R: "When moving from GnuCash 2.6 to 3.x or above, GnuCash will
automatically try to migrate all data from DOT_GNUCASH_DIR to their
respective new locations. After mitgration, GnuCash 3.0 or above should
never use DOT_GNUCASH_DIR again."
For my Linux system, DOT_GNUCASH_DIR is $HOME/.gnucash, and my data
file and all associated *.log files are there. Since my previous
GnuCash version was 1.something, is it reasonable to assume that this
migration was not even attempted?

Phil,
The installation of the GnuCash help and Tutorial and concepts guide is a
separate download and installation from the installation of the program and is
available under a separate link in the panels on the left on the GNuCash webpage
i.e. [2]https://gnucash.org/docs.phtml . They should also be able to be install
ed
from Ubuntu's package manager. Not sure about the scheduled transactions - I
would expect them to be stored in the book but they may be stored in the user
preference information. This wiki
page [3]https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations has information on
where they are stored and you may need to copy them from a backup of your old
system.
