Topic: KDE: can't start tiling editor
Replies: 6
Views: 7331

it probably came from an older Plasma version, my installation on this box is 5-6 years old, so I definitely went through Plasma 5->6 migration. I don't see relevant setting in the UI too. There's also a lot of legacy-looking stuff in my kwinrc.

Anyway, changing this line to "true" fixed my issue.

KDE: can't start tiling editor

I'm running KDE 6.3.5 on X11 and for some reason I can't activate the tiling editor.

I don't see anything about tiling in Settings->Window Management->Desktop Effects
I see "Toggle Tiles Editor" in Keyboard->Shortcuts->KWin, pressing this combination does nothing
I can see 3 pre-arranged tiles when ...

media controls not working in KDE

Not sure if this belongs to Multimedia or KDE.
One of the recent KDE updates broke multimedia buttons for me, specifically MPRIS integration seems to be half-broken.
I have an MPRIS-compatible player (ncsopt) running, dbus can see it and it properly reacts to `org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause ...

re mdev vs udev -- I might be mixing them up, I don't know what genkernel is using internally.
But anyways, 4.1.0 solved the issue. Thanks!

I'm using genkernel 4.0.10, latest stable. Should I unmask and try 4.1.0?
By some reason my current version tries to mount root before starting udev I think. Visually there's much fewer logging happening before it tries to mount root, compared to what I was getting when it was working fine.

[solved] no /dev/disk/by-uuid on boot

Hi

My system stopped propagating `/dev/disk/by-uuid` on boot, and so root volume can't be found. The only thing I see in the rescue shell is `/dev/disk/by-id`.
`by-uuid` gets created later, when udev starts I guess.

I'm building my kernel using `genkernel --disklabel all`

What am I missing?

thanks
