From: Hans on 14 Apr 2010 07:00 My home dir is on a nfs mount. I know, it is an extremely stupid and old fashioned setup, and apparently not compatible with kde4. Every time I start kde it complains about two out of three missing sound-cards. Strangely on the different pc's different sound-cards are missing. If someone knows how to kill the pop-ups I would be glad to hear. Another nice feature is that kde now remembers you favorite screen-resolution. Even nicer is that is will automatically scale down on smaller screens. So on every big screen I can now enjoy my low laptop resolution. Again, If someone knows how to kill this feature I would be glad to hear. -- Hans Who is almost used to kde4.

So put something like the following in your shell initialization script. export KDEHOME=~/.kde-`hostname` http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Environment_Variables#KDEHOME Otherwise you will have to fix things on a per-application basis. For the notifications, I'd try KDE Menu->Settings->System settings. Then select Notifications and look for the relevant Event Source. - Daniel

Unfortunately a lot is put in kdehome, machine configs like screen and mixer settings, and application dependent configs like the conqueror favorites. It would be nice if these were split in two sets of dirs. > > For the notifications, I'd try KDE Menu->Settings->System settings. Then > select Notifications and look for the relevant Event Source. Thanks this will work for the soundcard issue. For the screen setting I will look in to mandatory kiosk settings. -- Hans |
