gnome3 – why not? :)
installing ubuntu gnome and broke it in less than 24 hours.
I really need to find a way to transfer home and all config data without breakage – or better: what not to transfer…
– do not install encrypted home – let’s do that later
I have tried getting my home directory encrypted, following these two articles:
http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7568/1.html
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder– Logout from the graphic interface
– Login with Alt+Ctl+F1 to get a terminal with the minimum open files.
– Create a new admin user:
sudo adduser –ingroup admin deleteme– Exit, log back in with ‘deleteme’
– Get the old home out of the way:
sudo mv /home/user /home/olduser– Rename the old user
sudo usermod –home /home/olduser –login olduser user– Create the new encrypted user
sudo adduser –home /home/user –ingroup admin –encrypt-home user– Exit, then login with the new user and copy all the files
sudo rsync -a /home/olduser /home/user– Make these files your own
cd /home
sudo chown -R user user– Logout, then login with the user, make sure everything works. After a couple of days without a problems, clean up:
sudo deluser –remove-all-files deleteme
sudo deluser –remove-all-files olduserafter installation: this needs to be done:
– check encrypted home (see above)
– install programs
– check locale (adjust if needed – .bashrc)
