Hey there! I’ve got a big problem here and I REALLY need your help. A few days ago I’ve installed some dependencies that Steam required to start on my girlfriend’s notebook (with Ubuntu MATE 15.10) and when I did, everything started to uninstall (including stuff like cryptsetup, mate-core, firmware-linux and vital stuff like that, it was awkward because they had nothing to do with these dependencies that I’ve installed).
Now I cannot start the system normally (only in console mode booting from recovery) and I need to start it normally (you know, with a graphical environment and that) to copy my girlfriend’s important stuff located in ./home before reinstalling everything. This stuff is really important for her and man, I don’t want to ruin her christmas telling her that I cannot recover her documents, photos and videos. Thank you in advance!
Important: I’ve already tried to copy her home folder using the console mode (sudo cp ./home/cinthia /media/TOURO-1TB/cinthia) but I couldn’t, and that’s why I need the graphical environment.
