Khurram Wadee ✅<p>I could also mount the encrypted partitions on the <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/HardDrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HardDrive</span></a> and to recreate the symbolic link which I’d deleted. Luckily this allowed my original system to start <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Booting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Booting</span></a> again. However, something was still wrong with sudo but looking it up, there was ample help online about what was wrong: the <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/program" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>program</span></a> has to be <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/setuid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>setuid</span></a> 0 and so once I was able to do that I recovered the system. Phew.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/ShaggyDogStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShaggyDogStory</span></a></p>
