Re: How to activate Desktop-Effects

That made a little difference to my somewhat different situation, thanks! But I continue to get a KWin message

"The following desktop effects could not be activated:"

followed by a list of four or five things like Blur and Desktop Cube. Any idea why, or what I should do to fix it?

I just got my holiday present and am switching from my old single-core processor, seems like it was maybe 2.79Ghz, and half a gig of memory, to my new AMD Athlon II X4 630 with 8 gigs of memory. I was running 10.10 on the old one, barely, and I've been running Kubuntu since 7.04, so I was very happy to get it going on my new machine.

Since I've never had a 64-bit machine, perhaps I'm failing to configure something I should? Oh yeah, the graphics card is listed as ATI Radeon HD 5450.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
