I just installed Mint 9 to a secondary computer. I made a split "/" partition and "/ home". the whole thing was immense! Then I used the backup tool new Mint to restore the / home directory that was backed up on an external HD. It took me much longer to recover than it did to make the backup, but after it finishes rebooting, hoping to acquire my old settings back. The desktop image, theme and icons are restored, nevertheless there is not a menu of Mint, the time and date, list of wi-fi windows or indicator on the panel. Also, my Firefox icon is blue and white instead of the regular colors, even though the icons are the same.
I can add the missing elements, except that I have not been able to find a way to add wireless connection icon, and I cannot get my internet to work now. It will not connect automatically or ask for my password for default. I do not understand why these things are missing. There should be setup the same as they were?
