But how could I use it if I don’t have access to the system?

you use liveusb, and mount your damage partition

This is what I see when I try to boot

Oh lol I can’t send pictures

error: file ‘/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod’ not found.
Entering rescue mode…
grub rescue >

yes, it is damaged

How do I access liveusb? What precisely do you mean by it?

I already faced issues some months back and when I booted in I was automatically in liveusb

you take another usb flashdisk, and burn archlinux iso on to it

So you’re it’s better/safer to solve this using linux than using some partition rescue software on Windows?

are you trying to recover some of your data or to reinstall it?

not really sure what you want, can you rephrase and tell more?

I have figured it out. It was the problem, ardour needs unlimited memory

The locked memory error from ardour at startup

Yes. I had tonadd my user to the group audio and add 2 lines in /etc/security/limits.conf

Normally after logout its working but i had to reboot then it was working

I’m trying to recover the whole system

it will never happen

That’s what I suspected too

no problem, I’ve seen many people just need rubber ducking
in the end, they solved it by them self

But I by no means have the knowledge to say that for sure

(as of right now)

data recovery software can recover something, not everything as it was before the disaster

That’s better than nothing

that’s what I asked you about your intentions

Rubber ducking?

you just need someone to talk about your issue (ie. a rubber duck on a bath tube)

I have arch with i3. This is how it looks when I type startx

Ah okay 🙂

What am I missing?

you don’t have i3

everything

I do

it’s not running

Looks like you’ve just started Xorg w/o anything to tell to load i3wm
