Hello folks,

Quite new to the kubuntu/kde scene so please bear with me.

I've rebooted and I've lost my "Window" borders. I may have done something silly however.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I then rebooted and now I don't have any buttons. What can I do to remedy this situation?

Thanks,

alex.

if you change window decorations do you see buttons?
systemsettings -> workspace appearance -> window decorations

Sadly this is one of the things that I have already tried, I've tried again and not had any success. I've also tried enabling and disabling desktop effects but to no avail.

did you try configure buttons?

is the title bar correct except for the buttons?

I managed to get my window manager back by doing:

Code: Select all

kwin --replace

Thanks for the help.

I had to do a repair from grub to get the menu back .. somehow both my machines when updated from 4.10(LM15) to 4.11 using ubuntu backports had no (min,max,close) buttons .. i read somewhere that its because of a faulty upgrade of plasma and can be done by repair from grub .. anyway this is what i did ..

*Rebooted
*Booted into repair mode from grub
*Enabled Networking
*used dpkg for repair
*everything was fixed except that panel on my second screen moved into the first

hope it helps

Thanks for that!
The command saved my day when the window decorations for some reason suddenly disappeared.
