You should use gconftool-2 --dump xxxxx rather than shutting down gconf
and backing up the files - in some versions of gconfd, the file
locations changed.
Thanks Not Zed,
What do the "xxxxx" stand for?
As of yet, I haven't figured out how to SUCCESSFULLY back up, move, and
restore the necessary files from the old computer (MDK 10.1, KDE, Evo 2.03)
to the new one (MDK 10.1, KDE, Evo 2.03).
Other than the help you and others have provided here, I haven't located the
procedures for this in the archives or anywhere else. I'm willing to learn
whatever is necessary and appreciate the time and patience from you and
others.
Before posting here, I tried different variations of what's below to no
avail.
How do I back up and restore the b/u to to the new computer and will the
migration wizard pop up?
TIA,
Celsun
There is also .gnome2_private/Evolution for any saved passwords.
