Yakuake settings not being applied in 18.04

  • 772

Yakuake doesn't apply settings from config on ubuntu 18.04, I looked around and found that there was a kde bug related to this so I also created a profile in .local/share/konsole and the settings are saved there but somehow yakuake doesn't apply the settings defined there.

I tried configuring it to always show on screen 2, if I change it from the UI, it moves to screen 2 but if I press F12 to hide/show it again it goes back to screen 1, but somehow the setting still shows as screen 2.

I have same settings in 2 places .config/yakuakerc and .local/share/konsole/myprofile

Here are the settings,

  1. It seems clear to me that this is a bug. There are no fewer than 3 bug reports for this issue, going back to January 2015:

    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343434

    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374504

    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383555

    This affects me as well, and I have just commented on the oldest bug report.

    1. .local/share/konsole/myprofile shoule be renamed to .local/share/konsole/my.profile (use profile as extension)

    2. There should be a [General] section in the my.profile:

      [General]
Name=Subash
Parent=FALLBACK/
