[Solved] KDE not working / no window decorations

[Blue]

Hi there,

I've been using Linux Mint for a few month and I'm trying a bunch of DEs 'cuz why not.
Now I'd like to try KDE so I did an:

Code: Select all

apt install kde-plasma-desktop

But when KDE starts I get no window decorations so no way to resize, move, minimize and maximize windows.
As far as I can tell this is a WM problem, but I didn't manage to solve it.

I know I already installed this DE on another computer with the same distribution, and it worked fine at the time.
How can I solve this problem ?

Thanks !

Thanks for the help, but I got it working

For some reason I had to install Kwin manually:

Code: Select all

apt install kwin-x11

That's very strange...
