After copying Arch to new SSD, KDE permission problems.

Following instructions in this thread:https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=596228
1. Boot a Ubuntu livecd
2. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/old
3. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/new
4. cp -rav /mnt/old/* /mnt/new
5. umount /mnt/old
6. mount -o bind /dev /mnt/new/dev
7. mount -t proc none /mnt/new/proc
8. chroot /mnt/new /bin/bash
---1. grub-install /dev/sdb
---2. exit
9. Exit and reboot

And modifying /etc/fstab
My Archlinux boots fine but some problems occur:
1. 20s delay for no reason after KDM login.
2. No sleep option in leave menu or power management settings.
3. networkmanager is running fine but kde plasma widget for it shows networkmanager is not running and asks me to start it.
4. The battery monitor of KDE seems to lose access to power management and battery.
5. cannot change settings in kde systemsettings--login screen.
I guess it is caused by some file copying permission problems or symbolic link problems. So how can I figure it out?

Re: After copying Arch to new SSD, KDE permission problems.

that's why you should use rsync -a and not cp.
