HI everyone
I have this strange problem with KDE 2.0.1. Whenever I change my background and background settings and then log out of KDE and go back in, the settings are back to what it was before???
Why is that? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I can see by your later emails that you have straightened this out, but what I did to fix this was edit the script /opt/kde2/bin/startkde and remove all Suse related stuff. They have some stuff in there that ends up recreating your ~/.kde2 everytime you boot KDE2. I think the idea would be to create ~/.kde directory and defaults one time and not touch it again, but it does it everytime.
In fact you don't need to remove all SuSE related stuf. THere are two lines that cause errors (and as a consequence recreation of .kde2). Depending of the user (root or not) one or the other is being executed. These lines are: # # create SuSE defaults # if [ "$USER" == "root" ]; then # # The next line normally causes an error, it works fine if shortened as: [ -e "$HOME/.kde2" ] || copy_SuSE_default_root "${kdehome}" else [ -e "${desktop}" ] || create_default_desktop "${desktop}" # # again the commented line would cause an error, I replaced it with the following. # [ -e "$HOME/.skel/kdebase" && ! -e "$HOME/.kde2" ] || copy_SuSE_default_user "${kdehome}" [ -e "$HOME/.kde2" ] || copy_SuSE_default_user "${kdehome}" fi Andreas -- Prof. Dr. Andreas J.
