You can jump versions with more chance of support via the off-line method:
Is the above also ok for an update 12.1 to 13.1?
Yes, the procedure is the same. However, a long jump has more posibilities of failing than a short one, and 12.1 - 13.1 never coexisted.
:-( So I should do 12.1->12.3 and then 12.3 to 13.1 ?
I have a backup from today on USB3.0 disk, which contains $HOME and /var/spool/news If possible I would like to keep the $HOME files untouched (no format of any disk).
You can install fresh, formatting root, and not formatting home - provided they are separate partitions.
home and root are the same partition, both on the raid1 .
Same goes for "news".
/var is on the SSD so that should be ok.
The /boot ist on a SSD , / is on a RAID1.
Hum. Upgrade has some problems with raid.
:-((((
Sometimes the raid is seen as md128 or similar, instead of md0, and the device name change can cause problems when booting the system. I don't remember what exact version(s) had this problem.
root was mounted on /dev/md126p2 /dev/md126p1 is a Win7 partition (dual boot). It's only one of those cheap raids on the motherboard.
2) KMail for KDE 4.X crashed often, import of old KMail3 mails also did not work. I was able to use KMail 1.9.10, KDE 3.5.10 release 214 instead. Is KMail for KDE 4.X working in 13.1 or do I still have to use the older version?
AFAIK, kmail works, but people have reported problems with migrating email folders.
Seems to be the same problems I had on SuSE 12.1. So no change. :-(
I don't know if it works now or not, I don't use kmail.
Can I simply use KMail from KDE 3.5.10? That would be enough.
If I wanted to be sure, I would upload all my email to a local machine imap server, like dovecot. Failing that, export all your email in plain "mbox" format, which is easier to import on other applications.
I just remember KMail4 messing up the input, crashing, putting all email flat instead within subfolders and the pain was going on and on.
