Fixing up KDE 3.0

duaux · 04-20-2002, 02:20 PM

not a life or death question... however i do want to get it resolved...

i installed KDE3.0 "ok"... however each time i start it up, it always asks me to customize my settings again?

that wizard thingy wont go away!!!

but it still remembers my settings from past sessions, all i can do at the moment is cancel the wizard and just loads KDE3 fine after that...

any fixes???

ie. disable that anoying wizard?

thx.

I think the very latest kde3 rpms addresss this issue. or, make sure
your ~/.kde3/share/config/kpersonalizerrc has this in it:

[General]
FirstLogin=false

Try this
found in NS group

so this was actually a BUG that gets addressed?

im such a dumbass!!!

well anyways, we couldnt fix it by address the kpersonalisor file... bc share folder is not found at all in .kde3.

**yes i ahve unhidden the files/folders..

same here...Mandrake 8.2 with KDE 3.0.2.

i've spent countless hours just trying to get it to default to KDE (though it ended up being quite easy) and now i get that customization box when i start.
hopefully someone's cracked it...anyone?....anyone?

The quickest fix I have found is to use Fluxbox

You should be able to fix

Quote:

your ~/.kde3/share/config/kpersonalizerrc ...

If you do not have the kpersonalizerrc file in your normal user home directory (you DO have a "normal" user, you are NOT loggin in as root, RIGHT?

) , do a search for it by entering:

find / -n kpersonalizerrc

That will start the find program and it will start at the root directory and look in all subdirectories for a file named "kpersonailzerrc". Note all the instances of that file and in each instance add the text quoted above and save each file:

[General]
FirstLogin=false
