SUMMARY openSUSE ships a system-wide "Root Shell" profile since ages (installed to /usr/share/konsole/Root Shell.profile). In current konsole versions, it's not possible to edit it anymore in "Manage Profiles", if you try to save the changes you get an error dialog: Konsole does not have permission to save this profile to: "/usr/share/konsole/Root Shell.profile" To be able to save settings you can either change the permissions of the profile configuration file or change the profile name to save the settings to a new profile. It should probably create a copy in ~/.local/share/konsole/ in this case. The problem probably exists for a while already, but I think it worked fine years ago (no idea when it broke though).

I don't know which commit changed the behaviour, but the one that added the error message was: https://phabricator.kde.org/R319:1adc69e39a92d25a2b5192c5cc9efe420075c717 IIRC, I based this on the behaviour of systemsettings -> colors kcm, it doesn't allow changing the read-only/system-wide schemes, and asks the user to choose a different name if he wishes to save the changes. Having two profiles with the same name, one in the system-wide location and one in the user's home, the latter hiding the former, is a bit problematic, e.g. if you want to restore the default system-wide profile you'll have to delete the .profile in your home manually; I don't remember exactly, but you could end up with two profiles with the same name shown in the profile manager... etc.
