Hi, I have several questions regarding kde 3.2 update from 3.1 and in general. I know that usually you send one mail per question but this are just too many. Questions: 1. Once I installed a screen-saver (Already in 3.1) and now all my screen-savers are gone. The screen-saver I had last still works and turns on but the list is empty. Does anybody know how to fix this? 2. In kopete all my settings got lost when I updated from 3.1 to 3.2 and I have all the plugins twice in the list . Does anybody know which are the right plugins and what I can delete? Also is there a way to get back my settings? 3. Shortcuts. I have a logitech internet navigator keyboard and so have many extra keys to use in KDE. I put a shortcut on one button to be connected with finding files. Now I removed that connection using the control center (KHotkeys) but it still seems to be connected because it still starts the application if I press the button. On the other hand it doesn't show the connection anywhere. Does anybody know how to check the text configuration file? 4. I haven't gotten for found an answer for the Kmenu settings yet and the documention also haven't improved. Does anybody know where or what all the definitions of the % signs are. I know that %u is the url and it seems that %f is the file. But there is %c %i and so on. Is there any meaning? 5. What are example terminal settings that one can enter in the kmenu editor? 6.KsCD stopped working for me after the upgrade to 3.2. Does anybody have the same problem? 7. The keyboard layout selection program doesn't work and only show the "err" icon in my taskbar. Any help is appreciated. Thank you Basti

I have a similar/the same problem here. Since the update to KDE 3.2 my control bar was blanked out after the update (missing are kmix, clock, kicker, window list, etc.). I did not find a /home/<user name>/.config. How else can I restore my settings.

A lot of other things unfortunately got messed up as well: window decoration, font sizes, konsole settings, icon size. Just to mention a few which I found so far.

Could anybody explain so that I understand what happened for me to chnge things back.

Thanks

Firstly in the /tmp directory did you remove all the directories/files associated with your user name after doing the update and before logging back in. e.g. /tmp/kde-<user>, /tmp/mcop-<user>, /tmp/ksocket-<user> These directories should be removed after you do any major update to KDE for every user on your system. These directories will be recreated on login. To restore all the settings in the panel you have two options. 1) Either hand edit the panel or 2) try renaming your ~/.kde directory to say ~/.kde.old and relog in. You will loose all setting for things like kmail and bookmarks but these can easily copied from the old ~/.kde.old/share/config/whatever to the new ~/.kde All the other settings can be changed using 'control centre' which is now located under kmenu--->Utilities--->Desktop--->Control Center -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
