Bug after bug

Just installed 64bit kubuntu desktop wine will not install from system settings advanced and even after installing wine with apt-get it is not seen in systems settings advanced. I keep getting errors when ever I open my home folder and open any other folder inside,

Will not save configuration.
Configuration file "/home/kevin/.kde/share/config/kio_thumbnailrc" not writable.
Please contact your system administrator

Hope this files not essential (kio_thumbnailrc) but removing it seems to have removed the annoying pop-up if its a needed file hope someone lets me know.

I think this is one of the gotchas of using sudo. If you type (for example) 'sudo konqueror' you end up with this situation. What happens is that some of the configuration files in your home directory become owned by root, and you can't write to them any more. What you have to do is check all the files in ~/.kde/share/config and reassign them to yourself:

sudo chown username:username <filename>

where username is of course your actual user name.
