Hi

I've upgraded my Fedora 21 to 23 (KDE spin).
After that the switching between applications does not work any more.

I've tried to reinstall Fedora 23 from fresh - but keeping my /home partition. Alt+Tab still does not work

If I go into the settings for Global short cuts, I can see that they are defined (Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab). I removed the definitions and applied the changes and reapplied my original settings. It still does not work.

Since I kept my /home I guess that it is something in the configuration for the user - but where do I look to get my hands on the correct configuration file?

Or is there a way to get some debug information out of the system, that can lead me to where something goes wrong?

try switching the visualization used in systemsettings (iirc not all worked for me), also test a new user to ensure it's not a system issue

I can't find anything virtualisation in system settings.

But I have created a new user and it works in there.

Hey google01103 thanks for that input.

That dialogue is dimmed, so there is probably something wrong with the underlying settings file. Do you know which one to look into?

run (from konsole) "kcmshell5 kwintabbox", but I really cannot imagine why that dialog should be disabled.
if you mean only that item - there's a checkbox ahead, a visual tabbox isn't mandatory for switching.

Hi, luebking

i've just shut that laptop down. But when selecting "Window Management-> Task Switcher" the dialogue is dead. The rest seems to be ok.

I'll look into it tomorrow, sometime.

Thanks for your input.

I've finally came back to my work desk and tried the kcmshell5 command. The dialogue is dimmed.

I am wondering which file(s) I can delete or edit to get my KDE to work as it used to.

can you please upload a screenshot?

I've finally solved the problem by renaming the .config directory. That brought back the usual functionality. Of course I lost a lot of settings and had to spend another day reconfiguring the desktop to my needs.

So I cannot at this point redo the problem, but I have all the files, so if somebody knows which file to look into it may be possible to recreate the problem by copying it over into the new .config folder.

try kwinrc

Alt-tabbing does not work anymore here either, on Archlinux and Plasma 5.5.4. I'm pretty sure it worked in 5.5.3.

what have you done to test/solve the issue? see previous posts in this thread

In order to make my laptop work as expected I renamed the .config folder and let the KDE create a new one. Then I move a few settings from programs that takes quite long time to re-build its settings.

seems a bit extreme, haven't tested this but seems deleting kwinrc and then restarting kwin_x11

Code: Select all

kwin_x11 --replace

would work
