KDE lost of settings: "State" field corrupted in all rc files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, Kubuntu 12.04 Kde 4.8.4 32 bit 

Interesting thing this morning:
I power up my compute and almost every programm open as if KDE would be freshly installed and it  would be the first time I open the programm.
Needless to say, there was no update yesterday and ervything worked fine when I shut down the computer yesterday evening

Very annoying because it means all your personal settings are lost.... 
in a short list 

Background color of kde
Activities
Amarok collection
The podcast list
All id3 tags you have modified within amarok
Amarok internal database playlist  
Amarok .xspf saved playlist
Kdevelop settinggs ....
All Akregator podcasts (although, there IS a feeds.opml file in ~/.kde/share/apps/akregator   .... which DOES contain all RSS url I had ...)
Kmail settings (all your accounts)

etc...


So, it looks like it is not reading all rc configuration files (those stored in ~/.kde/share/config) because all information it lacks are usually given in those files

Hence I open a couple of rc files and I find an interesting thing:
In each of them, under the [Mainwindow] section there ist something like

State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAwAAAAAAAAE4AAAB1PwCAAAAAfsAAAAOAE0AbwBkAGUA[...]  I spare you the rest, this continue like that for long

I guess this is not the true state... but a corrupted field. Interesting is that it looks corrupted for all rc files I have open so far, even those of programm that I did not open for a while now.

Anyone know something about where it comes from and how to solve it ?
