Manjaro Issue

[emilie]

I watched Anthony video of Manjaro OS and start using it. I found its good as compare to windows, fast and robust.

Mistakenly I was running random commands and I ran this one chmod 0664 /* and now I am unable to boot. 

Any solution?

restore backups?

 

You probably can restore permissions to where they need to be, but its gonna be a pain.

Don't have any backup and I was using standard notes on it. I have like few hundreds notes their. Any auto fix script for permissions?

Well you simply fucked up severely. Sure there are fixes to get it to boot but many commands will not work. Only real fix is to reinstall Manjaro. What you basically did was modify permissions for the root folder which almost always kills a PC no matter the permissions. You have it set to read write.

And you can change the permissions if you spend days working on a fix. It is "possible" but not practical in any sense as it has a high chance of not working, and if it does, stuff like Sudo will shut down as a similar command I ran when I first used Linux basically shut down Sudo and I could not fix it.

TL;DR:
Reinstalling is the better option (from experience)

do you want these files, should be able to easy copy the files off of it and reinstall.

If I reinstall my notes get delete and I have seed and private key of my atomic wallet.

Yes I want but the issue is; I set the passcode lock on it. What I did to get these notes is; boot into live manjaro (USB) and browser the drive with /home/ location and found standard notes files but they are not readable as I think these are encrypted.

id try copying these notes to anouther system, its probably not tied to that system if you know the password.

Well you have two options:
1. Accept the fact they are most likely gone

or
2. Be me, a stubborn bitch and do the 10 step program of pain 

1. Duel boot with another OS
2. Get the IMG file of the partition of your first Manjaro install
3. Look through the data
4. Copy your files
5. Look through them
6. Get rid of the corrupted ones
7. Backup everything to Google Drive (LIKE YOU ALWAYS SHOULD)
8. Recreate the files you lost to corruption
9. Cry
10. Calm down and back those new ones up too

If they are encrypted there are many decryption tools.

Good luck

Yes I know the password and tried to restore at different system but nothing come up in standard note.

Not just a lot of work, you also have to find very specific software. I found one once but I forgot about it after i didnt need it.

Forget manjaro recovery. What about wallet recovery if I don't have seed phrase?

Reinstall. This is pretty much impossible to fix. Why would you run that?

 

Your important data isn't necessarily lost, you can copy it out if you boot from a live disc - what software did you use to encrypt your files?

 

Also, always make a backup of important documents like this, especially if you're going to run random commands on your operating system...

as long chmod was not recursive, you may still be able to fix that, but you need an USB live of another linux distro, chroot  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/chroot#Using chroot on it and fixing the permissions with
chmod 755 /*

Then you should update grub
