Problem installing kwin on xubuntu 14.04

[danbuz]

I triend installing kwin with this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0xTiTUiIng
but I got message that the KWM have broken packages when I check install kde-style-skulture in synaptic.

I 'm not able to run windows manager settings at all, tried everthyng but no success. The errors are similar to this topic http://discuss.howtogeek.com/t/unable-to-install-kwin-and-kwin-window-manager/14573/8 but nothing works for me..

Is it possible to run kwin in 14.04 at all? The *-gles packages described in the video are also missing in synaptic.

Any Ideas? Someone tried to install kwin already?

I installed it and didn't need many packages
look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5kiYjg3Rog
I don't even know what language the guy is speaking but the description and video explains enough for me



sudo apt-get install kwin-style-qtcurve kde-window-manager-common kde-window-manager kdeartwork-theme-window qtcurve kde-window-manager-active


cp /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml


gedit ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml

- inlocuiti xfwm4 cu kwin apoi restart
(replace xfwm4 with kwin ??? probably)

Aplicatie Kwin:

i didn't bother with the autostart :-)

Still figuring out how to get the numix style window decorations to work ...
