I have discovered that the real problem is that the /home directory is not yet mounted when I login. The result is that I fall back to local /home/<user> directory that was created during the initial install. The NFS directory is mounted later on so that the settings are written to the NFS directory. When I restart the PC then the desktop will get the settings of the local /home/<user> directory again so that it seems that all configuration settings were lost.
I have no idea yet what caused the late mounting of the NFS directory. If necessary I will create another bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005235 Title: desktop forgets all settings when home directory is on NFS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1005235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
