When I installed Ubuntu - I set up my system as a dual boot. I have twin 160 Gb drives with Suse on sda* and Ubuntu on sdb*. I copied my /home/$user directories on Suse over to a slush directory on Ubuntu.Also - downloaded Skype ran dpkg -i "skypepackage.deb" It looks like it installed, shows on the menu but does NOT run when selected. AND strangely enough, when I type locate skype* I get nothing, nada, zip. When I search for it in Synaptic - it shows the package as installed. WTF is going on here?? (Learning the quirks of a new distro is so annoying!!) Dennis Check to see if the skype or any other pkg you're missing is in the /usr/bin file. If so, you can make a shortcut from that, to get it started. I think you can just drag it to your desktop or menu. However, with Gnome, you have to use the middle mouse button to get the shortcut/copy/move option. Hopeful this helps. BTW, which Ubuntu version are you using?

It should be possible to export your mail/etc from evolution on Suse into a file that can be easily imported into evolution on Ubuntu. This should be a function of the evolution software. Wait! Is Suse still running? I'm confused. - Sebastian On Thu, 21 Jul 2005, wrote:Hey gang, I'm in the process of changing distros from Suse to Ubuntu. I have a copy of everything from the Suse /home directory and want to do a few "simple" conversions like: Transfer my contacts and old pop mail from the Suse version of Evolution Re-install VMware. The Evolution issue though seems a bit sticky.... Suse put the Evolution data files under the directory Evolution within /home/$user. Apparently Ubuntu takes a different approach. Or do I have to set up Evolution in Ubuntu first to create the necessary stuff in the /home/$user? Anybody have info on this?????
