Hello!
We are currently migrating our clients from Kubuntu 18.04 to 22.04 (X11) with a prebuilt custom image. One part of the process is to move the old home directory to the new installation, so the users typically still have all settings. So far, we have upgraded around 15 clients, one of them is a laptop. And it’s causing troubles.
Whenever the user reconnects a docking station (user has three docking stations, two in the office, on at home), all desktop settings are reset and sometimes Notes do disappear. They usually position the icons individually on the desktop for better organization. This worked with Kubuntu 18.04 flawlessly. The desktop setting is set to “Folder View”. My own home profile does not cause any issues.
I honestly have no idea what could cause this, frankly I’m not that experienced with Linux. Unfortunately, my colleague who set everything up for the migration has left us, and so far I am clueless.
Steps to reproduce:
- Move Desktop Icons
- Logout
- Reconnect Docking Station
- Login
Expected results: Desktop Icons are positioned where left
Actual result: Desktop Icons are reset, have to reposition them.
Maybe a configuration file from 18.04 is causing this behavior?
I’ve already tried to delete some directories and files, but nothing helped.
In my first attempt I tried:
rm -r .config/KDE
rm -r .config/plasma*
rm -r .local/share/kscreen
rm -r .local/share/sddm
Problem was still present.
Second attempt:
rm -r .config
rm -r .local/share
Problem was still present.
What else could it be?
