I'm preparing to go from 12.04 to 14.04, and I have a question about home folder / file permissions.
I'm planning to reformat the disk,and then I will restore /home in a LiveUSB session (using Backup). Will I run into issues with permissions?
If the restored files will have the same permissions as they had originally, do I need to make sure the new user name is the same as the old one?
I'm having difficulty getting my head around this. What would I need to do? Thanks in advance for any help.
