I agree that reinstalling will not help. But he may not have to reconfigure everything. My ~/.kde/config has ~450 files, and one of those files is probably causing the trouble that the Hylton has. Using binary search and assuming that copying+starting KDE+shutting down KDE can be done in 1 minute, it would take approx. 9 minutes to single out the config file that is triggering this.
I have had a look on the troublesome machine at the ~./kde directory and there are a few sub directories in there but nothing mentioning config or profile. Should I just rename the ~./kde directory using the root user to ~./kde.2008-12-31? I guess then a login with the troubled user would recreate a new ~./kde directory? Then I need to reconfigure a few of the apps?
Did you spell the names "~./kde" or "~/.kde"? There's a sizeable difference between the two, and you want "~/.kde" not "~./kde".
Tnx Boyd. The directory file is in my home directory so I assume ~/.kde Having a look at ~/ I see there is a /.kde and /.kde4 directory so I guess I should rename both?
Sorry Nordi the 'using binary search' concept flew over my head.
"Binary search" to find problematic files in .kde: 0. Stop KDE....... <snip>
Tnx for the explanation but it would seem the renaming of a directory is FAR easier. :) Regards Hylton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
