 Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2024 2:37 pm Post subject: SOLVED KDE settings and everything resets when I reboot |
 |
|
Please help me. My KDE Plasma runs on latest, fresh install of Gentoo. Whenever I reboot my system, or even navigate away from the page that I've configured on system settings are just resetting every time. I does even show me "Welcome to KDE Plasma" window over and over again when it's booted up. The system uses OpenRC. Thank you so much. Peace.

Hi,
You mean, each time you relog to your session, nothing is kept ? That is also taking the case of rebooting. But the difference might be important.
The only things that rings a bell about what you say is it's looking like while you log, KDE somehow isn't taking the files needed to run KDE from your user.
I'll guess something weird happened while installing.
Let's check that out if you agree, can you post here the output of these commands please (# in front means as root, $ as your normal user):
This command will display the list of disks and partitions
This command will list all directory for each user on your system, with their permissions
This command will display which profile you are using, mostly it should be openrc with plasma, merged-usr IIRC
| Code: | | # eselect profile list |
This command will display the available and used kernel, probably useless but since we are here…
| Code: | | # eselect kernel list |
This command display what is actually mounted
This command will display the content of your make.conf file
| Code: | | # cat /etc/portage/make.conf |
This command will display the content of the /etc/fstab file, which at boot allow things to be mounted or not and how
This command will try to write an empty file into your home directory, please do it with your user and please replace «youruser» by… your user.
| Code: | | $ touch /home/youruser/test_file |
Regards,

So far I guess it's OK regarding how your system is mounted (/), permissions seems correct, that is weird. I was expecting to have a problem for writing somehow or mounting.
Another guess would be a space left issue, which is unlikely regarding it's a fresh installation and you have 233.5G amount of space. Mostly it'll block you from logging instead of reseting your KDE configuration. But still…
Display all mounted partition and their disk usage
-i checks inodes, which is even most unlikely, but again, since we are here…
If there is a space left problem, take care and retry.
Just to be 100% sure.
If it doesn't have a space left issue, which I expect:
After backuping up your ~/.config folder, remove everything related to KDE / Plasma inside, do it possibly from a TTY with SDDM and Plasma shutted down.
The idea is to force KDE to rewrite what it needs to works, full reset:
| Code: | | $ cp -a ~/.config ~/.config_backup |
| Code: | | # The proper openrc command to shutdown SDDM |
| Code: | | $ rm ~/.config/kde* |
| Code: | | $ rm ~/.config/plasma* |
Then, I would restart to be sure and try to relog. If it breaks anything, you simply have to:
| Code: | | $ cp -a ~/.config_backup ~/.config |
And it will be restored as nothing happened.
Hope it helps, but I'm out of ideas.

| Alright. While I was doing what you said, I noticed my user has no access to .config folder. Since the install is fresh and installed like 4 hours ago, I simply sudo rm'd and created new .config folder, rebooted and now it fully works! Thank you so much for trying to solve it. |

That is very weird, but somehow it was a permission issue. Since KDE wasn't able with your user to write any modification to your .config, seems this weird behaviour was not magic.
You can edit your topic and add [Solved] at the beginning of title.
