@crowgirl I wrote you this in Reddit but I put it here also for visibility

here's what I think is happening: The home directory is probably encrypted with ecryptfs (file-based encryption), not the whole disk with LUKS. This is a common Ubuntu setup option.

Try this:

Open a terminal and run: ls /media/kubuntu/kubuntu_2404/home

Can you see your username folder? Can you see files inside it, or does it look like gibberish/encrypted filenames?

If it looks encrypted, you need to decrypt your home folder:

sudo apt install ecryptfs-utils

sudo ecryptfs-recover-private /media/kubuntu/kubuntu_2404/home/.ecryptfs

It'll ask for your login password (the one you used to log into 24.04).

Vibe Coding: The Truth About AI-Generated Code

YouTube

In episode 58 of "The AI Fix" podcast, some robot footballers fall over, we discover a pair of AI headphones that don't electrocute you, Microsoft invents "medical superintelligence", Chucky opens a hotel, Jony Ive invents a $6 billion pen, and Malcolm Gladwell fears a dystopian future full of children playing joyfully in the street.

Plus... I discover that the number 27 holds a special place in the heart of every AI, and Mark Stockley investigates Anthropic’s terrible AI shopkeeper.

Asking for a little favor.

A few years ago -for obvious reasons- I deleted all my american services. (instagram, facebook etc)

The result was my business plummeting down, no projects came in anymore, making it nearly impossible to come around after 20 years of career.

The favor I'm asking is if you know someone who's working with illustrators, or even just interested, just share my stuff please. Thanks :)
