.kde replaced, now system not happy.

[pnunn]

Hi guys,

I was having troubles with kmail so though as I'd ugrade KED to the latest version I'd replace .kde and see what happened. Sadly, it made no difference, so when I tried to put my saved .kde back, it had vanished (yeh, I know fat fingers). I grabbed a copy from my backup (surprise surprise I had one) and all looked to be OK.

BUT...

Now every time I restart the system, its forgotten the outgoing email password I've asked it to save, the blue tooth pairings have gone etc etc. I'm guessing its a permissions problem somewhere within .kde but I can't find it. Does anyone know where things like passwords for outbound smtp servers etc are stored and accessed? It really is driving me nuts.

Thanks.

Peter.

Could be the .kde is not owned by you, in which case you want to use the chown command with -R so it recursively changes everything. Another possibility would be that you need to delete the credentials in KDE Wallet and create a new one.

You mean the -R flag (case does matter)
