Beryl - No Window Decorations

Pat,

Last night you were talking about how your window decorations weren't showing when you installed Beryl on your Kubuntu Feisty install.

I had the same problem initially (nVidia card, by the way), and just had to add a line to my '/etc/X11/xorg.conf':

under the Section "Screen", insert:

Code: Select all

Option [tab] "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
I understand you got around this by installing the 'Aquamarine' package. This uses your KDE window decorations for Beryl, where the default is 'Emerald', the shiny Beryl window decorations. GNOME's Metacity window decorations can be used with the 'Heliodor' package.

Miss keeping up with the conversations on IRC. :( I went to see you guys at OLF2006 (Pat did what with a condom?) because I was about to start school and have a very busy schedule. I usually have class Wednesday night, so I get home just in time to miss the show.

But I am getting 112% in my Linux class! He gives a lot of extra credit because of all the reboot monkeys.

I am using ubuntu feisty and the only app that I do not have a title bar on is firefox, it opens up maximized with no title bar, the only way I can close it is to do file --> quit??I tried Heliodor with no luck

I had this problem as well with Feisty (e-geforce 7300 [crappy version]) and in the end just went back to edgy. Mainly cause feisty didn't recognize the vid card and provide the drivers. Actually, I installed the drivers but it wouldn't add the boot script to start them and I didn't feel like manually doing it so I switched back.

Anyway, I run feisty on my Intel integrated graphics/wireless laptop and love it.
