Hi all,

I use Kubuntu and I have accidentally shared a widget on the network.
I want this thing undone, since all users on the network constantly get notified about this whenever I log in.
However, I CANNOT find any more the widget I shared, so that I turn this setting off (in widget Settings/Share/Share this widget on the network).
I guess I need to do it forcefully, through some central system settings, or config file.

Also, I see the widget is shared in Dolphin network:/{HOST-NAME}.local/, but I cannot remove it from there.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Are you aware of which widget you shared accidentally?

Failing everything, as a last ditch attempt to correct this you can remove the Plasma configuration files. Please be aware that this will result in your Plasma Desktop being reset back to defaults however - so you will need to fully reconfigure it.

Thanks for you reply.
I don't know what widget that is.
It is some Panel, but I don't know which one. I can't find it any more.

If I have to remove Plasma config file, could you please tell me which exact files those are. I'm a Linux novice, so I need a detailed instruction.

Cheers!

to reset your plasma desktop yo the default

Code: Select all

kquitapp plasma-desktop
 sleep 20s
 mkdir -p $HOME/plasma-config/
 mv $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/config/plasma-desktop* $HOME/plasma-config/
plasma-desktop &


Why does the "share in network" feature even exist in the released UI? Does it actually work for any existing widget?

Unfortunately, the user interface for enabling the sharing of a widget does exist in released code. I'm not sure if it has been disabled in the very latest code or not though.
