Collective using programs on KDE3

Bob Marley · 09-27-2008, 01:17 PM

I have 2 users in my Kubuntu system, Mine and my brother`s. We want to use some programs in same settings. Especially Ktorrent and VirtualBox. For example, in Ktorrent, when I started a download, that must continue in my brother`s profile. We tried symbolic link between users' ".Ktorrent" folders but it did not work. So what should we do?

this is not good error description. If you have set the permissions properly it should work. A symlink should not be necessary since you can set your torrent folder from within the application.

However, I would set up a new user (without login shell and such) and copy all shared folders to his /home dir. Then create a new group for the user and add all users, who want to use the shared stuff, to this group as well. This way everyone still has his own folders and cannot break the settings of other people.
