Host-specific KDE configuration

tkdfighter · 2009-08-12 17:56:24

Hi,

I share my /home between my desktop and laptop via unison. Is it possible to have host-specific settings, like desktop background, widgets, etc.? From the .kde4 directory structure I can tell that some things are shared, others are already host-specific. Right now I just exclude certain files from syncing, but that's not really elegant. Any ideas?

Seems like nobody has this issue.
Let's try another approach: is it possible to set system wide settings for KDE4? Then I could set unique options on each computer.

You can specify which paths/files you want Unison to ignore during synchronisation - the conf files in ~/.unison are reasonably self explanatory.

For help check the unison website which has a tutorial

Thanks, but that's what I'm doing already. I'm just looking for a more elegant way.

Hope this helps.

Wow, thanks! This is going in the right direction now. It's not working though, like with the OP on that thread. I'll look into this a bit deeper when my exams are over.
