I was about to move my files to an external hardrive and install a new linux distro when (in literally the worst timing ever) my computer died and now the desktop is non existant.
Is it possible to move my files (which are all in one folder on my desktop) to my external hardrive?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
ctrl+alt+f1orctrl+alt+f3I think depending on your Ubuntu version. Then you'll need tomountthe external hard drive. Finally use thecpcommand to copy files. You might want to use themkdircommand first to make a directory on the external device to hold the files. – WinEunuuchs2Unix May 31 '19 at 02:45lsblkcommand which will show your drive name (e.g./dev/sdb), mount it then. – Liso May 31 '19 at 02:54
