Just one more thing. I've found out that compressing the folder (making a
tarball) is an easy way to backup the Icedove folder conveniently in one
place. Restoring the tarball (extracting) has an option to overwrite existing
files.
Tar is a useful utility, either command line or with a GUI
Yes, backing up and restoring the hidden folder in its entirety is the easy
way. On a fresh install, .icedove only contains one file -- profiles.ini.
Once started, another folder inside will be added -- randomly named eg.
'2323hg67.default'.
It's possible to start the profile manager (if
Could you better explain the problem please? It looks like a bad
configuration of the file manager (Trisquel 8's default?).
Can't one just remove ~/.icedove on the target (if there is such a folder)
and copy or move the whole ~/.icedove from the source?
There is no free firmware for your Realtek Wifi chipset.
One of the email accounts in my newly migrated Icedove has gone rogue,

After years of struggling with this process before muddling through, today I
was faced with
the fact that the trisquel community had gone hone for the weekend ... and so
I had to work
it out rather than complaining.
Here's what works:
1. The .icedove folder is indeed right there in the home
I burned the ISO to CD-ROM. Now it shows up at Boot Manager (Option down) as
EFI Boot, but it won't actually boot the OS from it. Only a "minimal grub
environment" is shown.
Here are the contents of the disc.
It's Openbox. LXDE uses Openbox as the window manager.

Netinstall ISO has two partitions sdb1 and sdb2.
sdb 8:16 1 14.4G 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 131M 0 part
└─sdb2 8:18 1 6M 0 part /media/user/Firmware
I don't think macs can boot DOS partitions without a boot manager such as
rEFInd.
Hello, this is my third post, I am new to Trisquel8, I installed it on an old
laptop HP ProBook 6555b.
After first solved problems I got to use wifi and now I found another issue:

It's a hidden folder '.icedove' (without quotes) that you must backup and
restore.
After reading several old forum topics I tried the Internet and found that
there is
actually something useful right in the Help section of Icedove, under
troubleshooting,
where there is a link to the actual storage location of my present icedove
profile,
and from which I copied it into the
Thank you, Magic Banana,
I did it and of course it showed the list of errors.
I would like to show it to you so you could tell me about it. I attached the
kern.log, I am not sure if this is the right way to do it.
Thanks in advance
Followup: Will this Trisquel_8 usb-connected operating system boot up in
another computer ?
Answer: Yes, at least on another T420 (the "sick" one that is falling apart),
where I just
plugged the USb cable in and started it up. Zero hassle, permitting me to
migrate many GB

to disable them than for someone who does need them to enable them
This goes without saying..
But still no one answered the OP's question:
