Permalinkit. I have been using linux for about 6/7 yeas with very few issues.
Yesterday I let mint upgrade my system and there was kernel upgrade
included. I had tom reboot afterwards, but my system wouldn't load back
to the desktop. Instead there was some message saying that my system is
in Emergency mode. In among the text there was something about
journalctl etc. FSCK wouldn't run, not recognised, as was the same with
gparted.
All I could do was press enter which took me to a login option? or I
could press ctl D or something.
Anyway as nothing I did or knew worked, I booted up a live LM21.2 USB
stick and managed to copy my data to another USB stick. Then I did a
reinstall of LM, and once I had a working system, I restored 'Personal
data. Then copied my files from the USB stick to the relevant locations.
For the backup and retore, I am assuming it was deja vu backup tool,
is there a better one.
