Desktop Design wieder herstellen

[jure]

Hallo zusammen,

wo finde ich die config Dateien für das kpl Desktop Design, also Arbeitsfläche und die kpl untere Leiste. Ich möchte die aus einem backup wieder herstellen ...
Es geht um kde.

If your talking plasma5, and I haven't done this in awhile, so I don't know if this still works.

Backup your plasma files, appears to be ~/.config/plasma* (this will also backup the plasma-workspace folder)

Code Select Expand

tar -cf plasma-backup-`date +%Y-%m-%d--%H-%M` ~/.config/plasma*



To restore you would need to stop plasma and restore the backed up files

1) stop plasma

Code Select Expand

kquitapp plasmashell


2) restore backed up files

3) restart plasma

Code Select Expand

plasmashell

unfortunally piper isn't right - jure, search  /etc/skel - and if there are any questions  (most people will have, even kde devs) try irc

[piper]

Well, i just tested with restoring plasma 5 panels and it worked like a charm, gonna try other things

[piper]

The problem with /etc/skel way would be uuid's

/.config/khotkeysrc as an example

Restoring stuff like that to a new system may not work as intended, although I haven't used /skel since lfs

[melmarker]

piper - there is some black magic in - so nobody can say  that my or your method will work with new versions

[jure]

thx piper & melmarker

I just copy the corresponding plasma files from my luckbackup snapshots to ~/.config
an the old design was back ;-)

Adjusting these in kde systemsetting is 

[piper]

@Jure

Yes, that will work also, I have done that before, it works great backing up seconds before a new install

luckybackup still works good, I just tested this, haven't used it in many years.

@Melmrker

I agree, but I did have some good reading with skel & uuid's

piper - it's not about the uuids part - but the kde/plasma configs are js magic - so i have a look only at release times - my little knowledge might be outdated
