia from repo

Laptop is Intel kde4.4 beta works fine with cube
