Hi,
Does the following include ALL steps to transfer evolution settings to a new
computer?
Old computer:
Mandrake 9.2 Evolution 1.4.6
evolution --force-shutdown
cd ~
find ~/evolution/local/ -name “mbox.*” -exec rm -f {} \;
tar -cvzf /mnt/jumpdrive/evolution.tar.gz evolution .gconf/apps/evolution
New computer:
Mandrake 10.0 Evolution 1.4.6
evolution --force-shutdown
gconftool-2 --shutdown
cd ~
tar -xvzf /mnt/jumpdrive/evolution.tar.gz
When I did this the first time, I didn't know about the
“gconftool-2” shutdown. Although the transfer to the new
computer was successful at the time, today when I opened Evolution,
everything I restored was GONE.
Everything? Or just your settings? I dont believe everything would be gone.
I just transferred to a new hdd, and the above steps worked fine (evo 1.5 mind you, but it should make no difference).
