That's your mistake.
You can reuse your 11.4 home in 12.3 and expect it to work. Applications should automatically upgrade their configuration files if they need to, or complain. Some may fail.
Once this is done, you can not go back and reuse again that same home in 11.4, that is totally out of the question.
What other people do in this situation is keep also two separate homes for both Linux versions, but both sym-linking to a common data partition used to share Documents and other directories on both versions. The configuration directories remain different and separate.
That is good to know. What in particular are those directories that have configuration files that need to be separate for the different versions? I can only think of the .kde and .kde4 directories that need to be the same. Also perhaps the .gnome directories, .libreoffice, and .qt? How about the rest of the hidden files in the ~/home/user/ directory? -- George Olson Box #1: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | ATI Radeon HD 3300 | 16GB Box #2: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.1 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | nVidia C61 GeForce 7025 | 4GB Laptop: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | 8GB learning openSUSE and loving it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
