    Dryden - 2011-07-07

    I just installed rkward. The first thing I do, of course, is modify the program settings (e.g. "Settings" tab then "Configure rkward"). I modify them, I hit "apply," then "ok." Finally, I closed the application and reopened it and unfortunately none of the settings were saved. I've tried several times, but it never saves. Is there some trick to saving the settings?

    I'm running Ubuntu by the way.

    Thanks.

    Hi!

    Settings should always be saved automatically on exit (unless RKWard crashes). I suspect the problem might be that you do not have write permission to the KDE settings folder inside your home directory. This can happen under some circumstances, e.g. if you run KDE applications as root (esp. when using the -preserve-environment option of su). Try running

    chown --recursive USERNAME:USERNAME ~/.kde
    

    and then try again.

    Let us know, if the problem persists after that.

    Regards
