Saving sessions manually - Missing menu item / icon / button?

[marcopl]

Guys,

How do i save a session manually so that it can be restored when i switch on my laptop again. from previous posts here , i understand this was a bug (missing feature ) and that it is available under kickoff -> leave.

I cant find it in mine. is there anything i have to install?

Re: Saving sessions manually - Missing menu item / icon / button?

To enable: System Settings > Advanced > Session Manager : Restore manually saved session (+Apply)

May take some time (> [Bug 182662] No mechanism for user to save KDE session (KDE4.2))

...When I just tried setting it, it took a little while for the change to
be registered by Kickoff, but the option did appear....

After a short wait: K > Leave > Save Session



Are you using the "Kickoff Menu Style" or the "the Classical Menu Style" ?

The Classical Menu Style don't have the "Save Session" option.

... and from the command line:

Save Session:

qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.saveCurrentSession

Save Session As:

qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.saveCurrentSessionAs Name_Here

Settings will be saved at:
~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc
