sudo mount /dev/sda3/home

So, I actually gave up on saving the files and did a complete re-install. However, I wanted to try out your method as an experiment. So, I created a dummy file and set it on my desktop.
Because...
I gave up on this, and just did a clean install. Installed, Kubuntu 22.04.2 (LTS).
I'm in the process of trying to recover my system. However, in the event that I can't, I want to try Plan B. That is to copy files that are on my desktop folder and save them on another folder. I...

I did an update, yesterday night (18 Apr 23). I'm not 100%, but I think I restarted the computer after that. Today (19 Apr 23), I came home from work and found a message on the task bar the...
I installed the new hardware. Then I installed Win7, and after installing the hardware drivers, including the network card drivers, I went to install Windows Updates. There were several error codes...
I am debating whether to repair my machine, or not. I don't want to go to Windows 10. If I repair my machine (needs a new M.2 drive), I want to install Win7 on it. I have the product Key code. My...
Can anyone recommend a few repositories for good, current Firefox and / or Chromium forks? Especially, forks with good privacy implementations? Repositories for Ubuntu/Kubuntu...
Thank you.
grahammechanical, thanks for your input. I'll study this carefully.
Thank you! I think that will help me. I'll come back with a progress report.
Thank you for your reply.
I know about that web page, and about those instructions. For a non-Linux command line type like me, those step by step instructions don't help. I don't know what Linux...
Does such a thing exist? I'd like to replace Firefox with Ghostery Dawn browser or LibreWolf browser. Are there any Kubuntu/Ubuntu repositories for those?
Or a step by step tutorial on how to...

Vidtek's advice took me straight to the fix,...
I'm using Kubuntu 20.04. How can I set up my system so that it does not log me out after the computer goes to sleep?
In other words, you are saying there is no way, in the settings, to disable screen lock, after waking a sleeping computer.
We can set the system to log in without inputting the password, when...
Hello, Everyone!
So, I've got this ASUS notebook, a tiny little computer. I don't have anything important on it. I keep my files in a USB thumb drive. I don't use it to access the Internet, nor...
Thanks for all of your help! I succeeded in using a USB Kubuntu install, and now have Kubuntu 20.04 installed in the Asus device.
Thank you for your reply, and sorry for taking so long to reply.
I haven't had success making a bootable install USB. I follow the instructions, but Kubuntu won't install... So, I still use...

O.K. Thanks. Then I'm getting the ASUS.
By the way, I don't think I would be able to conceal an old 80's computer behind a clipboard....
