this is the only output?:
try forcing it:
sudo fsck -f /dev/sda2
and also you can just copy the home directory, with the hidden files and then just copy the configs folders back, for example from your browsers… etc …
more info:
still only getting
fsck from util-linux 2.37.2
so there is something wrong with your system…
try:
sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sda2
you can use also kde partition manager from the live usb to check the partition…
but as mentioned just backup the home directory, install manjaro, and copy the folders from the backup into the new home directory… escpecially the browser folder and other program that you regularly use and have it set up… dont copy anything else…
e2fsck 1.46.4 (18-Aug-2021)
ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda2
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
/dev/sda2 contains a crypto_LUKS file system
as I understand it, it fails because the drive is encrypted?
oh you have encryption, that could be a problem… can you access your files via dolphin?
yes!\ I am able to mount via dolphin
ok, i was worried, that the fsck on the encrypted partition messed it all up…
again, forget about the fsck, just do this:
its better that way, to copy only the important programs and nothing else … also check the other links for more info if you are intersted
