Was this the order of operations? #1 Upgrade/Install new OS version #2 Restore backup #3 Install new version of GnuCash
If #2 happened before #3, perhaps the GnuCash install is overwriting the restored .gnucash folder with a fresh copy. Does restoring just that folder again from the backup restore your settings? If so, then a bug should be filed on the overwrite issue. If you installed GnuCash first and then restored the .gnucash folder from the backup, then for some reason it is not being seen. But one last thing to check: Perhaps you have a permissions/ownership issue? Is the .gnucash folder and contents owned by your current user number with the proper read-write permissions? Be sure to check the owner’s user #, not just the name. So if you were user 1000 in Fedora 27, you’d need to be user 1000 in v.28 or else change the ownership of .gnucash and contents to your new user number.
