[SOLVED] Missing tiling option in KDE

samtech09 · 2014-12-10 15:21:44

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.

Thank you guys for helping me!
