I have, in the past, simply copied the entire contents of my home directory.
This worked fine when upgrading from 10.2 to 10.3. However, right now, my
home directory is corrupted in some strange way that forces a totally blank
screen after login. I've tried deleting the .gnome2 directory and letting the
system rebuild intelligent defaults, but that didn't fix it. So, combined with
a lot of troubles with 64 bit, I'm going to take the fresh install route.
I assume you can still logon in runlevel 3
So, the question is, precisely which directories and files must I back up
in order to have a full backup of my Evolution (while, hopefully, leaving
behind whatever has become poisoned)?
~/.evolution (slight chance it's ~/.Evolution... I don't have a copy
in front of me)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I could login as any other user, for that matter. Anyway, it's all happy and
running 32 bit now. Much, much smoother, easier, and all manner of things
that were causing trouble are now behaving (Java, Flash, and Eclipse to
start with).
Turns out that you need ~/gconf/apps/evolution too, that seems to have
directory-type information that makes it all work nicely.
Cheers,
Simon
