Hi all, I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and am having problems shifting Evolution from one computer to another. I am following the procedure given in the FAQs: http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#How_can_I_transfer_all_my_Evolution_data_between_computers.2Fto_a_new_partition.2Fto_a_new_computer.3F
I first did: "evolution --force-shutdown" and got this: Shutting down evolution-exchange-storage (Evolution Calendar Exchange backend / Evolution Addressbook Exchange backend) Shutting down evolution-data-server-1.12 (Evolution Calendar file and webcal backend / Evolution Addressbook file backend) Shutting down evolution-alarm-notify (Evolution Calendar alarm notification service) Now, when I try to copy the contents from the folder $HOME/.evolution/ sudo cp -r $HOME/.evolution/ /media/IOMEGA/EVOLUTION/ I get the following error messages: cp: cannot create regular file
