Hi,

I am using Kubuntu 11.10. Today I updated to linux-image-3.0.0-17-generic. After the update, several desktop effects don't work any more and in System Settings -> Desktop Effects, I get the following error message:

Using XRender works, the desktop effects are still not working though. Could the update be responsible for the crash? What should I do before re-enabling OpenGL to make sure I don't crash my system?

Thanks!

do other OpenGL applications work? E.g. glxgears? In general it might be useful to provide the output of glxinfo.

Hi,

glxgears seems to work. The output of glxinfo is

Thanks =)

ok, in that case I would just try to reactivate the effects. If it crashes just put the backtrace on paste.kde.org and I'll have a look at it and tell you what to disable :-)

Re-enabled OpenGL, seems to work

Just wanted to be make sure not to crash my system...

Thank you!

After the update, several desktop effects don't work any more and in System Settings -> Desktop Effects, I get the following error message: Code: Select all `Desktop effects are not available on this system due to the following technical issues: OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past. This was most likely due to a driver bug. If you think that you have meanwhile upgraded to a stable driver, you can reset this protection but be aware that this might result in an immediate crash! Alternatively, you might want to use the XRender backend instead.` Using XRender works, the desktop effects are still not working though. Could the update be responsible for the crash? What should I do before re-enabling OpenGL to make sure I don't crash my system? Thanks!
