The only things which I transfer from my /home to a NEW, FRESH installation are the /.mozilla, /.thunderbird, /Documents, and possibly /Downloads directories. The rest stay behind as they ALWAYS cause problems - especially as you have skipped *three* (3) versions and by jumping from 11.4 to 13.1.
Well - sort of. I didn't copy the entire /home. Much like you I copied /.mozilla, /.thunderbird, /Documents and I copied ~/.kde, ~/.config, ~/.fluxbox, ~/.gnupg, and ~/.ssh.
None of those should cause issues with acpi, or firefox, or unwanted apps running in the background. I see you point, but I only copied the baggage I needed. (not much has changed in kde3 :)
It is precisely these that cause all the problems! "...copied ~/.kde, ~/.config, ~/.fluxbox, ~/.gnupg, and ~/.ssh." in particular the first 2. There have been some substantial changes in oS since 11.4 and what is in .kde and .config may now not apply -- this is what I have been referring to as "old and outdated baggage". Get rid of these and let 13.1 create them anew! As I said, keep the old /.mozilla, /.thunderbird, /Documents, /Downloads, and any other directory which has material which you just don't want to lose but do NOT keep /.kde, /.config and similar because doing so creates only problems (of which you have quite a few :-) ) .
