I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with KDE added on. I can not modify the settings for Kate and can't find a solution.

For some, this has been a challenge going back to the days of Hardy and was usually a permissions issue or fixed by deleting katerc and redoing the settings from scratch. I have no permission issues in my Home folder and deleting katerc is not fixing the issue either.

An old fart with ailing eyesight, all I wish to do is increase the font size. Can't get it to change for time I am working in Kate, never mind saving the changes.

This happened to me too. This is because the permissions of the /home/username/.kde are only for root. I decided this way:

sudo chown username:username /home/username/.kde -R


Hope that helps.
