Try to add:

export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1

in:

/etc/profile

Code: Select all

# /etc/profile

# System wide environment and startup programs, for login setup
# Functions and aliases go in /etc/bashrc

# It's NOT good idea to change this file unless you know what you
# are doing. Much better way is to create custom.sh shell script in
# /etc/profile.d/ to make custom changes to environment. This will
# prevent need for merging in future updates.

pathmunge () {
    case ":${PATH}:" in
        *:"$1":*)
            ;;
        *)
            if [ "$2" = "after" ] ; then
                PATH=$PATH:$1
            else
                PATH=$1:$PATH
            fi
    esac
}


if [ -x /usr/bin/id ]; then
    if [ -z "$EUID" ]; then
        # ksh workaround
        EUID=`id -u`
        UID=`id -ru`
    fi
    USER="`id -un`"
    LOGNAME=$USER
    MAIL="/var/spool/mail/$USER"
fi

# Path manipulation
if [ "$EUID" = "0" ]; then
    pathmunge /sbin
    pathmunge /usr/sbin
    pathmunge /usr/local/sbin
else
    pathmunge /usr/local/sbin after
    pathmunge /usr/sbin after
    pathmunge /sbin after
fi

HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname 2>/dev/null`
HISTSIZE=1000
if [ "$HISTCONTROL" = "ignorespace" ] ; then
    export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
else
    export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
fi

export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE HISTCONTROL

for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
    if [ -r "$i" ]; then
        if [ "$PS1" ]; then
            . $i

You should be able to just past it at the end. Since you're modifying it though I suggest you make a backup

Code: Select all

su -c 'cp /etc/profile /etc/profile.bak'

If you're logged in as root you can ignore the "su -c"

I just deleted the folder .kde in home/.kde
And the problem was solved
now desktop effects are active
tanx

That will often work but not recommended as that folder contains your data as well as config files. Some apps, eg. amarok and kjots, store data in .kde/share/apps

I hat the same problem one user with destop effects enabled and an another user with desktop effects disabled on the same PC.

To solve the problem I removed the file ".kde/share/config/kwinrc"
After that login/logout and reconfigure the desktop effect and Virtual Desktops and everything works fine

Dear cschmit,
Thank you for nice solution! I tried to resolve the same problem during weeks without any result. With help of your trick all works again in a minute.
