Description Matthew 2012-11-29 03:51:16 UTC

On all programs, the title bar does not appear.  This includes the system settings, Dolphin, Help, Libre Office, and Firefox.  I suspect a virus, but it could have been me messing around in the system settings, although nothing seems off, however.  Open GL is not enabled, and when I have tried to enable it, between 17 and 19 desktop effects do not load.  Diagnostics shows nothing.  Also no new programs can be installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.reboot
2. open something
3. attempt to close it via title bar
4. note that there is not one.
Actual Results:  
no title bar.

Expected Results:  
The software should have reset and been fine.

It happens every time I reboot.  Nothing responds the way it is supposed to.  HELP!

1. no virus (unlikely, viruses try to not appear =)
2. what KDE version is this, exactly?
3. can you switch between windows clinking into them or use alt+tab to do so?
4. check whether a "kwin" process is running (ctrl+alt+del is likely bound to a process manager, in doubt check "ps ax | grep kwin" in konsole)
5. test whether this happens with a different (new) user account, resp. when moving 
~/.kde and/or ~/.kde4 to ~/.kde.bak resp. ~/.kde4.bak and re-login.
6.  "Also no new programs can be installed" - how do you attempt to do and what fails. Is your hard disk full (run "df -h" in konsole)
