I can also confirm this to happen when you try to run a kde application in other desktop environment like gnome or even mint.

No write access to $HOME directory (/home/user). That seems to be the precise problem.

I created a env directory in .kde/env/kile.sh with the following content export $KDE_HOME_READONLY It however made no difference, I still have same issue. Also is there a way I can make this global just in case it fixes the issue.

The workaround using KDE_HOME_READONLY works for me, I created a file /etc/xdg/plasma- workspace/env/nfs_home_workaround.sh with the content export KDE_HOME_READONLY=x.
