I had an extra problem, because even after this gpodder3 didn’t recognize any of my previously downloaded podcasts (it wanted to pull down 3Gb of new shows!). Skip past the initial dialog offering you default subscrptions and you can import the OPML file you created in the last step. Once you’ve done it you can quit and run gpodder3. Now you can export your subscriptions to an OPML file that gpodder 3 can import (it’s on the subscriptions menu).

Unpack the files somewhere (we don’t need to actually install it, just run it once. Here’s what I did: from the gpodder download site I downloaded the last release of version 2 (I used this one). So I was able to recovery my subscriptions. However – it seems gpodder3 keeps it’s configuration in a gPodder directory in your home dir, while gpodder 2 was keeping it’s configuration in. They don’t appear to have supplied any conversion tool nor any warning that your old config wouldn’t be converted (thanks!).
Ubuntu 12.10 now ships gpodder 3 which uses a new and incompatible database format. Re: gPodder subscription list gone after upgrade to 12.10 If stuff worked in the previous version, it should remain working in the new version and if it does not then the software should be held back until fixed as with open source there is no commercial pressure to get software out of the door at any cost other than that self imposed by the developers.Īfter a bit of searching on the internet I found an post from gds which is reproduced below:
It’s hardly surprising that with these sorts of problems, the year of the Linux desktop remains a distant hope for the community.

It a pity that not enough consideration had been given to how to transparently migrate from the SQLLite2 database in gPodder 2.x to the SQLLite3 database in 3.x this could have been avioded.
So it was with a degree of horror on upgrading Lubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 that I discovered all of my podcasts (10Gb worth) had apparently disappeared off my hard disk along with the subscription lists. In Ubuntu 12.04LTS (and variants) gPodder v2.20 was shipped and as with all previous versions of this podcast catcher software, it was relatively free of any major bugs as all good software should be if properly tested.
