As a long time Linux user and having used GnuCash for several years I
can tell you that your GnuCash settings are in a hidden file in your
home directory: ~/.gnucash
You didn't say how you made your backup so, as David asked, did you back
up your hidden files. If, for example, you used `tar` by running the
command `tar cvf /home/tmp/backup.tar /home/nikos` then your hidden
files should have been copied. However, if you instead ran `tar cvf
backup.tar *` from within your home directory, your hidden files would
not have been copied.

I am not an expert on Linux, so do not quote me here. I think that GnuCash
puts the settings in a hidden folder under your user directory. Does your
backup program also back up the hidden folders?

Hi All
I have recently made a back of my home directory on a fedora 27 pc
and then i restored it to a new installation on fedora 28. I was
expecting to open Gnucash and continue working on my latest Gnucash
file and also have all my settings in place but this was not the case.
Running Gnucash on the new installation is like you start application
for the first time.
Firefox for example does not have this behavior, all my setting
plugins, bookmarks,passwords are in their place after restoring my
home dir.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Note:
This is not specific to GnuCash 3, i have seen the same thing and on
previous gnucash versions.
