You were talking about the problems with RESTORE. So was I. On the new system, have a partition that the old "etc/" is restored into rather than overwriting the /etc on the newly installed system.
oh, yes, of course, I always do. I always have a spare partition on my system for such purpose. I had problem in the past with hosted server that I could only admin through the provider manager - I never could restore it (never booted again), but this proveider have special hardware and fitted kernel. It's very handy because it takes care of kernel updates, but this make backup/restore of the system tricky and he only keep available the very last distro (I couldn't restore 11.3 because the last one was 11.4). but the one I sepak of now is available at hand in front of me, so much easier to manage :-)
You could have upgraded to 11.4. That would have been smoother, less traumatic. The 11.4 works well and runs the latest kde :-)
I don't need kde at all, so yes, this is a solution. and once it's done, upgrade to 12.1 works easily thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
