Workaround: I recommend installing Beyond Compare first. Then do your 12.10 to 13.04 upgrade.
If you experience this problem create a new account. Make sure the new account is in the sudo group. Log in as new user. gksu bcompare Open the old home directory and the new home directory in bcompare bcompre will show you any and all .whatever files and directories that are different between the two. Tell bcompare to copy any that are different from the new home directory to the old home directory. This will include .conf and .Xauthority. You should now be able to log in as the old user. You may need to chown some of the copied files though I haven't done this part yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1114418 Title: Cannot login from old 12.10 user in raring To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1114418/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
