Title: How do I move historic Calendar entries from LL3.8 to the LL4 series
Post by: m654321 on February 03, 2019, 06:36:56 AM

Hi Everyone,

I've been using the Calendar app, also known as Gnome-Calendar, for my appointments, etc.

Some time soon, I'd like to upgrade LL from 3.8 to 4 series on the Dell (see signature), but without losing all my historic calendar entries. Within LL's File System, I'm unsure where to go to do this ...

As always, any feedback's much appreciated ...
Thanks  8)

I don't use the calendar app for more than checking the date lol, but found this which might be useful to you :

Code: [Select]

Also look here:

Code: [Select]

Look under ~/.local/share/evolution/calendar It might be just a case of copying the data from there to a backup location and then copying it back after upgrade.

I use Evolution. I backed up my Evolution data in 3.8 by File>Back Up Evolution Data, to an external drive folder.

In LL 4.x I installed Evolution application and File>Restore Evolution Data  from the drive, and everything was there as before, though I had to re-enter email account passwords.

I hope this helps with your setup if it's similar.
