I just installed Trisquel 8.0 with KDE. I can't switch windows or close windows. There are no close/enlarge buttons in the corner of the windows. Common keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab Alt+F4 don't do anything.

Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks

Try installing the package 'triskel' to make sure that the entire
desktop environment is installed.

Thank you for your quick reply.

Ok, tried that, didn't work. I ran:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install

But it was fully installed and up-to-date already. I also have triskel-recommended fully installed and up-to-date.

Any more ideas on how I can fix this?

Is this a bug in trisquel 8?

I fixed it!

I had to do

sudo apt install kwin-x11

and restart the laptop. Then I get close / maximise buttons, can switch with Alt+Tab, etc.

This was based on this Q&A https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/261122/kde-5-does-not-have-window-decorations

This seems like a bug in Triskel - surely this package should be installed by default, no?

FYI - the other package suggested in the linked answer (kwin-decoration-oxygen) makes no difference as far as I can tell (I tried it separately).

It would be nice if you would add a "Install KDE" page to the section "VII. Home and office", subsection "Graphic User Interfaces (GUIs)", subsubsection "Installing/Unistalling Desktops" of Trisquel's "All manuals": https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/all-manuals

And on this page too: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/home-and-office

Trisquel's official documentation is a wiki.
