Hello there,
I've been enjoying Solus since last year, with no issues at all. I left my last job in june 2018, and hence somehow abandoned the solus laptop I used to work with for quite some time. Rebooting it a few days ago got me surprised:
After accessing the GRUB menu and effectively loading Solus (displayed version is 3.9999 4.13.12-32), I can see appear my mouse for a few ms, then my screen will turn to black. A few secs later, my mouse appears again (I can move it) for a few ms, then black screen. And again, and again.
I've been trying to apply the "boot rescue" process, to no avail, still got the same bug. You can find the whole terminal process below:
`live@solus ~ $ sudo su
root@solus /home/live # mkdir /target
root@solus /home/live # lsblk

So I know, why would I try to fix my issue this way, if I simply can reinstall it? Well truth is, I absolutely need to recover a password from my evolution client! (Spent approximately 1h trying any and all that could come to mind).
2 options are therefore to be considered:
1- recover my solus version and access evolution to get my pwd back! (help?)
2- Access the solus keyring /evolution pwd file from a liveusb session and recover it (help, pretty pls? 😃)
Been finding some infos from Gnome on where to find the evolution pwd files, but I'm afraid those infos are erroneous when it comes to solus.
I would really appreciate some help on this, as I am a fairly basic linux user, and can't find no other way to take by my own 🙂
Thanks in advance,
Medi
