Manjaro Issue
Manjaro Issue
I observed the Anthony video about Manjaro OS and began trying it out. It performed well compared to Windows—quick and reliable. I accidentally executed a command like chmod 0664 /* and lost the ability to boot. What can be done?
You don’t need an auto-fix script for permissions. Check your system settings or use built-in tools to manage access.
You made a major mistake. While there are ways to get it running, many commands won’t function properly. The best solution is to reinstall Manjaro. What you did changed the permissions for the root directory, which usually causes problems regardless of the settings. You can adjust them later if needed, but it’s risky and unlikely to succeed. It’s likely to fail, and commands like Sudo might crash as they did when I first started using Linux. TL;DR: Reinstalling is the safer choice based on experience.
Yes, these files can be easily copied for quick reinstallation.
When you reinstall your notes, it may remove everything, but you still have your seed and private key for your atomic wallet.
It seems you're trying to transfer these notes to another system. If you remember the password, it might not be linked to that specific platform.
You have two choices: 1. Acknowledge they’re probably gone or 2. Take control and follow the 10-step pain program for the Duel boot, switching to another OS. Retrieve the IMG file from your first Manjaro installation, inspect the data, remove any damaged files, back up everything to Google Drive (as you always should), restore the lost files, and if encrypted, use decryption tools. Stay calm and reinstall what you’ve lost. Good luck!
