Suddenly everything is gone

Hello everybody

I try my best to explain this situation – I am really new to manjaro. I have a new notebook that I would like to use only for my work. I tried to set up everything in April but I didn’t do it properly, so in June I reinstalled Manjaro. Last week I finally found some time to set up my new notebook with all the applications I need and to transfer all the data (like my Firefox profile folder, “notes”, my calender ics etc) from my old notebook. Everything worked fine. I’m not really sure if I shut down my notebook during last week but I certainly did it three days ago. Well, today I logged in and… a lot is different and even more is missing.

  • Firefox remembers the last session but not my bookmarks. And so some reason it still has the search history from April

  • Todoist is still installed but didn’t remember my login

  • Calender is still installed but has no content

  • Background went back to standard

  • A lot of Applications are not installed any more

  • Applications were not pinned to task manager any more

  • All my notes are gone and except one I created in April

  • Files are gone

  • The only thing that is exact as I left them is Signal and Dropbox

So my notebook forgot almost everything and then remembers stuff that shouldn’t be there any more… I have absolutely no idea what to do know. Really appreciate any help! Thanks

Sounds to me like you have multiple installations

and/or possibly multiple /home partitions (if there are any /home partitions at all) and now you’ve booted up that old installation from april.

Please provide output of:

$ lsblk -f

$ cat /etc/fstab

$ efibootmgr -v

Thanks for your reply and sorry for not answering, I was just too busy.

I think some of the problems are actually my fault because I must have renamed some folders and moved them. Now everything works fine except Fadein, the software I use for work. It seems uninstalled and I can’t install it anymore. I had this problem before: Need help installing Fadein - #5 by NGr

Here is the output, maybe you can figure something out:

AUR package maintainer has to update the package. I flagged now myself out of date. Wait until the maintainer updates it or you can follow these instructions:

  • Execute: pamac install fadein
  • When prompted, edit the PKGBUILD
  • In the PKGBUILD, change the version to 4.0.9 and the sha512sums to: 8f71ca1f0d1b6a989bef341737e6c353d4424f9ab3a1e1a51f4f450f7826b71183393a154361e6cf807390f7603fede4421064c8880eb318e33858282a04ac05
  • Save and exit and continue building the package.
