[opensuse] Personal settings problem in 11.3
Since some days I have run into problems with my personal settings. Information changed in the "Personal Settings(Configure Desktop)" are not saved properly and after a reboot inputs are close to defaults. Running Personal settings gives me a full screen with Opacity 50% without border. If I use Alt + F3 I can change opacity to 100% but as soon as I start using the personal setting opacity returns to 50%. I tried to get the border back but the button for this does not produce anything. I want to renew these settings. A renewal of desktop settings is nowhere offered. Which file should I delete and would a new running of this program automatically renew all settings? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.39-rc6-21-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.3 (4.6.3) 10:35am up 13:32, 3 users, load average: 0.97, 0.96, 0.98 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I guess you are talking about KDE's systemsettings? If so, this would be better off at the opensuse-kde mailinglist. Config-files are kept in ~/.kde4/share/config, so everything you move away from that folder is re-created the next time you start the app the moved file belongs to. Did you try with a new user? If saving the session etc. works for that user it's the config but if it does not work either there is some other issue, e.g. packages from different repos not matching, permissions issue etc. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It's called 'Personal Settings', right there on the Kmenu.
If so, this would be better off at the opensuse-kde mailinglist.
So nothing anymore can possibly have anything to do with opensuse then, correct? Opensuse doesn't make little changes here and there to make things work in their distro a certain way? The way it sounds when you say it like that above, an opensuse mailing list is a waste of time and resources and should be taken off the servers for some better purpose. -- "Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived." -Isaac Asimov -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's the *menu* name, the program name is systemsettings.

openSUSE is comprised of more than one desktop environment, not just kde, and items *specifically* related to kde will be better addressed in a forum which is specific to that environment. I believe you were being advised in a helpful manner, not being admonished for not selecting a more fitting forum. Have a frosty brew and cool down a bit and enjoy.

And, how, why, where, do you suppose the post was meant for *you*?

there is also the opensuse-kde mailing list, at opensuse-kde@opensuse.org, for distro-specific KDE issues. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
