Hi everyone, I ran apt full-upgrade last month and accidentally deleted a couple packages that weren’t supposed to be removed, due to me not paying enough attention. I could recover most of the system just fine, since most of the missing features and related packages were obvious to me. However, I still couldn’t figure out why transparency is not working on KDE, both in Wayland and X. I suspected it could be a missing compositor, but libwayland and libqt6waylandcompositor6 (and related packages) are all installed (and that wouldn’t explain why it isn’t also working on X).
I have attached a screenshot to illustrate what I mean.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me figure out what package might be missing that is causing this issue. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Thank you so much everyone! I finally solved my problem. I just had to replace libqt5quick5-gles
by libqt5quick5
(non gles version).
Commandline: apt install libqt5quick5
Install: libqt5quick5:amd64 (5.15.10+dfsg-2+b2)
Remove: libqt5quick5-gles:amd64 (5.15.10+dfsg-2+b2)
dont install the meta package unless you used it on install. It can cause shenanigans if you aren’t careful, especially with application meta packages.
Or do, im not your mom lol.
Yeah, I tried installing kde-full but it didn’t solve my problem.
There is tasksel in debian to install DEs ig. Maybe try witj that, and also try
reinstall
instead ofinstall
Tasksel seems to be correctly set,
~$ tasksel --list-tasks i desktop Debian desktop environment u gnome-desktop GNOME u xfce-desktop Xfce u gnome-flashback-desktop GNOME Flashback i kde-desktop KDE Plasma u cinnamon-desktop Cinnamon u mate-desktop MATE u lxde-desktop LXDE u lxqt-desktop LXQt u web-server web server u ssh-server SSH server i laptop laptop
I tried
apt reinstall kde-full
, but unfortunately nothing changed.Maybe a bug idk
Indeed it looks like a bug. I finally found a solution, though. Check the main post edit for details.
