+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #238530 +++ Version: (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When using an encrypted home directory with encfs config is not saved. When stopping plasma via "kquitapp plasma-desktop" and restarting it with "plasma-desktop" I alwas get "couldn't lock local file". Same when starting konsole on another konsole and changing any configuration. I tried to copy .kde/ outside of the encfs encrypted dir (e.g. /home/.kde) and add and symlink (ln -s /home/.kde /home/user/.kde) everything works fine. 2.6.32-22-generic-pae #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 14:57:29 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Qt: 4.6.2 KDE Development Platform: 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2) encfs version 1.5
FUSE mounts tend to have broken POSIX semantics, so this isn't particularly surprising. we could workaround that, so i'll link it to the bug which suggests the same for another FS. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 203554 ***
