What do you mean with 'unpack' the DB? You need to import the sql dump into the mysql server of the second laptop.
I hope you weren't simply moving over the MediaWiki php files... It's the mysql db what changes.
Aeh well by unpack I mean tar xfvz wikidb.tgz in the /var/lib/mysql dir.
As I understand from you message this was the wrong thing to do. Do you know by heart the relevant mysql command.
Thanks
