Hi,
I have more than one system at home.
I want to use on every system the same settings / configuration of plasma kde.
Is there an easy way to copy that from the first system to any other?
For kde, you could copy the .local/share directory, this is where kde settings are stored
Oh,
I try this!
Thank you!
KDE Plasma’s configuration files are a bit scattered under your home directory.
You might want to have a look at this topic:
I have backed up my ~./conf and ~/.local/share directories. Also just some need for my fit
konsave is a really great tool for backing up Plasma Customisation
.
Here is how you can save and reinstall all your progs:
The parameter -q saves editing out the version numbers pacman -Qeq > list.txt for the command sudo pacman -Syu --needed - < ./list.txt

Yeah, konsave is really great.
You’re welcome !
I do not think this horse is quite dead yet, so I will give it one more kick 
(The website tutorial I used)
I installed konsave today trying to save my desktop config, and I get the below error.
konsave -s my-1st-plasma-profile
Konsave: saving profile…
Konsave: expected ‘(document start)’, but found ‘(block mapping start)’
in “(unicode string)”, line 153, column 1:
save:
^
Please check the log at /home/g/.cache/konsave_log.txt for more details.
Konsave: ‘NoneType’ object is not subscriptable
Please check the log at /home/g/.cache/konsave_log.txt for more details.
The result is it creates the save folder, but it has no contents. Any other way of saving Plasma desktop configs?
Edit:
I found an app in aur called savedesktop that does what it sounds like konsave did. A simple straight forward export and import app. I only tested it out by changing wallpapers, but it seemed to work well.
