Fern decided to make my home folder its SVN root! Where's my data?? #69

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I've been using a hard drive installation of Kali on my laptop since it was 
released. The other day I launched Fern for the first time, played around for a 
bit, came back to it a few times over the next few days, and then rebooted.

When it came back up, everything was different ... why? well Fern has checked 
itself into my home folder, and so my home folder is now the root for Fern 
instead of being what it should be : all of my stuff.  

I don't know anything about Subversion, nor do I know anything about fern or 
much about programming for that matter, but I am PISSED because I use a lot of 
personalizations, I was working on several custom scripts, and I had a lot of 
output saved there that I was working with and its all GONE! You have to 
understand, I am not a developer and I don't know how to write code, but I 
suddenly got a fire in my belly and had been making a lot of progress, the most 
progress I have made in YEARS, and actually had written some useful scripts 
that I was USING. and now its ALL GONE and i'm like, awwww man !! why'd I even 
bother? ... and that SUCKS! Can someone save my spirit from being crushed by 
this non-sense and tell me how to fix it? please? and why it even happened in 
the first place? Please. Thanks.

im so sorry for this, any one would be angered if something like that happened 
to them :( .. From the first window in your screenshot fern files are scattered 
in the home directory this is strange because the files are supposed to be in a 
specific directory (Fern-WIFI_Cracker). How was the program installed?.. When 
fern updates, it usually cleans up the old files in its directory and replaces 
them with the new files. Thats how the other files got deleted during the 
update process.

Lets try to recover the lost files:
Are you using a virtual machine, and did you save snapshots of the virtual 
machine?

My home directory is still the svn commit folder for Fern
This is what my prompt looks like (using ZSH with GRML prompt)

   root@kali ~ (svn)-[Fern-Wifi-Cracker:216] # 

Why is Fern-Wifi-Cracker now my home directory?
How do I use svn to remove it from my home directory

This happened after I clicked the in-app update button. The update button is 
clearly flawed. 

I do not know how to use SVN, can someone please explain how to remove this 
from my home folder? I am no longer interested in recovering the lost data. I 
just want to get this crap out of my home folder.
