In this case it's possible to restore the user's home directory completely. This would take less time then trial and error. I only will lose 2 days of Firefox history etc., if I won't omit some configurations and one picture also would get lost. The picture is the only file I need to copy, before I overwrite this home directory completely. This seems to be the less time-robbing solution. I hoped hat there is just one configuration. -- Ralf -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
