Help (cannot log in)

[chosun]

I think my main thing is that I want to find a way to keep my notes.. I believe it was knotes?

Dear Chosun,

I see notes are under akonadi control, that makes life complicated.
Anyhow, they are under your home directory, so should be preserved if you backup /home.
Be sure files starting with "." are backupped, the databases are under $HOME/.local/share.

Good luck

so there's no way I can just locate/grep/cat them?

Dear Chosun,

The programs knotes and kjots are now under akonadi control. I looked into it, and notes made with
kjots are either in a MySQL database or, if it's a big note, in a file pointed to from the database.

The akonadi tray icon (akonaditray) offers a backup possibility, which is especially useless if you cannot log in graphically because then you have no systray.

I'm pretty confident, that if you backup .kde and .local, (dot kde and dot local) in your homedir, that you have your files, but do not blame me if I'm wrong..

A complete dump of /home is the best solution!

Good luck

Seems like hardware problem to me. You might wanna consult a professional or last option is re-installation or format :/
