Hi list,This question should probably go to enterprise@xxxxxxx, but it seems there was no activity there since 2019. Also, I already asked on discuss.kde.org (https://discuss.kde.org/t/can-not-configure-plasma-bottom-panel-nor-dolphin-with-kiosk/329), but I got no answers yet.
I am trying to configure some default settings to be able to deploy KDE. I am doing my tests with Debian “hopefully-soon-stable” 12 (Plasma 5.27.2). I follow the kiosk mode documentation, and it works properly for some settings (night color, baloo search, power management, Discover).
However, I have very strange results when trying to configure the bottom panel:
- From a new user with default settings, I customize the panel (changing some applications shortcuts, disabling clipboard) - Using `fswatch`, I could determine that the relevant configuration file is `~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc` - If I copy this file to `/etc/xdg/`, my settings are not applied to new users (while it works for other files like `kscreenlockerrc`) - As a workaround, if I copy this file to `/etc/skel/.config/`, settings are applied to new users BUT the panel gets a height of 30 instead of 44 (the default).
Also, a somewhat similar issue is for configuring Dolphin (toolbar, left panel, right panel, detailed view by default):
- I found that the relevant files is `~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/dolphin/dolphinui.rc` (strangely `/etc/dolphinrc` does not seem to contain the settings I am interested in) - If I copy this file to `/etc/xdg/dolphinui.rc`, my settings are not applied for new users - After copying this file to `/etc/skel/.local/share/kxmlgui5/dolphin/dolphinui.rc`, settings are indeed applied to new users except “overview in right panel” and “detailed view by default”
What am I doing wrong? I suppose I missed something from the documentation, but could not find what. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Regards, Yvan
