Good day gentlemen/ladies,
I feel horrible/ashamed for all the noise I created on this list.
I made a "** silly **" mistake.
I have been doing this many times moving from new release to new release
and other linux flavours and it works every time.
I installed the same cd to another spare usb external drive to try and
mimic what I did.
Daily save my home directory to a spare external usb backup drive.
In my case the gnucash directory is named " Gnucash " that has been
copied to many linux versions.
The following steps... (works every time if done correctly)
1- Copy " Gnucash " directory to new installation home directory.
2- Run gnucash.
3- Cancel tips
4- Do NOT create new set.
5- NO to welcome dialog.
6- Close tips of day
7- File -> Open
8- Click on " Gnucash " directory.
9- Click on Open (** Here is the mistake **)
10- No suitable backend ///// for file /home/johan/Gnucash
11- Click on Close
12- File -> open
13- DOUBLE click on " Gnucash " directory ...now the directory eapands.
14- Click on open
15- Success !!!!!!!!
Again ** Very sorry ** . Maybe this will assist some one in the future.
Thanks
Johan.
