[Bug 992430] Re: ubuntu update to 12.04 LTS wipes ~/.local data

Sorry, Paul, but I have lost my faith in the idea of volunteer support without strict oversight (which I gather is how things are working here). There have been too many problem that I felt were important that were graded low importance or even placed on the wishlist. I get the strong impression

Humphrey, We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and GNOME since that time. Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017. Have you seen a

[Bug 992430] Re: ubuntu update to 12.04 LTS wipes ~/.local data

not sure what you call the upgrader but the Ubuntu dist-upgrader doesn't access user' configurations, if there is a bug it's somewhere in gedit or in the user session softwares -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

[Bug 992430] Re: ubuntu update to 12.04 LTS wipes ~/.local data

Well, whatever is the case, the dirs+content dispappeared and that should not have happened. IMO that points to the existence of a bug somewhere. Now I have reported the bug and if anybody wants more information I will be happy to oblige. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

[Bug 992430] Re: ubuntu update to 12.04 LTS wipes ~/.local data

Thank you for your bug report, from what version did you upgrade? Did you have custom datas in those dirs? It's weird that an upgrade would change user files.. ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low -- You

[Bug 992430] Re: ubuntu update to 12.04 LTS wipes ~/.local data

I originally installed 11.10 which then upgraded itself to whatever. The data in those dirs was indeed custom data - as required by gedit - see: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/NewLanguage Fortunately, I could recover the missing files from elsewhere. -- You received this bug notification because

[Bug 992430] Re: ubuntu update to 12.04 LTS wipes ~/.local data

seems like an upstream bug, the installer or upgrader don't access user datas nor change those, if something changed that dir it's likely the new gedit itself when first ran, maybe they migrated those datas to a new location... ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New --

[Bug 992430] Re: ubuntu update to 12.04 LTS wipes ~/.local data

I searched the disk and the files were not found (I did include hidden and system files), ergo the dirs + content were wiped, ergo 'they' (of gedit) did not migrate those datas, ergo the upgrader must have been at fault. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu
