New 14.04.1 Install - Problem With KATE Editor...

[kubicle]

Thanks! I did what you originally suggested and rebooted and now my desktop and panel are gone?
How I recover my system without reinstalling from DVD?

I'd recommend the following:
1. In the login screen press Ctrl+Alt+F6 to get to a text terminal
2. login
3. move your old .kde directory out of the way "mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.old"
4. logout from the terminal "exit"
5. press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the graphical login screen
6. log into kde (kde should recreate a new "clean" .kde)

You'll lose your user configs (you already lost them, though), but you should get back a "default kde". Once you have confirmed you have your kde back, you can remove the ~/.kde.old directory

Thank you for correcting me kubicle! I've corrected my post.

Still a hair off the target

rm -r ~/.kde/share/config/kate --> rm ~/.kde/share/config/kate*

rm -r ~/.kde/share/config/kate --> rm ~/.kde/share/config/kate*

Not really. Either will accomplish the same same thing.

Hi,

I just had to recreate my custom panel, everything is back to the way it was.
Funny though that KATE still refuses to put [Save All] in toolbar?
Guess I should just be happy with it...

Not really:
rm -r ~/.kde/share/config/kate
would remove directory "kate" and all subdirectories/files (but there is no directory ~/.kde/share/config/kate and the command does nothing)

While
rm ~/.kde/share/config/kate*
would remove all files that start with "kate" in the directory ~/.kde/share/config

My sincerest apologies for my 'mistake'. Glad that it wasn't a difficult fix to get things back to normal.

Can you post the contents of .kde/share/apps/kate/kateui.rc

rm -r ~/.kde/share/config/kate

Well, dunce me twice.

You are correct. I have to *read* what's written more closely.

Hi,

It's now working, must have been fixed in a recent update.
I have [Save All] in the toolbar now.
