Exactly
Read my other comment. Maybe this is the breeze setting that does not have any way to change layout at the logging screen. Also I suggest you to reboot your VM after these changes you made
Didn't work.
This issue seems to be resolved now, but the only layouts that I can switch between are the ones I manually set in the settings of the OS after I managed to change the login screen to a different one that allowed me to input the password in English.
This is weird, considering that on the previous installation, without having to manually set multiple layouts, I was able to switch between different layouts, but only outside of the 'bad' login screen. For clarity: the 'bad' login screen currently does allow me to switch between different layouts.
Also, in case you wouldn't mind helping me with this other thing that is outside the scope of the initial complaint: where do I find the KDE cube options? It doesn't seem to be in the Window management options, nor do I see a downloadable version of the such. The KDE plasma version is 6.0.5.
I'm glad you solved!
Well, I may take a look, but I'm not a KDE user at all. I'm on Gnome for over 5 years already.
Try Settings > Window Management > Desktop Effects > "Windows Management" section > Overview and configure it.
However looks like to make it work, you should have at least 3 virtual desktops.
I suggest you to open a new thread with this question, cause I really don't know enough about KDE
The problem is that there is no such option there, which is why I'm asking.
It seems that I need to install
kdeplasma-addons
. I will need to look into how people usually usepacman
, as it keeps asking me to login asroot
.To use pacman you must have root permissions. You can do this by using
sudo
.If your installation is correct, you must just use
sudo pacman -S kdeplasma-addons
sudo
is a command that escalates your user's privileges to haveroot
powerpacman -S
installs a packageI was wondering what I was doing wrong with
sudo
.And did u find out?
Yeah, I was trying to do stuff like
sudo install
. I was not aware that it is used in combination with other commands like that.
