i don’t know what happened but when i booted into my computer today … my kde taskbar is not showing me the minimized programs …
any solutions ?
Are the desktop effects disabled?
Is the Compositor disabled?
If one of the above is yes, then re-enable one or both.

my bad mate … i found the solution … i accidentally removed the task bar widget
thanks for sparing your time though
Okay, so first you need to setup a clean build environment and grab all the compile tools from the official software repositories, including git.
What we’re going to do is compile the latest Plasma and kde-framework from source and apply a patch from March 22 that’s still in the testing branch.
Steps 1 through 16 will be setting up your build environment. Steps 17 through 22 will involve compiling and patching the KDE libraries and the latest -dev version of the taskbar. Steps 23 through 30 will involve replacing the installed libraries and applications with everything from Steps 1 through 22, while making a backup of your current system to a remote cloud server. After which, we’ll reboot into your updated system, then test if this shows icons in your taskbar of minimized apps.
Alright, you ready? Here we go!
- pacman -S git gcc make
- mkdir $HOME/kde-patches
- cd $HOME/kde-patches
- git clo-, wait…
…or that.
Even if he did not removed by mistake his task bar widget, why the hell would you recommend to recompile the whole Plasma framework from source and applying a random patch?
Or was that some kind of a joke I didn’t get?
It was a joke. See the ironic smiley at the end of his post
