So my last laptop broke and I tried to restore the files from my internal ssd harddrive. I bought an adapter from the harddrive and plugged it into another computer running ubuntu. It asked me for a passphrase, i entered it but it only mounted a small folder containing things I don't care about.

  • I unlocked it with the passphrase and it shows me the small folder in the above picture. It's not the files in the desktop i wanted – Qwertford Jul 23 '20 at 12:48
  • Try manually mounting it on the command line.... if you need to unlock it on the command line use the udisksctl command udisksctl unlock -b /dev/sda#... udisksctl mount -b /dev/sda#... I believe this mounts in /media... other options to investigate with on the manpage... – WU-TANG Jul 23 '20 at 14:23
  • When I try to mount it manually it says >Object /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sda3 is not a mountable filesystem. – Qwertford Jul 23 '20 at 14:39
  • @user68186 I did just that thank you – Qwertford Jul 23 '20 at 14:52
  • @user68186 I just did thank you! – Qwertford Jul 23 '20 at 15:24
  • Thanks! I see the LVM2 PV is not mounted. for putting up with me. Unfortunately I don't know much about LVMs. I hope someone else will see these screenshots and will be able to help you with the next step. In the mean while, following the steps in the section How to mount LVM volume may be helpful. Start from the command sudo vgscan down the list. You may want to copy and paste the commands and their outputs from terminal to your question. Best of luck! – user68186 Jul 23 '20 at 16:01
