Backup Popfile Settings

[gavinjb]

Hi,

When the new version of Kubuntu is released I am looking at doing a clean install (and move from Ubuntu to Kubuntu), I have so far managed to get the information on most of the software and configuration changes that I will need to make, but have been unable to find where popfile stores its setting, and as popfile is getting a success rating of around 98.5% I dont want to have to retrain popfile.

Does anyone know where popfile stores all its settings, I have looked for ~/.popfile but it doesnt exist, so it looks like popfile stores its settings centrally.

UPDATE: I have found where the popfile scripts are (/usr/share/popfile), but I cant find any data files there, I did find a file to create some SQL tables, not sure what database it is creating them to, unless it runs its going SQL db.

Thanks,


Gavin,

If it has a man page, open up a terminal and say "man popfile" (or open Konqueror and enter "manopfile" in the address bar). Hopefully it exists under that name and tells you where the config is.

If not, try /etc/popfile.

Thanks, unfortunately there is no man page and the second I currently cant do as I only have gnome installed (waiting for Gutsy before installing KDE)

A quick look at the POPFile site tells me it uses SQLite to store its data.

So, look around for a file with the extension "db".

I found where the data is stored it is located in /var/lib/popfile
