I'm sorry but I am not a programmer/developer, could you please give complete command line instructions from start to finish? Is this done in terminal?

Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2020-04-10 07:45:31 UTC

If you are familiar with the terminal, use this command:

rm ~/.config/kolourpaintrc

But you can also use any GUI file manager to navigate to that file, as long as you have enabled showing hidden files and directories. In your home folder, a .config folder should appear that contains the file.

If you are even more experienced, use a text editor to edit that file. Only the line starting with "State=" needs to be removed. That will preserve the remaining configuration (not that KolourPaint has many options).

I am a nonprogrammer, I tried that command it didn't work...

owner@owner-FQ515AA-ABA-a6620f:~$ rm ~/.config/kolourpaintrc
owner@owner-FQ515AA-ABA-a6620f:~$ rm ~/.config/kolourpaintrc
rm: cannot remove '/home/owner/.config/kolourpaintrc': No such file or directory
owner@owner-FQ515AA-ABA-a6620f:~$

Comment 5 germeten 2020-04-10 08:08:48 UTC

I did a file search, not found

Comment 6 Martin Koller 2020-04-10 09:13:18 UTC

Do a right-click with the mouse at the menu bar (e.g. right of the Help menu),
then you will get a popup showing all toolbars available.
The color toolbar might be unchecked in your case.
Just check it.
