I'm just trying to get their /home directory archived to an external hard drive from Rescue mode because I'm getting the idea the hard drive is failing or about to fail because of some errors I saw and because of some message stating about it being mounted as read-only.When your drama is over, we can tell you how Timeshift works
Don't worry about it now.....after you have finished with @f33dm3bits restoring your OS and retrieving data etc
Also, give some thought to using BitWarden password manager. That can be for later too.
ls | less
No idea, it works when I did it on my vm running Debian. Why are you wanting to scroll, I assume you are wanting to make an archive of all your files in your home directory.exactly this is what i tried. How are you suppose to scroll? Arrow keys do nothing, PgUp, Down nothing
Other thin you can do is the following.I want to see if I can actually read some of txt files and copy them manually onto my usb flash drive before I get an external one.
Grub is not the problem because it already goes past that when you boot normally, it fails at another part of the boot process. What you can do is boot into rescuemode, reset your root password, then boot normally and then fail it fails during normal boot again you can enter your root password and see what you can see from there.What would happen if I would 'reinstall GRUB boot loader' when I am in rescue mode?
Well, I 'discovered' that there is a graphic rescue mode which actually allows me to scroll using my mouse! Oh dear.
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install
If you look at the first photo you posted you will see -
[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules
See 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details
I believe you need to fix this first
Code:sudo apt-get update
Code:sudo dpkg --configure -a
Code:sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
rebootCode:sudo apt-get -f install
Precisely, need to press Ctrl+Alt+F3 at startup which will get you into a VT (Virtual Terminal) then run the commands after you login once done then rebootNo, the system fails to boot, so how can they perform those operations?
