Hello All..
I started off with Ubuntu 14.4 x 64, then updated to 14.10 x 64.
After experiencing quite a few grey screens & freezing (this was not limited to just Firefox), I thought that maybe 64 Bit was taxing my Lappy and I decided to give the 32 Bit version a try.
Because I saw no improvements in 14.10 I decided to revert back to 14.4 because, at least it's LTS.
So, I now have both 14.10 & 14.4 on the same HDD in seperate partitions and most of the additional software that I have installed is on the 14.10
I use mobile broadband and my monthly allowance is getting pretty low and have I am getting close to my limit. So, I need to be frugal now.
My question is this: Can I transfer the apps & software that I have on the 14.10 to the 14.4lts??? as this the Distro that I would lke to keep*.
I managed to copy the Home directory over without a hitch using Grsync.
My Lappy:
HP Compaq presario CQ57
2 Gb Ram
AMD C-50 Processor × 2
Gallium 0.4 on AMD PALM
* I am open to suggestions as to which one I should keep. Because whilst the Grey Screen & Freezing has reduced, it has not gone away. So, I'm quit happy to accept that it could be my machine / setup that is causing this problem!
I spent around 2 hours searching this issue yesterday. So unless someone has snook in today I don't think that the answer is already on hear.
Thanks in advance!
