An hour of googling did me no good. One of those things it's hard to pinpoint the right terms for.. Basically I moved a partition containing Ubuntu Karmic to another laptop, and booted right up. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9168599 The only hard problem I have encountered so far is with Emacs. "GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3) of 2010-03-26 on palmer, modified by Debian" I get "GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times", but I suspect that's unrelated. Easiest way to explain is some screenshots: Just after startup, maximized. http://www.div.org/emacs/Screenshot-emacs@totiki.png "Restored" http://www.div.org/emacs/Screenshot-emacs@totiki-1.png Default font saved as anything other than what it was. http://www.div.org/emacs/Screenshot-emacs@totiki-2.png Starting without .emacs makes no difference. I have a gut-feeling this must somehow be related to X, but I really have no clue. Any ideas are appreciated. Gaute
