Re: Window decoration doesn't work in testing

2020-11-25 Thread Thom Castermans
Hi Mourad, Does manually restarting kwin resolve the issue (execute `kwin --replace` in Konsole or KRunner)? If not, does running that command in Konsole show errors? You may also want to check if you fully upgraded everything. Does `apt upgrade` mention packages that were held back? Hope that

Hi Héctor, Not sure if it was the same problem, but when I logged in today I did not have window decorations and was generally missing some kwin functionality. Turned out I could not start kwin due to a missing symbol. Running `apt full-upgrade` resolved the issue by installing a lot of kf5*

Hi Miguel, This situation is normal when the Debian KDE team is going through a (relatively big) KDE upgrade. It may take a couple of weeks before all packages have been built, tested and moved from experimental to Sid. In my experience it is best to simply be patient and wait until apt tells you

Hi Rainer, It sounds to me like it might be kwin that crashed, rather than Plasma. You can restart that with `DISPLAY=:0 kwin --replace` from any VTT. > I can start new apps using the (former) K-menu, If you mean the Application Launcher, then that means you can run commands from there too.

Dear Simon, I also have my taskbar set to auto-hide, and did have some problems with it in the past, but those have been resolved. What exactly do you mean with switching windows? Are you switching using a keyboard shortcut? AFAIK the taskbar is shown if and only if the mouse cursor is close to

Hi M., You can check `~/.xsession-errors` and `/var/log/Xorg.0.log` for errors, as well as kernel logs (`dmesg`) for errors specific to your graphics drivers. Hope that helps. Thom Op za 2 nov. 2019 om 02:27 schreef M. : > > Hi all, > > Thanks for your answers. I'm running Stable, and it seems

Hi M., For what it's worth, I cannot reproduce the issue on testing/unstable (Plasma 5.14.5, KeepassXC 2.4.3). How did you install KeepassXC? I had to build it from source - if you did too, maybe a rebuild is required after updates? Best, Thom Op zo 27 okt. 2019 om 23:55 schreef M. : > Hi all,

This may be something you already tried, but a friend of mine had this issue so I am suggesting it anyway. Are you sure you need the 304.x version of the drivers? If you have a newer graphics card, then using this older driver may cause problems. You can check this by running nvidia-debugdump
