Thread: How do I Import Ubuntu user settings & applications into Xubuntu
i used run ubuntu gnome , thought try upgrade 11.10. upgrade left me unable desktop or terminal in recovery mode. on someone's advice decided try installing xubuntu on top, went fine except during install process, said there problem restoring applications. prompted create new user, did, , expected, fresh install. however, ls /home shows both william (the new user) , williamgunn (the old user, files , data intact. xubuntu & xfce , think i'll stay here, ..
there easy way restore applications used have installed? happen if copied contents of /home/williamgunn/ /home/william?
n00b question.
you should copy things .thunderbird , .mozilla , pictures, music & documents .
copying whole folder might confuse new operating system.
should careful installing apps , might drag in gnome stuff , mess things up........ try apps come xubuntu might surprise you.
