How can I change KDE Menu and Icons after remastering?

[GunSmoke]

please forgive my poor english.

when I remastering with Knoppix.build scripts, every config file is perfectly reflected in Live CD. (locales, application config files ... etc) but KDE menu and Icons, wall paper, theme, widow decorations are always return to Basic Knoppix. How can I change KDE Menu and Icons after remastering?

What is the real KNOPPIX KDE menu config file in /usr/share/applications, /usr/share/applnk, /etc/skel?
and How can I reflect on remastering CD?

as suggested by moran:

vi /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession

comment out lines 125 - 154

and save the file.
(comment out is putting # at the start of each line).

stage 2:

vi /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig

at line 1181 after the fi in new line i add:
mkdir /home/knoppix
cp -R /etc/skel/.??* /home/knoppix
cp -R /etc/skel/* /home/knoppix

chown -R knoppix:knoppix /home/knoppix


make steps 2 & 3 and burn the iso.


To edit KDE menu use menu editor,

K menu => Settings => Menu Editor

Good Luck

I failed.
After remastering, back to basic again.

boot message says '/home/knoppix is already maded'.

can someone help me?

[Nikolay]

it seems that you left X you didn't delete /etc/skel and replace it with /home/knoppix. Follow UnderScores How to:

rm –rf /etc/skel

It will remove /etc/skel and its content. Then:

mv /home/knoppix /etc/skel

This will move /home/knoppix to /etc/skel. And at the end change the owner:

chown –R root:root /etc/skel

/home/knoppix is being recreated on every start up

[GunSmoke]

It has been working!!!
even though still boot message '/home/knoppix, file has already made' printed
anyway Nikolay, Thank you for your help.

Nikolay, I am worried about one thing.

vi /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession

comment out lines 125 - 154

I think, that comment out will effect on 'Persistent home directory'.

startkde(){
# Play sound
#playsound

if [ -z "$DONTCHANGE" ]; then
# No persistent homedir, copy everything
rsync -Ha --ignore-existing /etc/skel/{.kde*,Desktop} $HOME/ 2>/dev/null
 if [ "$USER" = "knoppix" ]; then
  rsync -Ha --ignore-existing /usr/share/knoppix/profile/{.kde*,Desktop} $HOME/ 2>/dev/null
  # Build ksycoca database for KDE speedup
  [ -d /usr/share/knoppix/profile/var/tmp/kdecache-knoppix ] && rsync -Ha --ignore-existing /usr/share/knoppix/profile/var/tmp/kdecache-knoppix/ /var/tmp/kdecache-knoppix 2>/dev/null
 fi

It will comment out 'DONTCHANGE' value so 'No persistent homedir, copy everything' will be lost.
What do U think about it?

[Nikolay]

To be honest, I am not sure about it. I think the only way to find out is just to test it out. gonna do it when get home. and will post the results.

I finished that test sucessfully.
maybe 'dontchange' value does not effect on persistent home directory.
thanks anyway.

GunSmoke,
I have developed, with some fiends here in Brazil, a script that does the remastering of the knoppix currently installed on the HD, which is posted at http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18222 and have faced the same problem you described. We solved it adding this code rsync -Ha --ignore-existing /etc/skel/ $HOME/ at line 67 of the 45xsession and deleting 26 lines, starting from the line nr 200 in the same file (45xsession). It worked perfectly, maybe you should try this, once it doesn´t touch the persistent home directory.
Cheers.
PS: I´m talking about the 3.7 version of knoppix. I didn´t try the 3.8.1 yet, which I think I´m doing today. I wil post if sucessful or not.

[GunSmoke]

I am Korean.
and I thanks for your international cooperation.

my 45xsession file is

23 # add at least _one_ entry to xauth
24 # remove when updated nxclient is available
25 
26 xauth add $DISPLAY  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  $(mcookie)
27

maybe that 26 line has nothing to do with my purpose.
so I think that I must not delete that line. plz tell me another line that I must delete.

64 # Copy profiles if not already present
65 rsync -Ha --ignore-existing /etc/skel/{.acrorc,.Xdefaults,.gimp*,.gconf*,.bashrc,.nessus*,.links,.local,.lynx*,.qt,.xine,tmp} $HOME/ 2>/dev/null
66 [ "$USER" = "knoppix" ] && rsync -Ha --ignore-existing /usr/share/knoppix/profile/{.gnupg,.acrorc,.Xdefaults,.bashrc,.nessus*,.links,.lynx*,.qt,.xine,tmp} $HOME/ 2>/dev/null
67 [ "$USER" = "knoppix" -a -f /usr/share/knoppix/profile/.fonts.cache-1 ] && rsync -H --ignore-existing /usr/share/knoppix/profile/.fonts.cache-1 $HOME/ 2>/dev/null
68 
69 # We DO need the .gnome* directory for some programs that set permissions incorrectly
...

and Where do I add code 'rsync -Ha --ignore-existing /etc/skel/ $HOME/' after that 67 line?
