We recently had a power outage and I had to restart my Ubuntu machine. For some reason the resolution was messed up and I could not change it (the monitor was unrecognized). I updated Ubuntu, but this did not fix the issue. Now, when I ssh into the computer remotely I get a different interface without the standard directories (e.g. Desktop, Documents etc). I also receive the following message
Could not chdir to home directory /home/me: No such file or directory
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.
I'm not sure what happened to my computer, and any advice is welcome.
ls -A /home
)?ls -A
? Did you perhaps have an encrypted home directory that has somehow stopped being decrypted + mounted? As well, please include your Ubuntu version information - what did you update from and to?/home
, not your (newly created)/home/me
- I'm trying to understand what "I see my name and user, but they are not directories" means exactly
