Yes!


Maybe sda5 was not mounted to the expected place.


I could see sda5, Camino-casa via Midnight Commander. This is only possible
when mounted.

Can I do this via:

Kubuntu 24.04 in recovery mode?

or via the same OS at a Ventoy live usb?

How can I copy command line output in such situations?

Yes.

The password shouldn't be the problem because it was working before.


I agree.

I'd rather think it is a problem of permissions or missing /home/bas

I'll try this later today.

If that isn't OK, you could check the file /var/log/syslog for mounting

Accessible via the emergency or recovery mode?

All possible in the recovery mode?

I get this.

Possible in the recovery mode?

What can I do if it is like that?

Is there a way to recover it?

Or is better to reformat the whole 1 TB  SSD, after which I take recourse
to the Floxclone  iso backup and the Backintime user data backups at the
big external SSD?

Have a good day.

Bas.
