Hi, I am unable to get Konsole to retain my setting for how to deal with the Bell (CTRL-G). Every time Konsole is restarted (upon login as part of my remembered session), the Bell setting reverts to "System Bell" and I have to manually change it, on a tab-by-tab basis, to "System Notification". I found I had the same problem with the history setting reverting from the 5000 I'd set to 1000 (possibly a default, possibly a change I had made earlier) but by editing the Konsole "rc" file ("$HOME/.kde/share/config/konsolerc"), but that technique does not seem to be working with the Bell problem. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is there a known work-around? Thanks. Randall Schulz

In konsole, use Settings->Save as default to save the settings and make them be the default when you start a new konsole window. You can also create different schemes if you want different konsole settings for different purposes

D'Oh! How come some things (e.g., the tabs, their names and the kind of session they hold) are remembered automatically when one logs out while others (scrollback history size or bell dispensation, e.g.) are not?

Thanks for the information. Randall "Homer" Schulz

However, now that I've tried it, I find that upon restarting Konsole, the Bell dispensation is reset to "System Bell." I can see the change written to "~/.kde/share/config/konsolerc", but it seems to be disregarded at start-up. Randal Schulz

<debug mode=on> It seems that konsole reads a config file that doesn't seem to be used. Don't know why. Create $HOME/.kde/share/config/kcmartsrc with the following contents. [Arts] StartServer=true After that, konsole will remember the bell setting

Slight correction. kcmartsrc is used, it's just not needed if you're fine with the default settings. konsole needs the config file though, for the bell setting.

Thanks for that tip, it finally solved the problem. I really dislike having to reapply settings like that. How do you learn about these things, by reading the source code? I used "strings" to examine the konsole executable, but could not find that string (actually, I searched for "mart": "strings /opt/kde3/bin/konsole | egrep mart"). Ah... The "konsole" executable is some kind of stub for "/opt/kde3/lib/libkdeinit_konsole.so", where the string kcmartsrc is indeed found. This migration of the bulk of the konsole functionality into a shared object is to permit it to be embedded in other applications, I take it? Thanks again. Randall Schulz

One further note on the usage of kcmartsrc: % egrep -Rl kcmartsrc /opt/kde3/bin /opt/kde3/lib /opt/kde3/bin/amarokapp /opt/kde3/bin/startkde.theme /opt/kde3/lib/libartskde.so /opt/kde3/lib/libartskde.so.1 /opt/kde3/lib/libartskde.so.1.2.0 /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/knotify.so /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kcm_arts.so /opt/kde3/lib/libkdeinit_konsole.so /opt/kde3/lib/libnoatun.so /opt/kde3/lib/libnoatun.so.1 /opt/kde3/lib/libnoatun.so.1.2.0 Randall Schulz

That's how I solved this, yes

Yes, konsole is a kpart, so it can be embedded just about anywhere
