          Hi all!
 
 
Now I found the file which made some problems to start beryl.
 
 
After overwriting in home-folder ~/.kde/shared/config/ file kwinrc with the one from a new user, beryl looks very fine  
 
 
Maybe it's "Translucency" making trouble...

I did find it was i had destop icons swiched off. Turned them back on in kcontrol AND restarted x/kde and then beryl plays nice. I'm sure someone did mention this a while back but i didnt restart kde or x to confirm this worked. This obviously may not be your problem but worth a try.
 
 
Sorry wegface, that was already swiched on  
 
 
Yours

Has anyone had the same problem when trying to install beryl today? |

Ok , now it works.
 
Beryl and beryl related packges get installed, but when i start beryl-manager  , a get a blank-screen then the nvidia-logo (beta-driver) and then a get the kde-login screen.
 
When I login there is no beryl-icon and nothing seems to have changed.
 
I tried this several times, always same result, what went wrong? |

          So I have to remove beryl* emerald emerald-themes and nvidia-driver and then reinstall them in the order you told me above hschn?

          i only installed the nvidia-beta-driver again without uninstall
 
 
maybe it`s necessary to do first    update-scripts-kanotis.sh

          I've been running xgl/compiz for a few days which I installed via the install-compiz.sh script and it's been working well but I've been using beryl in suse and it has more features and options so I just upgraded to beryl on kanotix but I'm having a few problems.
 
 
I followed the instructions here and installed beryl and emerald then reinstalled the nvidia beta driver and running "beryl-manager" put the icon in my tray but didn't autmatically start the window manager so I closed it and tried running "beryl".  This displayed the splash and started up beryl and fully so I added it to my .kde/Autostart.
 
I rebooted and it was working ok and autostarted.
 
However, after my next reboot I was left at the login prompt and there was no login screen.  I typed startx and it went into kde but beryl started up and there were no window decorations.
 
At this point various compinations of "beryl" "beryl-manager && beryl" are starting it up but every other time it fails and I get this message 
Code: 
Initiating splash
 
sh: line 5: gdb: command not found
 
 
[CRASH_HANDLER]: "/tmp/beryl_crash-3555.out" created!
 
 
 
** (beryl-manager:3495): WARNING **: Couldn't find a Selection Owner, perhaps no WM running?
 
Otherwise, manually kill your wm, and report the bug to the developers, it doesn't follow the standards.
 
Falling back to looking for a defined WM in xlsclients
 
 
 
My more major concern is that X won't start automatically.  There are no errors in /var/log/X.0.log |

          Ok I removed all the beryl and emerald stuff and reinstalled them then reinstalled nvidia-beta.
 
Now kdm starts up but when I run beryl I just get the white screen thing and no desktop and when I run beryl-manager I get this
Code: 
**(beryl-manager:8159): WARNING **: Couldn't find a Selection Owner, perhaps no WM running?
 
 
Aargh! It's driving me mad, it was running so perfectly before.  I also remove all the kwin config files in .kde. |

          | Removed and reinstalled it all again and re-installed the nvidia beta driver afterwards and tried again.  Didn't run beryl, just beryl-manager and it gives the same error as above. |
