[SOLVED] Missing tiling option in KDE

Hello to everyone!
I installed arch on my new Dell Precision M4800 along with KDE desktop (kdebase package).
Installation went very well and i get working KDE desktop.
But if found that under System Settings > Window Behavior > Advanced  there is no option for Window Tiling.
Am i missing any package ?
How do i get tiling option there ?
Also sometimes KDE doesn't open any application even System Settings window.
Regardless of multiple click no any window appear on screen. I happened two times till now.
I have to restart to get it working again.
Does it also happen with any of you?

Go to "Kwin scripts" and select "Get New Scripts" (on the top-right) and download the "Tiling" script (by faho).
Also, replace that massive image with a thumbnail link plz -- some of us have metered connections...
I downloaded that script it started tiling windows, but still there is no option for tiling in System Settings > Window Behavior > Advanced
My another laptop with Debian Wheezy and KDE 4.8 has that option. There i can enable/disable tiling, set tiling mode to Columns, Spiral etc.
I want to bring back same tiling option as i have on another laptop.
It is KDE 4.14.3. I am sure tiling option is natively supported in KDE 4.8 and up, but just not showing option there.
I guess i am missing any package, but do not know which one.
And i replaced that image with thumbnail. I will remember it for future.

  • Missing PDF Options in Acrobat Pro 8

    For some reason, on some machines in the office "PDF Options" is missing when we try to print to the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer under OS X 10.4.10. Both machines are Intel-based.
    Two of the machines in the office have the option, two don't.
    We thought it was something specific to these machines. Then yesterday, on a brand new MacBook Pro, we reinstalled a user's license from the DVD and the same thing happened: no PDF Options. This machine had been used for two days. Microsoft Office 2004 installed, Firefox and that's it - otherwise bog standard. Never had an Adobe product on it, never had Acrobat on it. Updated to 8.1.1, no change.
    We've tried completely uninstalling, trashing all the Adobe and Acrobat-related items in /Library and ~/Library, same with prefs. We've searched the entire machine for any string that includes 'adobe' or 'acrobat' and trashed them, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled (re-serialising in the process). We've reset the printing system and added the printers back.
    We've cleaned the cache files (using AppleJack, a great little utility), repaired permissions, reinstalled the 10.4.10 Combo Updater, DiskWarriored the machine.
    We're tearing our hair out, because in our office, this option is vital to the daily work flow.
    Is anyone else seeing this? Anyone got a reliable fix?

    I "think" that there may be a way to correct this, but it's at your own peril if it doesn't. Then again what have you got to lose? Here is something from another public forum. It's about Acrobat 6.x and 7.x but it sounds like the same issue. If you decide to try this and it works let us know.

    Re: Acrobat 7 Pro: missing PDF Options menu in all applications
    Hi all,
    I solved this error with Acrobat 7 by deleting the com.adobe.print.AdobePDF7 folder from the user library preferences. It may be missed by those who are deleting preferences because it is not grouped with the com.adobe.acrobat.xxx.plist files.
    The equivalent folder for Acrobat 6 is called com.adobe.print.AdobePDF located in the users home library preference folder.
    I hope this helps.
    Best,
    John"

  • Dictionary missing all options but Wikipedia

    I just installed Leopard on my iMac G5 and Powerbook G4. Both Dictionaries are version 2.0. On the iMac I have 4 dictionary choices (New Oxford, Oxford Thesaurus, Apple, and Wikipedia), whereas on the Powerbook there is just Wikepedia, which only works when online.
    Any ideas why this difference, given the identical upgrade?
    Thanks much,
    John

    Thanks. I just tried updating Quicktime and you were right that I did need to update. But unfortunately it has not solved the problem. I am still missing all options for encoding in DVD. Media Encoder also failed to export .h264 for Vimeo this morning - created some very messy-looking files. I'm not sure what is going on, but I'd love it if someone could help me fix it. I'm (of course) in the middle of a big project and supposed to deliver in DVD.
    Thanks

  • Missing Menu Options in Flash Builder

    I encountered a mystery surrounding several missing menu options in  one of my Flash Builder workspaces recently. I wanted to create a new  skin for a List control so I right-clicked on my skins folder and looked  for the New MXML Skin option. And I looked. And I looked some more. But  it wasn't there.
    I happened to have another copy of Flash Builder open in another  workspace so I gave it a try in that project. Sure enough, the New MXML  Skin option was there along with a couple of other options that were  missing in the first workspace. Here's a list of the menu options  missing from the File --> New menu in this workspace:
    Flash Professional Project
    MXML Item Renderer
    MXML Skin
    I'm not sure why those menu options went missing but I was able to  work around it by recreating the workspace. I simply created a new  workspace, copied all of the projects into the new workspace folder and  then imported all of my projects into the new folder. I then had a full  set of menu items.
    I poked around a bit trying to figure out what went wrong but wasn't  able to find a conclusive answer. My best guess is that it has something  to do with the fact that I was previously running the Flex 4 beta and  that's when I created the workspace with the problem. I compared the  workspace .metadata folder and, curiously, there were 25 folders inside  the .plugins folder for the problem workspace but only 12 for the newly  created one.

    This is an eclipse thingy, menus get cached in the workspace' metadata. If you try using a newer build of Flash Builder with a workspace from the previous version, you may notice this behavior.
    The workaround is to create a new workspace and import all projects there.

  • I am missing Insert options in Dreamweaver CS6. Where do I find header and navigation?

    I am missing Insert options in Dreamweaver CS6. Where do I find header and navigation?

    A lot changed between DWCS6 and DWCS6 Cloud. You need to make sure you are using tutorials/resources built for Version 12.0x.
    IIRC, "Structure" is the new name for "Layout"
    Dreamweaver Help | Removed features | Dreamweaver CC
    EDIT: Development of the perpetual license version of DWCS6 has stopped. There is no way to add that into the version of the program you have. To get those options, you would need a Cloud Subscription where you can get DWCS6 Cloud, DWCC and DWCC2014.x (all three can be installed at the same time, they just won't run at the same time).

  • Missing imovie options in File Analyze Video

    How do I enable the "People Finder" option in iMovie '11?  When I select "File" the only option for analysis is "Analyze for Stabilization".  I don't know if I am missing other options, too.
    Checking this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/12472264#12472264), I verified I DO have the "Show Advanced Tools" enabled.

    That indicates where the problem reside.
    A. reg downloading iMovie - Have no idea - my are on a iLife DVD
    B. BUT - try this first
    • Start a new User account
    • Log into this
    • Now try iMovie
    If the tools are OK here - then the problem to 99.5% resides in a bad pref file
    If so - You need to trash MORE
    • Delete iMovie pref. file
    iMovie pref. file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/ "Your account" /Library/Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    com.apple.iMovie9.plist
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
    ( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
    or - do like this.
    On the Finder window at the top left of the screen,
    Hold down the Option key and clicked on Go.
    This allowed You to see the Library folder and select it.
    Then keep the Option button pressed down in order to see and select the Library folder.
    Once found it, You are able to navigate to the iMovie preferences file and move it to the trash.  iMovie then start’s up fine!

  • Option of KDE/Openbox in kdm unavailable

    I realize there is a desktop environments section, but I figure that I'd fit in here better, seeing that I installed Arch yesterday. 
    Just in case anyone wants to link me the wiki, that's what I followed to get to this point. 
    So basically, when I boot up in kdm, the options for KDE and Openbox are both there, and I can login (the term eludes me) to each of them, and they work and whatever.  However, KDE/Openbox is just not there.  I have also tried changing the ~/.xinitrc file to exec openbox-kde-session and "xinit /usr/bin/openbox-kde-session", but (as far as I know) it merely boots into KDE. 
    I may be wrong about openbox-kde-session and am just not noticing anything different between openbox-kde-session and kde, but there really seems to be no difference.
    How do I resolve this?

    Ah, ok.  That would make sense, since I don't plan on using KDE's default window manager anyway.  Thanks.

  • Enabling shutdown options on KDE with no KDM

    ive googled and tried my best, but couldnt find a solution for that - is there any way to allow shutdown/restart options from KDE without using KDM(/GDM/XDM/etc)? on xfce, to enable the shutdown options all that was needed was sudo. but for KDE its not enough... any ideas?

    Lone_Wolf:
    Actually, i _am_ looking for shutting down the all system - this is what the shutdown option in kde logout dialog allows you to. when using kdm, you can restart (system), shutdown (system), logout (session). without kdm, only logout is allowed, which is not enough, mainly for a live cd user who most likely would like to restart his system (or at least shutdown...).
    Since i dislike the idea of having an icon on the desktop todo the shutdown, i might make an icon on the traybar, but i really think that the shutdown/restart should be part of the kde-desktop and not kdm. imho though...
    [edit]on a second thought, maybe i'll just use kdm and thats it. i dont have the time nor energy to play with this stuff any longer. [/edit]

  • Missing Job Options

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but a search does not seem to turn up much.
    I'm missing job options on Adobe Distiller 9 Pro. Here are my stats:
    G5 1.8ghz, 4gb RAM OSX 10.4.11.
    Acrobat 9.1.3 Pro
    We just purchased this upgrade yesterday, downloaded and installed. Previously we had Acrobat 6.0 Pro. My problem is that anytime I start Adobe Distiller I get only two joboptions: PDFX1a 2001.joboptions and PDFX3 2002.joboptions.
    All other joboptions do not show. I can see the rest of the job options in the following location: Macintosh HD>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Adobe PDF>Settings
    I have tried fixing/changing permissions. I have tried deleting this folder. When I delete, Adobe Distiller recreates all job options, but I still cannot see more than the 2 previously mentioned job options. I can delete the following folder which Adobe Distiller recreates: Macintosh HD>Users>~username>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Adobe PDF>Settings. This folder is empty when created. I can copy job options to that folder; Adobe Distiller still only sees 2 job options.
    When saving a new job option in to either location I get an error. If I save to the desktop and copy into either location Adobe Distiller will then recognize the new job option. Someone else on another forum had  a similar issue which is how I was able to find out that I could save and move.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to force Adobe Distiller to recognize these missing joboptions? I would really rather not have to recreate them if I don't have to.
    Additional info that I think may be pertinent to this:
    I suspect that this is a permissions issue related to the following: My user account is a network account. We have a Windows 2003 SBS server running Active Directory. Our usernames (and therefore shortnames) are standard. First Name period Last Name. Ie., Erik.Youngren   I have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on my PB G4, but my user account here is a local account with no period in the shortname. No issues on the PB.
    But if this is the case, why would Distiller then see the newly created joboptions when copied into the Settings folders?
    I'm out of ideas!

    Well. For anyone else who may run across this issue. Further googling came up with someone else's issue on Windows, whereby installing Acro 9 while earlier versions of Acrobat were still on the HD led to incompleteness and instability.
    Actually. That's a windows only thing. You can run all the versions you want on a Mac.
    The fix must have had something to do with the reinstall.
    Actually, there is one exception Graf.
    if you have multiple versions of Acrobat installed, you may run into a problem where two or more copies of the AdobePDF Driver file installed. The problem stems from the fact because of the way Adobe names the AdobePDF with such names as AdobePDF 7.123 and adobePDF 8.056 and so on it has a a unique name and therefore is added to Print driver list. But when its shown in the Printer list you have something like :
    AdobePDF 9.0
    AdobePDF 8.0
    HEWLET-PACKARD DESKJET 990CSE
    LABELWRITER 400
    the problem arises in regardless of which one you choose you end up making double copies of the PDF. I've had this happen to myself.
    the cure is to remove any and all versions of AdobePDF from Printer Utility, then Open the newest version of acrobat and have it repair installation. (Install the Adobe PDF Driver).
    All older versions can use the newer version because it has all the new features plus all the old features. However, while an older version may work any features that came out after will not work.

  • Missing "Evdev-managed keyboard" option in KDE

    I've been trying to solve some outstanding keyboard config issues. Right now, I have some keys which don't do anything and which don't even seem to be properly recognised by the X server. (Judging by output using xev.)
    I'm using KDE and I found the recommendation on the KDE configuration page of Arch's wiki to set the keyboard layout to "Evdev-managed keyboard". Googling also suggestions this might be the solution.
    However, when I look at the list in the drop-down menu of System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard > Hardware > Keyboard model, I can't find anything which looks like this option. I'm using the default Arch config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and it is obvious from that that evdev _should_ be managing my keyboard.
    Can anybody tell me what I'm missing? Where can I find this option?
    The option isn't listed in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst or /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst which do seem to match other options in the menu. So I assume it should be added automatically by KDE? Or does its absence show there is something wrong with my setup/installation at some point?
    Thanks for any hints. (I am afraid I am asking a lot of questions right now!)

    It is definitely not the locale issue in my case - my locales are set properly and the output of locale is as expected.
    No, I haven't found a solution. I'm beginning to suspect it is a bug or something odd about the interaction between KDE and Arch somehow. I had this problem on pretty much a new install and my installation is not "generally messed up" so far as I can tell. (I am just starting to get it configured a little more comfortably but have a ways to go.)
    I would be very grateful for any hints, pointers, suggestions, solutions, tea or sympathy available.
