How to move /home and Amarok settings to another drive

[bouncingmolar]

I've reinstalled Kubuntu on another partition, so that I can have a separate partition for my /home

Is there a way i can use my entire old /home and retain my old amarok database??


I've read tutorials on compressing your /home to a tar and extracting it in the new location, but I'm not sure if that'd keep my amarok database(?)

amarok stuff is in hidden ".kde" directory

copying the amarok directory half works, but I get this error when loading

MySQL reported the following error:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
You can configure MySQL in the Collection section under Settings->Configure Amarok
