I’ve lost everything and I don’t know how to get it back. How can I repair my system all I have is a usb with slax linux. I am freaking out because I had a lot of projects on their that I hadn’t pushed to github as well as my configs and rice. Is there any way to repair my system? Can I get a shell from systemd?
Boot to a liveUSB of the distro of your choice, create a chroot to your install, and then run a Pacman update from there.
Googling “Arch rescue chroot” should point you in the right direction. Good luck!
Will this work from slax linux? I am sorry if I seem like I can’t fix the issue myself seeing as you have given the resources for me to do so but what would be the exact steps to do that?
I’ve never used Slax but it should, boot the liveUSB and enter terminal.
