How to configure KDE default settings for a new user of a group?
- by Adobe
I'm a sys admin on Kubuntu 11.10 machine. Where do I configure the basic config for a new user (say belonging to group "users")?
Edit 1:
I want to configure langauages - currently my new users get English and Bulgarian Languages. I want them to get English and Russian - and also to set Alt-CapsLock - to be the input-language-switching-combination.
Edit 2:
How do I configure things in
/usr/share/kde4
When I do
kdesudo systemsettings
and save configurations - only root settings got changed - not the /usr/share/kde4 ones.
Edit 3:
New user gets the /etc/skel files controlling bash behaviour-appearence. What about the KDE new user's default files - where are they stored?
Edit 4:
Oh, I found some hints:
kde4-config --path config
gives a list of folders (separated by the colon) where KDE looks for configs. My machine responded with:
/home/boris/.kde/share/config/
/etc/kde4/
/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/
/usr/share/kde4/config/
/usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/kde-profile/share/config/
It looks like third line is where KDE takes the default options. So I found these zilions of settings - but no GUI way to configure it ((.
Edit 5:
Finally, I've created a dummy user, configured it, and wrote a script which gives it's settings to a given user(s). The trick - is to chown after one transfered the dot files from one user to another. I've tested it - it works fine.
