Hi!

I don't know if this issue is directly from KDE or from the distro Kubuntu:

after upgrading to Kubuntu 15.10, Dolphin wouldn't see any of my network shortcuts in the "remote:/" view.
Then I realized Dolphin now looks for them in the .local/share/remoteview folder,
while I had them in the .kde/share/apps/remoteview/ folder.

So I moved them and it works... but hey! now konqueror cannot find them anymore ! it's still looking at the "old" folder

I ended up creating a symlink between the two. But maybe some people at KDE (or Kubuntu ?) should decide which way to go ??

The problem is that dolphin uses KF5, which looks up the XDG complaint paths, while konqueror is still SC4, which looks in the "legacy" ~/.kde/* locations.
You can add the ~/.kde locations to the XDG environment variables (which you'll however likely have to set up completely) - or use symliks during the transition.

thanks for the explanation.

How do I set the XDG variables ?

by exporting them. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedi ... atest.html

You mostly want sth. like
~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/include_kde4_paths.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
export XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/.local/share:$HOME/.kde/share/apps
export $XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.config:$HOME/.kde/share/config


But also see viewtopic.php?f=66&t=129227

Interesting: I tried

Code: Select all

export XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/.local/share:$HOME/.kde/share/apps
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.config:$HOME/.kde/share/config
dolphin


but them I loose my shortcuts ! (the ones on the left sidebar).
I'll try to read some docs to improve my (poor) understanding of all this...

I also noticed that prior to this export, these variables were not set at all:

Code: Select all

set | grep XDG
BASH_REMATCH=([0]="\$XDG_CON" [1]="\$" [2]="XDG_CON")
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-plasma:/etc/xdg:/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/plasma:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1001
XDG_SEAT=seat0
XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
XDG_SESSION_COOKIE=99a715f650dc0d0ef7a3c0d5002f2d3e-1447584848.832897-1455106842

XDG_SESSION_ID=5

XDG_VTNR=7



No, they're simply resolved to some defaults.
Try prepending /usr/share resp. /usr/share/config

You can look up the defaults by unsetting the variables and calling "kf5-config --path xdgdata" resp. "kf5-config --path xdgconf"
