"Configure Your Desktop" not retaining settings

[frazelle09]

i've got PCL fully updated on a couple of lappys and my main compu and none of them want to retain the Performance settings, including the screen saver (Bouncing Cow) between boots.

Is anybody else having this problem?  i've checked the forums and it seems that no one else is having this problem.

Have a great evening!

If you are talking about power management, it seems to be buggy.  To fix something in that area (I forget the details) I was told to amend a file in ~/.kde4/Autostart.  The file is noblank.sh and commenting out the second line fixed whatever my problem was.  The file now looks like this:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
xset s off
# xset -dpms
There is a man page on 'xset' which you can read in Konqueror by typing in the location bar man:xset  Having now read it I may, instead of commenting out the second line, alter it to xset +dpms

10 points for ternor!

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
xset s off
xset +dpms
The above is what i used and it seems to have "taken" this time. Yeah!

Thanks for the great answer and have a wonderful evening!
