Guest wilburpan Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 I am in the process of setting up my home computer with MDK 9.0. Earlier, I had gotten my user settings to where I wanted them, and through google found a command that I ran from a terminal that copied my menu and panel settings to my wife's account. Now I want to do that again, but like an idiot I can't remember the command, and this time googling is not getting me anywhere. Can anyone help me remember? And for the record, I know about copying the .kde folder from one account to another, but I would like to know the command line version of this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 I guess your two accounts are on the same machine.. do they? I would (as root) cp -r /home/WifeAccount/.kde /home/YourAccount/.kde chown YourAccount -R /home/YourAccount/.kde chgrp YourAccount -R /home/YourAccount/.kde That should do the trick. The 'chown' and 'chgrp' commands are to change the owner and the group of each files to YourAccount. If you don't do that you'll not be able to change anything because you'll not be allowed to modify the files in .kde. Anyone has a better solution ?
