Accidentally uninstalled an important package in Debian Sid with KDE, transparency no longer working (lemmy.world)

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...

kyoji ,

Are you on BTRFS? If so maybe you could restore to a snapshot prior to the apt upgrade?

I’m not very familiar with Debian, but perhaps there are official “groups” of packages that comprise a set of softwares, like KDE. Perhaps you could re-install that group, if it exists?

You could also create a new user, log in as that user, and see if the issue persists. If so then you’ll know it’s a system wide issue. If not, then maybe you could migrate to the new user?

Good luck!

Great post, thanks!

It’s been working pretty well for me on GNOME 45 via Fedora 39, much fewer issues compared to GNOME 44

I really like them, along with all the other repetitive types of posts people make. For people who have been using Linux awhile, or have been a part of this community (or any Linux community really) they get a bit old, sure, but each new post is an opportunity for other new Linux users to learn and contribute.

I think sequestering discussion like this into nicely planned neat boxes like sticky threads or weekly discussions is harmful in the long term. While it may keep the posts in this community “clean” I believe it will reduce interest and turn away fresh blood.

I think those of us who have been using Linux awhile should embrace these posts and view them as opportunities to mentor, and as opportunities to continue to stoke the fires of interest in Linux.

Completely agree, and well said

I think you are suffering culture-shock. The type of user and as a result the overall community around Fedora are far different than Arch’s, which I think might explain some of the pain points you have discovered. Not giving Fedora a pass here, they could do better (especially the missing Xorg issue), but to me it seems rather clear that your expectations and the way you started with Fedora are at odds with the majority of its users.

The AUR and the ArchWiki are phenomenal, and I don’t think any distro including Fedora can compete.

The comparisons with DLSS3 at the very end are very impressive, especially considering there is no special hardware being used.

Hopefully this is simple for developers to implement!

I’ve never heard of WindowLab, very cool!

Container tabs are infinitely more useful than profiles, and easily one of the best features Firefox offers over other browsers
