Hi Guys,

I just installed Ultimate Edition 4.2.3. It works fine but the windows' manager is not launched. When I go to System/Prefs/Windows, I get a message "The current window manager is not supported". This problem happens after a very fresh install. From the start. And it was already happening using the live CD.

I just would like to know what command to launch in order to install or get back what is originally in the plan.

Thanks for your help :)

I forgot to say I use a AMD video card. I don't know if it is important. But I saw in the past things like that happening with one brand and not with the other one. I suppose it may be linked with the activated packages regarding the device.

Thanks for your time.

Probably running Compiz, which in case it would perhaps be prudent to get your AMD drivers in line.
