I can't confirm this on a newly installed Kubuntu 11.04 (KDE4.62). I can save sessions, they appear in the sessions menu and I can open them when restarting kate. I created a session with five files. It was available for opening when I restarted kate. Cannot reproduce either. Is your folder ~/.kde4/share/apps/kate/sessions writable? okay I am using kubuntu 11.04 and previous 10.04 when I report the bug. the folder ~/.kde4/share/apps/kate/sessions is not writable because I was not using kate as root. When I use kate as root, I am able to save and open sessions. What that means is that by default, when installing kate, kate installer needs to double check the sessions folder is writable by normal user, not just by root. I did not change anything on folder permissions since installation and always use kate straight up. And this permission setting on session folder has kept me wonder why kate has such a problem. I purge kate configuration with apt-get purge, and reinstall and it did not solve the problem until I use kate as root. Perhaps that happened because you executed kate by accident already before as root. Then for example other kate* file in .kde4/share/config should be not writable either and needs fixing. |
