Bug ID: 351231
Summary: All profile settings get lost after exit, no
configuration files written
Product: konsole
Version: 3.0.1
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
URL: https://fsync.org/david/out-1.ogv
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: konsole-***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@fsync.org

All profile settings get lost when konsole is terminated. Example is the video
under the given URL, where (as example) the shell command ("General" tab), used
font (Appearance), underline links (Mouse) and blinking cursor (Advanced) are
changed. When a konsole window is running and a new one is opened, the settings
are kept, but they are lost once the last konsole is exited. No configuration
files are saved under ~/.kde/share/config/ or ~/.kde/share/apps/ as was done on
previous releases (e.g. version 2.13.2, KDE4 on Ubuntu 14.04). Being unable to
configure anything for a terminal emulator makes it useless.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to "Settings" -> "Edit Current Profile"
2. Change command to "/bin/bash -l" or any other shell and "Apply" + "OK"
3. Either close the window by the close button or terminate the shell with
"exit"
4. Start konsole again and check settings.

Actual Results:
Changed shell command (as example) is lost, also all other profile settings

Expected Results:
Profile settings should be retained. Create configuration files under
~/.kde/share/apps/konsole and ~/.kde/share/config/

I see no sign of konsole crashing on exit
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344920), so no sign of being directly
related to that bug.

Look under ~/.local/share/konsole and ~/.config/konsolerc for KDE5/Qt5+.
Konsole hasn't been copying KDE4 files until recently.

You can manually copy them to get your settings. You should be able to create
new profiles which should work as expected.

Thanks a lot for the information. I wasn't aware of the new KDE5
locations. Copying the old files there worked and settings are saved
now. Strangely I can't reproduce the non-saving behaviour anymore when I
delete these files, but I'll look into that.

openSUSE Leap 42.1 user here.

I changed the default Konsole font from Oxygen Mono/Regular to Liberation
Mono/Regular. Unlike Oxygen Mono, which is available only in Regular font
style, Liberation Mono is available in other font styles, in particular Bold,
which is listed first, while Regular is listed last in the Konsole's "Select
fixed width font" dialog. Even though I have selected the regular font style,
exiting all Konsole instances, restarting, and opening the "Select fixed width
font" dialog results in the first listed font style being selected, and thus if
one clicks ok, the default Konsole font changes to bold style. If I explicitly
re-select the regular font style, then konsole switches back to the regular
font style but ignores the checked "Draw intense colours in bold" setting.

This happens with any font other than Oxygen Mono that has more than one font
style and
where regular style is not the listed first.


Version 15.12.0
Using:
KDE Frameworks 5.17.0
Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.1)
The xcb windowing system

rpm -q konsole
konsole-15.12.0-1.2.x86_64

The conversion from KDE4 -> KDE5 for Konsole files didn't happen until later
versions. Let us know if you still have issues w/ recent versions.
