[kwin] Failed to activate desktop effects using the given conf options

Every time i logged in kde session, desktop effects are disabled. If I try to change compositing mode I always get this error message:
Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.
Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type.
If i delete ~/.kde4 folder and restart the system, then I have default session and I can change compositing mode and all effects are working smoothly. But after next restart effects are gone again and this message occurs
Is there are any ways to investigate/debug step by step this sort of problem? All i have googled about this message is too old or does not helpoing in my case
I had fglrx driver 14.1, then i switched back to open source driver
here is pasbin with all usefull outputs
glxingo, uname, dmesg, xorg session errors and xorg log files

Same here, every time I log in all the desktop effects were disabled, I tried reinstalling KDE and rebooting for several times but still get the same result. The only fix I know for now is to logout and login but even that does not always work.

HOW DO YOU REVEAL THE WHOLE OF THE DESKTOP PHOTO USING THE TRACKPAD?

When I swipe the trackpad to show the current windows open - i.e 3 Safari windows, sometimes when I swipe to return to the original page all the windows disappear and you can only see the complete dektop picture - o folders or icons form the desktop but ONLY the picture, I have tried playing around with the trackpad as I would like to know how I did it, I have looked through the preferences etc and can't see it, the ony time I seem to do it is when I'm not thinking about it!!
Thanks
Jimmy

Jimmy,
It took a little while before I discovered the trick, so follow these instructions. (I use a Magic Trackpad on my iMac and a similar shortcut with the MBP.)
1. Let's suppose you have Safari open. Use a three-fingered gesture, swiping in the upward direction, so you can see your Dashboard, Desktop, and whatever other programs that are open.
2. Move your cursor the upper right hand side of the screen, and a large "+" will appear. That's the way you can add more virtual desktops.
3. Select the "+", then select a field that should have a name like "Desktop 2." When you click on this small field, it will occupy the entire screen.The Dashboard and Safari display won't be visible, even though they're both active.
4. If you want to delete "Desktop 2", use the three-finger swipe-up, and select "Desktop 2"; when you pur your cursor on this small virtual desktop, you'll see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Choose it, and virtual desktop 2 will disppear.
Play around with the feature to make it your own.
Post in this forum if you found this useful, or if you have other questions!

Hi, KK93.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router and Mac can resolve the issue. However, try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi issue with your MacBook.

BO 4.0 LCM - Using the Override Settings Option

I am reading the LCM user manual and I am wondering:
What is meaning of Using the Override Settings Option?
I need to use LCM to move WebI reports and Universes from one environment to another
and from one environment to a LCMBIAR file.

I did everything as advised to apply an override for the universe connection object, even though there is no change in the connection settings from QA to PROD, I still get this during Test Promote:
Resolution Status=Copied, Dependency Status=All the required dependencies are included., Commit Status=Commit is successful., Promotion Status=Warning : Can't apply override; Override information is Not Available
When I do the actual promotion, the job fails for the connection object citing override issues. I don't know what's going on with LCM but is there any way to no be forced to use the override feature?
Thanks!

Could not connect to DbaaS Service using the given user name and password.

I'm not able to create Java Cloud Service (Oracle Java Cloud - Virtual Image Services) for my newly created Oracle Database Cloud Service instance. It fails with
"Incorrect values entered
Could not connect to DbaaS Service using the given user name and password.
Verify that the user name and password are correct and the user name has SYSDBA privileges."
I'm using SYSTEM user and the password I used during Oracle Database Cloud Service instance creation. I've verified them with sqlplus and also by connecting remotely.
Java Cloud Service wizard doesn't allow me to proceed to instance creation.

Hi Alexander,
Maybe you'll find useful the document from Oracle docs specified bellow regarding Creating an Oracle Java Cloud Instance:

HT201250 I backed up my iMac with a "WD My Passport" using the Time Machine option and tried to restore my iMac but it only saved my applications none of my documents, photos nothing else! What happened?

I backed up my iMac with a "WD My Passport" using the Time Machine option and tried to restore my iMac but it only saved my applications none of my documents, photos nothing else! What happened?

There should be two sparse bundles on the TC, one for each Mac. If you click the TC in a Finder sidebar, you should see something like this (in Column View):
If you see the sparse bundle for the iMac there, but not on the window where you do a full system restore (after starting from your Recovery HD or OSX Install disc), they may be corrupted (especially if your iMac was failing at the time of the last backup).
Try repairing those backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Then try the full restore again, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14. Note that if you suspect problems on the most recent backup, you might want to select an earlier one.

My iphone 4 is in DFU mode. However I still want the photos on the phone so I cant use the itune recover option. Does anyone know of a work around

My iphone 4 is in DFU mode. However I still want the photos on the phone so I cant use the itune recover option. Does anyone know of a work around

actually its not in DFU which is suppose to be a black screen. When it powers on there is an image of Itunes logo and the usb cord. What happened is I did an update before I backed up my photos the phone worked great after the update no issues till it powered off. When I turned it on again it had those two icons and was forcing me to sync with Itunes to system default which will wipe out my media.
Have you heard of any data recovery services

HT1766 Hi, I recently updated my IOS and backed up on itunes. In the process, I lost all my apps on my iphone. Any ideas on how to restore them? If I use the back up option, will I go back to my old IOS? Please help!

Hi, I recently updated my IOS and backed up on itunes. In the process I lost all my apps on my phone. If I use the back up option on itunes, will it restore my iphone to my old IOS? Please help!

If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

I am creating a video using the green screen option- I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

Unable to use the "Check In" option on Facebook with Fascinate?

Ever since I received my phone before Christmas I've been trying to use the Check In option in FB to check in when I go places. It doesn't seem to work and I have a few friends that has the same phone and they tell me the same thing. Has anyone been successful in using this option?

In order to use the Facebook Check In feature you must have your GPS turned on. You can turn on GPS by dragging the screen down and selecting the GPS icon.
You can also turn on GPS by selecting Menu, Settings and Location & settings.
Hope this helps!
Thank you,

Using the Assistive touch option

My last discussion was related to the Home button malfunctioning in a recently bought iPhone 5. The store exchanged it for a new one and now I would like to use the assistive touch option to keep from having to press any of the buttons: volume, home, lock. It works fine except when the assistive touch is On it mutes any sound and only vibrates. Unmuting it doesn't work either. A pop up screen keeps asking to enter a voicemail password code. In Setting, the password selection is Off so there is no code to enter. I have searched the iPhone 5 Users Guide to learn why this happens but there is no specific information.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Any ideas how I can insert a pdf into word, using the insert object option. However the pdf i want to insert has text and lines annotated, but once inserted the comments don't appear???? any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this. If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.

ORA-01610: recovery using the BACKUP CONTROLFILE option must be done

Hello All,
I have an instance on my LAB server. To explore more avenues in cloning a DB I did the following.
1. On my Oracle 10g Instance I fired an large query which would take atleast an hour to execute.
2. Opened another session and executed shu ABORT to shutdown the above instance abruptly.
3. Took backup of datafiles, archive logs and redologs [ prior to shu abort, I had issued ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE]
Restoration steps:
NOMOUNT with pfile edited to hold the name of the new DB_NAME
Create control file script edited to reflect the new paths of datafile and redologs.
MOunted succesfully.
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
ERROR at line 1:

I didn't find the file it was suggesting so I tried many combinations of providing the right recovery file name :-- All the latest Archive logs and Redologs in my backup.
Still the recovery is not successful. Please let me know how can I recover my DATABASE.
Many thanks in advance.

Valli

Greetings,
If I understood, you basically have a copy of a primary database and the redo log archives of this pretty same database, you have backed up the control file of this primary database, edited it pointing all paths of your datafiles to the new location but renaming the instance name.
I am assuming that you have edited the first line of your control file to something like "CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "DB02" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG", in this case are you sure that the redolog archives have not loose the sequence? In this case it will ask more and more archives and it will never end, take a look at the date and time of the thread that your instance is asking for recovery. Is your instance a production database? If it is NOT production and you are SURE that the database is completely recovered and is asking for redolog files that does not even exist you can try to add the ALLOWRESETLOGS_CORRUPTION=TRUE to your init.ora and open the db... This solution is not recommended and you should never use it on production instances... take this hint as a LAST effort to bring your db online.
