Plasma 5 doesn't save settings on Manjaro, Plasma 5.13.4 qt 5.11.1 Framework 5.48.0 4.14.65-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 18 13:29:56 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux Not all, because some settings are respected and some are not. For example I can align icons on Desktop to the right or to the left and it works ok. Settings that I set in system setting seems to be respected. It looks like only those changed from applets are not and from Dolphin options are not, but not all. When I set Dolphin Preferences > General > Confirmations and thick the Executing scripts I can run .desktop file (run application) from different Dolphin locations but option in Dolphin remains unmarked. I unmarked kmix volume feedback, I don't want this feedback to pop-up when I for example watch something. Yet, it still appears but only when I use keyboard shortcut to change volume. When I use slider in kmix the icon doesn't show. Plasma also can’t remember kmenu settings. For example I change name of entry in kmenu edit, Web browser Firefox to Firefox and save it, still in kmenu is visible Web browser Firefox. I created new user with home folder and checked default permissions. I only had one file with different permissions: -rwxr-xr-x plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and I corrected it and restarted system but with no effect. I found some workarounds for my problems. Name of Firefox has changed in kmenu when I changed it in firefox.desktop file in /home/user/.local/share/applications/ Right mouse click on file, properties and edit. For sound volume change I unmarked / unchecked option in system Settings → Workspace behaviour Display visual feedback for status changes. But this looks like some general setting for whole Plasma. https://i.imgur.com/8u9ELoe.png Volume feedback in kmix should respect its state without any other settings. Perhaps this is related to this bug: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=153661&p=402828#p402824 This may be related, you have lots of bug reports about different Plasma elements not saving settings: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390890 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395468 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393881
Created attachment 114672 [details] qtcurve.settings One more thing. qtcurve settings are not remembered. After each reboot thay get back to previous state. Here is an example: this is incorrect state after reboot https://imgur.com/7GxEpIf This is gtk application cherrytree with breeze for gtk2 theme. Here is how it should look like. Dark background and white text. https://i.imgur.com/N60rJw9.png Here are settings responsible for this. But Plasma doesn't save them. https://i.imgur.com/kCmGD9a.png To many problems to treat it like separate bugs for separate elements.
>To many problems to treat it like separate bugs for separate elements. No. Please file as separate bugs or they won't get fixed.
Are you 100% sure these issues are not related and are not a plasma bugs but only separate elements bugs? Are you suggesting that all those developers of separate elements made the same mistake and their code is bad.
What this component "general" is for? What kind of bugs can be reported under component "general"?

Also, are you sure you mean kmix?
I reported separate bugs: Bug 398020 - kmix doesn't respect volume feedback settings https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398020 Bug 398021- qtcurve dosn't save settings https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398021 Bug 398022- Dolphin doesn't save settings https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398022 Bug 398023- kmenu doesn't save settings https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398023 and I found another one: Bug 394835 - System Settings Default Web Browser reverts to Firefox https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394835
Thank you
I have similar issue. I cannot save configuration under System Settings -> Default Applications -> Web Browser. Strangely the rest of the Default Applications tab works ok. What I noticed was that when saving "Web Browser" settings, "Updating system configuration" notification popped out. Is it possible, that this particular setting is stored in a different way?
