Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kmail
KDE4 on Kubuntu 8.10 has supposedly migrated all user kde files from ~/.kde4 to ~/.kde. Noticing that some residual ~/.kde4 files and directories had been created, I deleted these. As soon as I did this and tried to use Kmail, it crashed. Attempting to re-start it, I get a pop-up error: "KMail could not create folder '/home/tony/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail'; please make sure that you can view and modify the content of the folder '/home/tony'." This may be in some way related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/324907 which I recently reported, where $KDEHOME was not being set anywhere, though in this case I HAVE set $KDEHOME as ~/.kde. It would appear that not everything has been moved into ~/.kde after all. I am using the KDE4.2 packages released recently, Kmail 1.11.0, using KDE4.2.0 Kubuntu 8.10, AMD-64 ** Affects: kdepim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kmail fails if ~/.kde4 unavailable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327236 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdepim in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
