Configuration Corrupt
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi ppl,
I've just experienced a very weird configuration crash. I have no idea why it
happened, and no I haven't looked in the configuration code in kdebase very
closely. :)
First, there appears to be no filesystem corruption. It _may_ be due to
malfunctioning of configuration caching. But as I have said I haven't found
any trace of a possible cause. Though, I will be abandoning the
trouble-on-my-disk ext2 fs as soon as possible. ;) It's time for XFS.
The interesting thing is that I've totally lost configuration of certain
applications and configuration items, such as fonts. Many applications'
configurations were totally gone. (such as kdevelop) In kmail, filter
configurations and most other kmail configs were gone but folders (and mails
hopefully) stayed.
Do you have any explanation for such a partial loss of kde configuration?
I have a theory:
For some reason the whole .kde is wiped out, and then the contents of cache
are dumped.
Would this explain why I still have my konqueror bookmarks and history but
not (allow cookies? option)
A similar situation had happened to me before with the layout of desktop
icons. The positions of the icons in the desktop were suddenly resetted.
Thanks,
