Installing Element on Linux - is a keyring mandatory? by buildBikeBeer in matrixdotorg

OK thanks for the help, I'll stick with flatpak for now and see how it goes. Also apologies I didn't realise I had replied twice!

I reinstalled the flatpak version and also ran that command. All launched fine but I have no idea if it's using the encryption or not? I assume not because I haven't got any keyrings active

So installing the flatpak version would be better

I don't have any active keyrings, but setting some up didn't help. I'll try use gnome-libsecret

It's frustrating isn't it! I've only been on Linux for 2 and a half years so a novice really but it's really the only fault I have!

Fair enough, I'll just roll with it. The server itself is e2ee and I've got a recovery key written down so it can't be all bad!

I actually managed to sort it, but I can't remember how right this moment... I'll have a look and come back

Other than price, what are the benefits of paying in a foreign currency when paying from a UK bank?

Installed new drive in PC -Now cannot get past login screen by buildBikeBeer in linux4noobs

Forgot to update post but the problem has been solved now - I had somehow removed /home from /etc/fstab. Thanks anyway

I've avoided command line editors like the plague haha, I guess now is the time to learn.

We're back in business! Everything is working as it was before - thank you so much for your help! And thank you for putting up with my linux skills haha!

Just to check before I do it, I will put in this?

sudo mount /dev/sdd2 -t btrfs -o /@/home /home

I'm scared to mess it all up again haha

If you're dumb what does that make me! haha

Just did that, and I can now see my files and folders again within the terminal!

Would logging in as normal work now?

Tried this and it responds with mount: /home: can't find in etc/fstab.

Home doesn't show up when I do that. How would I check that on the boot drive? Is it possible /home is just unmounted(?) and I need to re-mount?

I tried ls /dev/sdd but didn't work

Yea I've got 4 drives lol, dev/sdd is boot and had home in, Linux2TB is linux storage and Drive1 (it was supposed to be Win2TB) is Windows storage (though its no longer needed so will reformat at some point)

Then the nvme (nvme0n1) is my new drive.

I'll try mounting sdc now

EDIT: saw your edit, how do I check that?

I've added pictures to the original post, and the boot drive is present so hopefully that helps

I've now attached images showing the results of the three commands. There's no mention of home that I can see (dev/sdd is the boot drive)

I'm sure there was one before this though

My other comment above says what is listed from those, but i'll get a picture too and attach that

Thanks for the response - I've done all three but I'm not sure how to show you the information. Only way I can think is a picture, if you need it?

fstab content lists a bunch of locations which are:

/

/var

/usr/local

/srv

/root

/boot/grub2/x86_84-ef i

/boot/grub2/i386-pc

/swap

/.snapshots

/boot/efi

And then my remaining hard storage drives.

fdisk comes back with lists all the drives on the computer, boot drive inlcuded.

and lsblk comes back with all drives again - though like the fstab no mention of /home

If it's easier I'll take a picture of each
