    Saving edits to the kmenu doesn't work

    I found a lot of information regarding this problem but no good solutions. It's most likely a permissions problem. I checked my home directory and /var/tmp (hidden directories too) and group ownership is good, nothing owned by root. I also tried creating a new user and results were the same. I can delete items from the kmenu and save them but adding new items is a no-go.

    Grant,
    Which version of Kubuntu are you using?

    I am using Kubuntu 9.04 with the latest updates and have no problem adding entries to the menu. I right mouse on the K icon in the left side of the tool panel and select "Edit Menu".

    Have you edited your account entry using Kuser?

      Re: Saving edits to the kmenu doesn't work

      I'm on the latest Alpha release, Alpha 6, fresh install on a test partition. I was using the context menu to launch the kmenu editor. It lets me edit entries but none of the changes are saved. I was trying to add an entry for Intellij IDEA under the Development sub-menu.

      I do think the problem is permissions based but not of my own doing. I created a new user after I experienced the problem with my default user account and observed the same behaviour. I have not tried editing as root but I bet it works. I poked around the KDE forums and found one or two posts about a bug. Any ideas?

        I upgraded everything today and that got rid of the kmenu issue. I'm able to edit with the latest packages from the repository. The auto detection is working a little better too. When I installed Alpha 6 on a T61 Lenovo (Intel 965) with an external VGA plugged in I got a black screen when booting KDE. I got rid of it by upgrading from the repository after a restart. I still have to reset my screen resolution every time I restart but that's fine for an Alpha release. I'm looking forward to the final release. I'm liking KDE 4.2 and Kubuntu after running 3.5 on a Gentoo system for a long time.
