View Full Version : [SOLVED] Moving Tomboy Notes from 9.04 - 9.10 ??

I have a brand new Karmic system running now, the upgrade from 9.04 having trashed my old system. I can access the drives, but can only start the old system without X.

How can I move my old Tomboy Notes to the new system. The file structures seem entirely different.

Thanks

Bump!

I'd be interested in this as well.

cd <location of old tomboy notes>
ls
cp *.note ~/.local/share/tomboy
cd ~/.local/share/tomboy
ls
# The .notes files should now all be in your tomboy folder in your home directory

ls= make sure you are in the correct directory
cp= copy the .note files into new tomboy directory

Log out and log in and the notes should appear.


Good Luck

Many thanks.
I had actually already copied them there, but had not logged out and back in before checking for them.
Low and behold, when I now looked, they had appeared.:redface:

Thanks again
