prost Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Previously when I used konqueror I would right click its border at the top & choose no border. The first time this happened I got a message telling me which keys to press to undo it but I didn't record that. I then used the control centre to change to another theme. I was using 2 desktops. This resulted in: being only able to use 1 desktop(even if I change it to 2 in the control centre); no border at the top in all windows; no taskbar buttons for each application. I changed back to the original theme. I have a backup of the .kde folder & would like to restore it to the time before I used the control centre to change to another theme. Which folders do I copy over? How do I get back the top borders? Also I get an error at the start saying can't load /dev/dsp sound. The sound was ok before. I'm using mandriva 2007.

SilverSurfer60 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 To access your window borders press alt+f3. As for the sound problem I can't help without more information, maybe something in your syslog will give us a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prost Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) alt f3 doesn't bring them back. how do I access syslog? Edited November 3, 2008 by prost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 The sound problem is in the process of being solved here. Please use this thread for the display problem - start a new one in Hardware for the sound problem if the other topic doesn't help. Thanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) If you have right clicked on the window border and selected No Border then pressing alt+f3 together should give you the window pop up menu, selecting advanced from the menu you should see the No Border option has a tick beside it. Untick it and you should have the border back. If this does not happen for you I wonder are you using metisse or compiz? Sorry Spinynorman I missed the thread on the sound problem.

prost Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 The top border is missing in all applications, not only konqueror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 The top border is missing in all applications, not only konqueror. Yes it's KDE that draws the windows for all your applications, are you saying alt+f3 doesn't work ? If that is so then you can copy your back-up folder to your home directory and you will be back as you were before changing anything. Don't forget the dot before the folder name. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I copied .kde & the sound is back. A lot easier than following that other thread... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
