Working inside a VirtualBox virtual machine. Installed Arch Linux using the Archinstall method. Chose KDE as the DE and SDDM as the greeting screen.
Managed to log in once, but after adding a language and rebooting, I didn’t seem to be able to change the keyboard layout, making entering the correct password impossible. I have tried looking up how to switch the keyboard layout, but am coming up with nothing. What is the key combination to change the keyboard layout in SDDM?
Setting up a different virtual machine now.
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-addonssudois a command that escalates your user’s privileges to haverootpowerpacman -Sinstalls 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.
