[resolved] statler -> waldorf upgrade w/o formatting home

Hi all,

I reinstalled #!  without formatting my home partition. It kept all of my (non-#!) settings etc, just as I wished. However, it also kept some old #! stuff, like the menu.xml. Now, when I try to log out, it says that cb-logout is not an executable or something like that.

So my question is: What files/folders should I remove from home in order to do a fresh install of #! without formatting home?

Thanks in advance,
Sam

I fixed the problem by copying a menu.xml from another #! system. Now I can shut down properly.

You can always get the default menu.xml (and other default files) from /etc/skel. You don't need to copy from another system.

The /etc/skel tree is used when you create a new user, so another option would have been to create a new user on your system and copy the config files from the home directory of the new user.

Excellent, thanks. I'd forgotten that.
