did you run those commands one at a time
Yes absolutely…
but thats not possible with those commands… it looks to me like you removed all files that dont require password, you then rebooted, and thats why your plasma desktop got also completely reseted…
How could I have done that? In any case looks like I’m sunk one way or the other.
Why is there a space after ~/ ?
That’s not what you literally ran, correct?
If so, you deleted your entire home directory.
Not 100% sure. If I did I had no idea…is there some way of retrieving it?
Not at home. Typing from phone. But I hope you had everything backed up.
You said you typed out your history. So I hope that was only a typo in your post.
Yes I did but the USB failed so this is not going to be a good day for me!
What does this report:
du -hs $HOME
719M /home/s
So your username is “s” and this user’s entire home folder takes up 719 MB.
Does this sound right to you?
Yes s is my username and size wise that sounds about right.
So hopefully you still have all your stuff.
Still not home. Hard to type on my phone.
If so I’m not sure where? Any help you can offer when you are back home would be appreciated.
Any recent update?
I had a similiar problem after latest update: 5.16 kernel became EOL, PAMAC uninstalled NVIDIA drivers for 5.16. Solution was changing the kernel to 5.15 (LTS, already installed).
You had other kernels installed? Can you creat a usb with Manjaro on it?
I can easily create a Manjaro USB. Yes I have had other kernels installed in the past.
Try change the Kernel first (after boot and the manufacturer logo, press SHIFT and go advanced).
If this don’t solve, with a USB, boot with it and try use some Timeshift backup if you had done some recently. But, before that, I suggest wait for some commands from our friends here.
Will do, thanks.
Still not home yet, but do you see a listing of your files with this:
ls -l /home/s/Documents/
You can also gauge it like this:
du -hs $HOME/{Documents,Downloads,Music,Pictures,Videos}
Regrettably nothing is coming up. No such file or directory.
