Beryl problem

[Mr.Kuchinawa]

When I try to choose beryl as my window manager, nothing happens. It worked before, so what's wrong?

Hehe, I believe I have heard this problem before... you wouldn't happen to have had an error/crash from beryl?

Just to make sure, go to System > Preferences > Sessions. Make sure there are three things at startup for Beryl. If they aren't just push the add button and put this in the terminal space. They should be these commands:

beryl
beryl-manager
emerald --replace

Then reboot and tell me if that works, if not, might be a bit more serious.

[Mr.Kuchinawa]

Didn't work. I belive something may be wrong with xorg. I have a backup somewhere, how do I access it?

Thing is, beryl pops up and all of that, but when I try to click on beryl as my preferred window manager, nothing happens.

[starcraft.man]

Didn't work. I belive something may be wrong whit xorg. I have a backup somewhere, how do I access it?

Hmmm, well let us look at the xorg then. Type this into terminal and paste your xorg file.

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

also to find your backup, please post the output of this too:

ls /etc/X11/

Any help would be most appreciated.

[urinal]

ive got the same problem:confused:

[Mr.Kuchinawa]

Nice if anybody could answer this rather quickly...

[urinal]

try typing glxinfo |grep direct then you should get yes if not install your graphiics driver again

[sowelie]

Are you running on an NVIDIA or ATI card? It looks like your drivers aren't installed properly.

[Mr.Kuchinawa]

Nvidia. I'll check the driver when I'm home.

Edit: Works! Thanks!
