Intrepid: Can't resize windows

[Edmundo]

I switched to intrepid yesterday.

I can't resize windows by using the corners or the window borders. I'm using kde4 (is it the default now?) + compiz.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information. Could you please provide the information requested below:

1. Please attach your ~/.xsession-errors file to this bug report.
2. Please run "gconftool-2 -g /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins" and post the output.

Thanks

$ gconftool-2 -g /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins

Thanks - that is odd, as you're running the "resize" plugin ok. Could you also please provide the following:

1. Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to this bug report.
2. Please run "lspci -vvnn > lspci.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run "gconftool-2 -R /apps/compiz > compiz.gconf" and attach the resulting file "compiz.gconf" to this bug report.
4. Please try creating a fresh user account and state whether you see this problem with a new user (default profile - no changes).

Thanks

Who said I was using Xorg? Just kidding! There you go!

I created the new user (with adduser) and the kde session didn't even
bother to start... which by the way is what was happening with my KDE
session (till I deleted the empty directory .kde/share/plasma
following a tip provided on the #ubuntu+1 channel on IRC).

Anything else?

We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Edmundo (eantoranz)]

Well, man... I don't think I'll be trying (unfortunately). I'm using
KDE 4.2 with no compiz.

Thanks, Edmundo. Therefore I am closing this bug.
