Hello to all. :)
I wasn't sure if this was a bug or not (I need muts or another admin to clarify this please) but I was coming up empty handed getting all my windows, shells, Kwrite, Firefox,etc.... (basically anything that you open up) to "reload" on boot-up. You guys know what I mean?? Like back in bt2....say you open a shell and make it have 5 tabs, you open Kwrite and firefox up and all the sudden you have to leave and you don't want to leave your laptop on, so you logoff and power down your Laptop. Then, you return and power bt2 back on, and EVERYTHING is back up and running in the EXACT same position as where you left it at when you logged off the last time.
Well,..in bt3, this does not happen. If you logoff at anytime and have ANY windows or apps up and running and you log off,...your session is NOT saved!! What happened?? Where is all the work I had gone to?? Wheres my Kwrite opened up to where I was working on my dictionaries at?? Wheres my shell window with all my tabs at?? ITS ALL GONE!!! :eek:
Don't worry! And don't panic!! I have solved this "bug" / "mystery".
After long and intensive trial and error. ...I managed to make my bt3 work like my bt2. Remember when I was telling some of you, (balding_parrot,pureh@te,etc) that I was having trouble getting my screens or "sessions" back after I rebooted?? Like when you open 4 tabs in a shell and have fiorefox up..and maybe you were looking at a file all at the same time...then you leave those windows open and reboot...and when you log back in...their gone!! But in bt2 they "reloaded" EXACTLY the way you left them??
Wanna know what the problem was?? Wanna know how to "fix" this "bug"?? Heres how.
-=The E-Z way=-:cool:
First off, make sure you have show hidden files and folders checked!!!
It was SSSSooooo simple:o...yet for a Linux novice like myself..it was somewhat a difficult and tedious task.
I moved folder after folder..reboot after reboot (thats why you haven't seen me on the forums for the last few days..lol :D)
The problem was with a little file called ksmserverrc located in ...
/root/.kde/share/config
thats .kde
not kde ;)
go to that file and open it up with Kwrite or whatever and go to the line called
loginMode=default
change that to...guess what:confused:
Thats right!!! You change it to......
loginMode=restorePreviousLogout
Now save and exitAND REBOOT NOW!!!!
So simple!!!!
AFTER REBOOT>>
Go ahead and open up a couple of shell windows, a text document...and leave it all up. Now logoff and reboot, and tell me what you see now??
For now on, when you logoff and you have multiple windows opened at the same time...they'll be "automagically" restored to the SAME EXACT position, and whatever you had opened before you logged off will be right there waiting on you!!
Cool huh?? :D
Another mystery solve by -=Xploitz=- :cool:
lol
Thanks to balding_parrot and pureh@te for your help with this. I figured you'd guys would probably be interested in knowing the fix and I wanted to tell you thanks for the good advice and for offering me help tracking down this "bug".
I'm also going to post this in the tutorial section just in case its not a bug. Like I said earlier,..I don't know if it is a bug or if it was intentional to have it read
loginMode=default
or not, so until someone on the staff or development team can confirm this as a "bug" or that its suppose to be like this...I'm going to post this in the tutorial section as well. Sorry for the double post, but when its confirmed either way,..Ill remove it from the Tutorial forum or from this forum.
