Setting application preference setting permanent

(1/2) > >>

TroyB:
Hi All,

I am having trouble keeping my application preference setting permanent, such as k3b, cups1311 and others, so when I login they are the same setting instead of the default settings, like every time I tried to set the preference setting in k3b it will not allow me too (crashes) or for cup1311, I need to add the printer every time I login.

Thanks for your time.

Please read the online documentation on the main website and wiki.
To save configuration changes, you must be using a persistent tce directory.
You then must edit the /opt/.filetool.lst file to include these config files.
When you shutdown with backup enabled, your changes will be saved.

Hi Gerald,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have read the FAQ & Wiki.

I'm not running off the cd, but from the HDD and have a persistant tce directory...this is my grub config file.

linux /boot/bzImage quiet tce=sda1 home=sda4 xvesa=1280x1024x24

I have included the following in /opt/.filetool.lst in your instruction.

usr/local/tce.installed/k3b
usr/local/tce.installed/cups1311

but still when I go into k3b to setup configuration setting it crashes on me.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks again for your time.

If you didn't already do so, you need set k3b and cups1311 as "onboot" using apps audit from the panel - this will load them each time you boot.

You should not put usr/local/tce.installed/k3b or cups1311 in filetool.lst, they will be loaded "ondemand" as above.

Since you set "home=sda4", anything under /home will be persistent.

Basically, you just need to add any configuration files not under /home to filetool.lst

From cups1311 info file:
--- Quote ---Add the following lines to /opt/.filetool.lst
etc/cups/printers.conf
etc/cups/ppd

--- End quote ---

Hi Juanito,

Thanks for the reply,

I have decided not to go with k3b, but would like a recommendation on an alternative to k3b which does not require gnome or kde.

As well, what do other people used for light weight, small memory footprint for the following GUI apps.

pdf reader
dvd & cd /ripper/burner/player combo if possible
file manager
text editor
web browser
office

I am still new to linux & its apps, but wish to have only a small memory footprint.

Evince
VLC & k3b (hopefully replaced)
PCman file manager
Leafpad
Chromium
openoffice

Thanks for your time.
TroyB
