KDE-update overwrote my settings
Hi list, I am running debian testing, Sadly to tell, that my latest KDE update did overwrite my personal setting in kde. This included the following things: - wallpaper was set to standard - all widgets were gone and had to reactivate manually (although, they were shown as installed) - icon size in taskbar is changed to big (48) and cannot decreased any more - powerdevil: option profiles disappeared (I already sent a bugreport for this) I suppose, this should not happen, as one of debians rules is, never to change personal settings. I suppose, this is a bug! I would be happy to file a bugreport, but I do not know, what is responsible for it. I guess, it is the packagers team, but I cannot prove. Does someone know more? Besides, this happens on all of my machines (amd64 and i386). Thank you for reading this. Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I think the two first are bugs, but only ones that will be solved if they can be reproduced. The last one seems like a new interesting feature. And sometimes upgrades does change bits and pieces in the configuration parameters they actually accept. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

After upgrade I have moved ~/.kde to ~/.kde old and copied some config files from old one to new. This is only then when Plasma restored it's default wallpaper and all my plasmoids disappeared, but I am sure it was caused by not copying SomeImportantConfigFile. Anyway, I was able to restore part of plasmoids by checking content of ~/.kde/share/config/activitymanagerrc and plasma-desktop-appletsrc (in the same dir). They are pretty understandable if you are familiar with manual config file editing. I recommend to modify them when KDE is not running. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bugs that aren't packaging bugs, we prefer them going to upstream. Else we end up being proxies for questions from upstream to you and replies /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: KDE-update overwrote my settings
Hi, this happened to me as well, but I solved it by upgrading to sid so I assumed it was some incomplete migration into testing... greetings, Alejandro.

I will report to upstream, then. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
