using Mint 64-bit v19.3 Mate
To keep it short at first : is it possible to format a new hdd in ext4, install mint 19.3 from live usb and recover my system including encrypted home file restoring my oldest timeshift RSYNC snapshot (which included /home and /root) ?
Yesterday i tried to boot on this restored system and it crashed and went into read only.
So today i tried from another drive, opened sudo terminal from the restored /home file and tried
Code: Select all
thib@lm:/media/thib/7fa74946-eda6-475b-98c8-5f3dcc01bb43/home/.ecryptfs/ugh$ sudo ecryptfs-recover-private .ecryptfs

-Could the login not be accepted for any reason ?
-Could the files be simply missing or corrupted ?
-Is it reasonable to think this installation / restoration via timeshift on a new drive is functionning proprely ?
-Is there any book you can recommand to a joiner-who-likes-to-understand-linux-but-doesn't-want-to-go-hardcore ?
Have a great day !
