I'm using linux lite from the flash drive that I originally installed with (because of continued problems logging in, per my previous post), and I'm trying to copy my entire home directory to an external hard drive, but many files and folders show up in file manager with an x, and when I try to copy them, I get a message saying "permission denied." So I tried doing it through terminal (I'm a beginner, but I know the basics), and I can't figure out how to access the home folder. It recognizes a parent folder called "linux," which, when I look in file manager, contains my home folder, but when I try to navigate to that with 'cd' in terminal, it doesn't exist.
Please help! Thanks for considering,
